How about try the 185 TWE topic? It will be helpful to those people who want to take TOEFL.

Sure! Why not?
What I was thinking, or say, the reason I put those topics there, was that they may give us more stories--interestig life and feelings--to read, rather than essays, which are too much like exams but not any fun.
But if we are more interested in some dry topics that are far away from our real life, I am 100% fine with it. Any way would do as long as it can help improve our English.

So great!
Dear OliveOil, these days I am busy preparing for my coming exam, but that just needs another three days. So ,after my exam I will have enough time.:D

How about one topic per week? I think this is good for comparison.:P

OliveOil · 发表于 2004-11-14 18:48

Good idea Connie. Please pick out and suggest one for each week :)

Wish you good luck with your exam although I believe you don't really need it!!!

A Strange Occurrence

This strange event happened when I was in Montreal. When I worked in a liquor store, there was a man who came to the store every night and paid for his alcohol completely in coins. At the beginning, I just felt curious about his dibs. Why did he only have coins?
One day, I took the subway train downtown. A shadow caught my attention. I saw there was a homeless person. He was wearing dirty clothes and ate the leftover food. However, he did not forget to show his poor face to ask for money. He was a smart man because he chose a place that had a huge traffic of people which made it easy for him to get more money by only sitting there. There, almost everyone threw him a coin to show their sympathy. That was the source of his coins. However, he used all of this money for alcohol. He was an alcoholic.
When I went back to work that night, he came in again as before. Because he was a homeless person, the government gave him a place to live and food. Why didn’t he find a job? Maybe, that was the easiest way to make a “salary”. Should people give him money for drink if they know they will continually have to give him? That makes me feel strange; I think people just sympathize him. However, if nobody gives him the money, is he going to try using his power to gain money? I think maybe we should not give him money, not because we are not kind but because maybe that is why he is lazy.
Also, I think there are a lot of people who have the same experience as me. If we do not give them money, maybe we can help them to find a new life.

老杨，现在写作文越来越溜了。

Those are kind of too private topics, maybe some other ones not so personal.
