The Valentine’s Day
The entire day is filled with little opinion slip-ins from people, which I love. It's fun to find out everyone's current stance on valentine's day (which is often reflective of their current boyfriend/girlfriend situation). It's either they love it, they hate it or they're middle ground... except it's not like regular middle ground. It's like the middle ground where they make it a point that you know how middle ground they are.
I think about the valentine's day.The people buy thing for the valentine's day.example cards,candy,flowers,stuffed animals,jewely,dinner,etc. My boyfriend buy jewely to me but I do not like jewelry. It does not mean I do not have it at all, I have a couple of inexpensive rings as gifts from my parents. I just think, My boyfriend pay too much attention to this stuff. I believe it is the result of mass advertising in valentine festival. Every day when I am watching TV, listening to the radio or reading the paper I notice many ads about getting an expensive ring, chain, necklace ,ear-rings,cards,candy,flowers,stuffed animals,jewely,dinner,etc. From my point of view these step of valentine festival. In my case, Friend of my boyfriend are encouraged him to buy things I do not really need. They make my boyfriend believe I need such products in order to succeed or be happy in love.
From the other side, I think the gift is not important. I want to romantic situation that my boyfriend and I saw an ad on the Internet about a very interesting and inexpensive vocation to Kabi for a week. We like traveling. So now we are planning to find out more about it and, may be, make reservations.
ERAGON A BIG MOVIE
I ever read Eragon when it is a book before the producer will pick up this novel to be producing a movie.
Eragon is a big movie has three episodes that come from famous the novel. The writer was by Chritopher Paolini. This is a magical story. The emotion is similar “THE LOARD OF THE RING”. This story is about the young boy who is orphan. He live with uncle in the field at Alakasia.When he went to hunting he found the blue stone before he feaster stone with food that was something happen. The little dragon came out the stone. He call names the little dragon “Safiara”. E found himself. He was dragon rider. He was the last dragon in the world if didn’t count the king. He must escape from the king (Kunbatoric) who was brutal because Eragon was just only one hope of rebel to release them from the king.
If I talk about “THE LIVING EXPENSE”
Now, the last week of month and I don’t have money. I don’t like live in Bangkok because the living expense is very expensive. If I have holiday I will come back home. At Bangkok, The competition is very high price. So I will save money more than when I come back home. At Bangkok, I go out to eat the food at restaurants every time, everyday but at my home in the countryside I will eat the food at home with family
A huge amount of fast food stands suggest their services for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper here in Bangkok. The competition is very strong. Every week you get in your mail-box an envelope with different types of discounts in exchange for visiting them or ordering pizza. Watching TV you are also from time to time invited to visit a restaurant in order to taste some delicious food. It is not because it is easy to make money cooking but because the demand for such service is high. First of all, people like to go out sometimes to have dinner with friends. Second of all, it is often impossible to drive home for lunch. It can be time consuming. As for countryside, it is a great tradition to have dinner at home with the family and go to the restaurant for big holidays. Additionally fast food is not popular in countryside. So you will see advertisements of coffee, sweet products and juice instead of restaurants and fast food stands.So I like come back home in the countryside more than live in Bangkok because I have time for family together and I can save money from the price of food because my mother ,she make cooking the food by herself and it is very delicious.
HELP THE CHILDS [UNDEVELOPED EDUCATION]
I will go to help the child at Udonthanee with my faculty in this summer. We plane about build school to the child and buy something is a gift for them. A gift can contribute to a child’s development. What gift would we give to help a child develop? We think many things such as a camera, a soccer ball, an animal or money. I think that in our modern world it is very essential to be familiar with computer technology. So, if I had a chance to give a child a gift it would be a computer. I think that computers play an essential role in our lives and they bring many benefits to our society. Moreover, children can learn by use of computers. In the following paragraphs I will give my reasons to support my answer.First of all, by use of computers children can play many games, which help to improve children's ability to think logically, think about their next step, etc. Moreover, playing games develop many important qualities such as attention, patience, persistent, etc. Second of all, computers help children to learn more about anything by use of Internet. They can find new friends even from another country. Children will improve their communication skills, gain more knowledge and experience. Also, children have a great opportunity to learn more about other countries, their history, traditions and customs. Finally, computer skills can help a child to find his or her first job. A child can find an ad in the Internet about a job offer or he or she can make a resume and place it in the Internet. Personally, I think it is a great experience and big step forward towards a future career.In addition to those practical benefits, computer technology helps children to do their homework faster. They can type their data into the computer, easily check the grammar, correct mistakes and then print it out. Moreover, there are plenty different kinds of educational programs that can help children learn how to read, write, draw and even how to behave and speak a foreign language. To sum up, I believe that children should learn how to use computer because this knowledge will help them in the future to be more self-confident and enterprising. Furthermore, computers can greatly improve and simplify their lives if children know how to use them.
THE CHINESE NEW YEAR 2007
THE CHINESE NEW YEAR 2007
This Chinese New Year begins on February 17, 2007. This is the year of the Pig Chinese New Year is the most important and longest holiday in China. Chinese will begin celebrating on the New Year's Eve and the celebrations will last for 15 days but the important days have 3 days. Chinese New Year has the first day for Chinese people buy fresh food for make cooking and then they make clean their home. The main food is pork, chicken and fruit. The second day, Chinese people prepare the food for thank the ancestor. The third day, it look like New Year so it is also called the day for travel because Chinese people stop work for congratulation in Chinese New Year.
The Year of the Pig The Chinese calendar is represented by twelve animals. Each year is represented by one animal. This year is the year of the pig. The 12 animals in order are: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Chinese zodiac is also based on the 12 animals.
Things the family and I do. A list of things or traditions Chinese may do around Chinese New Year. For special thing I like, I famous only the red packet because I like money……. (‘v’)
Preparation
Usually the preparation starts a month before the New Year. The preparation includes thoroughly cleaning and decorating the house, buying new clothes, preparing enough food for at least two weeks. The decorations are highly symbolic with a lot of lucky words, printed paintings and red colors everywhere. Kids are busy in shopping for different kinds of firecrackers. Everyone gets a haircut before the New Year. So everything and everyone looks new and fresh on the New Year. My mother buy red T-shirt for everybody and I do unwilling to wear it (because a red packet from my mother).
New Year's Eve is the time for families. The New Year Eve's dinner is the biggest dinner of the year, much like Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner is full of symbolic meaning, such as Chinese dumplings implying wealth since they have the shape of ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots. Everyone, even kids, drinks a little Jiu (usually hard liquor), which symbolizes longevity since Jiu has the same pronunciation as longevity in Chinese people. Then the family chats while watching program TV shows or listening to radio together until the coming of the New Year. In Thailand, the program TV shows have been prepared for New Year of Chinese-Thai people at China town.
Firecrackers
Firecrackers are set off as soon as the New Year arrives. You can hear or see firecrackers everywhere and this usually lasts for a few hours. Some people will continue to play firecrackers occasionally through out the first half of the first month. Traditionally fireworks are the sign of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new. Fireworks are now banned in China, so this tradition is history but in Thailand, it is very popular.
A Red Packets
Giving “Hongbao” or a red packet during Chinese New Year is another tradition. A Red packet is simply a red envelope with money in it, which symbolizes luck and wealth. Red packets are typically handed out to younger generation by their parents, grand parents, relatives, and even close neighbors and friends. For this year, I get money less than when year ago. My older sister, she does work but she doesn’t give money to me. I feel so sadly… (T-T)
New Year Greetings
Chinese New Year is also the time for socializing. People usually wear new clothes and go out to visit and greet their relatives and friends, so the streets are filled with a lot of cheerful people (Can look at China Town).The greetings and visiting can go on for a few days. I and my family go to visit my grand mother at her home because she can’t come to party new year. She is 86 years old. So she is very old until she can’t stand or sit a long time.
Dragon and Lion Dancing
Dragon and Lion dancing are another tradition of Chinese New Year.
Lantern Festival
Lantern Festival is on the 15th of the first month of Chinese New Year, which marks the end of the New Year celebrations. It is the time for family reunion again. Lantern Festival is also a kind of cake, which looks like a table tennis ball (a little smaller) made of sticky rice with sweet stuffing inside. Everyone eats a few on Lantern Festival, which symbolizes family will stick together.

The freedom of the press in Thailand
If you may heart some new information from media, radio, newspaper and etc. the press in Thailand give the in formation about the society, the economy, the polities and etc. in Thailand. The present Thailand is how. The press will to present everything. Where do you know the information from…? Sometime, the most important of information may be disappear or misrepresent the information. So, I want to tell the details of press get to the threatening, the intimidating and intervene from what factor.
At all, begin from the authorized person and the person has money. The press usually give the truth information or add a little bit some information and to make people to follow up. But sometimes, the authorized person and the person have money want to keep secret for the press can’t misrepresent the information to the people. Authorized person and the person has money do that for protect themselves from dangerous by break the press for example authorized person in the government enact a law punishment that program television, radio station and newspaper have danger to themselves
From all reason, the press has on freedom to notify truth information and information that people want to know. The press can’t to raise a question to government because authorized person and the person has money control the press. I think, it deprive of people that want to know information. So, the information that people receive shouldn’t believe only group, must to believe first group 45% and second group 45% and more use wisdom and experience to analyze that information before decide about information.
