My Favorite Hobby

My favorite hobby is listening to the music. When I am tired of working or studying, I usually listen to the music either over the radio or by MP3. The music which I prefer are classical and popular, the classical music enables me to feel peaceful when I am angry, and the popular music can enables me to feel relax when I am anxious. Indeed, the music has become my best price, so I can not do without it in my life.

A Computer

I think a computer is most important invention in modern times. Because it counts exceedingly fast and has enormous storage capacity for information, it plays a very important role in our modern life. At present, the plans are controlled by a computer. Moreover, a computer is indispensable for making robot. Furthermore a computer is used for correcting exam sheets. In addition, according to the news reportedly, the computer is also has the function of auto call the muster system, and the student not dare to skip the class. Because the efficiency of a computer is so amazing, we can surely say that we can not do without it in our life.

If my English is Good, ...

If my English is good, I could communicate with foreigners fluently either in writing or in speaking. Nowadays, most of companies need the person who is good at speaking and writing of English. Perhaps I could find a better job than presently if my English is not too bad. Besides, large of famous novels which written in English, if I master English, I could read the original text directly to enjoy it from the book. Therefore, it’s very worth our while to spend a lot of time to learn it well. Especially, now I go to Lunghwa University to study English on the weekend, I am sure that my English must great progress in the future years.

Writing

How difficult for me to write a blog in English even only 120 word a theme. One of the reasons is that I am not good at grammar. Writing a theme must consider the tense and grammar of the contexts, but I always don’t understand what’s the tense or the speech should I used. Therefore, I usually get the bad grades at the course of writing, and it’s also strike the confidence of mine very much. Another reason is that the vocabularies which I know are much less. When I have a brilliant inspiration of the topic, I don’t know how to express it thru the words to let others know what I want to say. So, I think that I must enhance my grammar and vocabulary's abilities in order to overcome the fear of writing and write down to the smoothly theme which I would like to speak.

Advantages of Growing Up in a Small Town

Growing up in a small town can make a person get with other people better. First of all, you always have nice neighbors. People living in a small town are usually simple, friendly and warm, you don’t have to worry about nobody will assist you when you need. For example, your neighbors will help you to take care of your child when you must go out for an emergent case. Secondly, the relationship between interpersonal is more closely than people who live in the city. For instance, people will greet everyone with a smile even they unknown each other while they meet. Finally, the neighborhood is safer than the city. People live in a community and know each other, therefore it is easy to recognize strangers or any kinds of threaten. To conclude, the advantages of growing up in a small town such as nice neighbors, closely relationship between interpersonal and safer neighborhood that you will never find in the city.

New Year’s Resolutions

For my new year’s resolutions in 2010 year are traveling aboard with my father & mother and improving the ability of my English. I never go to aboard with my family together. I would like to bring them to join with me to Ko Samui, where a famous is for its beautiful stretches of white sandy beaches, relaxed lifestyle and exotic flavor in Thailand. I had gone to Thailand twice ago; I like not only their food, but also their goods which are with reasonable prices. I could relax my mind and spend my time with my family in there. Besides, I would like to fulfill the skill of my English ability in order to find a better job to obtain the better salary. That’s one of the reasons why I came to Lunghwa University to study.

Steve Job's Speech

From the speech of Mr. Steve Jobs that I learned don’t give up easily no matter how difficult matters that we faced. The maxim says “if the God closes a door, and then he will open another window for you”. If we couldn’t achieve our goal from this method, we may be able to find other ways to instead. It really deeply touched my heart which Mr. Steve Jobs said that “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards”. While I was a student in junior, I’m not interested in English and didn’t know why should I learn it, and didn’t know what ever I can obtain from it and tried to give up this lesson. However, I’m glad that I didn’t abandon English at that moment, owing to ten years later, I put it in use in my work, and then l understood why I learned it. Anyhow, I thought I already found what I loved, and loved what I do and will keep doing it.

If I Were a Bird

If I were a bird, I would fly in the blue sky, because I always dream about flying in the sky. I can fly to every corner of the world and to support everyone to sing songs of peace！ I would fly up high to review the city where I live and it must be awesome. I would fly to the mountains to see the beautiful scenery. I would like to fly through nature. I can see here a while, and then look at the moment. I see all the people are friendly smile to me. How such a leisurely life! If I were a bird!

My Favorite Season

The maxim says “The whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring”. Spring is generally considered to be the best time of year. The weather is warm and mild. All the plants come to life again, and all nature is clothed the green color and looks attractive. Spring is my favorite season. It is just a time of renewal for me. It is a time when nature comes back to life to start a new season. I just love to go out and plant flowers and watch them thru the year to see how much they grow. I love the thought that I had something very special to do with that little plants growth. For me, every spring just feels fresh and new.

Reading

I like reading very much especially when I am alone, no matter the books of novels, magazines, or biographies, all of them are my favorite. While I am reading, I can forget all the troubles I meet and all the pressure I have. I can image I am an actress of the book and can travel in the world of book. Besides, if I am upset or depression, I also would like to read a book to unleash my emotion. I could learn how to overcome and solve the problems, due to I could find a lot of knowledge and all the answers I want thru the book. So that’s why I love reading. In the past, I usually read a new book in every month. Although, I don’t have much time to read others book recently, owing to most of my time is spend on reading textbook. I still think reading is a good habit; I must keep this habit process.

Mamma Mia

I have seen the movie of “MAMMA MIA” which the show of musical is adapted for the movie in last year. It’s one of my favorite movies, especially the songs of the movie.

The story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship. I admired the daughter’s courage; she would like to find her own father to send the invitation letter by her mother’s name to invite 3 possible men to return to the Greek island that they haven’t visited for 21 years. Now the show of musical will be held on Nov.11th to Nov.15th at Taipei Arena.

However, it’s a pity that I don’t have enough time to see their performed in these period days. I hope I will not miss this musical show when they come back to play in Taiwan next time.

My Best Friend

Everyone needs a best friend in their life. My best friend is one of my schoolmates. Her name is Ju Yu and we know each other since we were 12 years old when we were a student in elementary school. She has a very nice personality, wonderful sense of humor, friendly and enthusiastic about helping people, everyone loves her very much and elected her be a leader of class every semester. In my images, she is the most popular person in the class. When I get depress, she always encourage me to cheer up and give my best advice.

I know I can rely on her very much. Even when our lives get busy so far, but we still make time to go out with each other. I believe that our friendship will unit forever.

Age

One day, when I talked with my college, she said “you must go to dye your hair”, suddenly. You must have a lot of pressure of the job or something, owing to you had a lot of gray hair recently. I agreed it and repeated what she said, right; I got a big pressure not only from the work, but also from the study, I was old. Then, the other one asked “Are you thirty years old”? Oh my god… thirty years old is old, and I’m going to... means I am old, surely? Why I stayed in this company? Why I came back to school to study English? Why I didn’t study hard while being a student? Many different kinds of questions emits from my brain.

For me, it is a new milestone of thirty; it reminds me that I must be a more dependant and responsibility person. I must improve the advantages of myself and enhance the ability of languages and business sills. Let’s my life substantial and significant in the future.

A Person Who Has Made a Difference: My Grandmother

My grandmother was elected one of the Exemplary Mother of her community in 2005. She lived in a small village after she married with my grandfather in 1940. Grandmother raised six children alone since my grandfather passed away, while my father was 6 years old. She made a living by selling vegetables, fruit and breeding a wide range of poultry.

After all the children grew up, she promoted and participated aggressively for Mother’s classroom in community, where the ladies can gather for learn about cooking or singing. At the beginning, most of people did not support her ideas or give any feedback warmly, but she never gave up persuading everyone to attend it. Few years later, most of women appreciated her for organizing the classroom that enriched their life. Furthermore, at her old age, she devoted to helping not only the poor but the senior citizens who living alone, as well. The community would like to express the thankfulness for her dedication, by awarding her honor of Exemplary Mother of year 2005. I deeply believe she worth to this honor.

Unfortunately, she passed away on last Dec., however she would be my most admire and most beloved grandmother in my mind.

My Favorite Festival

Lunar Chinese New Year is my favorite festival. It’s the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays in Taiwan. On the Lunar Chinese New Year Eve, all the family members are supposed to come home for a dinner and talked about what has happened during last year.

When I was a child, I love this festival very much owing to not only I can wear new clothes and new shoes, but also I can get the gift-money from the relatives. And all the children can let off firecrackers, play cards…and so on together.

However, even if some people have no respect for this festival nowadays, I still expected the lunar Chinese New Year coming, due to it’s my turn to give gift-money to my parents to thank you their take care meticulously. The most reason which I love this festival is that it is the time for families to get together.

Come back to school be a student

I was graduated from school in eight years. When I was graduated from school, I was happy not only left the life of the school, but also the test, finally. I wanted to find a job to start my new life urgently to develop my professional specialty during the job.

But in my past years of the job, most of my co-works were have the degree of university. Meanwhile, I thought the ability of my English is stopping progress in these years.
