1.Fame——Good or Evil?
The advantages of being famous
Disadvantages
My attitude towards fame

Fame can allow individuals to gain the admiration and more respect from society. It also provides the person with spiritual satisfaction and pleasure. Nevertheless, when you chase after fame, you can’t escape the lure of fame and its promise of endless admiration, there is a heavy price one must pay for it. You must establish a good reputation and maintain positive relationships with others. In my view/opinion, fame can be a double-edged sword.

2. My Career Choice
The kind of job I prefer 
Factors you consider when choosing a job

Conclusion

I want to be a freelancer in the future. To be honest, it’s difficult for people to choose a career. The salary and my interests are all my important factors when choosing my career. I believe that ideally, it’s best for us to get a job that provides us with a good salary and also fulfills my passion/interests. However, being interested in the job is more important. If I choose a job with a good salary and I am not fond of it, I will upset/depressed and I don’t have the faith to perform well. On the other hand, if we get a job that pays well, maybe we will feel motivated to do the job because we are satisfied with the pay. We would become more self-confident and have more self-worth. In my point-of-view, being interested is more important. But, whether we like our future job or not, we should first, cultivate the passion we have for our career-choice when we are certain with what we will do in the future.

3.Healthy Lifestyles
(Your understanding of a healthy lifestyle、The advantages of living a healthy lifestyle
And Ways to develop a healthy lifestyle)

From my perspective, a healthy lifestyle not only refers to a balanced diet and regular timetable in daily life, but also having a simple and positive mind on a spiritual level. To some extent, the latter is more important even though the two are complementary. Because humans are always worried about the impact of everything in the world so it affects their mood and regular lives.
So how do we develop a healthy lifestyle? Firstly, we should eliminate ideas that are not important. We’re left with the essentials. Next, focus on your main purpose and re-use what you already own. These two ways aim to simplify your life and concentrate on what you really need, I think the next step such as getting sufficient rest and having a balanced diet take place successfully when you acquire a healthy mind.
