Playing A Wii and Paying A Real Sport
However, the Wii video game is different because people can only play their games on a Television. They use remote controls to play the game and they play against the computer. People play their Wii at home and they can pich any team they want . they use controllers to control their team against their opponents. People can play Wii whenever they want to play. The Wii video game is available to anybody including elders. Sometimes people play this game even when they are sick. This game give people a lot of fun and happiness. People can use thei Wii to exercises at home, but they do not use as much energy as playing a real sport. Playing a Wii is different than playing a real sport. Players have to put extra effort to play a real sport because it is their career. However, people play their Wii to entertain their lives because they want to enjoy life.

The Differences between My Sister and I
However I am absolutely different than my sister. One, I am very stubborn and shy. When I was studying at high school I always skipped school; my grades were always lower than my sister’s. When I was at home I liked to be alone in my room. Furthermore, I did not like to read a book because it has too many words. I would rather interact with people than read a book. I would rather go out with friends instead of reading a book. Moreover I like to exercise so I would usually go to a club on the weekend to dance. I would also do a lot of walking during the weekdays. Even though my sister and I are related and we were raised in the same environment, we have very different personalities, interests and hobbies.

Country Living to City Living
However, living in a country side is different. First, Housing costs are cheaper and affordable. People can buy a new big house with a big property as same as buying an old tiny townhouse in a city. A country side area has many farms and factories. On the other hand, there are not many jobs offer in this area. People usually travel to the city where it has more jobs offered to get a job. Unlike people who live in a city, people who live in this country area does not get enough service. There are not many shopping malls in this area, so people in this area have to take a long trip to shop. Also the area does not have any high speed internet yet. Furthermore, country side area doesn’t have anyhospital. When these residents need to go to a hospital, they have to travel to the city. Finally, residents of this country side area get less pollution. This area is usually cleaned and quiet, so the people are usually very healthy. As a result, there are more and more retired people choose to live in a country side area.

The Influence of Toys on Children
In my own life, I have many “social, interactive” toys when I was a child. Most of my toys are cooking toys such as a stove, a pot, a frying pan, some bowls and cups. I used to play with the toys by myself; I made my own conversation. I talked and taught myself on how to cook and clean. This is the reason how I can cook well. My mom gave those toys for me because she want me to be a good cook?. However, I never play any kind of “task oriented” toys. This is because I don’t like them. I think that those “task oriented” toys are for boys not for girls. girls should not play with those toys. But now that I read this article, I start to wonder if I was wrong?

A Crazy Fad in Vietnam
About twenty years ago, many Vietnamese women believed in a crazy fad. They believed in a chemical called Silicone. These women used to go to a special doctor (plastic surgeon) to get the skin of their hands wrinkle free and smooth by the silicone injections. At that time, the plastic surgeons made a huge profit because they had many patients. These doctors injected silicone into a patient’s hands, so that the chemical made the patient’s skin tighten in order to look beautiful. This crazy fad quickly influenced many other women. They thought that silicone had magic power; therefore, more and more women tried to get that chemical injection. This fad did not last very long, because women who had this treatment done were getting cancer in their hands. There was an expert who found out that silicone was the cause of cancer. They informed the public about the problems that was coming from the silicone. Women realized the problems caused by the silicone and no longer wanted this treatment. This treatment which was very popular when it was first available suddenly was very unpopular. Now, no Vietnamese women get this treatment anymore and they think that it was a crazy fad.

2010 olympics - 500m short track speed skating on Feb 26th, 2010 at Pacific Coliseum
The most memorable moment of the 2010 Olympics for me occurred on February 26th. In the early morning, my husband, Craig, and I went downtown. We viewed the torch and walked all around downtown. Then we headed down to the Pacific Coliseum. The event we watched was the short track 500m and 1000m speed skating. We also watched the 5000m speed skating relay. It was a great experience to be there. Canada won 2 gold medals and 1 bronze. I will remember this event for the rest of my life, and I was so happy to be invited to this event.
