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.

Be careful of Over-the-phone fraud
If someone calls you up and tells you that you have won a great prize. At the same time, you should keep your mind to calm down. Due to no one wants to leak his personal or financial information to the wrong person.
Last year, a man named Jonny called and told me that I had won an overseas trip. I felt excited for a brief moment. I suspected it to be a lie. But since this is the first time someone has tried to defraud me I was curious to know what he said. He told me that I won a VIP discount card which was valid for life and vouchers for shopping with a total value of NT$100,000. But I had to pay for NT$5,000 to claim my prize. Everyone knows you don’t have to pay to claim a prize. I thank this was a catch, so I told him that I really want to pay this money and took them to their company in person. He didn’t say anything and hung up.
I think never give your credit card details out over the phone or online. We should record the whole conversation when the fraudster calling. And then hand it in to the police to track them down.

Convenience stores in Taiwan
There are many convenience stores in Taiwan. They spread every corner and let your life feel very convenient. In other countries, their 7-Eleven is only open from seven a.m. to eleven p.m., not twenty-four hours, and it is inconveniently located the town.
When you walk into the store, clerks will greet to you with loud “huan ying guand lin”(歡迎光臨) sound. You can find many kinds of food in convenience stores.

Keeping our roads safe
It is very important to feel safe driving or walking on the streets. But sometimes a few drivers break these rules if the police aren’t watching.
There are many traffic accidents in Taiwanese streets. Some people don’t follow the speed limit. With so much traffic it’s impossible to watch all the streets, but I think that using speed traps to watch for speeders is ineffective. I had ever seen the group of mothers angry about drunk driving. I think they have to crack down on drunk driving. Some drivers who drive crazy and they are too dangerous.
Now we have our own bike lane in most cities. They even close roads in downtown areas for a day to show nice it would be better without cars. You also can exercise and strengthen your body.

GM food
The continued advance of technology, people can change plants and animals. They also can make vegetables become bigger and taste better.
Many researcher try to find GM (genetically modifies) food might cause health and environmental problems. For instance, GM plants and animals could reproduce and spread, affecting other ones. Some countries have banned GM food, because some farmers want to increase their harvest, use pesticide on their crops. They think that there are big risks and may contain new allergens. But there are some people to support GM food, they think it also can be good for the environment. For example, insects will not eat GM food so that pesticides will be used less. In addition, we will use less land to grow plants, thereby protecting our forests.
Many people say that GM food should be labeled so that consumer can choose. In summary, GM food is whether or not changed the demand, consumer’s attitude are very important.
