Paparazzi

Nowadays, we can know more and more love affairs or scandals about famous figure form newspaper, magazines……etc. That news is reported by paparazzi. What is paparazzo? It means reporter take idols, political figure or famous figure picture stealthily. Some people think paparazzi don’t have any contribution for us. However, some people think paparazzi are good for society. There are advantage and disadvantage about paparazzi.

What is advantage about paparazzi? For instance, if an idol is drunk or fights with someone and reported by paparazzi, through paparazzi, the idol may remind him/her to quit the bad habit. As for us, everyone is curious. People want to know anything about famous figure. In order to satisfy common people’s curiosity, paparazzi need to trace in private. When people realize the truth, they issue what they found out.

Nevertheless, what is disadvantage about paparazzi? This job is very difficult and hard. Paparazzi need to spend much time on working. They should be very careful to trace any case. Sometimes, the news may be not true what they found. It is different from person to person. For celebrities, for example, they are intruded into their privacy. It is angry for them.

A person said, “I think the paparazzi go over the top, but who is to blame should be the question asked. The paparazzi couldn't exist if it weren't for the fans desperately panting to get a glimpse of their favorite celebrity. And what about the celebrities themselves? They want the attention when they are new to the business, but once they are established, they cry about it. They can't have it both ways.” by K. Marciano, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

For me, I don’t know if paparazzo is a good vocation, because I sometimes also want to know more things about celebrities. If more and more people don’t want to more things about celebrities, paparazzi may reduce. Therefore, celebrities can have more privacy.

My first winter vacation in college

This is my first winter vocation in college. I knew many new friends last semester and got along well with my friends. As a result, in the begging, I didn’t want to have winter vocation because I didn’t know what to do at home and it was too boring to stay at home. Therefore, my university friends had planed to visit Kaohsiung before the winter vocation. In February 3, we assembled at Taichung train station. Then, we took bus to Kaohsiung. When we arrived Kaohsiung, we felt very hot. Although it’s very hot, we were very excited. We visited a lot of famous scenic spot by MRT. After we played for all day long, we got very tired; consequently, we decided to go back to hotel to rest. In the room, we gave a surprise to Alva and Eric to celebrate their birthday. We played a game until 4:00 am after giving them surprise. Although we went to bed very lately last night, we were still excited next day. When we came back Taichung, somebody suggested going to Yamay someday. So, we went to not only Kaohsiung but also “Yamay”. We played very crazy at there and had a good time. I think I had a happy winter vocation apart from Lunar New Year.
