What does the future hold for mankind? how will we use genetics?

The future for mankind is hard to predict because humans can't exactly know what will happen in the future. However, one thing we determine that if we abuse genetics in the future, our world will come to the end. If we want to continue to live in this world, we have to handle genetics nicely. If we want to use genetics, we will make human replicas, which are convenient to people and they can do as original people. We can invite experts to copy your human replica which looks like you, and then you can order this replica to do whatever you want. However, although it is nothing bad to human beings, if you use it indirectly, it might can destroy the world. For example, if some people think in the wrong way, they might use their own replicas to kidnap, steal, or commit. Although they are found with guilt, real people don't matter because people have done what they want. it sounds like tiny thing, but when this event happens again and again in the future, the world will be suffered and people will be hard to live continuously.

5: If I were to run away from home, I would go to complete something I wanted to achieve. I ran away from home not because I hated my parents and my annoying younger sister, I wanted to complete something by myself. I didn't want my family knew because I was afraid that they would reject and I didn't want them to worry about me. So, something I wanted to complete was to go to my classmate's house to do the project, and this project was very important for all students. I didn't want my family know because they didn't want me to go anywhere that was unfamiliar and strange although my classmate were my best friends. After that, I went to his house to finish the project in three hours. After finishing the project, I went back to home, and then my parents blamed me because I didn't tell them first. I made them worried and they felt anxious, and than I learned a lesson: I shouldn't leave home without parents' permission and didn't let them think that I was going to run away.

6: Tell about any "good" memories you have: the good memories I have is when my family and I went to Europe during the summer. Actually, I loved to travel everywhere becuase I couldn't learn some different culture and geography from any country. I thought this is a good memory becuase we went to Paris, Italy, Switzerland, and Venice in one week, that was a lot. This was the first time my family and I went to Europe, so we were very excited to go there. Of course, buildings in Europe were different from where I lived. Buildings in Europe were beautiful and they looked like castles, and they were made by fragments of the brick, not cement. Not only this scene made me interested, but also the special scene in Venice. Venice was also called "The City of Water" because this city was located on the water. My family and I went there to go by ship and there were a lot of churches which were attractive. Although the weather was hot and dry, I also had a lot of fun there and we took lots of pictures there, too. After finishing this awesome trip, we were tired, but fun.

Quick write-Extreme pressure

What qualities enable people to perform well when facing heart-pounding fear or stress?  Think about your own experiences or those of someone you know, as well as new stories or fiction you’ve read.  Then, jot down your thoughts about people taking action when the stakes are high.

When people face heart-pounding fear or stress, concentration and calm enable people to perform well. Actually I have my own experience: The thing that I would face heart-pounding fear or stress was presentation because I usually shaked my hand when I faced in front of the audience. Therefore, I thought the only way was to be concentrated and calm before I was ready for any presentation. These were the only way because people couldn't just run away to avoid the presentation, this method was not only acceptable, but also was embarrassing, people couldn't learn anything with that way. After that, I think people should focus on what their try to present later, and do anything without nervousness and irritancy, they have to be calm before they start to present their project. Overall, I hope when the stakers are high, I will take this action to demonstrate that I can be a good presenter in the future.

1. The best memory I have with my family is to go to Europe. Four years ago, my family and I went to Europe for one week during the summer break, we have been to Paris, Italy, Switzerland, and Venice, that was a lot. Venic among these places was the most interesting place for me because the land is placed on the water, and it's also called " City of Water". That's why my family and I would like to go there again next time. Why I choose this event as my best memory I have with my family because we always stayed, chated, and played together during the travel, we could share our own feeling about this trip or talked something fun to each other. That's why I think this is a great memory I've seen.

2. Without my family, I can't live for very long time because family is very important for me. Although I have some best friends in school, I still think that family is the most important when I am bored. When I feel terrible in school or somewhere, the first people I would like to talk with are my family because they know me more than friends. When I encounter some trouble in public, family can help me cross the difficulties. That's why I think it is harmful and painful without my family.

3. My family roots go back to hundreds and thousands years ago, it takes very long time to look for my family roots. Actually, although my family and I know what the roots' last name, we can't clearly know what they look like. Every February of year, we have to go back to my mom and dad's hometown to see their relatives, and we have to do the manism, this is what we should do during the new year. That's why every these days, we can know more about the manism and sacrifice to our ancestor.

Qick Write-When the going gets tough, the tough gets going

There's a saying: when the going gets tough, the tough get going. "In very difficult circumstances some people do indeed get going. They have a spirit that moves them ahead-pushing them to do heroic deeds.What makes these people so tough, so strong in spirit? Why do they turn out to be good? Why do others go so wrong? Jet down your thought about.

These people, who have their heroic deeds, have an encouragement that comes from their relatives. Maybe their relatives say something to support and encourage them, these good sentences what they said will get them tough and they will try to complete something with accomplishment. If they want to be good to get deeds, they have to accpet what their relatives said and follow them with willingness. However, some other people still go so wrong because they don't have willpower and insistence to finish their purpose. When they think that it's difficullt to complete, they will just give up suddenly. That's why I think some people can do heroic deeds, but the others can't do.
