Is Writing an Arduous Task?

         Is writing an arduous task for you? For me, writing can be an interesting task or a difficult job which depends on the purpose of writing. If the purpose of writing is for academic or studies use, I will take more effort to finish it. On the other hand, I will use an informal  and relax way to write for fun or pleasure when I am free. Apart from purpose of writing, the language that use to write can also affect the arduousness of writing to me. When I am using my mother language-Chinese language to write, I feel free and fluent in my writing instead of a lot grammatical error and deficiency of vocabulary when I write in English language.

        We need to do a lot of writing when we are doing assignments, homework, exams and tasks for academic use. In order to get more information about the topic that I want to write, I will do some research and planning before I start writing. This action can make me have deeper understanding on the topics that I want to write and create the writing product in an easier way. Therefore, I need quite a long time to finish my writing task and take a lot of effort to produce an essay or research. But, I can learn more from this research action and this can improve my knowledge in the related topics or issues. While for planning part, I will joint down the words that flash in my mind and make a draft before I start my writing. My writing structures can be more neatly and easy to understand after planning and drafting.

        Besides, I think writing is an interesting task when I write something for fun. Nowadays, the youngsters like to share their feeling and thinking by writing in their own blog or social network website. Of course, the youngsters included me. For instance, almost everyone in the world has a Facebook account to upload their photos, comment on status and most importantly, Facebook users can write their own opinions or even feeling on their own wall. Social networking is not only can communicate with people in the whole world, but it can also improve the writing skill of a writer when he or she use formal language when writing. For your information, I have a blog. I like to share my feeling or what has happened in my life no matter happy, sad, furious or regret in my blog, But it is in Chinese language which is my mother tongue language. It can relieve my stress from my life and thus writing for fun is important in my life.

       In a nutshell, writing can either an arduous task or an interesting job for me. However, I wish that I can change the arduous writing job when using English language into interesting task. Reading more English language novels, listening to English radio FMs and watching more America series dramas or movie will be my alternatives to enhance my vocabulary and writing skill in order to produce a high quality writing essay or research. Therefore, let us work hard together to achieve our own aims or targets and proceed to the next level in our life!

Cohabitation = Marriage ?

           Do you know the meaning of cohabitation? Cohabitation is an arrangement where two people who are not married but lived together in an intimate relationship, particularly an emotional and sexually intimate, on a long-term or permanent basis (definition from Wikipedia). The figure of cohabitation increased obviously in this few years and it has become a common pattern or life style in western world for instance United State and America.

          There was an official figures from Office for National Statics (ONS) showed that the fastest growing type of family in United Kingdom (UK) are people who are living together without marriage. The number of people who cohabited has doubled up to 5.9 millions since year 1996 especially for the couple from 35 years old to 44 years old. This may related to people nowadays prefer late marriage and increasing age at marriage.

          In this globalization era, most of the youngsters felt that cohabitation is benefit for themselves. They are open-minded and feel free from custom,religion or even society. More and more couples are simply packing their things and move in to live together. They want to have a trial that live intimately with their partner to avoid bad marriage. Cohabited couples felt that it is more convenient and economic beneficial especially in hard financial time. In their opinion, they can save the money for wedding preparation or even divorce. Therefore, couples nowadays dare to take the challenge to cohabit without any promise of marriage.

         Apart from that, ethnic disadvantages also contained in cohabitation too. Domestic partnership without marriage can lead to unstable environment for child's development if cohabited couples have their own child. It is mistaken to have a concept that cohabited couple have legal right as married couple when they having a child. Besides, both side of them will think like "It is doesn't matter for what is happening since we are not married". This is an irresponsible behaviour and it is even serious if they have their own children.

         Cohabitation issue had been discussed for this century. In a nutshell, different countries has different view on this issue according to their own culture. Cohabitation is accepted by western world who has open-minded thinking while it is still take as illegal for marriage rights in eastern countries. For example, In Califonia, a family can be formed without an official marriage while in Asian countries like Malaysia, a pair of parent must have official marriage to form a family. Cohabitation perhaps cannot be accepted by certain amount of people, but can you accept it?

However, please arrange your time wisely. Please settle all those important things first before you enjoy your time.

       In year 2020, I am a professional Public Relations practitioner who specialised in event management. Don't regret for your choice that transfer to Social Art stream from a Science student. It was a right choice for your life. So, I need you to be more concentrate in class to absorb knowledge as much as you can. This action is important to ensure my work (and also your work) can be done in a more efficient and successful way.

      Please be more socialise and interact more with your classmate in order to meet more friends that have same interest in job with you although I knew that you are a talkative girl. This is very lovely to have friends that can share the same topics and views with you. While, frankly speaking, it is very useful for your future career too.

But, I want to advise you that you should use a more mature way to overcome your troubles and problems.
