lucky number

my friend mary was born on june 13th, 1977. she is always dissatisfied with her birthday because 13 is an evil number. there are lots of people who are convinced that good numbers bring good luck and bad numbers bring disasters. hence, 13, 4 and other socalled evil numbers are wiped off from cards, list, menus, etc. even in some cities, there is no bus 3 or 3 street.

i dont think numbers have anything to do with luck. numbers were created for counting. there is no relationship between a certain number and ones fate. there are many people who succeed in spite of close relationship with bad numbers. there are also a lot of people, who should have been blessed by lucky numbers, involved in accidents. take my friend mary for example. she achieved a good study at the nations most prestigious university and later gained good reputation in her career. her luck is not a bit damaged by her bad birthday.

in a word, numbers are numbers. they stand for nothing but quantity. numbers have nothing to do with luck.

on making friends

as a human being, one can hardly do without a friend. if we dont have a friend in the world, our life will not be interesting and we cannot live more happily.

but what is true friendship? true friendship can share happiness and sadness with you. a bad friend, on the other hand, only loves you when you are lucky and rich. when you become poor and powerless they will desert you. we all know, a friend in need is a friend indeed. so, we need to take the persons who are dedicated to the contribution of our relationship as our real friends.

i choose my friends only when they can share not only my happiness but also my sadness.

bicyclean important means of transport in china

china is called the kingdom of bicycles, because there are thousands of millions of bicycles in china and bicycles are the most important means of transport in china.

why are bicycles so popular in our country? on the one hand, its price fits for common peoples income. for example, we only pay three hundred yuan for a quite good bicycle. on the other hand, lots of people go out by bicycles to avoid traffic jam. so bicycles save time and money for chinese people. furthermore, riding bicycles recommends an effective way to keep fit for those who work in Offices and are lack of exercises.

many believe that cars are much better than bicycles because cars are far more comfortable, and cars travel much faster and quite a longer distance than bicycles. but cars cause serious pollution as well. according to the present traffic condition, cars often slow down in crowded cities. owning a car means spending a lot of money not only in buying it but also in keeping it. sometimes we cannot even afford expensive gasoline. at night, we have to find places to park our cars. compared with cars, bicycles are clean and cheap, convenient and easy to park.

following the high speed of the development of chinas economy, i think the number of bicycles may reduce, and that of cars may increase. but we must admit that a bicycle will still remain its important role in chinese peoples daily life because of its own advantages as well as chinas special national condition.

to communicate by letter or by telephone

in the modern times, there are many ways for people to communicate, among which are telephone calls and writing letters. some people prefer the former; others the latter.

compared with the telephone calls, i like letter writing better, because letter writing is mush more personal than the telephone. perhaps it is more practical and convenient to use the telephone in the business world, but you do need to write to some people who are intimate to you. on the one hand, when writing letters, you can take your time and fully express your ideas and feelings. in this way, you and

your friend will get closer emotionally. this can certainly not be achieved by using the telephone.

on the other hand, while people may soon forget what has been talked about on the phone, they can read letters again and again, enjoying the content as well as the everlasting friendship. one more advantage of letters is that they dont disturb them. if a letter is from someone you dont like, you can throw it away without being troubled in any way. unfortunately, the telephone is our enemy in this aspect.

in short, i think if you have time, it is better to write letters to friends than making telephone calls.
