    Now, almost everybody knows the hottest English word "selfie". Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according to the Oxford (牛津) online dictionary. People usually take selfies with a smart phone and send them to Wechat (微信) or Qzone (QQ 空间).

    "Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone," said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.

Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping  14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. "She has used many selfies to tell us about her life and work," said Li.

    What makes people love selfies? Some people say it's narcissism (自恋). "The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. We're crying out: Look at me!" said US psychiatrist(精神科医生) Carole Lieberman.

    Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in the Guardian. (《卫报》) "The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others," wrote Freedland.

    Huang Xu agrees with that. “During the summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each other's holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.

    I entered a university after years of hard study. I thought my life would be full of happiness and knowledge. But my life in the university is not as what I had expected. Then I became lazy and silent, even puzzled (困惑). I don't know what my future would be like.

    Four years in the university is only a short period. And a half of it has passed already. This year, many people, such as my parents and my friends, asked me what I wanted to do, and they all told me to make a plan for my life with their thought. I don't want to take their advice. I want my own style. So I think carefully.

    I have been a young volunteer for five years. It has been a happy time and it is a big thing for me. Then I have a dream to join the University Student Volunteer Go West Program. I think I can be a teacher in the west. I would like to devote my life to helping the children there. I want to make the world a better place for them. To make it come true, I will work harder in the next two years. There is an old saying "Where there is a will, there is a way". I think my dream will come true in the near future.

    At last, I want to say to everybody, "Try your best to realize your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dream may not be smooth and wide. Even there are some difficulties you will face. But hold on to the end, you can find there is no greater happiness than making our dream come true."
