Everybody knows that we should respect others. However, it appears that paparazzi care nothing about this sense. They chase after celebrities, stalk them and discredit the reputation of the famous.
No matter one is being chased or is chasing after another, it is a threat to one’s life. For instance, if one is driving on a road and paparazzi is running after him/her. It can be extremely dangerous not only for passengers but also for pedestrians. “I definitely think they go over the top. ...In the past it has been very dangerous to stalk celebrities -- Look at Princess Diana!” said Marla Gill, Yorba Linda from California. It would cause more damages to society if paparazzi keep going over the line.
Michael Fox, the famous actor said that the paparazzi tried to pose as doctors and nurses at the hospital where his wife was giving birth to their baby. What’s worse, they even attempt to snap a shot on celebrities’ private properties. Paparazzi do whatever it takes just to take a picture of the rich and the famous. It is likely that paparazzi do things that are more ridiculous. Gloria Pence, Irvine, from California presents,” I cannot understand how people can become so overly possessed with movie stars and their children. …Why give your thoughts or your attention to them. I say leave them alone to their privacy.” Indeed, I think what we need to pay attention to is celebrities’ public activity not their privacy.
There have been too many cases about how the press and media discredit the reputation of the famous. The well-known Taiwanese emcee Little S was reported to be violated by her husband. However, Little S said the report was not only a slander on her but also an injury to her reputation. In my opinion, writing something that is not true is harmful to people. In other words, it does no good to anybody and no help to society. S. Bishop, Brownwood, from Texas commented, “I get tired of the media thinking we really want to know all the details about the stars. They are just people. I like some of their movies or shows, but who cares about the individual actors.”
Though photograph and journalizing is the way paparazzi make a living, it is celebrities’ hope to give them some peace and quiet.

Rewrite: My first winter vacation in college
It is hard to imagine how fast time goes. My first winter vacation in college has past for weeks. However, I still miss the times I had during winter vacation. I had been working in a restaurant. Besides that, I had a good time hanging out with my friends to Sun Moon Lake and visiting my relatives in Taipei.
I started to work on the first day of Chinese New Year. Chinese prefer to get together on New Years Eve, so the restaurant was full of customers through opening hours. Though I was exhausted working for long period of time, I was glad to earn so much money. By the way, it happened to be my birthday this year. I thought nobody would remember my birthday. However, later on my friend came in the restaurant and surprised me. If I wasn’t working I would have given her a big hug. What’s more, my friends and I visited Sun Moon Lake this winter vacation. I drove for almost one hundred and fifty kilometers to Nanto and finally to our destination: Sun Moon Lake. We took a boat to another side of the Lake and had plenty of food made by native residents. The sights there were so breathtaking that we couldn’t say a word. I would love to visit there again once I get a chance. Last but not least, I went to Taipei to call on my relatives. When I arrived at Taipei, I took the MRT to Dunghu to meet my uncle and aunt. After that we went to Wego to have lunch with my grandmother and cousins. My aunt Nancy treated us with Ice Cream Hot Pot. It was the most delicious ice cream I have ever had.
Although I enjoyed this winter vacation very much, there seems to be something I had not done. I almost forgot to tell you; I'm an English major. Well, like what I said few days ago; I need to work on it or I will forget everything I have learned.My first winter vacation in college was indeed an unforgettable one.

My first winter vacation in college
It is hard to imagine how fast time goes. I spent most of my vacation working in the restaurant. I started to work from the first day of Chinese New Year; and it happened to be my birthday this year. I thought nobody would remember but later my friend came in the restaurant and gave me a surprise! If I wasn’t working I would have given her a big hug.
I had some fun during this winter vacation besides just kept working. It was really interesting to hang out with friends. Every time I go out with them I feel so relaxing and happy. I have been to Sun Moon Lake, night markets, and Taipei. It was my first time going back to my home town for the last nine years. When I arrived at Taipei, I took the MRT to Dunghu to meet my uncle and aunt. After that we went to Wego to have lunch with grandma and cousins. What’s more, we also went window shopping. However, that was not the sweetest part. My aunt Nancy treated us the ice cream hot pot. The most delicious ice cream I have ever had.
Although I enjoyed this winter vacation very much. There seemed to have something I had not done. I ignored the most important part! That would be my major-English. Well, like what I said few days ago; I need to work on it or I will forget everything I have learned.

New Semester
Well, this is not journal one. :D:D I just want to post an entry. I met so many classmates today. What can I say, well it was really nice to see everybody and you all look so um..shine. :D Oh and there is one more thing I just found out!! It really feels different to post journals on Lang8 because we all know that people who speak English will correct our journals!!! However I did post one, I need to learn from mistakes after all. ANd it seems that they are easy to "be with". !!!!!

It is one of the most popular national film after Cape No.7 I think. This Saturday! By the way, Chinese New Year Eve, is thar what it called?! :D People get together and have a big meal. This is the most welcome holiday for children because they get to get lots of lucky money for reletives! And we need to stay up with families. It is going to be fun!! lol
