#5 Is tourism harmful?

1. objective (n.) something that you plan to do or achieve

ex. Her main objective now is simply to stay in power.

2. restriction (n.) an official limit on something

ex. The president urged other countries to lift the trade restrictions.


The article is talking about some cities are putting restrictions on the tourists who visit.
I think this may be a good way for those residents who want to respect their beautiful and historic sites and also want to improve the life of the city.  The tourists should know how to respect the sites.  If our hometown’s beautiful and historic sites are not respected or even destroyed by the foreign tourists, what should we do?

#4 Working for free

1. establish (v.)  to start a company or organization that will continue for a long time

ex. These methods of working were established in the last century.

2. mobility (n.)  the ability to move freely or be easily moved

ex. Some neck injuries cause total loss of mobility below the point of injury.



In my opinion, I think everyone should be offered a salary by the company or the employer.  In this generation, doing an internship is a good way before we stand a chance of getting first full-time job.  Although we are still the students, we should be offered a salary or even the minimum wage by the company.  Although we are doing an internship, we all need to be paid to live.
And everyone is equal in this society.  No matter what kind of family you were born, all of us should have the same chance to get the job.

#3 Recommend a sad song

Halsey - You Should Be Sad 


It is a song recorded by an American singer Halsey. 
It was released on January 10th 2020.  
It is a country and pop ballad which features lyrics about a breakup and an unfaithful ex-boyfriend.
Although it is not very sad song, I like this song’s tempo and her voice.




lyrics:
I wanna start this out and say
I gotta get it off my chest
Got no anger, got no malice
Just a little bit of regret
Know nobody else will tell you
So there's some things I gotta say
Gonna jot it down and then get it out
And then I'll be on my way
No, you're not half the man you think that you are
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you
Oh, I feel so sorry
I feel so sad
I tried to help you
It just made you mad
And I had no warnin'
About who you are
I'm just glad I made it out without breakin' down
And then ran so fuckin' far
That you would never ever touch me again
Won't see your alligator tears
'Cause, no, I've had enough of them
Let me start this off by sayin'
I really meant well from the start
Take a broken man right in my hands
And then put back all his parts
But you're not half the man you think that you are
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, girls and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you
Oh, I feel so sorry (I feel so sorry)
I feel so sad (I feel so sad)
I tried to help you (I tried to help you)
It just made you mad
And I had no warnin' (I had no warnin')
About who you are ('bout who you)
Just glad I made it out without breakin' down
Oh, I feel so sorry (I feel so sorry)
I feel so sad (I feel so sad)
I tried to help you (I tried to help you)
It just made you mad
And I had no warnin' (I had no)
About who you are ('bout who you)
'Bout who you are
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
'Cause you're not half the man you think that you are
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, drugs and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you
I feel so sad
You should be sad
You should be
You should be sad
You should be
You should be
You should be
