　　人最难的不是跟别人讨教经验，最难的是把别人的经验听进去，并应用到实践当中。(The most difficult thing is not to ask for advice, but listen to the advice and practise it.)
　　自己读大学的时候，不知道辅修什么专业，打电话回家。爸爸努力帮我打听了一番，姑姑（有点远的亲戚）说法律很好，这个很有前途。我却选择了会计。
　　如果我选择了法律，并且坚持下去，那在这几年强烈需要法律知识、强烈意识到法律的重要性的时候，我就会有底很多。

　　10 Practical Tips on Good English Writing
　　1. Think clearly before you write. Only when you can think clearly can you write an article with clear logic and reasoning.
　　2. Narrow down your topic to the one that you can handle within your capabilities and required word limit.
　　3. Write in the voice of an adult.
　　4. Use a clear structure and develop the paragraph by your argumentation methods.
　　5. Use details and facts.
　　6. Avoid using the same word to begin each sentence. Though repeated beginning sometimes can create a parallel structure and certain atmosphere, it may also have the risk of dulling/boring readers. For beginners of English writing, this tip is especially useful and helpful.
　　7. Use different sentence structures (compound sentences, complex sentences, special structures like inversion).
　　8. Make good use of transitional words.
　　9. In selection of words, use the more precise or accurate one.
　　10. Make a natural ending. The concluding sentence is not a must. Let the paragraph end smoothly and naturally.
