The fascunated place-Hualien

I had a great time with my children in Hualien County in the middle of April this year. That is a good place where deserve we visit and there are so many scenic spots to see.

It is in the East Coast of Taiwan, fascinated by its beautiful scenery. East Rift Valley Scenic Area and Yushan National Park make Hualien the most beautiful county in Taiwan. The variety of the hot springs areas is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Hualien. The famous hot springs are as in East Rift Valley Hualien County is fortunately equipped with such a treasure. It has always been the holiday resort for every visitor. In the Valley, the natural scenery is beautiful, the residents fare gracious and the environment is pure and unpolluted. With a unique natural and cultural scenery, the Valley is abundant in the tourists recreation resources. Along the country road, pastoral outlook is enchanting.

The locals in Hualien County depend on tourism for making their living, such as home stay, shop owner and tourism site employee. However, tourism can also have a negative impact on this area. Actually, the tourist income tax couldn’t give the benefit directly to the locals and maybe it flow into big businesses. They need to find a compromise that will preserve the tourist income tax with them.

In addition, the Coast is rich in the marine ecology. Whale watching is an interesting activity and gives a fantastic impression for many visitors. Whale watching is worried about the impact the life of whale. Some captains change the direction or reduce the speed suddenly when they cross the whale by ship. And if they want to chase the whale, they speed up or cross them tightly. These behaviors possibly affect the whale living environment. I think some captains should observe the stipulation which protect the creature in the ocean.

When you catch a cold

Catching a cold is a painful experience. You may feel dizzy, have a runny nose, or cough all the time. Even worse, you may run a fever and feel sore all over. There isn’t much you can do when catch a cold.

One of my colleagues thinks that she doesn’t want to take a mask due to it made her uncomfortable even she has been coughing for two weeks. In my opinion, if you take a mask that is protect yourself and the others. And my advice is that you should stop what you are doing and go see a doctor immediately. Once you back home, you should lie in bed and get a good rest. To sum up, there isn’t much you can do when you catch a cold until it goes away.

The advantages and disadvantages of working part-time

Working part-time job has its disadvantages and advantages. The advantage is that you can earn extra money and pay for things on your own. In addition, you can get valuable experience by working in real world. Many students have part-time jobs nowadays to earn their pocket money as well as get experience working.

The disadvantages of working part-time is that it might take away the time you would spend with your families or friends and studying. If you work during your spare time, you will reduce the study time after school. In my past experience, I spent much time on part-time job so that my study wasn’t very well and I found I didn’t get enough knowledge at my studies. So if the job get in the way of your families and studies, you should adjust the time or look for one that has a regular time or not too tired to affect your daily schedule.
