When someone is overweight, most people wonder how they got that way. Linda and hersiblings （兄弟姊妹） were born with a normal weight but from the time she was about nine, things started to change. With her sailor father hardly home, her mother turned to running a stall at a canteen for construction workers as a means of income.

Linda says that even as a child, she was forced to work very ha—rdcleaning floors, washing dishes and cutting up vegetables. There was, however, one big problem—she and her siblings now had access to lots of food from the canteen. Unfortunately, it was mostly unhealthy, rich in coconut cream, sugar or salt. Added to that wasfizzy （冒气泡的） drinks, several times a day.

“ When we got home, at about 10 or 11pm, my mother would buy us supper and it was usually fried food, ”says aLkinindga,hsehr head at the memory.

This went on for years until Linda ' s mum suffered a heart attack at 48 and she

Linda remembered it vividly.

“ I saw him in hospital and it was so painful for me. He was so big, even the nurses couldn ' t turn him over. I told myself I would not do that to my family or to myself, ” she says, her eyes watering at the memory.

Next to go was her dad, a heavy smoker. He too suffered stroke and was in bed for six months before his death in early 2007.

Like pouring rain, the family ' s troubles did not let up.

Despite her bypass operation, her mothe—r who was at her heaviest, weighed 70kg—did not cut back on rich, unhealthy food. So five years after her heart attack, she was diagnosed with kidney failure.

How do you feel when you live in a dormitory? At a glimpse, you will see things people do in their local life and culture. I nsta nt no odles（方便面）,chatt ing, and computer games make up the tools for surv iving dormitory life for most stude nts. They sometimes do sports together, have snacks late at night, or just watch TV in the com mon room. This is a new livi ng situati on for most of the stude nts. They learn to accomplish tasks of new types.

There are many new aspects of dormitory life for students. One main thing of these is pers onal resp on sibility required of an in dividual. There is sudde n lack of pare ntal guida nee. Of course dormitories havwarde ns （主管）and reside nee tutors to oversee the well-be ing of the reside nts. However, the abse nee of pare nts as authority figures requires students to keep a watchful eye on their own responsibility. This is important for their initial college life.

things early on with roommates and arrive at an agreeable arrangement. Like siblings in their own home before, roommates live in continuous contact with them. The condition obliges them to live with other persons, no matter what the situation is.

Of course, in a dormitory there are problems. Students must solve these problems in a reasonable way. A college student may adapt to all new challenges and freedoms of dorm life. By learning, they will accept dormitory life as unique environment. Preparing themselves those ways will enable them to face new things in their life.

Through different advertising techniques, companies achieve a growth in the sales of their products and services by attracting the masses. Print advertising makes use of the print media such as magazines and newspapers. The print media also offers options like advertising through brochures or pamphlets.Fliers （传单） and brochures are commonly distributed with newspapers and supplements are attached to newspapers. In such cases, the popularity of the newspaper and the location of the advertisement in it matter most.

The use of audio-visual media is another popular advertising technique. Television and radio have been used in advertising for long.

The audie nces watch ing the show or the movie are sure to no tice the n ame advertised.

The use of famous people for the promoti on of a brand is one advertis ing tech nique while mak ing use of com mon people is ano ther.
