A Traffic Accident

I saw a traffic accident on my way to school this morning. An old man was walking across the street when a car ran a red light. The driving too fast to stop his car in time. Just as the car was about to hit the old man, a youg man came running and pulled him away. The old man's life was saved, and the young man's bravery won the respect of all passersby.

Coffee

Drinking coffee has become a fad in Taiwan. Coffee shops are popping up everywhere, and even street vendors are selling coffee, too. In addition to coffee, many coffee shops offer a wide variety of desserts and light meal as well. They also provide customers with a relsxed and comfortable atmosphere. In my view, a coffee shop is the best place to kill time.

A Blackout

We had a blackout last night, and the house was left in total darkness. We didn't know what to do, but Dad suggested we light a candle and sit around the table. He wanted us sll to tell stories or jokes. There was a brief moment of silence, but soon my older brother started to tell a joke. The joke was so funny that we couldn't help bursting out laughing. He went on to tell us many more jokes until the lights came back on. We all went to bed smiling.

Keeping a Diary

I started keeping a diary soon after I went to junior high school. Even today, I still keep this habit. Keeping a diary enables me to reflect on what I have done right or wrong. This gives me a chance to improve myself. By keeping a diary, I have also made a lot of progress in my writing skills. There are so many advantages about keeping a diary that I believe it is a habit well worth cultivating.

My Favorite Subject

Many people regard history as a boring subject, but I am an exception. If you think of history as stories, you will not feel bored with it all. History is all about events that actually took place in the past. Learning about history is a way to understand how our cultures and values were built. In other words, we can understand ourselves better by studying history.
