“Compare/Contrast Paragraphs”
1.Thorne (1993) found a number of differences in the way boys and girls interact with their same-sex friends. Girls engage in more cooperative kinds of play, for example, jumping rope or practicing dance steps together. Girls also tend to say “Let’s …” or “Why don’t we…” to generate this play. Girls like to spend time with only one or two best friends. When there is conflict among friends, girls talk about the undesirable behavior of playmates behind their backs rather than to their faces. As a result, a conflict between girls can take a long time to be resolved. In contrast, boys engage in competitive rough-and-tumble play and physical fighting. Boys also like to appear tough by making verbal threats (for example, “I’m gonna punch you”). Boys tend more to hang around with a larger group of casual friends. Finally, boys are more direct and confrontational, so their conflicts are often over quite quickly.
2.There are many differences in the way teenage boys and girls socialize in China. In my opinion, boys are naughty, while girls are quieter. For example, when I am in China, boys always did some bad things at school, but girls were more quite than boys. Although boys and girls make mistakes together, teacher only give boys some punishment. On the other hand, if there are boys and girls in a family, boys are always bully girls, but girls are always take care of boys. All in all, girls and boys have different socialize.
3. The education background and goals of everybody is different. MengYuan wants to study accounting because she is interested in math. Anson wants to study art because he is interested in art. Both are them get to college in order to find a good job. And they are not going to continue study after they graduate from college. MengYuan was good at math in high school, while Anson was an expert in art. So, a right major is important
for each student.
"Peer Groups are Important"
In the journey of our life, we will meet many kinds of people, especially peer groups. As we know, teenagers spend more time in school, so we can find peer groups easily. People always tend to imitate other people whose around you.
What is a peer group? Peer group means people of the same age. The teenage peer group teaches its members some important things how to stick to your opinion, and how to get along with other people and values of friendship. The peer group often gets unusual culture and has different value. They care about each other more than parents.
I think the most significant idea in this article is that the peer group is both a positive and negative influence in our lives. I heard from my mother that when I was in a child care center, I spoke more loudly to my mother. She was so amazed because before that, I never spoke loudly to anybody. So perhaps I learned from other kids. Another example is about morals. One day, I took the bus with my friend. After a time, a very old woman was coming, but nobody wanted to give her a seat. At that moment, my friend stood up, and walked up to the woman and said, “Have a seat over there, please.” And then, the woman was happy and thankful. My friend told me she was happy to be able to help people. Since then, I have always helped others. I have one more example from when I came to America. If my classmates speak Chinese, I will also use Chinese to give them the answer. On the other hand, if my classmates always speak English, then I will also speak English. So the living environment determines our lifestyle.
In conclusion, the peer group is both a positive and negative influence in our lives. It’s important to our daily life. But whether it is good or bad depends on us. Since it is our choice, why not choose a good thing? Maybe your peer group can affect your lifetime.

"Hurricane Sandy"
Dear Cain,
How are you? I have something to tell you. As we know, disaster often happens during our life, especially natural disaster. Disaster can result in many social problems.
There was a terrible hurricane in the U.S, we named it "Sandy". Sandy was a very huge storm because it caused many kinds of issues. Sandy caused more than 70 deaths in the U.S. I heard that about 100 houses were burned, and many people lived in refuge. Some place was flooded, especially basements, because of Sandy, many bridges and tunnels were closed. At that time, many places had no power and water. I saw a powerline was broken because the trees were fallen down. Fortunately, I felt peace when Sandy was coming.
When I was in China, the city that I lived in was close to the sea. So, hurricane comes to my city every year, but most of the hurricanes are not serious. In my memory, there has been only a few serious hurricanes in my hometown.
I will tell you about what we can do when a hurricane is coming. Of course, staying at home is the best way to keep safe. Before the storm, we should follow the news. And then, you should make sure that the windows are protected, and be preparing enough water and food. During the storm, you should find a safe area in home. If you lose power, don't worry, turn off the main appliance switch. The most important thing that is you should stay at home. It's very dangerous if you go out during the storm because you will get hurt by any falling stuff! After storm, if you feel peace like me, that's good. But, you can call police if you and your house in dangerous, they can help you.
I wish you all the best.
Your friend.
