introduction

Nowadays, information run faster than before, so children know more than before. In the mean time, children have been anticipated more. Parent-children role reversal makes children deal with things they don't need to go through now, which will occur in their life some day. However, parents are longing to see their children do more than they should be at their age. It has many bad impacts on children's life with following reasons.

Restaurant

Yesterday when I ate at a restaurant, I saw an interesting story. A couple was talking and eating happily. Suddenly, the guy found a fly on the plate. He shouted to the waiter what that was,  what wrong is with that .The waiter went to that table. Then the guy pointed at the waiter’s chest and said he had to explain that. The lady who came with him tried to stop him, but he didn’t listen. He stood up and screamed he was not gonna pay the bill ,the waiter would lose his job.Everybody in the restaurant stared at them. The waiter felt angry and speechless. He took off the apron and said that he quit. the lady said that was embarrassed.she gotta go home.Then she left.

reading journal #2

 The article "Forget the Treadmill. Get a Dog." by TARA PARKER-POPE  shows people have dog are more physically active than others who don't have dog  or don't walk with their dogs . Many researchs also prove that , people  walk more with a dog , they do more walking exercise when they're  accompanying with a dog than people . A research especially point out ,  dog walking are highest among the young and educated people .

I like many sentences of  last the paragraph,such as “They help themselves by helping the dog,”,“If we’re committed to a dog, it enables us to commit to physical activity ourselves.”.Walking a dog it not like a job ,it should be a relaxed thing to go out with pets. As the sentences say, dogs help you too.

About the dislike part , i didn't actually find it . As a simple research article ,it offers the information and data from the researchs . All the information the author gave us is supporting the main idea . If i don't believe a part of it , the whole article would be a gibberish for me . If that happened ,it would be esay to find the dislike part .


leisure   :   free time 
 He helps people at  his leisure .
leash    :  a piece of leather rope for a dog .
 Put a leash on your dog .
moderate      : not very hot or very cold ,not very fast or very slow .
walking is  a moderate exercise .
vigorous   :  using a lot of  energy
 This old man is vigorous at the age of 70.
comparison   :  comparing two or more things
 In comparison with last game , this one is sort of boring .

 In comparison with the other two articles ,this article is more interesting and attractive . It brings some new ideas which come from many researchs . Author gather them and show us  dog has a big impact on people's daily exercise . We are used to having  dogs ,but we don't exactly know what kinds of benefits they give to us.Owner will get more rewards if they treat dogs well .What is more , helping owner with exercise is beyond the duty of being a dog .
