Four Factors of Choosing a College


Four Factors of Choosing a College


The college is an educational institution that provides specialized

 

professional and skill training. A good college can provide a better

 

learning environment and can change someone’s life. Therefore we

 

should choose colleges carefully. There are four factors of choosing a

 

college: the ranking of the college, obtainable subjects, internalization,

 

and the future after graduating.

 

    The first factor is the ranking of the college. The higher ranking of

 

the college we get into, the more resources we might have. For

 

example, we might have better facilities, or we might meet a higher

 

quality of professors and classmates. The ranking of the college

 

decides the environment we will have in the future. The next factor is the

 

range of the subjects we can study. If there is a variety of

 

subjects that students can study, they will have more options to choose

 

from the subjects they might be interested in. At the same time, they

 

might reach for different knowledge, and they could learn variety.

 

Moreover, internalization is another factor of choosing a college.

 

Nowadays, our world is becoming more and more globalized, so colleges

 

should be more and more open. For example, many top colleges have a

 

lot of sisters schools over the world, and a lot of resources from other

 

countries that they can reach. The last factor for choosing a college is the

 

future after graduation. Colleges are places where people prepare and 

 

get ready for their future work. Therefore, we should consider whether

 

colleges provide many internship opportunities or have enough training

 

programs before students graduate.

 

    In conclusion, these are four basic factors when we are choosing a

 

college: the ranking of the college, the variety of the subjects,

 

internalization, and the future after graduation. A good learning

 

environment can lead us to a successful life, therefore we should

 

carefully choose our colleges.

  

A Different Me

A Different Me


Today, I am totally different from five years ago. During this five years,

 

I have changed a lot in personalities.

 

   Five years ago, I was a high school student and was preparing for

 

university entrance exam. I was a very shy person. For me, it is

 

impossible to make a presentation in front of many people. At that time, I

 

only focused on studying but nothing else. I didn’t have much social

 

life, and I even didn’t know how to communicate with other people. I

 

almost looked like a nerd. However, I totally changed when I went to

 

the university. I made many friends there, and my personalities also

 

changed a lot. I have become a very outgoing person since I was college 


student. I also studied a lots in university, but I was not only studying but 


also joining a variety of activities. For example, I was a public relation in 


English Club, a leader in our class for two years, and a member of  


International Business Students Association. During the time of the 


university, I almost changed to another person.

 

    I am very happy with my differences of the five years ago. Now, I am

 

very comfortable with standing on the stages without shyness, and I have

 

more and more confidences.

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie

    

   Today I am going to talk about Angelina Jolie, one of my favorite actors. 


Angelina Jolie is anoutstanding actress and also a goodwill humanitarian.

 

    Before Angelina Jolie went into the Hollywood, she was a fashion model

 

and also appeared in a lot of music videos. At the age of sixteen, Angelina

 

Jolie learned to become a actress from her father, and she found out her

 

acting abilities. Angelina Jolie started her filming career in 1993, but she

 

didn’t be noticed at that time. After she played a role in George Wallace

 

and performed as Cornelia Wallace in  1997, she won a Golden Globe

 

Award and was dominated for an Emmy Award. In 1998, she continued to

 

played a role in HBO’s Gia, a world of sex, drugs and emotional drama.

 

Next year, she was dominated for an Emmy Award again, and won her

 

first Screen Actors Guild Award. Besides, she has a series of popular films,

 

such as Lara Croft, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, changeling and so on. Her

 

achievement let her win several awards. However, when she became

 

popular and become a super star, she started to involve in humanitarian

 

work and do charities. When she was filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia in

 

2001, she became aware of  worldwide humanitarian crises. In the

 

coming years, she donated a lots money, participated in a variety of

 

charities, and now she has donated three different-countries children.

 

      Although, she is a super star and very famous, she doesn’t forget to

 

help people. Angelina Jolie is not only a good actress, but also a goodwill

 

humanitarian.
