“It is amazing great news” I said to all my friends.
“What?” is the first word they would spit out with astonished mood. I always know that they consider me as an endocentric guy who never speaks like that. But I don’t care or actually it is a real response I’m waiting for.
“Justin Timberlake will be in London for his itinerant show. You know he is my favorite singer, oh, no; my superstar should be the very word. But I still don’t know how to get a ticket.” I said so many words enthusiastically to fight against their astonished mood.
“I think it is easy for you to get a ticket. You always can reach the goal you want to, right?” responded my friend earnestly.
“Surely, Ticket is a piece of cake. But what I am worried about is what kind of gift I should present to him. You know it is a rare chance to present something to my superstar. Any advices?” I throw my question to them.
“Cool but not expensive”
“Useful and simple”
“Necessity and make him more handsome”
“Healthy and exquisite”
…
“Sounds great, but what is it? Does it exist or not? ”I interrupted in and asked sincerely.
A sudden silence covered us. I think it’s really difficult to work out something when the inspiration escapes from you and there are many options to choose.
“Some daily used objects are good. Watch, lace, sunglasses or… ”
“What?” interrupted by my words “the item after lace is…” a sudden idea was inspired by the suggestion of my friend.
“sungla…”
“Right, sunglasses” my re-interruption made my friend swallow the letters he wanted to intonate.
“I think sunglasses, as a gift will be fantastic idea. Ok, that is the final decision” triggered by my friend’s inspiration, and decision finally made. A pair of sunglasses is defined as the great present to my long-cherished superstar.
“But, another question — how to get one as expected? You know we are too busy to squeeze time to find a very one from one shop to another” my question silenced all at present again because they have all ability to smooth anything but to squeeze time to do what they like.
“It is easiest thing on the earth” one of my other friends said suddenly with mysterious expression “I will tell you on one condition that, help me get a ticket, ok?” he gained the rare chance to ask for condition which I was forced to agree.
“Go ahead.” permission was taken as granted to give.
“Why not search on Internet? It is time-saving, available at anytime and with great resources. ” replied my lovely friend excitedly and never found me having surfed on Internet.
Then I input sunglasses in Google search bar. And finally I found thousands of E-shop. After comparing these shops from price, style, service and client’s comments, I aimed at two E-glasses shops—Glassesshop.com and Visionsking.com, and sent them to my friends for recommendation. With the help of my dear friends, I finally chose one named Calhoun which has a classic frame with fantastic streamline and dark black lenses reflecting the sunlight greatly… in a word, great lenses I have ever found before.
“Cool” “I like it” are the words I was expecting when I would give it to my superstar. And I also can imagine that occasion that Justin Timberlake wear the sunglasses I sent him and sings our favorite songs with dancing. I would be great and I sincerely expected that occasion.

The life of Middle America usually is described like this: they live in the suburb and have a house of 2~4 rooms (divided payment). They have 2 or 3 kids, a dog, 2 cars (one made in Japan, the other made in America, divided payment). The grasses in the garden are pruned orderly. The husband goes out and works hard everyday. The wife raises their children and does housework at home. They sign out more than 15 bill checks immediately when they got their salary. They love watching talk show. At the weekends, they borrow two video tapes and watch them with Coca Cola and popcorn. They make the Christmas tree every day and both the husband and the wife are gaining weight.
For Middle American, the payments of every month in their daily life are not difficult. The 3 most difficult things are: 1. Buying house. 2. Support their children to go to university. 3. Live a decent retired life.
A house of Middle American usually cost $75,000~$200,000. They usually pay them divided in 30 years and add to 7%~8% interests. For education, a kid born in 2000 may need $180,000 to study in public university and more than $300,000 if he will study in private university like Harvard and Stanford. For a Middle American couples who earn ordinary salary, if they want their life keep the standard before their retirements, they will no doubt need hundreds of thousands money in their deposit.
With all these goals of life of Middle American, no one feel he is rich enough. Unlike the middle classes in Russia, they seldom enjoy their holiday aboard. They can’t use more than half of their salary to enjoy a couple of days’ fun. Instead, they live a careful life of every penny. Dads are working hard to earn more bonuses for their family.

As people say, it is not easy to study abroad, especially for girls. However I still choose to study abroad, because I want to seize the opportunity to know the outside world by myself. Even though I have the family support, spiritual support as well as material support, I still realize I should save money as much as I can. Therefore I have my part-time job, which not only helps me adapt to the local life as soon as possible, but also provide some money to buy the goods I want. But particularly under the financial crisis, there are some methods to save money I conclude as an overseas student.
Thanks to my mother who taught me cooking, I can have meals at home, which saves me much money.
I am surprised at the price of the textbook in the United States. The price of the textbook in the United States is about three times higher than that of China. Universities of the United States rarely ask the students to buy books from the bookstore of the university. You can buy the second-hand books. When buying the second-hand books, you should pay more attention to the version of the books because the books update quickly in the United States.
When choosing the place to live in, you should not only check the price, more important, you should focus on the safety of the place you want to live in. You should make sure the zone is safe and there are few robbery and theft.
Supermarkets of the United States have different promotional activities almost every day, such as buy one get one free, this is also one of the effective way to save money. You should also take advantage of the coupon of the supermarket.
When buying the flight ticket, you fist call to the travel agent to ask if there are some discounts, sometimes you will get certain surprise. Therefore when you miss the home so much, you can save money to go home.
When I study in the home country, I like online shopping, which is a fashionable way for me, while in the United States, especially under the financial crisis, I buy more goods through online shopping, for example few days ago, I bought a pair of prescription glasses from www.glassesshop.com, with the coupon code I enjoyed 10% discount, the total price was $48, which was much cheaper than that of the retail optical shops.
This is my experience in the United States as an overseas student, which may be not conformed to your own situation; it is only for your reference.

Summer is coming near to us. All of us have already got out of our heavy coats and put on light garments. Many of us are timid to show up. How is that? The belly is poping out, for a lack of doing exercises. Now it is time for us to come back to sports.
However, if we choose to do some exercises outdoor, we may face an awkward problem—As the sun shines in her big smile, how could we protect ourselves from suntan? Obviously, we could spread sunblock over the body, but how about our eyes? If we expose our eyes in the sunlight for quite a long time, they may get hurt.
Therefore, when we do some exercises, we need a pair of sports eyeglasses. In the middle of financial crisis, we should keep our expense low, so maybe to buy a pair of sports through online shopping is the best solution. Glassesshop.com helps us to save money, for there are eyeglasses which only cost us $8.
As a matter of fact, sports eyeglasses also have two types—the bad one and the good one. To judge whether they are good or not, we could figure out from two aspects: their quality and aesthetic part. As for the aesthetice part, every one may have their own taste. But for their quality, there are some standards for us to apply to.
The quality of sports eyeglasses mainly refers to the quality of lenses. So far, the F·D·A Standard should be the most general discipine for the world to base on.
1. According to the F·D·A Standard, lenses should have good performance of passing light, and at the same time, they should get rid of most of ultroviolet radiation. When a pair of sports eyeglasses could prevent 100% ultroviolet radiation, there should be a label “UV—400 PROTECTION”, so it is important to check that UV label.
2. Lenses should have the same strength as normal eyeglasses. Generally speaking, if the diopter passes more than 15%, it may cause dizziness.
3. Lenses ought to have comparatively high intensity and pass the trial of anti-impact. Normally speaking, sports eyeglasses are made of PC material, which is durable.
Sports eyeglasses should be worn according to seasons as well. In spring and summer, we should choose the ones with light-color lenses and soft frames; in autumn and winter, the frames should be more colorful. The wind in winter is cold and strong, so sports eyeglasses with large frames may be popular and useful.
Sports eyeglasses are also widely favored by athletes. Eyeglasses designed to enhance sports performance can help athletes at every level who are looking for that extra “edge” in the sport they love. In most sports, vision drives performance. So to excel during competition, athletes must make sure their eyesight is in top shape. Even if they have perfect vision, the right pair of sports glasses may help them see clearer than their rivals. If we want to perform as well as athletes do, we are bound to have a pair of sports eyeglasses.

Types of Eyewear
Corrective
Corrective lenses modify the focal length of the eye to alleviate the effects of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) or astigmatism. As people age, the eye’s crystalline lens loses elasticity, resulting in presbyopia, which limits their ability to change focus.
The power of a lens is generally measured in diopters. Over-the-counter reading glasses are typically rated at +1.00 to +4.00 diopters. Glasses correcting for myopia will have negative diopter strengths. Lenses made to conform to the prescription of an ophthalmologist or optometrist are called prescription lenses and are used to make prescription glasses, which are then verified correct using a professional lensmeter.
Safety
Safety glasses are usually made with shatter-resistant plastic lenses to protect the eye from flying debris. Although safety lenses may be constructed from a variety of materials of various impact resistance, certain standards suggest that they maintain a minimum 1 millimeter thickness at the thinnest point, regardless of material. Safety glasses can vary in the level of protection they provide. For example, those used in medicine may be expected to protect against blood splatter while safety glasses in a factory might have stronger lenses and a stronger frame with additional shields at the temples. The lenses of safety glasses can also be shaped for correction.
Safety
Some safety glasses are designed to fit over corrective glasses or sunglasses. They may provide less eye protection than goggles or other forms of eye protection, but their light weight increases the likelihood that they will actually be used. Modern safety glasses tend to be given a more stylish design in order to encourage their use. Corrective glasses with plastic lenses can be used in the place of safety glasses in many environments; this is one advantage that they have over contact lenses.
There are also safety glasses for welding, which are styled like wraparound sunglasses, but with much darker lenses, for use in welding where a full sized welding helmet is inconvenient or uncomfortable. These are often called “flash goggles”, because they provide protection from welding flash.
Worker safety eyewear is available in various lens colors and/or with coatings to protect or enable eyesight in different lighting conditions, particularly when outdoors.
Nylon frames are usually used for protection eyewear for sports because of their lightweight and flexible properties. They are able to bend slightly and return to their original shape instead of breaking when pressure is applied to them. Nylon frames can become very brittle with age and they can be difficult to adjust.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses may be made with either prescription or non-prescription lenses that are darkened to provide protection against bright visible and possibly ultraviolet light.
Glasses with photosensitive lenses, called photochromic lenses, become darker in the presence of UV light. Unfortunately, many car windshields block the passage of UV light, making photochromic lenses less effective whilst driving on bright days. Still, they offer the convenience of not having to carry both clear glasses and sunglasses to those who frequently go indoors and outdoors during the course of a day. Recent technology has developed specialized photochromic lenses that work behind the windshield of the car, as well as outside of the car.
Light polarization is an added feature that can be applied to sunglass lenses. Polarization filters remove horizontally polarized rays of light, which can cause glare. Popular among fishermen and hunters, polarized sunglasses allow wearers to see into water when normally glare or reflected light would be seen. Polarized sunglasses may present some difficulties for pilots since reflections from water and other structures often used to gauge altitude may be removed, or instrument readings on liquid crystal displays may be blocked.
Yellow lenses are commonly used by golfers and shooters for their contrast enhancement and depth perception properties. Brown lenses are also common among golfers, but cause color distortion. Blue, purple, and green lenses offer no real benefits to vision enhancement and are mainly cosmetic. Some sunglasses with interchangeable lenses have optional clear lenses to protect the eyes during low light or night time activities and a colored lens with UV protection for times where sun protection is needed. Debate exists as to whether “blue blocking” or amber tinted lenses have a protective effect.
Sunglasses are often worn just for aesthetic purposes, or simply to hide the eyes. Examples of sunglasses that were popular for these reasons include teashades and mirrorshades.
3D Glasses
The illusion of three dimensions on a two dimensional surface can be created by providing each eye with different visual information. Classic 3D glasses create the illusion of three dimensions when viewing specially prepared images. The classic 3D glasses have one red lens and one blue lens. 3D glasses made of cardboard and plastic are distributed at 3D movies. Another kind of 3D glasses uses polarized filters, with one lens polarized vertically and the other horizontally, with the two images required for stereo vision polarized the same way. Polarized 3D glasses allow for color 3D, while the red-blue lenses produce a dull black-and-white picture with red and blue fringes.
One kind of electronic 3D spectacles uses electronic shutters, while virtual reality glasses and helmets have separate video screens for each eye. A 3D effect can also be produced using LCD shutter glasses
