my dream house
I have a dream, that’s not so great, but I hope I can have a very nice house in my future, that is my dream house. My dream house is two floors. It is a very normal house. And it is white outside. When I open the door, I can see a wide living room. There are many pieces of furniture, like a soft sofa, beautiful table, and great TV. A little inside, that’s my kitchen and it is will be cleanly. There are also some machines on the table such as a juicer. I can use it to make fresh fruit juice. If there is one more puppy, that will be perfect. And the second floor is our bedroom. One room is for my wife and me. One is for my children. And the others are empty. They are for guests. Of course, the restroom is indispensable. It is much better if I have a basement. I think I will change it, and let it become a recreation ground. I can do sports here. Or I can play with my children here. That must be popular in my family. I think I will have a wonderful life if I can get my nice, beautiful, and comfortable dream house.

They make jokes with the senior people.
In this book we read four section already, they are “Kools”, “Arthur”, “Rescue 471”, and “Kids”. Of those sections, I like “Arthur” most, because this section talks about the relationship between Peter and Arthur. That reminds me of my parents. I remember when I was a little boy, the relationship between my parents and me was not good. They wanted me to study more, but I didn’t like to study, so they often yelled at me. And now, I understand why they were doing that for me. Because they wanted to do something good for me, In fact, they are friendly for me.

classification essay
Do you know what your favorite job is? How to become one of them? What should they do? There are many different types of job in this world, but my favorite types are the helping professions, orderly, mechanical work, and creative and artistic jobs.
The helping profession is a profession that nurtures the growth of or addresses the problems of a person’s physical, psychological, intellectual, emotional or spiritual well-being, including medicine, nursing, psychotherapy, psychological counseling, social work, education, life coaching and ministry. There are two jobs that I want to be in this type, they are writer and teacher. I like those two jobs because I like to have more knowledge and I like to teach others something. The writer is a nice job. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, writers need to choose a subject matter that interests readers. Writers write fiction or nonfiction stories and edit the drafts. Finally, writers publish those stories in newspapers, magazines, and the Internet, so that readers can read them. What a wonderful thing. Another example is teacher. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, teachers need to plan lessons in the subjects they teach, assess students to evaluate their abilities, grade students’ assignment, to improve their abilities and prepare students for standardized tests required by the state. I think teacher is a great job; it is an important element of a country’s future.
The orderly, mechanical work is some jobs that need to process details, or use machines to work. In this type, I want to be a computer programmer or engineer because I like to work with computers or high technology machines. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, computer programmers need to write programs in a variety of computer languages, update and expand existing programs, debug programs by testing for and fixing errors, build and use CASE tools to automate the writing of some code, and use code libraries to simplify the writing. If people can use the program which was written by me, that would be an exciting thing. I also want to be an aerospace engineer. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, if I become an aerospace engineer, there are a lot things that I need to do. I need to direct and coordinate the design, manufacture, and testing of aircraft and aerospace products, assess proposals for, develop acceptance criteria for design methods, quality standards, and completion dates, and inspect malfunctioning. What a miraculous thing to work with aerospace.
The creative and artistic jobs are some jobs that devise something, and embellish our life. I like this type because I like to create. The first example is architects. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, they need to determine objectives and requirements for structures, estimate the amount of required materials, equipment, and construction time, and direct workers. They also need to draw with computer software by hand, contract documents for building contractors, and seek new work by marketing and giving presentations. It is a little hard, but I think I will be interested in it. Another example is fashion designers. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, they need to study fashion trends and anticipate designs, decide on a theme for a collection, use CAD tools to create designs, and select fabrics, embellishments, colors, or style. They also need to work with other team members, share the idea and market designs to clothing retailers. That will be a pleasant job.
I like those jobs. No matter whether I become a writer or teacher in the helping professions, become a computer programmer or aerospace engineer in the orderly, mechanical work, or become an architect or fashion designers in creative and artistic jobs, they are all good jobs, and help society. Those jobs are my favorite jobs; I hope I can be one of them..

process essay
If people want to live in this world, they cannot forget food, so cooking becomes one important thing that people have to do every day. Around the world, people enjoy delicious food such as sandwiches, hamburger, noodles, and rice. For me, I’m Chinese, so if there is one food I have to know how to cook it is dumplings, because in my community, people often eat them on the first day of a new year, and other festivals. Furthermore dumplings are also delicious, but, dumplings are not easy to cook. However, by following the simple steps in this essay, you will learn now interpretation of how to cook Chinese dumplings.
The first step is preparatory work. This step has two important parts, one is mixing stuffing, and the other one is mixing flour. The dumplings have different stuffing, so we should think about what stuffing we want to eat, then, put those materials into a pot. Most of the time, I use meat, eggs, and shrimp. Next, put some cooking wine, soy sauce, and salt into this pot. Finally, use a stick to stir them around five to eight minutes. And now we have finished the stuffing, so let us start the flour. Put some flour into a new pot, then, put a little water in to the flour, and mix that flour. One important point is when we put water into the flour, it cannot be so much. It has to be a little each time until the flour and water become combined. After that, we are done with the preparatory work.
The second step is making dumplings. First, we take out the combined flour, make them into strips, and cut them into pieces. Then, push those pieces until they become flat, and use a rolling pin to roll them into a dumpling wrapper. Next, use a spoon to scoop up stuffing into the wrapper, and put the edges of the wrapper together. Finally, use your hands to crush it to make it look good. Now, a beautiful dumpling is finished. We are almost done with 80 percent of the cooking.
The last step is boiling the dumplings. First, put a lot of water into a pan. Then, put the pan on the cooking range, and fire it up. Next, wait until the water is boiling. Then, put dumplings into the pan. When the water is boiling again, put some cold water into the pan. This step needs to be done two to three times. When the water begins boiling, that indicates we are finished cooking.
Now, have you learned how to cook dumplings? It is not easy, but it is not so difficult either. If you follow these simple processes, I think you can cook dumplings by yourself.

hello my name is....
Today we had eight lectures, and I’m interested in one of them named “Hello, My Name is…” It was begin at 12:30 pm, and at 1:30 pm, in the room H-436, and I like the speaker very much, and her name is Linda Ostrowe. \
Just before the talk began, I followed my classmates to a normal room. Some people were waiting there already. I felt a little excited and a little happy, because I could listened her presentation again. After 12:30 pm, the presentation was really started. First, she asked us one question, “How can we meet new people?” This question made me interested, because if people want to make new friends, we should meet new people first. I began recalling to myself how I had made friends before. And other people told many ways such as friends of friends, new classmates, job, and religions, etc. That’s a really good way to meet new people. Next, she asked us one question again, “When we meet a new person, what can we talk about?” Perfect question, it is the most difficult thing to do. Most people don’t know what they can talk about. But now, I think I got the answer. We can start by talking about weather, food, pet, music, and movies, etc. Those are good topics to talk about. Finally, she told us, when we talk to other people, we should respect others by smiling, shaking hand, and making eye contact.
After that presentation, I think I learned a lot. I learned many ways to meet new people, I learned many topics that I can talk about with others, I learned I should be polite and respected for others. Those are important things and will help me to make more new friends. It is also good for my listening skill. I’m very happy I could participate this lecture.

rescue 471 final reflection
This week I finished the book Rescue 471 by Peter Canning. The final two sections are called "Memory" and "The Job". Although the ending is bittersweet, it ended on a high note. In chapter "Mr. and Mrs. Jones", Peter and Arthur responded to a call for a woman. This woman's husband was drinking. He was not took a bath for months, and he threatened to kill his wife. He also givens his wife a venereal disease. Cops took him to the hospital, and let him sober. Several months later, he got changed, and called for help because his wife got asthma. A significant idea in the chapter is on page 247 Peter says, "He seems to treat you all right." The relationship is very important in the life, and it can change someone.
In the chapter "Thanks", Peter and Arthur are sitting in their ambulance in a park to wait for a call. They are talking about the system and government. Then an older couple walking hand in hand are coming to them. They are the patients who Peter helped before. And they remember Peter and Arthur, but Peter and Arthur do not remember them. A significant idea in the chapter is on page 265, Peter says, “I was thanking the same thing.” Because Peter help patients, but that was not show on the TV, so if patients can remember them, that is one kind of honor for them.
In the chapter 'Ups and Downs", it talks about Peter sitting at the office talking to Rick Domina, who Peter thinks is one of the best medics in the company. They are talking about burnout. A significant idea in the chapter is on page 277, Rick Domina says, “when you start the highs are really high, and the lows are very low.” This is an attitude for a new job. When you have passion for one thing, you are really interested in it, but when you feel bored, you do not want to do it anymore.
I enjoyed reading about when Peter goes to save people's lives. There are some interesting stories that make me want to continue to read. For example, those fake patients, they did some funny things, and I can laugh when I read these parts. And I also felt a little bit sad when I read the ending. Anyway, it is a good book, and I like it.

burnout and recovery
Do you know what
burnout is? How do people become burnout? How does burnout affect people's
life? And how can people overcome burnout? If you feel interested in this, just
let me tell you something. According to online research, an article said,
"Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused
by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed and
unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the
interest or motivation that let you take on a certain role in the first
place." Burnout is a big problem for your life because it will affect your
job, your feeling, and your attitude about life. Therefore, we have to
learn how to overcome burnout.
In the online article "Preventing Burnout Signs, Symptoms, Causes, and Coping Strategies" by Melinda Smith, there is a lot of information to teach us what burnout is, what is the difference between stress and burnout, and how to prevent and recover from burnout. In this article, the author said, “Take a proactive rather than passive approach to issues in your workplace, including stress a t work. You'll feel less helpless if you assert yourself and express your needs. If you do not have the authority or resources to solve the problem, talk to a superior." Burnout will make you quit doing what you are doing. And there are some good ways to prevent burnout. You can start the day with a relaxing ritual. You can adopt healthy eating, exercising, and sleeping habits. You can set boundaries. You can take a daily break from technology. You can nourish your creative side. And you can learn how to manage stress. Those all are good ideas to help us recover from burnout.
In the book Rescue 471 by Peter Canning, Peter was burnout. Peter was a paramedic. He and his partner respond to patients’ calls and go to save patient’s’ lives. But, they always do the same thing every day. They transfer the patients to the hospital. And there are so many situations that Peter cannot control. They meet a lot of fake victims, troubled men, and some gory things. Still they cannot get any honor. People just called cops heroes. They fight with themselves, and they also fight with the weather. After the company changed to a new system, more problems come up, so, Peter has no passion for his job, and he wants to book off again and again. But finally, Peter overcomes his burnout. That's because of a new paramedic named Rebecca. Peter became a teacher and took some lessons from her, and taught her how to become a paramedic. Rebecca did all the work very well. She has motivation on her job. Peter looks at her, and thinks about himself when he had started this job. He regains has motivation on his job. So, Peter overcomes the burnout, and he wants to be a paramedic again.
Burnout also appears in large companies. In the NPR radio interview "Preventing Worker Burnout Can Boost the Bottom Line", Noguchi interviewed three companies. The first company is Aptify. In this company, projects demanded long hours, and it affected worker’s motivation and morale. So this company told their employees that they can take as many paid days off as they want. The second company is Wist Office Products. Their idea is 70 employees rotate and switch jobs with other employees. The job rotation not only helped when workers got sick, it also helped employee’s motivation. The third company is Point B Consulting. In this company, employees do not travel, and decide how many hours a week they wish to work every year. So, they offer a flexible schedule for their employees.
In the article "Combating Teacher Burnout", it talks about a teacher's life. The teachers have to meet regularly. They teach students, and share information. In the office, they correct homework. There is only a telephone on their desk, and an hour for lunch. The life is so simple, so, many teachers experience burnout. Young teachers give up the job at a rate 51% higher than older teachers and transfer to other schools at a rate 91% higher than older teachers. Burnout has become a big problem. As a result, Wharton School professor Adam Grant offers one approach he's calling "No alumni left behind". According to the article, "This give-back approach has the potential to expand exponentially with the support of new media, social networks, and available technology." I think that will really help teachers overcome the burnout.
Burnout has happened in my life, too. When I was a little boy, I studied hard and went to school every day, and was never absent. At the beginning, I felt interested, and I had motivation to do everything. I worked as a monitor, and all the teachers liked me very much. But, school life was similar every day. I went to school in the morning, had class for a long time, went home at 7:00 pm, took dinner, and did a lot of homework. I spent five or six years doing the same thing. I began to feel bored. I began to not want to do my homework. I did not want to go to school. I did not want to study anymore. Finally, I fell in burnout. I resigned the post as monitor of the class, and did not work hard anymore. After I immigrated to American, I thought I could overcome burnout because here, the classes are more interesting than before. I feel I want to have class again. And I hope I can rediscover motivation in my life.
Burnout happens anywhere and anytime. It will make you feel disillusioned, helpless, and incomplete. When you feel burnout, you will lose interest in everything. It is like a day without sun, the world is black and white in your eyes. Is it a troubling? Of course it is. So, that’s why I want to tell you how burnout affects your life. I hope everybody can understand burnout and prevent it.

workfare street cleaner
This profile is about Sandre White. He is a street cleaner. A street cleaner is someone who cleans up on the street. Their work is very hard and very hazardous to their health. When Sandre White was twenty-six, he had a beautiful job, but, he went on unemployment later. So he applied for a training session to become a street cleaner. They have to be at work every day from nine to three o’clock. They have to pick up the garbage and dead animals no matter the weather; when it rains, they can’t go to look for shelter. The boss wants them to work without any gear, gloves, or rain garments. They have to hang their lunch bags on the handles of the garbage cans. And there are no health and safety rules for anything. He also feels sad because some of his co-workers are really hard workers. Overall, Sandre White doesn’t like the work, but he is happy that the training is helpful to look for a job.
A couple of things surprised me about this profile. I was surprised about how cruel this work is. The supervisors are so bad to them. They pick up garbage and dead animals without any tools. They eat lunch that tastes like garbage. And they have to be there to do that work every day for a long time. This work is so harmful for their health.
This reminds me of something in my grandmother’s life. When she was young, her family was very poor. They almost had no food to eat because they didn’t have money. So, she tried to make some artwork to sell. She made beautiful boxes at day time, and made cross stitch at night time. The work was very hard and harmful to her eyes. But, she just kept doing it for her family. The situation is similar to the article; they both have a very hard and unhealthy work. But they don’t give up.
