             Everyday,our mental and physical health is affected by our daily habits and lifestyle choices.How to keep a health body,and how to cultivate exercise habits and dietary habits for ourselves are problems we have every day and which people ignore.

             Actually,developing good habits should be automatic behavior.Cultivating good habits is good for us.If we don't cultivate good habits,it will harm your health.Sometimes,we like to eat when we feel hungry,even though it may not be at a good time,the same is ture drinking.Sometimes take a nap when we feel sleepy,even though take a nap for a few hours.These are bad habits and we should change them,before they make us sick and they become serious problems.We have to know about health ingerenal,in order to keep our physical and mental health strong every day.Even for our mental health,we have to change our lifestyle.For example,we can arrange indoor and outdoor activities.We can have a picnic,sightsee with friends or clean the house and make confortable where we live.

            Everyone knows how to keep health mentally and physically,but we often ingnore it in our daily lives.We have to caltivate good daily habits from our childhood to develop healthier general habits for ourselves.

             New York is an interesting city and it's a modern and handy city,too.When I came here the first time,I would like to know more about this city.The skyscrapers,many famous sightseeings,busy traffice with crowded people,the mix clutures with ethnic group in the city.

              I have been here for six months.I like everything in New York,but something really terrible in the city.There are no body care and no body listen when you need someone to help.For example,I was going to supermarket with my friends,and we need to take the bus.The bus should be come here fifteen minutes for once,but we still waiting for long time.Thirty minutes later,we saw a bus come to here ,but it shows"Not In Service".Then the next bus shows the same thing and back to back.What a surprised,I have never seen that before.We felt so bad and exhausted.Fifty minutes later,we get in the bus finally.It was a bad experience for us.I think the public means of transport convey always not on time in New York,even though you take subway or airplane,and the drivers are not friendly,and haven't good attitude and patience to passengers.

              I think it's difficult to change it in New York,because no body care and no body listen who is needs help.That's sucks.We need more human touch in this city.This is what I feel to New York .

             I would like to finish all my English classed in ALCC first.This is the most important to me this year.I will improve my English.Then get a job in the United States or go back to Taiwan.Second,I hope that I have more time to do exercise,because I have never had exercise since I came to New York.I liked to played basketball when I was in Taiwan.I used to play basketball once a week and it helped my health.Third,I hope my family and all of my friends are happy and healthy.They are supportive of me to do what I liked to do,and they helped me a lot when I needed someone help.I really appreciate them and I hope that I could do something for them some day as well.Last,I would like to do everything smoothly this year whatever it's my education,career,or relationship.

                 I have been in New York for five months.I could celebreate Halloween,Thanksgiving and Christmas with my friends.It was fun and exciting when you were here.In New York,most people would like to have a special holiday with their friends or family.Everyone is going shopping , hanging out with friends,traveling or inviting friends to come over.

                 Last Saturday,my friend and I had a party in our apartment.We invited a lot of friends to come over.My friend is a New Yorker.He would like to have a special Christmas party with his friends.He planed the party for two months.He cleaned the apartment,cooked a lot of dishes,bought many gifts and prepared everything.He was working os hard for the party. I have never done that when I was in Taiwan.That was very interesting,but it made me very exhausted as well.

                Actually,I would like to have a simple party.You could have a dinner with your family and friends,but in New York,the most people is preparing everything for holiday.They go shoppingfor food and gifts,and they wear costumes and celebreate on the street for Hallowen,Christmas and New Years'.That's amazing and fun as well.

              Last Saturday,I had a Christmas party in my apartment.My friend Walter and I were so busy preparing many things for the party.Actually,I don't like being so busy and crazy,but it was  a great party!Everyone loved the party,the food,the gifts and everything.I was feeling so good after it was over.

              We planed this party two months ago.First,we invited many friends to come to the party.Some people canceled at the last minute.I really wanted to make sure how many people werecoming.I could plan for shopping.Second,we bought Chinese and Italian ingredients,and seruing utensils for the party.Third,we cleaned the apartment and moved furniture for two days.We were so exhausted.Never again! Too much work!Finally,we had to cook a lot of dises.I prefer Chinese food.I cooked Shumai,Fried damplings,Tempura and Popcorn Chicken.Walter cooked his famous dishes of Bokchoy,Pepper steak and Tortellini.It took us eight hours to prepare.We didn't have breakfast,lunch or dinner that day.Then we had to warp gifts and clean the kitchen.I'm glad we finished them before the party.My friends,classmates and Walter's friends liked this party,and they mae new friends as well.

             After the party,Walter and I were so exhauste,but we still could not slepp.Maybe we drank too much Coke at the party.We took a break later.Then we cleaned the apartment and washed dishes again.We finished them early in the morning.This was a great party and everyone enjoyed it as well.We met new friends at the party who are from different countries.It was like a United Nations Christmas party.It'll always be a good memory in my life.

                   There are certain times when people allow lying,when lying or not telling the whole truth is done to protect the feeling of their friends or family.

                   I have a very conceited friend who is constantly talking about how great and good looking he is.Sometimes he gets depressed and to help cheer him up,I tell him how good looking he is or how nice he looks that day,even though I really don't believe it,is that a lie?

                    I prefer people to tell me the truth and the white truth all the time,but I understand there are times when telling the whole truth might be hurtful and  a little white line can often help people rather then hurt them.

                  Everyone needs friends,even though they are rich or poor.treat yourself well first,then do the same thing for your friends.T still believe that they will treat you well when you need someone to help you in your life.Just open your mind and arms.You will never be alone.

                  I was a shy person when I  graduated from junior high school.I liked to meet new friends,but I wasn't an extroverted type of person and not good at socializing,so some people liked to bully and laugh at me when I was alone.I felt so sad and became more introverted.I had only a few friends in the school,but they were not really close friends.After school,I always stayed at home and watched TV.One day,I saw a movie.It was about a young boy and how to keep friendship with his friends.He was always kind to his friends and helped his friends as well.He had a lot of good friends in his life until he died.This  movie taught make me how to make new friends.I tried to do the same thing as in the movie.I joined the basketball team in the school and was kind to my classmates and friends when they needed someone's help.Step by step,I made a lot of good friends in the school until I graduated.

                 Now,I'm living in United States.I don't have a family and close friends here,but I still remember how to treat new friends well.They will do the same thing back to you.I'm looking back on this situation.Maybe some friends are not good for you.Even though someone hurt you before,that is an experience,too,and it helps you to learn how to choose between good friends and bad friends.

            Most people own pets for several resons,because they are lonely;even though they may be living with family or friends,and people try to get companionship and protection from pets when they feel lonely and want security.

            I own a pet now and he's a dog.I like any kind of dog.I walk him,wash him,feedhim,and play with him.He likes people and he seems to know when I am happy or angry.He likes to lay on my feet when you're watching TV or reading.Sometimes he feels sick or unhappy and you have to take care of hime,and make himfeel comfortable.Sometimes owning a pet can be easy or hard.

          I think dogs are the best pet for people,because they know how to make people happy and secure when you are feeling lonely or need someone be with.They can be loyal and sweet to people when you are feeling bore.If you know how to treat them right.they will be nice to you as well.

          Halloween?What's that?I had never celebrated it before when I was living in Taiwan,but in America,it's a big day for everyone.They have to wear a special costume and have a party with friends or go to the streets and have fun with people.Many children with costumes on visit their neighbors and go trick or treating for a lof candy.That's very interesting.

         Yesterday was Halloween.I saw many people wearing special and strange costumes everywhere,even in the schools.There were teachers and students wearing costumes in the school.Then many students wanted to take a photo with everyone who wore a costume.Some students bought a lot of candy and shared with classmates and teachers.It's so fantastic.After class,some classmates invited me to have a party,but I ave a job to do yesterday,so I couldn't go with them.

Halloween is an interesting holiday.I hope that next year.I will have time to party with them.You can celebrate with everyone,even if you don't know them.

                 Last year,I came to New York and visited my friend.I was so excited when I arrived in JFK airport,because I saw everything is different and difference kinds of people were spoke English.It's just like a small United Nations in the airport.

                In New York,the traffice is very convenient.You can take a bus,subway or taxi everywhere and you don't need to worry about the restaurant as well.You can try difference kinds of food from different countries in New York and there aremany difference kinds of neighborhoods in the city,too.I went to Brooklyn,Coney Island,Jamica,the Bronx and Flushing.There are many interesting things to try and see.I had a lot of fun when I was there with my friends.The  skyscrapers and sightseeing points are very classical and modernize in New York,and there are amazing and interesting.

                 Now,I'm living in New York.I go to the city every day.Everything is happening around me when I am in school,on the subway or walking on the road.I like this city and I 'm glad to be living here as weel.
