At yesterday's extending reading I was start to read the fourth chapter of Freakconomics, and I felt it is filled with a lot of facts which is conflictive and contratry.
This chapter take parenting experts as a example: they usually choice to bold rather than restraining in order to catch your eyes. By using the fearmongering strategy, these experts seems to help parents doing the wrong decisions. The book provides so many comparable groups: guns and swimming pools; mad-coe disease and a common pathogen; and flying and driving. But fear can manipulate human emotion very well, therefore, most experts rely on it.
Not only how parents could bring up their children appropriately, but also how much do parents really matter has been asked in this chapter. For answering this radical question, the author reveal so many facts and data which reveal the shocking truth: parents matter just simply due to people hope it so.

Foxdale Reaction Post
This trip, in my personal view, is not the favorite optionfor me. Becasuse I don't have my interest in it, so I prefer to go to the local wilds and enjoy natrual environment. But it doesn't mean that I would like to underestimate the whole value of this trip. Surprisingly, I have met a good man, Mr. Oliver C. Goodman, who has told me something so interesting and meaningful.
It's amazing to have a conversation with Mr Goodman. He is a traditional American who alwyas keep manifesting and sticking to core value; family, honesty, hard working, and optimism. Moreover, he is in an excellent condition at both mental and physical health. When I asked how he keep fit and balance at this age, he told me that people have to keep your mind open and your soul happy. Well, I assumed that it's a easy task but he said," No, young man, there always have some tough days, and you're simply feel no hope." Swimming is a good advise for unhappy people, as he said, phycical exercise can improve your mental status, and, happy soul will provent your fresh away from sickness.
I think it's good approach to know about real America life. Indeed, any language student would benefit from this activity and enhance his or her capability of language.
