Assignment~Classification of wine

Most the people only divide wine into red wine and white wine. And actually wine can be classified in three major categories: table wines, sparkling wines, and fortified wines. Table wines, also called still or natural wines, are consumed mostly with food, they tend to compliment the meal. Sparkling wines, for example champagne is distinguishable by its effervescence and is drunk for the most part on festive occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and during the holidays. Fortified wines, such as sherry or vermouth, are most commonly drunk before or after meals and it is also frequently used in cooking.

Table wines are further classified by color, as red, white, or rosy; and by character, as sweet or dry. Red wines are made from the skins of dark grapes. White wines may be made from green grapes or from dark grapes, but with white wine the grape skins and pressed juice do not come into contact unlike red wine. True rosy wines are the products of dark grapes; their skins remain in contact with the juice only until it has turned into a pale pink.

Now that you are familiar with the three most famous typesof wines: table wine, sparkling wine, and fortified wines,perhaps the next time you are out grocery shopping you canpick out the right bottle for that perfect occasion.

Assignment~Credit Card Debt

Nowadays, credit card holders in Taiwan are numerous. Owning a credit card should be a very convenient and positive thing as long as it is used responsibly. But there are also ways of credit cards to get people into financial trouble .A credit card is easy to obtain, but if you over use it, you might get yourself into the credit card debt. There are too main reasons for people to get into the debt.

First, credit cards are abused by being used too often and to purchase items that are extremely expensive, consumers can get themselves into a financial trouble. The most common problems that people have with credit cards are that they charge much more than they can afford, and become in debt. It can take some people years to recover from high credit card debt.

Second, some people attempt to take out a loan to pay off a credit card, or you transfer credit card debt from one card to another, hoping to take advantage of a lower interest rate or promotional offer. While this will work for awhile, eventually you will have difficulty paying off the debt along with high interest. This only makes the situation more worse. There are many people still doing this to get by.

As a result of this phenomenon, you may go into bankruptcy for not being able to pay off the debt. That can seriously damage your credit record. For preventing this situation from getting worse, most of banks set a more strict limitation of credit card applying. Obtaining a credit card is not as easy as it used to be. The plastic piece makes our life more convenient only if we use it responsibly.

Assignment~The vantage to be a part time student

After graduation from school, I believe that most people realize that to be a student is much better than to work all day long. However, being a part time student is not so good in reality for those who work hard and feel tired after whole day harassments from their jobs and bosses. Nevertheless, I still think that it must have something good to be a part time student, such as work and life experiences that help me a lot to understand that what part of me should be strengthen or what kind of ability that I need.

Communicating with diverse customers is what I must to do at work everyday. I need to talk with some foreign people sometimes, and the stammer conditions always make me embarrassed and blushed. That would be the biggest part that drives me to study hard in foreign language and also the most important support to conquer the fatigue.
Promotion to higher position is everyone’s destination at work. Unfortunately, qualification for promotion, the diploma of college, is the least limitation of it now. That’s one of the reasons that usually reminds me do not abandon my way to seek much more knowledge and skills which can assist me to pursue a higher level at work.

Perhaps these reasons are resulted from my optimism. But what I truly believe is that this is the way I chose and the way I have to accomplish. Therefore, I would have no regret to be a part time student.

assignment~self-description

I have black shoulder-length hair and no any obvious facial features. I always consider that my nose is too flat, maybe plastic surgery is an option. One of the most outstanding features on my face is probably my big round eyes. But my eyes look empty most of the time after the daily grind. I consider my figure as well-proportioned, neither too fat nor too skinny. I am not satisfied with my height, and there’s no chance to grow taller, only high heels can makes me look taller. My friends said that I seem to be difficult to get along with when they first met me. But actually I'm just a warmhearted girl with cold looks.

Assignment~narration of My puppy

My intimate partner is my dog Cookie. Cookie is a Dachshund with creamy hair. I bought him from the pet shop in September 2006, since then my life has been totally different. He is adorable but sometimes brattish. Cookie is persistent on what he wants; sometimes it can be very annoying. He likes to bite things including my glassless, digital camera, MP3 player, etc. Biting seems to be his greatest interest. He has cryptorchidism that means he has only one testicle. But this doesn’t affect his sexual ability. He’s always horny; he likes to hot people’s leg and does some tasteless behaviors. That’s really embarrassing, especially when he doing that to strangers.

Keeping a pet is like keeping a child. It requires you to put lots of efforts . The most important thing is to be responsible for your pet. My dog is crazy and self-willed. he's always able to do something that would drive me crazy, but I enjoy his company. I will always love him and take care of him no matter what he does.
