The Effects of an Invention or Innovation in Modern Life. (Final)

One of the most important inventions of the 20th centenary is the credit card. The credit card was invented by Mr. Mikenamala from Manhattan in 1950. The first bank which issued credit cards is VISA and it's the biggest credit card bank now. One advantage of credit cards is that we don't have to carry lots of cash, so we don't have to be afraid of seeking an amount of money when we need them. Second, we can get extra bonus with credit cards. Third, using credit cards can make the store owners feel safe. They can avoid using a large number of cash. Therefore, it is a way to protect these stores.

We will be embarrassing if we don't have enough money to pay a dinner, but now we don't have to worry about it because of credit cards. On the other hand, we can use credit cards adding fuel to our cars, buying clothes, buying a car, shopping etc... What's more, if we don't have enough money, we can borrow money from the bank with our credit cards. However, it's not ideal because the interest is very high.

Getting bonus from banks is also an advantage with the use of credit cards. Banks use bonus to attract more people to use their credit cards. In addition, some banks provide cheaper price for us to go to a movie or add fuel. When using credit cards, some banks will offer us some “credits". We can exchange merchandise with the “credits”.

Credit cards can make the store owners feel safer because they don't have to keep lots of cash which they get from the customers. Therefore, it can avoid robbing or reducing the damage when a robbery occurs. What's more, they can save the time in taking the money to the bank every day.

Certainly, there are more advantages of using credit cards. Banks improve the safety design of credit cards. They use chips to reduce fake cards now. Credit cards appear in lots of occasions. And I wish that we can carry no cash in the future.

Compare and contrast living at home and in the dormitory. (Final)

I live in the dormitory. Before I went to university, home was where I live. When talking about home or dormitory, there are pros and cons for both. And I like to live in the dormitory more than at home. The differences between home and the dormitory are convenience, cost, comfort, freedom, and the attitude toward studying. First, it is more convenient to live at home than in the dormitory. This is because mom or dad can take care of all the things I need. I do not have to do them by myself. For example, the foods and the clothes. My mom is a housewife so I never worry about eating. But now, if I want to eat lunch or dinner, I have to go outside. And I worry about what I should eat a lot. At home, I got everything I need for studying or daily life by my mom. Now I have to solve them by myself. Under this kind of condition, the cost of living at home is lesser than that of in the dormitory. My mom cook every day so I needn't eat outside. On the other hand, I can save money at eating. That was the same that I didn't need to spend my own money at clothes or the articles for daily use. What is more, living at home is more comfortable because living in the dormitory, I need to care about other roommates whether my music or talking is too loud. I feel pressured in the dormitory because I am not familiar with roommates. Nevertheless, unlike living at home, I have much freedom living in the dormitory. At home, if I want to go outside, I had to tell my mom. And she always asked me what time will I be back. But now in the dormitory no one restricts me anymore. I can do anything at will. When it comes to study, for me, I study harder at home than in the dormitory. I think it is because Mom urged me to do that. I am the only one who urges me to study hard in the dormitory. On the other hand, I can have fun in the dormitory and without anyone controlling me. I studied every single day at home, but now I study only before the tests. I like to live in the dormitory mostly because I have much freedom in the dormitory. Although living at home is much better than living in the dormitory in many ways. I like the happy atmosphere in the dormitory.
