Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important than saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
It is very difficult to make a decision of saving the lives of endangered animals or starving people. Although we have destroyed many places in earth and cause invaluable animals facing terrible situation, we also have to know there are many hungering people in the world.
The people who want to survive in the cruel world, they must find anything they can get to make lives including cutting trees for fire to warm their home, fishing or hunting for food, and turning the forest into land for cultivating crops or building houses. This is the history of human. We can not question if our ancients' behaviors is right or not, because they need the resource for living.
However, the situation has totally changed when people use the natural resources too much and further, hurt the nature. In the present, we have more ways to make live, and few people have to fight with nature to survive. We need to stop and consider that what we do is right or not because today, there are many endangered animals which need our help and we did save them only if we give up our greed. For example, many Chinese people think the tusk of elephant is a kind of rare herbs, and therefore, there are many greedy businessmen and hunters killing many elephants in order to cut their teeth. However, the experts in Chinese herb tell us there are many herbs instead of the elephants' tusks.
In short, when we are going to develop some area, there are many researches and evaluations needed to do to know the effect of environment. Our modern world has owed the earth too much, and the damage done before is hard to repair. Only one thing we can do is preserve the world now.

I am hesitate about my future
For many people, future is unpredictable, so is mine. But I tried to plan it two years ago, and as an old ancestor said: you never know what will happen in next second. I have to change or adjust my plan now. I ever planed to study aboard just after I finish my military service; however my family has had financial problem when my grandfather tried to join-venture with other people and invested a company oversea. Having a company sounds like that I should not worried where my job will be, but the grandfather of mine is my mother's father; further, my mother does not want me to participate the company, because she thinks there are too many people want to get the bowl in "her family". However, the financial problem in the company forces my parents to mortgage my home to the bank to gather money. I say it more clearly. There maybe nowhere to stay within a year if we face the worst situation.
In my view, there is a way for me to struggle in the future, but I fear something I don't know. I find I feel panic when I am in an uncertain situation. When I am in panic that makes me perspire and feel shattered, I try to tell myself to be strong, confident, and calm down. I always pull myself together after having sweaty hands. I think it is some kinds of psychological disease or some challenges made by god to treat my ability to persevere with my dream and my idea.
In order to conquer the problem, I, as usual, adjust my plan. Each time I revise my plan to get the hand of changing environment I feel fidgety going to the next step. However, I know things change as moon waxing and waning. It is the time for me to take the responsibility of living. In the past, my parents had sacrificed too much for their children; now, I will find a job and make money while my brother serves his military service. There is no excuse to evade the problem. I feel more composed in my mind when writing to this sentence. Maybe it is someone divine tells me this is a right way.
I hope I will do something right in the future for my family and for my life. I can just live once in my whole life. At the meantime, I know direction I go and there is more crucial thing- dream is for people who don't act, and what I have is target which is based on a practical plan. All I need to follow is that executing the plan with my total vigor.

Imaging that you have received some land to use as you wish. How would you use this land?
The land is considered a valuable estate in our society. There are many usages for land, but the best way I think is for social benefit. However, people use land to achieve different goals depending on the scale of the land, so there are still other kinds of using the land including building a house for family and trading the land for money.
The most charitable way for using the land is to provide it for the society, in other words, to share the estate for everybody. In this way, the land could become a public school, a library or a park. All people in the community could take part of the benefit of the land. Although it seems to cost to achieve the accomplishment, what could compare with the happiness for other people?
If the land is not suited for the public usage, I hope to build a house for my family. Because I owe them too much, there is nothing could compensate them. I think the house may provide my a little compensation. Moreover, the old house my family now lives is too old to be comfortable; there are many broken parts around the house. Even the house is full of aged structure that may not be safe, my family still live there in that we have enough budgets to rebuild it. Therefore, I would gain the budget for sale some of the land, and build a brand new house for my family.
For the latest choice, that is, if the land is too small to be a public usage and a house, then I want to sell the land for money. By this way, I could gather more budget for other things. I could donate some of the money to charities or my future studying fund or the retire fund of my family. When I could not do one thing along, I hope there are some ways that I could give a hand.
In Chinese traditions, the land is the most reliable wealth because its amount is limited. I think there are still other good ways to use the land. No matter what the people do when they receive such expensive thing, that demonstrates people's consciousness.

How to conqur the devil in mind!!
As the index of stock market falls, the mind of each investor is complicated in that people always don't know what the bottom is. Is this the lowest point or just the midpoint? Although I also a common investor as everybody else, I have a thought. No matter what price you bought the stocks, you have to hold on your stocks unless the reasons are gone when buying them. However, most people are short-term investors; they want earn money from the difference between stock price. Furthermore, most of those use loans or leverage to create spectacular revenue. As long as the market is upward, their wallets are full all the time. Thus, on the other hand, they face big troubles with index plunging.
The sublime mortgage in United State has fired throughout the world. As someone ever said “as American sneezes, none could avoid cold.” Be a largest consumer market, based on the dollars, American's economy is not only a domestic problem but an international one. The bomb explodes and will cause a series of reactions in the world. Taiwan, as a country depending on international trade, should take very serious look at the sublime mortgage problem.
The stock market plunging these days reflects investors' weak psychology. Even if the mortgage problem does not affect Taiwan very deeply, people still sold their stocks crazily because they have uncertain information about Taiwan's competence. The only thing they know is the conflict between green and blue party. So far the candidates of both parties do not propose a pragmatic blueprint of Taiwan's economy. They seems to understand the hardness around society and the problems around the companies, but all they provide is old-fashion products which Taiwan people can easily debunk.
According to economic theories, stock market is an index of future, in other word, hope. A hope of people in Taiwan as well as country follows the stock market index. On the other side, the presidential candidate is also a hope of Taiwan in the following four years. If one of them can give people a proposal which makes people work together to create a vigorous Taiwan, I will give him my ticket no matter his color. But he must understand the word, “pragmatic”, because a check that can not be cashed will make people suspect the party's honest. After all their reputation will be like the index in the storm of the sublime mortgage.
