It Is Okay to Lie

I think you can tell lie in some circumstances. The first of all, you can tell lie to help someone. Example, my friend has emergency and he need help. At that time, I do not have time so I have a lot of thing to do but I can arrange all things. So I told him, I had time to help him. I think I told lie but that is ok.

Does it matter what strangers think of you?

I don’t care about stranger’s thinking of me that it doesn’t matter. The first reason, I think the stranger is a person whom they do not influence about my life. So I do not care about them. The second reason, if you care about stranger, you can not have decision by yourself. Sometimes, you want to do some things but stranger tell that you do not do them. And you will be confused when you care about that. Finally, you feel that is correct, you can do it. You do not need to care anything. I think there are many bad people around your life so they can give you a wrong advice. You do not think about that. To sum up, it does not matter what strangers think of me.

One Storming Night

A young couple lived in a small Northeastern city. The wife worked for a technical company far away from home and she usually got home after dusk. It was a stormy day. The rain had been falling really hard most of the day. Some electric poles had been broken down by the heavy rain and wind. The husband got home around 5pm and prepared dinner as usual. He expected his wife to get home around 8pm like she always did. From the kitchen, he could hear the noise from her footsteps. He called out his wife’s name but didn’t get any response. He went outside and looked but nobody was there. When he came back, his wife was sitting on the sofa. The dinner started out like every other dinner. One thing that was different from this dinner was that she didn’t talk at all. He thought she must have been very tired from a long day at work. He was angry, but he decided to forget about it and go to bed early. They went to the bed after the quick meal. It was raining very hard outside and the room was completely dark. He almost fell asleep, but he could still feel his wife’s touch. It was so cold when she touched him. Her hand felt like ice. He decided to hold her to keep her warm. However, the wife’s body felt very wet. He wondered why her body was so wet. He just thought she went out into the rain after the meal. When he woke up next day, he quickly went into the bathroom. Then he turned on the radio to listen news in the morning. Suddenly, he heard there was an accident last night and one woman died. The woman who died had the same name as his wife! He ran into the bedroom and he couldn’t believe his eyes. The place where she slept was empty. There was just a pile of blood.

LASVEGAS

Las Vegas is an interesting place and a city that never sleeps in the US. I visited Las Vegas one time when I just came to the US. Las Vegas also is a city that is built on the desert. There are many beautiful hotels in Las Vegas because a lot of people want to visit there and they can stay these hotels. Las Vegas is famous with a lot of casinos that is interesting place to visit and to play gamble. Another thing, Las Vegas has Eiffel tower and Statue of Liberty as you see them in Paris, New York. When I went to Las Vegas, I went around downtown by bus and taxi. After that, I walk to some beautiful places to take picture. I saw Water War as that happened in universal. I also tried to play gamble “let it rice” one time to know it in Las Vegas. Lucky to me, I won it and got $1000 but I think I will not be lucky again. So, I stopped it and went out to go many places. In the evening, Las Vegas is so beautiful with a lot of light on the street and anywhere such as hotel, casino, etc. to sum up, Las Vegas is a beautiful and interesting place that you should visit at least one time when you come to the US.
