Topic #3: Popularity, Accomplishment, or Organization?

     In my opinion, popularity is a state of being accepted by people around me. The reason why I choose this because I want to socialize with others, I can help and be helped by others.
     Being popular would give me a lot of chances to be myself which means, in this case, being able to build a network. Why do I want to socialize with others? Because I have found out that I could not do anything unless I have interaction with people. I want to help people, I can’t stand seeing people suffered from their sadness, failure, disappointment, etc.; also, I can’t bear suffering from being in a bad mood. I am afraid of being lonely. Therefore, I need to socialize myself. Another reason is because I want to meet and work with various individuals; enriching my experience in group-working. I will feel familiar with greeting new persons. I think it will help me a lot in my future.

     One scientist said that people seemed to be more productive when they got along with others. It’s right, at least in my case. That’s why popularity is the most important to me.

Topic #2: Time Travel

Time Travel
     Waiting for bus and looking at the traffic, talking people, ringing cellphone, several palm trees, not a bird,... what an uncomfortable desert atmosphere in this city. I really wanted to escape from this reality. While I was sitting under the intensive sunlight in the afternoon, thought about my homework if I had a time machine, what would I do... Kept thinking thinking... thi..nk...
     Vroommmm, the loudly voice of the engine, opened my eyes with the ice surrounding and freezing air, people were dancing in the loincloths around the fire. Luckily, the machine changed my clothes into loincloths like them, I wanted to join them. After the dance, they gave me a big crunchy aromatic meat with a cup of pure and hot water. I instantly gulped my meal without paying attention to anything. Just one last bite then my meal would be done, but it was so noisy outside, I came out and my mouth was frozen because of the stunning sight - A trained mammoth, it seemed angry with the ropes surround its body. Someone asked me to join the trip, my legs were immobolized because I was so scared; however, I overcame it within thirty seconds. After taking a deep breath, I was finally on the back of the mammoth. Up here, everything was clear as if I was on top of the world. Suddently, with a few steps, the ice cracked below us, the mammoth was running in the panic and slided into the dark hole with the extremspeed, we all screamed out loud...Screech... the bus tires are screeching, I woke up in panic, my body was all sweaty and hold the bottle of water really tight. Fortunately it was just a dream... but an interesting dream.
     Now, I think I have the answers for my favorite teacher, If I could go back in time I would go to the Pliocene era to see and ride on a mammoth "one more time". And when I read the question if I want to alter anything about our history - mother of present and future. There's not a thing that I would change, because nature is amazing just the way it is.
