Analytical Essay - What should I major in?

I remembered that the first book I have read since I can read is a book about human digestive system. The book told me how food is digested in my body. It is an interesting book that teaches me knowledge that I am always curious in since I was small. To discover how human is structured and how the world is formed have always be my biggest interest. When I have to make decision on what should I major in, I would like to have applied biology as my major for further study. It is hoped that I may study in the area that I am most interested in.

To me, I think that patience, attentiveness and perseverance are the triangle of being a scientist. Without any of them, you may not be able to be a scientist. These three elements are at equal importance in doing experiments. If one of them is missing, it is fatal to us when we are doing experiments.

Accidents are always happened when people do not take notices on small stuff. Being attentive is essential in doing experiments. A little single abnormal reaction may lead to unexpected tragedy. We must keep an eye on the experiment once it is start. Even though it may take a long time to complete an experiment, we must stay patient. If we have a rush mind when we are performing experiments, errors may involved. And these errors maybe fatal. We will face failures in performing experiments. Results may not fit our expectations, and it may upset us. But we should not be stopped by failures. We have to figure out reasons led to failures and keep making improvements on the experiments so as to reach success.

I have been learning piano for about twelve years. Through these years of training, characters like being patient, attentive and perseverance have been well trained up. I believed that these characters do help me to study in science area. Besides, I am a science stream student since secondary four. Through these years of studying, I have a scientific mind that helps me to further study in science area.

After studying biology in the first semester, the interest towards biology has been raised a lot. I would like to further study in this area. To learn more about the microbes, animals, our body structures, and the world’s ecosystem. I am fascinated in all these. I hope that I can have a chance to study in applied biology for studying these interesting topics. And find out more fascinating face of biology.

When I finish my study in University, I would like to be a teacher teaching biology. I am always helpful and have a passion in transferring knowledge to peers and younger generations. Being a teacher have to bear lots of responsibilities. Maybe it is a tough career, it is hoped that I am able to let the younger generations to discover the interesting part of biology and be a knowledgeable person.

It is hoped that I can choose applied biology as my major. Biology is an amazing area. Through studying of biology, I am able to know more about ourselves as well as our world. Actually, lots of nowadays technology is based on the discovery of biology. It is hoped that I can further study biology in the coming years. 

Descriptive essay - Seoul

South Korea is well-known for its entertainment products like K-Pop, dramas and video games. Seoul, as the capital and largest metropolis of South Korea, it is a place full of glories. It is the 4^th largest metropolitan economy after Tokyo, New York and Los Angeles. In 2010, Seoul was named as the World Design Capital and its Human Development index ranked 13 along the globe.

In this digital age, people are addicted to the electronic inventions. Samsung, an electronic gadgets company which owned the 3^rd largest group of users among the world was originated in Seoul. Actually, LG, another world-known cell phone producer is also originated in Seoul. At the same time, video games invented in Seoul own the 3^rd largest group of users among the world. Do you know why this city has such sound results in the digital area? In fact, The South Korea government invests half billion Won to the digital area each year. The government is now constructing a Wi-Fi network in the out-door spaces, access at 10,430 parks, streets, and other public spaces. The whole construction costs in total of 6 billion Won. With this huge Wi-Fi network, it makes Seoul more ‘traveler-friendly’. Tourists are able to access to the internet for sharing happiness to their friends and family.

Seoul was voted to be the world most wanted travel destination by Chinese, Japanese and Thai tourists for 3 consecutive years (Year of 2010, 2011 and 2012). 63.2% of the country’s GDP comes from its retail business. It shows that tourism holds the key of the country’s economy. But, why people are so devoted to travel to this place?

I believed that it is due to the influence of Hallyu. Maybe you will wonder what Hallyu is. It is talking about the popular music and dramas made in South Korea. Fans of Hallyu can understand culture of South Korea through the products of Hallyu. Some of them will even go to learn Korea for the sake of convenience when they are watching the K-dramas. Devotees of K-dramas want to visit those places where the characters meet and live. Fans of K-Pop stars want to travel to Seoul to see whether they are fortunate to meet their idols in Seoul. All these are the reasons that why the devotees of Hallyu are so eager to travel to Seoul.

Other than the power of Hallyu, I believe that Seoul gets other charisma to attract tourists. Seoul, as a leading and rapidly rising global city, it has a smart and digital image. It is hard to put the ‘old’ tag on it. However, this city owns 4 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and it is home to more than 100 museums. You are able to find museums with different themes easily in Seoul. Amazingly, different from those heritage sites and museums in Hong Kong, those in Seoul are always filled with people. Not only travelers, but with the Koreans.

And, shopping is always the reason for ladies to go travelling. There are quite a number of beauty brands that are originated in Seoul. Usually, you are able to buy their products with a lower price in Seoul. At the same time, Korean clothing fashion is popular among the young’s. Teenagers love to go to the boutiques to purchase Korean fashion items. They are cheap but with high quality. These attract tourists to put Seoul on their list of traveling.

Attitude of the locals plays an important role in affecting tourists’ impression towards the country. In my memories, Koreans are often energetic, friendly and polite. It is glad that you can find ways to travel to your destination by asking strangers on streets in foreign countries. Koreans are so willing to offer a helping hand to me when I got lost in Seoul. I am thankful to them.

Seoul is a place where it worth people to travel to. It is a warm and beautiful place that full of dreams and miracle.
