What I Did On My Holiday by Chrissie Manby
I can’t wait for this holiday. Sophie Sturgeon will have a perfect romantic holiday with Callum Wales. I had prepared the whole thing to be perfect as well as for the night before we head to Majorca. But Callum did not show up. He at last sent a text saying he will not come over. He wants a break up and he will not go to Majorca. I decided to hide in my flat. I can’t go by my own. But I need to look independence like how everyone in the office thought. Hannah and Alison, my officemates, emailed me every single detail about Callum at work.
Clare came as promised to look after my flat and water the plants. I was hiding behind my bedroom door. Clare came again on the second day. This time, I was hiding under my bed. I did not expect her to explore my bedroom and my closet. I can’t stand looking at her feet trying to fit in my new sacred Jimmy Choo’s. I came out from hiding and started explaining everything to her. Clare was suggested herself to join my hiding holiday.
Clare came out with our ‘holiday plan’. She came the day after with her whole giant luggage. What we didn’t expect is Evan wants a proof that she is safely in ‘Majorca’ after a day she ‘landed’ here. Clare with her great idea captured a photo with her phone from the website of the hotel I supposed to stay. Looks like everyone convinced with that photo.
Feeling stuffed, I opened the kitchen window to get a bit of fresh air and saw my backyard. It was one summer day with perfect sun in London. Clare made a beach on my backyard with 8 bags of sand and deckchairs as my birthday present. It really felt like at the beach after my neighbor’s children come to play along. It was my first time knowing my neighbor. Later, as Clare and I lay back in our deckchair, Clare saw smoke coming out from the flat above us. With Clare’s fast instinct, we saved the old lady and her flat from fire. This incident brought almost everyone together. Later on, all the

    I chose to walk in the garden as I know it was a place that Mrs B enjoyed being. So I took afternoon tea out into the summer house and asked if she would like a walk in the garden. We looked and chatted about the flowers as we walked to the summer house. We had afternoon tea listening to the birds and relaxing. I explained gently and in simple terms that we had had a phone call and unfortunately her friend had died. Mrs B said she was shocked but at least he had not suffered. We spoke briefly of how kind he had been to her and how much she would miss him. We chatted briefly and I asked Mrs B if she wanted time to herself. She said she did so I took her to her room. I asked if she needed anything and she said no she would be fine. I held her hand briefly, said I was sorry to hear her news and would pop back…

    In Godzilla’s Footprint, author Steve Ryfle begins by stating that the film Godzilla was not released to the Unites States until 2004, fifty years after the original release in Japan. Ryfle goes on to quote critics that were flabbergasted by the contrast of two films - the original Japanese film with its primitive special effects and recollection of the horrific aftermath of the atomic bombings, versus the re-cut, copy and pasted version showed to the United states as a monster-mash entertainment film.…

    The book I chose to read was “When I Say No, I Feel Guilty” by Manuel J. Smith. The first thing to stand out to me in this book was it seemed a little outdated. Even though the writing style and the examples appeared to be from a different era, I was still able to see how different points were relevant today and to me personally. This title screamed my name when I was browsing the list of choices because no matter what I am saying no to, I always feel guilty.…

    As I quietly sneaked out the back door of Monkey's house my heart began to beat a little faster and I felt somewhat anxious, but I kept on going toward Sarah's house. I remember walking in the thick, dark green St.Augustine grass in my aunt's yard that felt like cushioning under my Mary Jane shoes and looking carefully in every direction to make sure no one was watching me en route to my destination. As I approached Sarah's front yard I began to feel uneasy and a little afraid, but I kept my eyes on the prize and knew Sarah had gone to work. As I stepped on Sarah's lawn, my eyes darted back and forth to see if there were again any bystanders or cars coming down the street. The coast was clear so I nervously made my way through Sarah's front yard to the porch and walked up the front steps to the mailbox. I could see through the glass that the mailbox was stuffed with different sized envelopes with typed letters of the alphabet on them. I stretched forth my hand and gently opened the lid so it would not squeak any more than possible. With my other hand I picked up the envelopes decorated with important writing and carefully removed them from the glass mailbox. As I turned around, again my eyes quickly grazed the landscape to see if anyone had spotted me. I then ran down the front porch steps, through Sarah's front yard, back into Monkey's yard, and made my way to…

    Oda, Yamato and Tarohmaru in Chapter 6 analyze gender segregation in which the strength of occupational that differ across Japanese prefectures. Across many societies occupational segregation generally shows certain similarities. Men are more likely to get manual jobs, while women are more likely to get non-manual jobs than men. This gender segregation referred to as horizontal occupational. However, vertical segregation is a trend of vertical occupational, whereby women tend to get jobs with lower socioeconomic status compared to men. In addition, the development of gender segregated employment and lower pay for women industrial workers contributed to the employment policies adopted by both the state and employers from the 1960s onward ( Cheng and Hsiung 1998; Seguino 1997).

Back in the kitchen, she started to make herself a sandwich, then opened a bottle of wine instead, took it through to the sitting room and turned on the television. The six o’clock news was over; it was officially night-time, her drinking time, and she poured herself a glass.…

    In the essay “Communication: Its Blocking and Its Facilitation”, Carl R. Rogers, a famous psychotherapist, explains the importance of fully understanding people and looking at things in their perspective. He points out that the interrupt in communication arises mainly from our instinct to judge or to evaluate our opponents’ opinion, as well as from our emotional response. The way to overcome the barriers is to listen with understanding, which means “to see the expressed idea and attitude from the other person’s point of view, to sense how it feels to him, to achieve his frame of reference in regard to the thing he is talking about” (Carl R Rogers, p396). Sounds simple but not easy to do, this approach is the key leading to successful communication.…
