How Can We Fight Injustice?

As the proverb says, "The pen is mightier than the sword." I really agree with this statement, especially when I live in a high technology world with computers and the Internet. There are many injustice on the world that we cannot solve (global poverty etc.), but we still can express our ideas by speaking or writing out our ideas. To me, I think works both spoken by mouth and written by hand are both very powerful. People can publish their works by blogs, newspaper, television, radio, or magazines. These are all common "places" that people constantly visits. Most people orders newspaper and watch television everyday; some listen to radios when they are the car; many read the magazines monthly, weekly, or even daily. These are all very power sources that can provide people to publish their work. However, among all of them, I think the best way to let people notice your work is to publish on the Internet so every person in the world can look at it and know what you want to say. Although this may not solve the problems, it still can let your thoughts be noticed.

Apollo Landing Rewrite

On July 21, 1969, Apollo II successfully landed on the Moon. It is the first manned space mission to land on a planet! This is so amazing. The space shuttle launched from Kennedy Space Center, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins into orbit. They are all lucky guys to go to the Moon. On June 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed their small lunar module in the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong then made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke the famous line, "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." Over 600 million people stared at the television and witnessed the event. Armstrong and Aldrin marked their great achievement by planting an American flag in the soil, which is great decision. American became the first human to step on to the Moon and our flag is also the first flag being planted on the Moon! Before they returned to their shuttle, the astronauts installed a plaque that bore the signatures of each astronaut and President Richard Nixon, along with an inscription. The inscription read, "Here Men From Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind."

Why keep a diary?

To me, to keep a diary is to keep my memories. When I was small, my mother used to force me to keep a diary in English so that I can practice how to write in English. However, because I really don't know what to write, I wrote "I am happy today." everyday. Now, when I look through what I wrote, I felt really funny and recalled my feelings when I was writing the "diary" When I was in middle school, I kept a habit of keeping a schedule book. Although it is not a diary, I almost wrote down what I did everyday. And now, when I flip through the books, I can recall what I did in that year, in that month, and at that day. I don't know what the purpose of writing a diary is when I was small, so writing a diary is a painful thing to me. Now, because I found fun looking through what I wrote, I know that the purpose of writing a diary is to keep my good memories fresh, and I found fun writing it.
