been thinking about the value of life. Recently I asked some companions at dinner how they wanted to be remembered.

The topic for my speech is where you would like to live ──in the city or in the countryside? I think I am the very person to offer the answer because I used to live in the countryside and I am now living in the city. So it’s easy for me to make a comparison. As the saying goes‚ every coin has two sides. When you hear this question you may be aware that there are advantages and disadvantages of living in either place. What’s good about living in the city? First‚ it’s very convenient. You don’t have

In my revised review of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life‚ I made several major changes primarily related to revival culture. The first change I made was using Fuller House and Girl Meets World as specific examples for failed revivals in the third paragraph.

The majority of us‚ I’m sure‚ don’t like the way the school handled the schedule‚ the food we had for lunch‚ or the teachers

However‚ my parents really never talk about my ancestors so I would not know whether the facts were true or not. The most I know about them is that we have days where we would “lay food out for them” to celebrate their birthday and whatnots. My family could technically
