Young generation shines in Taipei Arts Awards
I think this kind of activity that they select art works in the museum to exhibit provides a great opportunity for modern young people. Through this good chance, many youngsters can bring their skills and talent of art into full play. There are no restrictions on types of art so that the art scope can gain new vitality and freedom of art works. Nowadays, many young people that don’t show their talent before begin to emerge in the art field. Although some of them are not professional artists, they are still good at expressing themselves through art. In my opinion, they are outstanding artists because they have courage to use contemporary art to convey their inner thinking that might not be accepted by people in this society. With the determination, they also can be active in this vast range.
I think this society can provide larger space for them to communicate with outside world by their unique perspective. The new generations usually have fresh and special versions but sometimes they do have proper ways to spread out their innovative ideas and imagination. Art can truly reflect people’s thoughts and reality in the hearts. When we see art works, they can not only show the creative power but also inspire our imagination that may be boundless. In addition, from the art works, we can see artists’ voice, persistence, enthusiasm, and plentiful essence. The art can spark the spirit and vitality of artists in a miraculous manner that we might not imagine before. There are no standards to judge whether the works are excellent or terrible. As far as I am concerned, the art is the communication of our souls and spirits and can touch us to evoke vibration. (287 words)

Tobacco Hazard Prevention Act amendment takes effect in Taiwan next January 11
Smoking really does great harm to human being’s body. Many people think they are lucky enough so the chance of being damaged by smoking will not happen on them. It is this mindset that will lead them to the hell of poor health. But when they find the terrible situation, it is almost the last moment to compensate for their health. So why can’t they understand this important concept at first and put it into practice? Then, the crucial factor is their determination to carry through the goal.
The smoke also has a significant effect on others who are around them. When they inhale the harmful smoke into the body, it will directly strike against the organs. In spite of the small amount of smoke each time, but it will cause the damage when the frequency accumulates for a long period. The operation of functions will gradually be hurt under the condition that you are not conscious. Especially, when this behavior happens in the indoor space, the consequence can’t be imagined at regular view. Moreover, there are many people having the habit of smoking in Taiwan.
