“You better watch out , you better not cry ~ ” Santa Clause is coming to town ! The cheerful melody is around the streets , telling everyone the pleasant season is coming soon. People decorated there houses with beautiful Christmas tree and shining light . Besides, they write cards to their friends or their love. Children look forward to Santa Clause’s gifts. Most of us like Christmas ,which brings us happiness with friends and family in the end of the year . However, not everyone in the world can enjoy the happy atmosphere as well . Many people still suffer from poverty or starvation .There is no doubt that celebrating Christmas is impossible to them.

I think the activity is very friendly and beneficial. It can not only get people together but also remind us of sharing warmth to those in misfortune . It is good to celebrate Christmas and do the charity at the same time . I think that people will pay more attention on them . Besides, we should feel content about what we have. However, they should be cared not just on special days . It’s necessary to care and help them as often as you can. Making them feel every day is happy Christmas! (210words)

Taiwan's Ma urges support for Japan-themed movie in China
My Reaction:

The movie "Cape No. 7", which has broke the record amazingly . It has become the hightest selling Chinese-language in Taiwanese movie history. There is a great mass great mass fervor during this time . Almost everyone in Taiwan has seen the movie . Besides, the movie is in theaters now in almost three months . This is really a miracle to Taiwanese movie because before "Cape No. 7" the Taiwanese movies are unexpected to Taiwanese people . However, "Cape No. 7" made the surprising record and everyone who has seen the movie is impressed by that very much . After watching the film, I was touched by the story and the beautiful music . As a Taiwanese , I am really proud of the movie .

Therefore , I think such a good movie is need to be shared to the world, impressing more people . The movie is not only regarding love and music but also mentioning dream, encouraging people to spare no effort to realize it .Such a positive movie should not be interpreted politically. China’s attitude to the movie is so limited and not considerate . They delay its release on the mainland just because the anti-Japan sentiments . I think their attitude should be wider and not just live in the bias . Also, the film gives the chance to China people to know more about Taiwan . They surely can find out the passion of Taiwanese people in the movie . (247words)
