Undergraduate / Not only chemistry, but I'm also passionate in many other fields. My UBC Admissions Personal Profile [3]

1 Not only chemistry, but I'm also passionate in many other fields.The former part of this sentence has nothing to do with this topic.

For example, I love to exchange postcards from all over the world. It would be confusing whether you exchange postcards by travelling abroad yourself or from other countries,so I add a 'from'.

From this experience, I learned to see things in different perspectives.'This experience' actually has loose connection with 'I learned to see things in different perspectives'.

2 With the help of my team, I designed the experiment that applied as a high temperature alarm.

When ~~my team~~we finally operated our setting successfully, I was quite happy and satisfied.

At last, our experiment was acknowledged as one of the ~~top competitors the~~ most scientific ~~experiment~~ones.

Although it was my first year studying chemistry, also first time participating in Chemistry competition, ~~I had found my passion. Since then, I enjoyed chemistry more and studied harder.~~ I would say that this experience had undoubtedly influenced my view of science and helped me find my passion in chemistry.

3 When I was in Marketing class, I was asked to do a challenging project ~~that~~which is to make a comprehensive strategic marketing plan in two weeks.

It was not easy for me ~~at all~~ to finish such a professional project ~~at all~~ . What I did was ~~that~~ I ~~divided~~dividing the entire project into many small parts so that my progress would be clearly planned out.

Writing Feedback / The Function of Tax reflects in two aspects: in a country and individuals. [2]

As we all know, tax plays an important role in the running of the state. The function of tax reflects in two aspects, in a country and individuals.

In the state, tax ensures the security. When we are invaded by another country, we need strong army to protect us, and army and weapons cost a lot; when the domestic economy is in depression, the country needs to provide funding for stimulating the economy growing; when somewhere in the country needs to build infrastructure, the country gives money to these projects. And all of these come from the tax.

For individuals, tax provides us with a safety net, which means we never fall into a bad living situation. We have the least-standard money to keep us away from hunger or cold when we are out of work. We have health care and do not be afraid of going to hospital when we are sick. All of these come from the tax.

So I don't agree with people should keep all the money they earn and should not pay taxes to the state.

If a country having no tax, the country will be vulnerable and may be easily assaulted, because she has no weapon to protect herself. Then the country may disappear. When the country's gone, the people don't exist anymore, and the money holding in their hands just useless papers. So we pay tax not just for the state, but also for ourselves, it is the reason why we need to protect the tax policy.
