Actually, money is one of the most important resources of happiness. You can’t achieve any reasonable milestone without money, mostly.

**conditionals** Hello English students, try this:

I'm from Brazil and cultural diversity is huge over there. Brazil is a very diverse country. You can find all kinds of cultural habits and it also changes from area to area. For example, in Bahia most people love Axe. In Rio people like more Samba. Of course like I said Brazil is a very diverse country so not everyone from Rio likes Samba though. So, diversity is very present in Brazil :)

It has been a long time for me to go on a trip since I had much homework in my school. Anyway, the last trip in Japan left a deep impression on me. I really had a great time there. I travelled in Japan with my family and stayed there for 2 weeks. While being touched by its colourful culture and architectures, I was moved by friendly as well as helpful locals there. I still remembered the day I asked a girl where I could exchange foreign currency in Kyoto. At first, she apologetically shook her head and walked away. But moments later, she rushed towards me and showed me the way to the nearest XDM. It was this experience that made this trip more unforgettable. Besides, living in Minshuku was an unique experience as well. Going to the local mall to pick up our dinner and taking a walk in a nearby park at night made us feel much relaxed. We once took a taxi in Tokyo, but we failed to understanding what the taxi driver was talking about in his English, and then the funniest as well as a little bit weird scene happened. My dad kept speaking Chinese while the taxi driver kept speaking Japanese, both of them waving their hands from side to side as if they had known what they were talking about. Finally, we magically reached to our destination earlier than expected. It was like a sheer wizardry! No matter what, it was this wonderful trip that made me deeply realized there's a big difference between people and government!

I had a good time in Asakusa. Asakusa is a very beautiful place!

I’m seriously considering changing my job recently. My current job has consumed nearly all my energy both physically and mentally. I didn’t expect working as a teacher to be like this. The stress comes from both the school and the students. The school imposes an unreasonable workload on teachers and puts all the emphasis on marketing instead of teaching. Meanwhile, although some students are pretty nice and caring, others are nightmares. The misery caused by this job has grown with each passing day, and I don’t think I can bear it much longer. However, I’m struggling to figure out what kind of new job I can try, so there is still a long way to go.

On this rainy day, my mom set off early to run some errands, which usually a bad sign. I knew what loomed - endless homework with Dad as a warden. However, not this time, not gonna happen! I am learning Bible and this, Exodus 31:14, popped up in my head. (It’s probably the only full sentence I’ve memorized. Too important!) I was like, "For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord." Dad, bless his heart, couldn’t argue with it, speechless. Later I spent hours watching a whole season of cartoons without zero interruption. I praised the Lord for securing my day of rest.

One of my friends has learned Zi wei dou shu, the traditional Chinese astrology, and I asked her to analyze my astrolabe. My friend said that the purpose of analyzing our astrolabes was to help us know ourselves better instead of predicting the future. With the help of our own astrolabes, we can learn more about our personality, work, wealth, health, relationships, and so forth. After my recent experience of fortune-telling, I realized that my attitude toward mysticism has changed a lot. When I was young, I thought mysticism was interesting but unreliable. Now my attitude has become more tolerant and positive. Although I still can’t understand the principles of it, I respect and even believe in it. One of my friends considers fortune-telling a unique way of psychological counseling, and I think this makes sense. I felt more confident about myself and my life after I had a thorough grasp of my astrolabe.

Definitely Belle from Beauty and the beast.
