Task 2

　　The tendency to copy is shown in the popularity of fashion in clothes and other consumers' goods. To what extend do you agree or disagree?’

As people’s aesthetic demands growing with the development of fashion industry. No issue seems more marvelous than fashion. Fashion has long been an important part in modern life and it is so common in my country for young people to follow some fashion trends in clothes, accessories, mobile phones, and even lifestyles like travelling abroad to enjoy the picturesque and exotic landscape. The most evident example is the apple’s gadgets which are so sought after that fans of the digital giant send their tributes to it in a fanatical way.
 
In the first place, there would be better understanding about this phenomenon if the driving factors are scrutinized. The young generation is always the fashion followers who are eager to win recognition from their community, and the way of achieving that includes looking like a huge celebrity or a successful tycoon. Therefore imitating the clothing style of celebrities becomes sought after. This tendency is also enhanced by glaring and dynamic advertisements in various forms. Rich and shiny stars endorse products and enthusiastic fans support them by making a generous purchase. But since when has all this materialistic lifestyle started? Are the celebrities the fashion setter?’ If we agree, it would be ridiculous. Without the abundant consumer goods in modern society, there would not have been so many entertainments or fashions. Therefore, the real fashion setter should be the high production efficiency which encourages people to pursue luxuries. Fashion trend as an effective marketing strategy has to be dynamic, otherwise there would be less demand for mass production.
 
In addition to the previous point, regardless of the high popularity of some consumer goods or world known brands, some mature minded people show no tendency of copying popular fashion. They have developed their own personal tastes for clothes and other consumer commodities and their preference tends to be less precarious. Further they are realistic and are more likely to make reasonable and sagacious decision when shopping than youngsters.
 
In conclusion, I believe that young people are prone to copy popular fashion trends in many aspects of life due to the ample supply of consumer goods and the promotion of advertisements while there are some mature people holding their personal way of life and ignoring the vogue vanity. In that case, the preponderance of the judicious consumers are just follow their internal desire to make a choice but not follow the superficial fad. Thus the tendency for human beings to copy one another cannot be shown in the popularity of fashion in clothes and other consumer goods.

有几个月没更新博客了，一来工作上事情多，二来不断有些新朋友通过网站找到我，需要雅思枪手，或者托福代考，一直也挺忙的，所以也就无暇发文章了，哈哈。
为什么今天要更新一下呢？也是我这个人比较喜欢记录生活。时不时会写写QQ空间，微博什么的。把生活的一些感受感悟记录一下。若干年后，回头看来也是蛮有趣的。
“忽悠”这词，第一次听说，还是在本山大叔的小品《卖拐》。小品开头，范伟好端端的；结尾时，范伟被忽悠瘸了，苦逼的拄着双拐，但是心存感激的走了。
生活中，社会上忽悠随处可见。有金钱来往，就存在忽悠。不是你忽悠别人，就是被别人忽悠。
做英语枪手有几个年头了，这个行业不是阳光产业，鱼龙混杂！
有的中介骗枪手，如果你是英语枪手，想加入他们，要交押金。是不是很好笑？就跟社会上一些中介，打着介绍工作的幌子，让你交个200块，然后说有工作联系你，其实后面屁都没有！本人刚来上海的时候，就遇到过这事。
有的中介骗考生，如果你是考生，想找他们代考英语，要交定金。什么枪手的安全保证金，枪手的隐私保险金。这个那个，都快赶上有些公司交的五险一金了。不过，后者是待遇，前者是遭遇！
前段时间，遇到一个托福考生，询问我的同时，也在咨询其他一家中介。该考生说：那家中介，要他先付定金，说我这种出成绩付款是不靠谱的，说什么出成绩付款是幌子，考试前会强制要求客户先付款，否则就不去考！
这个考生问我：是不是这样的？我在电脑这头，感觉真的很好笑。贼喊捉贼！
我想说几点：首先，如果我真的是忽悠，也不会告诉你我是忽悠。退一步讲，就算我突然考前跟你要钱，也比他们现在就要你交定金，来的晚！最后，钱在你口袋，我要你交，你就会交吗？大不了这次不考，也就损失一次托福报名费。
昨天，遇到一个可爱的考生，90后的，社会阅历还不丰富，没经历过太多的人情冷暖！她自己找到一个中介，把自己的资料都发给那个人了，中介说他们考场有关系，有安全名额！让她先交订金，然后再安排雅思枪手去考试。还把其他人的汇款单，发给她看。
她问我行不行。我说，我跟你也素昧平生，但是我忠告你：他们，不靠谱！
他们发汇款单的图片给你看，是想告诉你：看，别人都汇款了，你还不抓紧！ 其实，潜台词是：看，他们都被忽悠了，你也赶紧交钱吧！ 这些什么汇款记录，我弄几张银行卡，A卡转B卡，B卡转C卡，C卡转A卡，来回倒，流水单就出来了！
她想想也是，说不跟他们合作。结果，这个中介急了，说要发帖揭发她找人代考的事，然后还在网上发了一个帖子，截图给她看。
小姑娘担心坏了，不知该怎么办，求助我！我说：直接拉黑，啥事没有！他们看你没反应，就不会发了，浪费时间（有这个时间，还不如去忽悠其他人）
小姑娘说不敢。
我说：请不要这么可爱行吗？他发帖就是威胁你，让你给钱！你以为你给了，就没事了吗？你给了，只会陷进去，他越要越多！再说了，网络这么大，谁知道你啊！
其实，有空的话，我倒是想逗逗这些2B中介，把我的QQ和电话发给他，然后说不考了！让他们发帖揭发，多发几条，帮我做广告！‍

Essay by Jeenn Lee Hsieh:
 
These days, it is common to see an increasing number of open-plan offices and schools, particularly in most major cities where there is limited area for buildings.  The main reason for this trend is cost, of course, since the value of floor space has been rising.  While having an open-space design is usually cheaper, it is worthy of more research on the pros and cons of this development.
 
To begin with, being cheaper in cost is certainly not the only positive aspect about the growingly popular open-space concept.  Regarding the construction of schools or universities, the open-plan design is meant to play the dual role of social interaction among students and environmental enhancement on a compact campus in the urban setting.  This is made possible by eliminating barriers such as walls, fences and hedges that traditionally used to separate distinct functional areas.  Meanwhile, such advantages may as well happen to the office floor.  It is argued that there are better interaction between staff, less distinction between different rankings of co-workers, more flexible space, and more natural light because of the removal of inteior walls.  All these serve to explain the popularity of the open-space design.
 
As often as not, the open-space design may just turn out to be a negative development leading to stress, if nothing else.  On the campus, it is reported that students are exposed to high levels of stress in their learning activities.  Surveys repetively show the majority of them are experiencing significant stress as a result of interpersonal conflicts, self-esteem complexities, time constraints, academic frustrations and emotional problems.  Similar effects are even more apparent in the working environment on the office floor.  For instance, it is hard for staff to concentrate due to lack of privacy and feeling of being watched.  What is more, problems of constant noise are likely to lower staff performance.
 
To sum up, there are both good things and bad things about open schools or open offices.  While the recent trend toward the open-plan design can be explained as at least cost-efficient, it is also important to know that those benefits are typically offset by myriad distractions and stressful situations.  Independent of the cost factor, not all people like the open-space design.  (Essay created by Jeenn Lee Hsieh
