[Extra 1] Why do you think some people are attracted to dangerous sports or other dangerous activities?

We all live in the comfortable environment without many confuse things. It is very boring to some people they do some dangerous sports and activities. Rock climbing, extreme sport, U-shape board, these dangerous sports are really attract their eyes. Just Because they are very exciting.

I thing I am the person like to do these dangerous activities. I love in-line skate and do some dangerous action like jump through the people lie on the ground. That sound crazy, but for me, it’s just a piece of cake and it is very safe. Why not play the game easier? Because the more things seem impossible I do, the more achievements I gain. That is the reason why many people like to do the dangerous sports.

I know some people like mountain climbing. They also gain the pleasure from the activities. They conquer the mountains and the weather then see the beautiful scenes on the top of the mountains. I think that is the reason why they would rather do the things to exchange the feeling in their minds.

Some people do many dangerous things and ignore the side effects and the safety, like driving the cars fast. Although they gain the pleasant sensation, they might hurt someone’s life innocent. I really don’t know what they want actually.

Many people always live their life at a repeat circle. Why not trying some more exciting thing? You can acquire the extra achievements you can image.

The New Year Resolution

The 2006 year passed so fast that there is not enough time to do many things I still want to do. With 2006 year passed, I finished the 3rd year of the colleges -- the most tired year in the colleges. Because of that, I spent many time in my lessons, I didn’t have enough time to do what I really want to do. Now, the 4th year in the colleges, the schoolwork is still hard. But I believe that I can still use the rare extra time to do my things besides of the lessons. I have some wishes in this New Year.

First, I wish I can pass the national exam of the doctors. Passing the exam is the most important thing for a medical student. If I don’t pass the exam, the country cannot accept me to be a doctor. So, I must study hard to pass the exam.

Second, I want to learn the jazz tom-tom. It’s sound laughable. For me, I didn’t learn any musical instrument ever. So, I wish I can learn one musical instrument at least all my life. Why is the jazz tom-tom? I had played some musical games last year. I am interested in these games like play the jazz tom-tom truly.

Third, I hope I can maintain the healthy body. In our college life, we play and learn for a long time. We play all night and forget the sufficiency sleep. We always ignore the health. What a terrible thing! So, I wish I can plan my time efficiency.

These three new year resolutions sound basically and compulsorily except of the second I mentioned. However, I didn’t do well last year. I hope I can do well in the 2007 year.

The ability to make others laugh and enjoy being together with you, and people who are famous for their humor are rarely without friends. They can use the skill to make friends with many people who can help them in their occupations. You can image that someone’s speech with humor, so he can catch many people’s eyes.

There are many examples about successful people with humor. Like the famous literary authors Mark Twain. His articles are full of humors that make many readers laugh. Another famous example is American president Lincoln. He had many humorous talking so the people can remember him.

I know a person who has humor. He has a remarkable talent for finding something funny in any situation. Furthermore, his humor is always of a gentle kind. He never makes fun of people or get laugh out of another person’s embarrassment or physical disabilities. Everyone he knew is glad to talk with him. I am happy that he taught me some skill of humor.

Humor seems to be a very important skill when we talk to someone. If we talk without humor, we might make the listeners boring. So improving the skill is necessary in the world today. And in my opinion, humor can make people success.
