                                           Peanut butter, Jelly, Honey Sandwich
           Have you ever made a peanut butter, jelly, and honey sandwich? It is a good meal. You can make it in a few minute; and you do not need to work in the kitchen because you do not cook it, you just make it. By 1920, the sandwiches became popular, especially for military men, because they often went on long trips to train for war and they needed food which they could keep fresh for long trips, and was easy to make, that was why they chose peanut butter, jelly and honey sandwich. Furthermore, in 1950, the sandwiches became a favorite food for mothers to make a fast breakfast for their kids before school because they could save their time; they do not have to work in the kitchen. Today, I will show you how to make a peanut butter, jelly, honey sandwich. To make it, you should have a knife, paper plate, and napkin. There are some ingredient you must have to make it-- peanut butter, jelly, honey, and bread.
           First, you will use the peanut butter. As you know, peanut butter comes from peanuts. First of all, they mash the peanuts and then mix it with butter. We have two kinds of peanut butter, creamy and crunchy. Now, take out two pieces of bread; then, use the knife to spread the peanut butter on both pieces of the bread. After that, you should use napkins to wipe your knife before using it for another ingredient. For this sandwich, it is better to use creamy peanut butter. If you use crunchy to make it, the peanut might make a hole in your bread and everything inside will flow out.
           Second, you will use jelly. Jelly is made from fruits, and it is sweet and sticky. There are two popular kinds of jelly in the US, crape and strawberry, but in other countries we have lots of kinds of jelly, and you can choose any kind you like to make this sandwich, it is up to you. Now, open the jelly and squeeze some in the middle of one piece of the bread or you can use the clean knife to take some jelly and then spread it on your bread. Do not put too much jelly on your bread. If you do, it will flow out when you eat it.
           Finally, use honey to make your sandwich better than ever. Honey is made from bees; they absorb from the pistil and then produce honey. It has a yellow color and it is very sweet and sticky. In some other countries, people use honey to make lots of food and drinks. In China, people mix honey with tea to drink. It is really good for people’s health; it is also use to cure people’s ailments like a drug. Now, open your honey bottle and squeeze a bit in the middle of one side of your bread. Honey is good for people’s health but just in small amount. If you put lots of honey on your sandwich, it will flow out when you eat it, and also it will make your sandwich too sweet and that is not good for your health.
           Now, you should put another piece of bread on the top of the other, which already has jelly and honey on it, and then use the knife to cut right down the middle of your sandwich and enjoy it. In conclusion, as I told you before, a peanut butter, jelly, and honey sandwich is a good meal, and you spend just a few minute to make it. People are working every day, so cooking after work is terrible thing for them. If you are too tired and lazy to cook after work, you can make this sandwich for your dinner, too. It is cheap, convenient, and you can save your time because you do not need to cook it.

                                                  Something People Might Regret
Alcohol is an important thing for parties. People drink alcohol when they are happy or sad. When they are happy, they drink alcohol as celebration. When they are sad, they drink alcohol as relaxation. However, so many people around the world die every year because of liver cancer and car accidents. The main reason for these terrible things is alcohol. Drinking alcohol causes many problems such as diseases, crimes, and accidents.
In the first place, people love the feeling gave by alcohol. They feel like they are flying. However, drinking alcohol causes many diseases, such as eyes problem and liver cancer. As people know, the liver is an important organ in human bodies. It helps clean and take out poison inside their bodies as a filter. When people drink a lot of alcohol and for a long time, their livers might get into trouble. Sadly, they can get liver cancer. For example, if people drink too much alcohol for about ten years, their livers can get some problems but it is not dangerous yet. On the other hand, if they keep drinking alcohol, their livers problems will increase and may lead them cancer. In addition, excessive drinking can cause eye problems. The eyes movement of the people who had excessive drinking is slower than the others (nystagmus). The weakness and paralysis or their eyes happen because lack of vitamin B-1 (www.mayoclicnic.org).
Next, alcohol can lead people into crimes. The highest rate of criminal problem from drinking alcohol is domestic violence. When people are drunk, they cannot control their brains. As a result, they can easily get angry or annoyed. It may lead people into fighting with their partners or others. Moreover, if people go to somewhere for parties or banquets and then driving back home, it is really dangerous because they are maybe drunk driving. Furthermore, if people get caught by police officers because of drunk driving they will have big problems such as DUI and DWI.  The police officers can take their car away and can put those drivers into prison because drunk driving is dangerous for other peoples. Moreover, if people have a DUI or DWI problem, they will hard to find a good job. It also called felony criminal record.
Nearly 13000 people are killed each year because of drunk driving. Drunk driving is a major cause of car accidents and motorcycle accidents. Alcohol-related crashes cost American taxpayers over $100 billion. People cannot control their brain when they are drunk, they also cannot pay attention on the road, and their react with danger is slower than normal. It also makes people fall asleep while they are driving. Therefore, when people are drunk, driving becomes dangerous and it is probably lethal. They risk their lives and also they risk other people lives with drunk driving. When they are drunk, their muscle coordination is poor, such as speech, hearing, and reaction. It’s harder to detect danger and judgment. Their memories are impaired, resulting in reduced concentration, such as loss of speed control and impaired perception (www.ncadd.org).
To conclude, people should be aware of the dangers in alcohol. It is a main reason people get into trouble. Drinking alcohol excessively may cause liver cancer and eyes problems. People get angry or annoying easily when they are drunk; they cannot control themselves, so they can do something that leads them to criminal problems. Even worse, drunk driving is a terrible thing because people can get killed by car accidents or go to the jail if they get caught by police officers.  At last, people better avoid something instead of regret it late. If people want to quit their drinking habits, Alcoholics Anonymous group, which is called AA group, can help them. They have twelve steps to help people stop drinking alcohol.
