President Election

I am an United States citizen. I very love this country. When I became citizen, I changed my name to Freeman. Because the U.S. is a freedom country.It is a near perfect but not perfect nation, especially the elective rules. Now, we use indirect elective rules not direct rules. My vote is not for the candidate directly. So I am very up sad about the President Election. I don’t know how to spell Mrs. Clinton’ s name.In this world, some nations use directly election, including America’s enemy--Iran. Why the United States can not change the elective law?The second, every country’s president possesses very big power.sometimes they may make some wrong decisions. People must receive the consequence as we are receiving Iraq war’s result now.The third, after Ronald Regan, the U. S. had not a great president. some one was a simple guy, some one was a play boy. Now our president can’t spell correctly and his pronunciation is too bad.Will the new president be a great president? I don’t think so. They join in the election for become a president only, not for lead our country and people go ahead, go ahead.Do you think this election is useful?


Three Changes
I have some important goals for this semester. I think English needsto change and can improve much more. In fact, English is changing andchanging. We are learning and using American English, not original English. In fast, I want to alter two English alphabets i and j. You see, the points that above i and j are rubbishes. How about we throw themout to the air space. The second, our class is studying irregular verbsnow. All people know that is very difficult to learn. Those are 100% notnecessary. The last, when verb uses at third person singular, it needs addS. If we cancel this rule, English grammar will be more easy and simple.There are too many English rules need to change, but no any body thinkand shout out. That is so sad!
