How to set up a personal computer

If you want to set up a personal computer on your own, you can follow the steps below. First, decide the main function of the computer, like surfing the internet, printing pictures, or playing games. Second, decide what kind of hardware and software to buy. If you want to print pictures, a printer is needed. If you want to fix photos, Photoshop is necessary. Third, search the internet and find the cheapest store. Then, add the price of all components and software from the internet. After that, decide your total budget for the PC. Compare the sum price and your budget. If the price is more than your total budget, you must decide which component is less important and cut the budget of that component. For next, you must withdraw the cash from an ATM. In Taiwan, it is tax free if you buy a 3C product with cash. Next, drive to the store and buy what you want. When you come home, connect every component and test all hardware. After that, install the software and make sure that the system and software are stable. If the system is stable, set up the other hardware like printer, webcam, scanner. If something is wrong, find out the cause, take the broken component to the store, and change it for a new component. Finally, turn on your speaker, play the music, execute the browser, and enjoy your new computer. Setting up your own PC is not difficult and is interesting. It is also cheaper than the brand PC like DELL or HP.

What I am thankful for in my life.

I am very thankful for my family, especially for my parents, wife, and father in low.
First, I want to thank to my parents. In my country, it is very common that parents hit the children when they are making trouble. But my parents never hit me since I was born. They also give me all the things as much as they can and support my decision silently even if I am grown up.
I also need to thank for my wife. She is a very nice, considerate, mild person. She bears a lot of my bad habits. She also bore a child for my family and raised my son alone now. That’s very tough job because my son is just 10 month old.
Another person I want to thank is my father in low. He is a CEO of one company. He teaches me many skills about how to deal with the thing. And now he also helps my wife to care my son.
I am thirty one years old, but now I just a student. I don’t make money for my family. Nevertheless, all my families encourage me to finish my study and give me the support. I very appreciate that they are my family.

Dream job

A dream job for me is that not only fit my interesting but also make good salary. I have been to being a captain of an airplane since I was a child. If I am a captain, I can travel to different country, visit different people and varied scenery and I also have good salary.
The most important reason I want to be a captain is that I like visit different country. You can visit many different countries if you are a captain. Today, you start your job in Taiwan; tomorrow, you come off work in L.A. You can visit Las Vegas, Long Beach, Hollywood. Three days later, when you arrive to the London. You can visit Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and the Tower of London. If I am a captain, I’ll have many incredible experiences when flying to different countries.
Second reason, I also like make friends from different countries. Because the language in every countries are different, I can learn lots kinds of language from my overseas friends. I think it will be very interesting if I can say “thanks” in six languages. Every countries’ culture are also different. For example, the people in Western are more open minded than Chinese. I think that is advantage and I also want to learn. If I am a captain, it will be very easy for me to see different culture and learn the advantage.
The last reason, the good salary, is also the important reason why captain is the dream job for me. Captain has good pay and you haven’t work every weekday. You will have many times to have trip and don’t care about that you will run out of your money very quickly. Another advantage is that you can travel around the world and the company must pay you money. Your family can also get discount when taking the airplane if you are captain.
I want to be a captain since the first time I went abroad in seven years old. Although I can’t achieve my dream but now I can study abroad. I can also visit beautiful scene in other countries and make friends with foreigner. Maybe I will try to be a captain if my English is good enough in the future.

What are the characteristics of a good leader? Give reasons and examples to support your responses.

I think a good leader must have characteristics like organization, motivation, accommodation.

A leader must manage more thing and people than normal workers. For example, if one company’s leader whose organize ability is not good. He will not arrange the daily works order well like hold meeting with his subordinate, report the schedule progress to his boss, research the new product for the future, even attend the welcome party after come off work. In general situation, a leader will have many things to deal at the same time. He must have good organization ability in order to process everything well at the same time.

The second characteristic of leader is that he must motivation. Because the leader is the man who needs to lead other people to face challenges. He must not afraid of challenges and encourage everyone to face it, even the situation is bad. For example, if a main pitcher of a baseball team got hurt. The leader of the team – captain must find appropriate alternate people and tell the main pitcher and team members that everything will be all right.


The third characteristic of leader - accommodation is also important. Because one function of the leader is to solve everyone’s problems, a good leader must glad to help other peoples. If he doesn’t care about his subordinate’s problem and just deal with his own things. His subordinate will not admire him and deal the thing not seriously. It will influence the centripetal force of the team.

A good leader must have characteristics like organization, motivation, accommodation in order to deal everything well and also make the team members to have the same belief.
