Big Change in Marriage Life

Everyone thinks that marriage is happiness to couple, but it is not al all truth. The marriage has adapted to new life and they have to change certain things to share with each other. Single life and married life are different in some aspects. When you are a single person, you have more independence, you have fewer responsibilities and you don’t worry about the financial situation.
A single person is more independent than married person. The single people make their own decision; in contrast, married people have to share decision with their partner. The husband has decided the best things to get a better life. When you get married you are limit in go out with your friends. Even if you can meet with friends, but you should introduce you partner. Sometimes you need to meet yours friends alone. In addition, when people get married they depend on the other person because they are sharing their lives. In the case of the woman depend on the economic situation or they have just spend money according to budget. On the other hand, when it comes talking care of their health.
The single person has fewer responsibilities because she just takes care of herself. When you get married, you have to prepare food everyday.

Dogs or Cats should be your Pet

It is well known that dogs and cats have always animosity towards to each other. So we hardly to see humans have dog and cat together. Cats and dogs, do we have to compare these two pets? Obviously, dogs are better. Everyone knows that well. Let’s start talking about the reason why.
First of all, dogs defend people. Have you ever heard about guard dogs? Don’t you feel safer when you stay at home with your dog? They can give you a warning. Dogs equal safety. What about cats. Have you ever seen cats bark when stranger got in to your house? Impossible, cats only moan “Meow, meow, meow” Then, they run away and watch the robber steal your stuff from your house. So what do you want for safety?
Second, dogs are alert and active. When you feel lonely, you need someone to walk or go out with. Dogs are good friends for you. You can take them walking in to public parks. Also you can throw a ball and play with them in the yard. But cats never walk along outside or bring a ball back to you. They just walk sneaking on the porch.
Third, dogs are known as “Man’s best friend” We known since ancient times that dogs are man’s best friend. They have always worked hard with people. They can go hunting in the forest. Dogs can find the direction when you get lost from their commander nose. Humans can use their labor to drag a cart. However, cats pee on people’s rug or scratch their furniture. They also often ignore their owner when they call them.
In conclusion, so would you like to have they loyalty of good guard, a good friend to play with you everywhere, and the best friend that can help you anytime? Or would you like to have a stupid animal that wait for a robber to steal your stuff, sneak on the porch, and always pee on you rug? Which one should be your pet?

Life in rural and urban

What influences can individual to select a place for living over the other? The place they choose will affect their way of life. People may think rural living is more relaxed, and that urban living may be more fun. These two place both have advantages from the others. On the other hand, having advantages means they must have disadvantages. Each characteristic can influence people’s decision.
Urban life is a modern living condition, everything is well developed like transportation. By using bus, taxi and train, you can go to anywhere without driving your own car. It is so convenient for the daily life. Since it was developed, more and more industrial factories were built. They have polluted the air and make the resident easy to get ill. Moreover, it may cause some specific urban illness. On the other hand, rural life has fresh air which is good for our health. More flat land and green plants are good for our eyes. However, rural areas is far from the city. The transportation is poor, and it is hard to go anywhere without a car. So the people who living there may waste a lot of time on transport.
In the daily life, people living in urban areas have a busy life. For a college student, they may need to go to school during the daytime and work at nighttime. They may also need to spend extra time on entertainment with their friend, even if they are really tired. Life in rural areas seems more relaxed. Although they don’t have so much joy as urban, they have an easier life. People in rural areas may only need to take care their own business such as farmland. By the way, they are the boss of the business. They don’t need to rush to work on time.
Finally, urban people may have more stress. Since they live in dense population areas, people get more friction to each other. They are always being compared to others. It forces them start having competition between each other in school, work and everything. This will make the society a improve, yet this is the main source of stress. Thought rural have a poor society structure, they are close between their neighborhoods. They can reduce the stress by talking to other with their free time. There is less competitive for them too because they have less chance in doing similar job like produce corn or fruit.
By considering both advantages and disadvantages, people will choose their best fit area to live. There is no perfect place without and problem to live in this world. Everyone has a different habit of living. Their habit is the main reason why people keep immigrating around the world.

SLR Film Camera vs SLR Digital Camera

Do you prefer to use analog or digital things? If you’re planning to buy a SLR camera, which one would you like to get, film or digital camera? Both of them will cost but have nice qualities, and the process of taking a photo and making a print are quite different. Nowadays, digital cameras (not SLR) dominate a market because it’s easy to use it effectively. Still, SLR film camera is loved by many photographers.
The first thing is the cost of camera, parts and running costs. Both of cameras need a lens. Lens takes a lot of money the same way. How about the body? Film camera is not so expensive, but you have to spend your many on film and development. On the other hand, digital camera is really expensive, but you don’t have to buy things, which I described above.
The second difference is hot to take a photo. Usually, film camera uses manual focus mode. There are some steps before you take a photo. First, you have to think about how light the place is. This is very important to set the aperture and shutter speed because most of film cameras don’t have a speed light, so you have to figure out the light with using exposure meter. Then, you pull the film lever, focus on what you want to take, and release a shutter. It looks a little bit hard for you, but you can feel some good sense of tension and get satisfaction from these steps. Digital camera uses auto focus mode, so it’s convenient and easy to focus on the subject. Then, you can check what you took right after with the LCD of digital camera. Film camera doesn’t have a LCD but you will look forward to seeing the images that you took with the camera.
The last difference is how to make a print. Again, film camera has many steps and needs special tools to make a print, but you can use a lot of imagination to figure out the best print for each photo. You use a printing machine and color filters, or you can make your own darkroom in your home bathroom. You expose the image of film to a paper, and then put it into the liquids for developing. The moment of a picture is coming out from a developing paper fascinates people. Digital camera uses a memory card, so you don’t have to go to or make darkroom and ready for making a print. This is one of benefits for digital camera users. It’s easy to put pictures on your computer and print it out. But you have to buy a printer first. And if you want to fix colors, contrast, and shape of your photo, you have to buy Photoshop too. It is a good tool to fix your photos but sometimes it makes a fake print. Because of this, some photographers don’t use digital camera.
As you can see, film camera has more steps to do everything than digital one. But these are the basic and most important elements to know what the photography is. People choose a camera depending on their situation and need. Nowadays, most mechanical things are changing to digital from analog. But analog things have good points contrary to popular belief. Why don’t you look back the things you used before? There are some that you will like and be impressed again.

Cats and Dogs as Pets

Have you ever owned a cat or a dog? You may think cats and dogs are very similar pets. However, if you not only adopted a cat but also a dog, you would find some differences. I owned a cat and a dog two years ago. When I compare the two kinds of pets, the advantages of owning dogs are clear.
First, dogs are more handsome than cats. My dog, who was Alex, was a big furry white dog. He had big brown eyes, pointed ears, an all white body, and he weighed 100 Ibs. Cats, even though they are delightful, they are too small. My cat’s name was Scotch, and he was a cute little ball of fur. He had orange and white fur, green eyes, and long white wiskers but weighed only 10 Ibs. I like bigger pets!
Second, dogs are friendier than cats. Dogs are man’s best friend. Alex was like my family member. When I came home, he always ran to the door immediately to greet me. We often played and were dependent on each other. Scotch, on the other hand, was somewhat unfriendly. Scotch always scatched, bit, and slept on the sofa; he never got up to greet me or play with me. he was too individualistic and very selfish.
Third, dogs are smarter than cats. Alex was highly intelligent, so he understood my needs. He often helped to look for my keys, watches, and shoes when I forgot where they were. Once, I forgot my keys, and Alex looked for them under the sofa. However, Scotch was silly, so he never understood my needs. At the time, he just woke up and jumped to me for his food. I gave it to him. After he ate, he went away.
As a result, adopting a dog is better than a cat because a dog is more handsome, friendlier, and smarter than a cat. If you’re thinking of finding a feline friend, don’t do it. If you own a dog as a pet, you will have fun in your life. Dogs’ traits make them man’s best friend.

Shopping Information

Soo Jung Lee (Jane)
When do you usually shop? I usually go to stores shopping is to be classified into two types which are shopping at stores and shopping online. There are three different characteristics between store shopping and online shopping and there are strengths and weaknesses to both types.
My first point of discussion is convenience. When you go shopping at store, you can find what you want. Therefore, you often spend time consuming and it difficult to compare prices. On the other hand, online shopping makes it easy for you to search for and locate exactly what you are looking for. Also, when you shop, it is easy to compare prices. You can save time online shopping because you can do it on your use computer at home.
Both ways of shopping, however, is product choice in your own way. Store shopping is expensive because they sell new things. However, you can try on the clothes and see if they fit. Online shopping is cheap because you can check the lower price. Obviously, when you shop online, you cannot try on the clothes, so you may have doubts about the purchase.
Finally, the procedures are different for both shopping. Procedure of store shopping is very simple. You can in cash or with a credit card. Also, store shopping does not have delivery charge. When you go shopping, you can enjoy the time with your friends. Online shopping sometimes has complicated procedure to buy, and you have to pay delivery. Shopping is fun when you hang out your friends, but online shopping is a solitary experience.
In conclusion, there are two popular ways to shop. One way is going to the sores and the other is to shop online. There are strong points and weak points for both shopping types. Both ways are very productive and have their advantages in shopping. However, there is no right way to shop, it really depends on how you like to shop.
