When it comes to the expense, the tour travel trip usually cost more money than backpacking. If you choose tour travel trip, it may cost you much money because the tourist agency will earn money, you should pay money for them. If you choose backpacking, you can pick the cheap hotel or restaurant. As for the location, you can go to the spot wherever you want to go if you are backpacking. Besides, you can also stay in a place for a long time rather than look around. When you are backpacking, you have to do everything by yourself including advance the plant ticket, hotel, plan the schedule and design the route. But is you join the tourist agency, you just prepare luggage, money and have fun. By join the tourist agency, you can know more people and may have more fun.

mid-term

There are more and more people going to the book fair to choose the kinds of book that they like, and so do I. I have gone to the book fair for several times. I think it’s great for us to go to the book fair. When we go there we can know what books are published recently. Also, we can realize other kinds of book we have never read before.

Nowadays, people are too busy to read books, needless to say go to the library. Therefore, the book fair is a good way for them to get the information about books.

In such variety of book, I like novels best. Novels give me the more space to imagine, such as THE LORD OF RING and HARRY POTTER. In my opinion, I think reading novels can ease my stress and let me relax.

Reading novels can lead me to a wonderful world. What’s more, I can learn some word use from the novels whether in English or Chinese. When you feel bored, novel is a good choice for you.

The “battle of the sexes” started with Adam and Eve.

I think it will probably continue forever.

It is the opinion that men are superior to women has long been accepted in many cultures.

Therefore, the feminist movement is trying to change this view.

Feminists claim that boys and girls are exactly equal at birth but become unequal because of the way they are treated by society.

What’s more, feminists believe education has contributed to the gender inequality.

According to recent research contradicts the view that males and females are innately alike.

Last Sunday, I went to Kaohsiung to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday. We went to a restaurant. There are many foods from Penghu. It was very delicious.

I came to Chaoyang have already for four weeks. Everyday, when I come back to the dorm, I feel very tired. There are many delicious food near by the second dorm. Every night, we go to buy dinner by walking. Recently, I find there are a store which sells touhua is yummy, and it is cheap.

Originally, I think I will be thinner than I come taichung, because in here I couldn't eat the dinner by my mom cooks.

But now, I am not thinner than before. I don’t have the roommate. At first, I was afraid of sleeping by myself. But now, I used to sleeping by myself. Sometimes, I even feel one person live in a room is better than two people.

Enjoy a person’s life.
