Does it matter what strangers think of you? Do you care if everyone likes you or are you content just being yourself? Write a paragraph explaining your answer.
For me, it doesn't matter what strangers think of me. I don't want to change whenever I meet strangers or I have to change to please them. It seems artificial. I like being myself. Of course I always listen to what people think or complain about me and give me advice. Anyway, I think if I live kindly, honestly with others, I don't have to worry or care what people think about me. They can think or say whatever they want, those are their rights. To sum up, I don't care what strangers think of me, I just want to live a life which is correct and comfortable.

Please post your pictures from the ALP Halloween party. Summarize the night and tell me what I missed!
On last Saturday, ALP students and I had a wonderful Halloween party. I came late that night. When I arrived, there were a lot of people inside. I had no idea about costumes, so I just wore casual clothes, and I worried about that. When my friend told me that some people didn't have costumes like me, I felt better. Then I got inside the pub. A lot of students were there, but the pub was so small. I saw my classmates and other friends, some wore impressive costumes and some just made up their faces. Most of them were so impressive, especially Carol, I was surprised when looking at her face. I also saw many ALP teachers. The DJ had good music. At first, he played dance music. After that, he changed into hip-hop. We danced and took pictures constantly. Every one looked so excited. Now I know new things about Halloween. If I was invited to any Halloween party next year, I would dress up to make it more interesting.

One full moon night in the rainy season, a man who lived in an apartment on the 13th floor felt alone and bored. His apartment had lost electricity because of the thunderstorm. Therefore, he held a candle in his hand and then put it on the table. Suddenly, the window was opened by the wind. Then he tried to close the window. At that moment, he looked at the opposite building, and he saw a woman who was dancing. However, he couldn’t see her clearly because there was the heavy rain. Strangely, he didn’t see her again until the next full moon, and she was still dancing. She wore a white dress, and she danced like a butterfly. He fell in love with her and really wanted to meet her. In the next morning, he went to her apartment, but no one answered the door. Next time when he saw her in full moon night again, he ran to her apartment immediately. He knocked on the door, and he waited for her. A few minutes later, he knocked again, and the door opened slowly. He went inside slowly and saw a dirty room with old furniture and many spider webs. The room smelled disgusting. When he walked into the room where she was dancing, he couldn’t believe his eyes. There was an empty room except for a noose swinging back and forth by the wind.

I am going to Las Vegas this weekend. If you were going to Las Vegas, where would you go and what would you do? Lastly, do you have any suggestions on how I can win a lot of money? Which games do you like to play?
Las Vegas is such a beautiful place to visit. I have been there two times. That's why I won't go to Las Vegas with ALP next month. But if I went, I would visit the hotels there. Every hotel has its own architecture, very specific and magnificent. For example, Lexor has a pyramidal in shape while Excalibur looks like a huge castle. I would like to walk and take pictures at all hotels in Las Vegas. They are so beautiful. In Las Vegas, I could also see Eiffel tower or Statue of Liberty as I were visiting Paris or New York. Casinos in Las Vegas are unmissed places when visiting Las Vegas. However, I am not over 21 so that I can't play in any casino. Also, I don't like spending money on playing at casinos. It is so wasteful. We should save money to do other things which are more necessary.

Compare and contrast two sports.
The Differences Between Table tennis and Tennis
Although tennis and table tennis are sports in which two or four people hit a ball back and forth to each other, there are quite a few differences. The first difference is the equipment. Players have rackets in table tennis while stringed rackets is used in tennis. Table tennis games take place on a table divided by a net whereas tennis is played on a rectangular, flat surface, usually grass or a hard court. The ball used in table tennis is very small, about 2 – 3 gram, made of plastic, and colored white or orange. Tennis, however, requires a rubber ball. The second difference between table tennis and tennis is the rules of the games. In table tennis, players allow a ball played towards them only one bounce on their sides of the table and return it so that it bounces on the opponent's side. Any hitting of the ball must be done such that the ball passes over the net. If the ball is strucked such that it travels around the net, but still lands on the opponent's side of the table, the hit is recognizable and the play is continued. If the opponent cannot return it over the net and make it bounce on your side, then you win the point. The players have to have quick reactions. In a tennis game, there are many rules. One player starts behind his baseline, between the center mark and the sideline. The receiver may start anywhere on their side of the net. When the receiver is ready, the opponent will serve, the receiver must play according to the speed of the opponent. Table tennis now is one of the favorite sports in Asian countries, especially in China. Also, tennis has attracted millions of people around the world in various tournaments such as Wimbledon in Europe.

It talked about a parrot named Peanut that saved a family from a fire. A man-Shannon Conwell and his son fell asleep, so they didn't know their home on a fire. Fortunately, this parrot imitated fire alarm, he was screaming his head off and caught the man's attention. They were such lucky people because if they had slept in their bedrooms, they wouldn't have heard the parrot or the alarm.
