I am optimism. I always believe that every problem has a solution. But I also believe “bad luck” really exists.
A good example happened on my trip to New York this winter break. I still remembered, with an excited heart, I went to the airport. On the way, the thought “the plane may delay” was always in my mind. Then as expected, it happened. All planes delay. It took me almost twelve hours to New York.
However, bad luck usually comes incessantly. Before going to New York, I heard the news says that the New York subway workers are going to strike. My uncle, who lived in New York more than fifteen years, told me this never happened before, so I think this situation won’t happen. Tragically, it really happened. That day, I had to move out from one hotel to another. I carried my big luggage walked from the 112th street to the 4th street. I rarely hope someone can give me a ride, because I was in New York not in Russellville. When I was proud of crossing more than one hundred streets, my feet got hurt.Murphy’s Law, if anything can go wrong, it will, was proved. Even though, I am not so hate the bad luck. It can relieve the importance of good luck.

Why People Use Slang?
Slang exists in all kinds of language. Not only English has slang, but also Chinese has a lot of slang. I think the main reason just like this article mentioned, people are individuals who desire uniqueness. Slang always has metaphoric meaning. It can be secret so young people like to use slang to show that they belong to a certain group.
Someone may criticize the use of slang, believing that it is informal language. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter the language itself. It depends on the person who uses slang. Shakespeare often used slang and his writing became literature. Slang can properly express someone’s thought. You may find that sometimes you use a lot of sentence still couldn’t express your thought, but slang could. Don’t you think so?
