Quill:Hi ,is there any one? Charlotte:hi, here I am. Ruby:Haha,i am ruby~ Roxanne:hi, everyone:) Quill:ok,let’s discuss this news~ Roxanne:okok Ruby:I think it’s the issue about religion. Charlotte:yes,I agree. Quill:as we know,the people in middle east are really religious. Roxanne:yeah, and there are many taboos in their religion. Ruby:hmm,for example? Charlotte:ummm, they are not allowed to eat pork. Quill:and…you know,the women in Muslim countries are not allowed to reveal their faces. Ruby:Oh~Thank god i am not living in the Middle East but Taiwan, i can show my beautiful face and body~ Roxanne:oh, disgusted!! Charlotte: haha , shame on you! Roxanne:but I think that the teacher in this article had noting to do with Muhammad…and Ms. Hussein thought so. Ruby:yes,I think the Sudan government took that too serious Charlotte:yah~I think they have to distinguish education from religion. Quill:yes~ And I think that the teacher was innocent,and that she did the mistake accidentally. Roxanne:I think if there is someone to be blamed for, it should not be the teacher, but her pupils. Ruby:uhh,but I think the kids were too young to know the dos and don’ts. Roxanne:but we cannot let the teacher take all responsibilities, all we have to do is to teach the kids, that’s all. Charlotte:yeah, the teacher shouldn’t have been imprisoned.How poor she is!! Quill:anyway,I consider the government should strike a balance between the malicious words and innocent mistake. Roxanne:that makes me think of literary persecution. Ruby:it seems a terrible thing Charlotte:I guess I won't talk anything from now on. Quill:ha ha~We stay in Taiwan.And people have lots of freedom.Don't worry. Roxanne:That's right. Compared to those people in the Middle East.We are much luckier. Ruby:Don't worry Charlotte. You can talk whatever you want in this chatroom. Charlotte:HaHa ~Ok Ok Roxxanne:Taiwan has much freedom~We are so lucky Quill: But finally the teacher was innocent. Roxanne: They were nice judges Ruby:She didn't do anything wrong. Charlotte:People there were really really sensitive. Quill:They just make a fuss about it Roxanne:Maybe we can't say that because we don't totally understand their culture background. Ruby:It makes sense. Charlotte:I am really afraid that World War Three is going happen TOMORROW Quill:How stupid you are, Charlotte~No wonder you look so blue recently. Roxanne:HaHa~ Don't think too much Ruby:We are all peace-keeper. If the war will break out,don't leave me alone Charlotte:We must run away together Quill:oh~I don't want talk to you guys.

(3)summary:
In all kinds of jobs,people who have the highest degree of depression are the personal care workers who take care of olders, children, or disabled poeple. Becase they lost their daily interest and fun ,they need to take cake all the things from big to small. Second is the restaurant servers.They can't rest,have food or drink,just keep serving. Engineers, architects and surveyors has the lowest rate to get depression.Because their work is creative and varied.They can meet different people and things. However,full-time job can get more away from the depression than those who don't have a job.
