avatar?

We play x box, PS3, Wii... and in all these console games we create our own avatar to participate the game. personally, I play x box games and I like it very much. In the game I have my own avatars and it seems really cool. 

Which factors will make people to decide which avatars to create? probability male and female will have different ideas. Male are more willing to create a strong and powerful one while female are more willing to create a more lovely one. Also people will create their avatars depend on the game they are playing. For some role playing games people will more likely to create a stronger one to win each game while in some skill games people are more willing to chose a smart one to do each assignment. 

Different console will offer different avatars. For example, in Wii, the avatars are totally different than those in x box games. In Wii, there have a lot of cartoon characters. In a Racing game, there are many different avatars can be chosen, and all of them have different skills and abilities. I will chose different characters depend on the different matches.

Overall, avatar can be chosen by people themselves in the games. Although they are not realism, but they are people themselves in some way, because they are controlled by people.

persuasive?

This is a market economy society, and people are trying their best to make money. We can see all kind of goods in the shopping centre and sometimes we can hardly decide which to buy because their are so many advertisements in the market.

If a manager want to sell a good, what should he or she do? Of course make the advertisement as good as possible, so, what should be included in the advertisements? Some attractive elements is necessary. Then, let customer feel good, so, the good can be sold.

Alright, so far today...I will continue tomorrow.

Chose a social network website

Recently, social network is becoming more and more popular especially among teens because they think it is a place which can share their ideas and their daily life. There is many type of social network website, for example, Facebook and Myspace. These two website is very popular recently. 

Some people use two website at the same time but others are not. Most people have their own preference base on the design and function of each website. Facebook and Myspace is not exactly the same, so, people can make their own choice base on their interest. 

I like Facebook because most of my friends chose to use facebook and I can contact them very easily though the Facebook. I also like its design because the design is very good and it is very concise. 

But, whatever which website people chose to use. it is always match people's preference, so we can not say which is good and which is not good. 

revision of writing

We write very often, especially in school, no matter in assignment, excise or exam. What makes a good writing? In my opinion, I think a good writing should be creative and attractive. How can we write a good paragraph? It is not very easy, and we should do a lot of work.

First, a good draft is necessary, in our draft, we should include our topic, main idea and many other evidences. We also need to prepare a lot before we write, to collect the useful informations and many other useful materials. We can do our draft more then one times with different ideas and see which one is the best choice.

After the draft, we can give our draft to other people and let them see whether it is good or not good, then we can listen to other people's opinion and suggestion. When we talk with other people, we can learn a lot, so, it is same in writing, we can learn a lot from other people when we share our passage to others.

When we get sufficient ideas, we can rewrite or modify our paragraph, using the new ideas to enrich our article, make it more nice to read. In this position, we should correct our grammar mistakes, to avoid spelling mistake. Then, our article can be more nice.

After we have done our article, we should read our passage again, to see whether it is perfect, if not, do the above stages again. 

Quotation?

We use quotation in our writing, aiming to strength our evidence, and making our passage more convince. What is quotation? Quotation is that we use a sentence or a paragraph from other people's article in our own article as an prove or evidence. We use it often especially when we are wring an article which is highly logic.

When we use quotation, we should put the source of the quotation, or it will be considered as plagiarize. For example, when we use a sentence, a picture or an paragraph from a website, we should put the URL on the bottom of the article and put the name of author if necessary. When we use a quotation form a book or a magazine, we should put the name, the author and the publisher in the bottom of the article. Then people who read your article can find the resource very easily.

How to chose the quotation? It is a very simple question. We chose the sentences and articles which are highly related to our own topic. In some case, we should use the whole article as the background or something else. If so, the quotation can be very long, then, in my opinion, I will put the source of the article on my own passage, tell readers where to find it. Then it can save a lot of space.

Overall, quotation is necessary, but we should correctly face it, and in this case it will help us a lot.

Can photograph really bring reality?

Based on my opinion, photography is a kind of art. People put the element of art in the photos, making it more beautiful and attractive. When people taking photos, they will chose a view, which is best for the whole photos. The light is also a important factor in photograph because the good light will make people feel very enjoyable. In this passage, I will talk about some of the photograph, in different situation.

When we going to travel, We can see a lot of beautiful scenery. And these scenery always attract us, and we always want to take photos during the travel. So, how to take take photos of the beautiful scenery? It is very professional and I am not going to talk about this in this case. What I want to talk about now is whether this photos are same as what we have seen in reality?

The answer is no. When I see the photos in travel magazines, I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery photos and thus I made my plan to travel there. But actually when I arrive there I find that the place is not as beautiful as those I have seen in the travel magazines. The photos usually after process and looks perfect. The photographers are very professional and they made the photo very nice no matter in which side.

Also, the photos in news and media sometimes also can not reflect the reality as well. Some photos are taken in certain conditions and can only stand for very small numbers part. Some photos are through computer process and are unreality, and people put them on newspapers for some purpose.

Photograph is just a kind of art and this sometime can not be reality. So, do not trust photos too much.

What makes a good paper?

We have seen a lot of newspapers and magazines ever since. What factor decide which magazine or newspaper customers will buy seems very important. A good paper should be very attractive and nice-looking. But, what is the definition of a good paper?

Personally, I think the paper should print the most important information on the notable position, then, readers can know what the topic of this paper. Also, the paper should cover many pictures which can simply describe the information on the paper because people usually do not have much time to read the whole article. People can easily acquire information form image through scanning, so what picture to post on the article is very important.

The background is also very important, because a good background can easily reflect the information and topic of the article and it also can attract people to read the passage. So, what is a good background? Personally, I think the background should match the topic, and it may contain the information from the article. If the background is not a picture, then, the color should match the topic of the article.

A paper will not be good if it is simply filled with a lot of pictures, instead, it should contain both text and images. So, a good combination is very important. Personally, I think text and images should next to each other, which is we put the certain text near the certain picture, then readers can easily quickly get the information they need. What's more, the images should reflect what the text is talking about.

So, that's my opinions how to make a good paper.

Advertisement

 We are surrounded by advertisements, and receiving advertisement is becoming a part of our daily life. Advertisements are sometimes not so annoying, instead, they are very interesting, and they are becoming a way of relax. In this article, I will discuss the advertisements in many aspects. First, I will discuss different types of advertisements, including their media and form. Second, I will discuss an advertisement base on my own choice. Finally, I will analysis an advertisement in our daily life.

Every day, there are whole bunch of advertisements come to my mailbox, selling discount goods or coming new products. Every time when I go to market, they will give me a lot of handouts, printed selling information on that. Every time when I connect Internet, there is lots of pop-ups appear in my browser, telling me which products is coming. In this market economy, people are trying their best to promote their goods, trying to attract consumers, and trying to maximally create profits.

I have seen a lot of forms of advertisements. The advertisements should be impressive if they want to attract the consumers’ attention. If the advertisement is failed, then, every effort that the company made will be lost, so, companies always focus on how to make good advertisements. A good advertisement always cost a company a lot of times and money to made, and a good advertisement will bring a lot of benefits to a company. Many companies use a part of their profit to invest on the advertisement, they may hire advertising agents to help their design, or they may setup their own advertising group.

Advertisement can be promoted via a lot of media, like TV, newspapers, magazines. These advertisements can be made into many forms like posts and TV shows, depend on promoting media. Each media and form of advertisements has their own advantages. For example,

Some of the advertisements are promoted via handouts. Some handouts I have ever received are extremely thick, reach to hundreds pages. These handouts give elaborate information about the goods, giving costumer a good review. Normally, these handouts will cost a big money to print and assemble, but many companies are still insisting to do this, mainly because they trust they will bring a good reward. Personally, I think this is a good way to make handouts, compare to those handouts merely have one page, people are more likely to keep a thick one, and have a read more then one times.

Some handouts are print on books, magazines, and notebooks. Companies give these stuffs to customers for free, aiming to let customers see the advertisements. For some magazines, the price is very low, or even free, because some companies sponsor the publishers, and people can see a lot of advertisements when they read such a magazine. Some companies print notebooks by themselves, print a lot of advertisements on them, and then give them to customers for free. This will also cost a lot of money, but sometimes, the coming profit will be very huge.

As I mentioned before, a good advertisement can attract the customers’ attention and it will bring a lot of profits to the company. Now, I will talk about a way of my own advertisement. First, a suitable media is important because it will decide whether customers will see the advertisement. If I am the manager of a company, I will print the advertisements on the certain products, like cups and pencils because these things are daily necessary goods and people use them frequently. If we give these goods to customer for free, customers are always willing to accept them and bring them back home. So, if we Print advertisement on those goods, customers can easily see them and can often see them. Then, how to advertise is next step and this is also very important because customers can memorize an impressive advertisement permanently. I will choose to put products’ images because most time people are unwilling to read a lot of text, so, an impressive image can be possible. If everything is running on the right track, then when customers are using these goods in daily life, they will gradually accept the advertisement and go to buy them.

Now, I will analysis an advertisement of my choice. Personally, I like apple, I like the products bring by apple, not because their appearance is beautiful, but they ability of these products is awesome. Further more, products bring by apple is very convenient to use and they can let your life become much more easy. So, this time, I picked up an advertisement bring by apple very long ago, and the image of the advertisement is attached in the final paper, which is about a mac produced in 1984.

Macintosh is made by apple, and now is the most popular computer in the world. Apple made awesome computers, and they also made awesome advertisements for their product. In their advertisements, customers are easily be attract, and can easily acquire the information which apple trying to say. The awesome feature of mac is that mac is very easy to manipulate, and the display is very beautiful.

This is an advertisement produced by apple in 1984, although it is very old, it is very classic. The advertisement contains images and text, trying to give customer a lot of information about mac, and trying to persuade them to buy. Personally, I pretty like this advertisement because of its classic style and perfect arrangement of images and text.

First, let me analysis the images on the advertisement. There is a main image about the whole appearance of the mac. The screen of the mac shows “hello” in a beautiful style because it is apple that first introduced word style in computer. It shows quite difference with PC in that age, far before the windows appear. The size of this mac is small compare to other computers in that age, so there is another images says that this mac can be put into bags, and it seems it more like today’s laptop, and it is very convenient. The mouse, which we call it today, was invented by apple at that time. Do not like other computer, which only require keyboard to input command, this mac can input command through mouse. The text says: If you can point, you can use mac”. Other four images show the ability of mac to display images, and they can let customer realize that the mac has awesome ability to process both in a lot of areas.

Then, let me analysis the text on this advertisement. The text occupied most of the area of this advertisement, trying to give a lot of information to customers, and trying to let them realize the awesome features of mac. I think this is a advertisement should put on the magazines and newspapers, and then can be read as an article. Customer may be attracted by the awesome images of the advertisement, then, they will read the text. Customer will get the most information from the text when they read the article, then, they will interest in the product and finally buy them.

I think this is a good advertisement because it contains the most information which apple want to tell the costumers, and customers can easily acquire the information which apple trying to tell them. The arrangement of the images and articles is very suitable, and customers are very willing to read it as an article in newspapers and magazines.

It is an advertisement from very long ago. Now, apple made a lot of new awesome advertisement, ranging form video to picture. I like the advertisements made by apple because I like the unique style they made.

In conclusion, advertisements are everywhere in our daily life, and they hugely influenced our daily life. A good advertisement will not only bring a lot of profits to the company, but it will also bring people a lot of enjoyment in their daily life and enrich people’s life.
