Good place to study




View Larger Map
After school, students should have a nice place for group study. There are many places to go study. Our recommend place for students is Tapioca Express.
First of all, they have comfortable environment for guests. Such as, beautiful plants around in the restaurant, the lighting and music accompany us that feel like we are almost at home. They also have many different nice clean tables and chairs. In addition, they have perfect facility for study to use. One of it is the fast free internet so that you can do research paper quicker. Another is useful reading book at the corner. You can read them whenever you want. Also, if you are very thirsty you can buy different favors Tapioca drinks or snacks. Finally, in order to improve our English skills. We can start a conversation with the Americans. Plus we can meet new friends here.
In conclusion, there are many good places around the areas. Just need to keep your eyes open for different surrounding because some places it can be very small. In my opinion, I think Tapioca Express is the best place for group study.

save money














Since last year, the economy system has been weaker than before and the financial crisis has occurred in stock markets and some business entities. In general, it affects both organizations and individuals. The value of money has decreased. We also can call this inflation. We can’t buy the same quantity of goods as we used to. Therefore, we need to plan ahead about what we are going to spend in order to control our own financial situations. The U.S economy is bad right now, so we need to know how to manage our money wisely and spend it on the right spot.
First of all, I notice a lot of people like to eat out at fancy restaurants with their colleagues, friends and families. It won’t hurt if we eat out once or twice each month. However, a lot of people don’t really realize this. In contrast, we can socialize at home and invite friends to come over. If we can cook more often at home, we can save quite a lot of money. Second, there are a lot of people like to travel during holiday seasons. Instead of traveling to somewhere far away, we can make some fun plans around neighborhood area. For example, we can do road trips which are about one or two hours away from home and visit some towns and new places. Also, we can rent movies and play video games. Instead of spending money on plane tickets, hotels and rental cars, we can spend less on home entertainment and still have a lot of fun. Also, we can try to save money on energy costs. For example, we should switch off the lights once we left a room. We also can turn down the temperatures on heat if the weather is not that cold.
In conclusion, there are so many different ways to save money in our daily life. It is a good warning for everybody. If we plan ahead and control our wants of buying new stuff which is not needed, I believe this will make life easier and make us start having a money saving habit.

Bookstore back office





View Larger Map

Bookstore back office is an important part in Pasadena City College. It is where teachers and students buy their class material. Firstly, instructors send their adoption form to bookstore staff, let them know how much will be needed to order for the semester. Secondly, bookstore staffs need to order text books and collect all kinds of used books before the next semester start. The bookstore staffs need to check each used books, and then make a new price for each book. Also, the bookstore staffs sort the new and used books in the bookshelf. It is hard for bookstore staff to prepare before each semester starts. Finally, a good financial management is important to support bookstore circulate. They have to calculate each day total spending and profit. In short, bookstore back office is a small place; however it is important for the teachers and students.

Fast Food Restaurants




1. obesity
2. unhealthy food
3. bad service
Fast Food Restaurants
It is a good idea to ban fast food restaurants. The fast food restaurants make a lot of bad food is hurt for our body, if people eat too much. First of all, if people eat fast food every day, they get a high rate of obesity. Fast food has a lot of bad calories, if people have many of these bad calories, they will get fat. Fast food restaurants around us and people can get food very easy and fast, they don’t need walk and exercise, they will get fat. Next, in these restaurants, they use a lot of oil to fry food, and they use this oil again and again until it gets burned, so if people eat too much of this food, they will feel bad. Sometimes they are going to get cancer, for the food is unhealthy. They always cook the food and put it away until people order it. They just cook a little time to make it hot. It isn’t fresh food. Finally, they don’t have good service for people to have a meal. They want people have order their food very fast and eat very quickly, because they can make more seats for people. They don’t care about your feel to enjoying your meals. In summary, I think banning fast food restaurants will the most important thing in the future so people will has good health. I hope in Los Angeles do not have many fast food restaurant anymore.
