The Necessity of Boredom

The life is full of interesting things, but it is unavoidable for us to have the boring time. However, although we feel bored and listless, we usually get the heartfelt experience from the boring time. For example, on the long way home we are often lost in thought; when we take the airplane, we think of our home suddenly. These long solitude moments usually make our trip more memorable and meaningful.
However, a greater number of modern people like to use portable equipment to pass the time, such as iPod, mobile phone, NDSL.
Have we ever thought that we lost how many beautiful things when we use the computer, iPod or something else in the car? As a matter of fact, our real character is shown in the most boring time. Most animals are busy rushing about survival; therefore, leisure is luxury goods in our life.
Though some people have nothing to do when they are in the boring time, others don’t react to the world, and turn to find out the inner life. We often have a lot of new ideas in this time of self-examination. Maybe we have the new experience of relationship or the scientific truth.
Does the meaningful life depend on achievement? We describe the boredom as the dull glace or void in the usual way. Actually, a lot of people believe that the base of art, literature, philosophy, science and love comes from the feeling of boredom.

Wandering Away

Did you have any experience of losing your way? When I was about seven years old, my mother took my younger brother and me to the night market. Because my brother was just a baby, my mother had to hold him in her arms; therefore, the only thing I could do was keeping pace with her. In the night market there were a lot of peddlers. I was full of curiosity, because they were all so exciting since I had never seen such people before. I walked unconsciously faster and faster. When I was back to myself, I found I had loosened my mother’s grip. I did not know how long it had passed. I was anxious to know what happened so I recalled carefully. Apparently, I lost my way in the branch road. How could I get lost in such a small night market? I attributed it to the congestion of the place, as the street was crowded with people. When I found that I was lost, I began to scream out and started running around with panic. During this moment, I heard other people said "Don't get lost" in whisper. Fortunately, my mother found me eventually. She looked happy but scolded me for my mistake. As is mentioned above, I learned a good lesson from this incident. But after this event, I am afraid of walking a long way ahead of others when walking with my family and friends.

The Bad Influence of Online Games

How long do you sit in front of the computer every day? One hour? Two hours? Maybe a lot of people use the computer for a long time for homework, business or something else, but I don’t think that everyone use the computer just for work. In fact, I think that many people use the computer day and night for online games. I think playing online games is one of bad habits. It has a lot of disadvantages, and it’s like smoking and gambling. First, when you play the computer for a long time, your eyesight will become worse. Second, many online games cost money. Therefore, the more games you play, the more money you pay. Next, it’s like drinking alcohol. I have a friend who spent his whole time playing online games, and no one can stop him. Finally, the report says if a person usually plays online games, he will lose his social ability. In conclusion, I don’t find any good aspect of online games. In fact, I think the online game is a boring entertainment.

My Sister

My sister is almost as interesting as her appearance. Her curly black short hair reaches to her ears. Her skin is purely white, but it doesn’t mean she is a beauty. It usually looks like a dreadfully pale face. She has a small mouth, a pug nose and her big black plastic glasses surround her eyes like two dark circles. You may think that her feature is funny at first sight; but you will know how adorable she is and you can always see a smile on her face no matter what she suffers from. Her smile likes sunshine that warms everybody’s heart. Her optimism is like that of a child. If you get along with her, you can lift your bad emotion fast. I am older than she but shorter than she; therefore, many people think that she is my older sister. Though she does not like to be called “Older sister”, she is really like my older sister. She did not only listen to me carefully but also help me to solve a lot of problems when I fell into isolation and helplessness. In my mind, she is the cutest girl in the world. As the saying goes, “That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful.”
