Junk food

How much junk food will you eat? In Taiwan, many children eat junk food to much, and lead to fat. What is worng with junk food? 
I love eating junk food every much. 
We know junk food has too much salt or suger that is not very good for health. If you eat it every day, is not good thing. Junk food such as coke, potato chips, hamburger are high calorie foods. When we go to movie theater, there have sell many junk foods. We are watching movie and eating junk food. Some people said that junk food could hlep people relax.  During a diffect day, people want to eat junk food.  It is probably ok to eat junk food sometime. But people shoould look for low in fats and salt, suger.

Vegetarian

In Taiwan, many people are vegetarian who do not eat mean and fish. Sometime, their parents are vegetarian, they do not cook meat dish. Children followed their parents when they was little. People have many reasons that do not east mean. For example, people are a religious follower. 

Everywhere can find vegetarian restaurants and food products. People can easier make and eat vegetable foods.  Eating fresh food is very important thing. No salt, low calorie also a good choice. When we go to McDonalds, we can order vegetables  hamburger.Vegetarian make up 10 percent of the population in Taiwan. Next year, should increat more and more.

About next year

After graduating, I want to keep leaning English. I love studying English very much. I planned few way to learn English.

I plan to watch English TV programs when I have free time. America drama is my most favorite. For explam, drama has many type, there are funny, crime,love story. I think drama are very interesting to make me relaxed. English news sach as CNN and BBC are the most difficult English channel that I have ever seen. We have studied English News few months. But I know that it helps me get knowledge.
I also want to keep fit next year.I think I have to eat many kinds of vegetables and fruits every day. Then I plan to take exercise during my weenkend. I need to eat surge free and health food. Then I must look younger and healthier.I will keep doing everything next year. And I hope everyone's plan of next year will come ture.

Flora Exposition

Last weekend, we went to Taipei International Flora Expostion. We went to there by MRT that was very fast and good way for us. Because we bought student ticket that got a discount. My friend said we are luck that the day had  good weather and sunshine. I remembered that worst weather last week. Worker of Flora Expostion told us, visitor cannot eat food and drink water in show place. I think that is bad idea. I agreed that cannot eat food inside. But I disagree that people stop drinking water inside. I believe people have to drinking water everytime and anywhere. People have to dring water to keep health. So I think without drinking water can kill people health.

Post-it note

Everyday, I should to do many things in a day, but I were not able to remember each thing. 
Post-it note is my favorite stationery which manufactured by 3M. They have may color and size. Basically, I like using small size and yellow color. This note make me easy remember something that have to do. Also never forget important things. At first, I have taken note on my schedule note. Unfortunately, I could not find my schedule note. 

Until recently, I bought post-it note from stationery store. Using It can easy post on desk, wall or any place. Sometimes, I think I am very depend on post-it note. If I could use it, I would be forget every thing.

Death by Overwork in Taiwan

In Taiwan, someone death from overwork. They work hard and overtime every day. Owner say that you whole duty have done, then you can go home. You have to do work on overtime until the end of day. That is whole your responsibility which is your duty. But we know owner lie to us all the time. They have never given our overtime payment. From TV news, I knew two engineers death by overwork in Hsinchu.They just twenty-nine years old. He had worked ninety hours in a day. 

I think we have been studying in Long Wha. And we have own job from Monday to Friday. We have no time and no rest in a week. Someone must be take care kids and family. Might be student die in the school in the future. That president of school jsut realize something wrong.

If I were an angel from heaven.

Angle is not woman or man. Angle has not gender. If I were an angle, I would like to be Castiel who is an angle of  two wings. Castiel's father who is God told him, he needs come to earth and help human. Castiel has never seen his father since he was born. If were Castiel, I would like ask my father few questions. First of all, why I have to follow you and where you are? Do I know you? Why do you let me kill demons? Could you let me know anything? Angle is so beautiful. If he want to go to somewhere, just needs thinking. Sometimes, he is confused but he hope peach of the world.

If I can get diploma form Long Wha

If it is lucky, I will graduate next years. But I do not think so. It is hard to explain.

In 2003, I had been studying Japanese in Japan. Then I came to Long-wha University and study English. My friends or classmates often ask me, “About Japanese and English ,which one is your favorite? Or “Do you like to study English?” “Why did you come to Long wha study English?” Fisrt, I just want to get diploma from Long-wha. Second, I love watching America drama. If I can totally understand drama and don’t need to see subtitles, I will feel happy. In the other hand, I think language is a communication tool. So speaking Japanese or English is helpful to me. They are all my favorites.I like studying, but I am not a good memory for learning. Maybe I need surgery to change my brain in hospital.

If I lose my passport when I was in Japan.

If I lose my passport, I have no idea what thing I can do. But I will go to Japan this month for a business traveling. Too shame. I am a adult, already 30 years old. So I will make a phone call to cried card company. I think cried company know how to fix this trouble. Before I call customer serive staff, I wried one thing again. The thing is if I lose my wattle when I was in Japan what can I do. We go to a foreign country, we do not know what something will happen. We should find a good way and prepare everything. We also need to protect ourself. Never talk to someone you do not know. Then we can have a good travel.

If you colud be someone else for a day, who would you like to be

If I colud be someone else for a day, who would you like to be. I would like to be Teresa Teng. She was amazing excellent singer in Asia. when I were a child, she was a No 1 singer in Taiwan. Few years later, she came to Hong Kong and Japan for her career.  Then she became a very successful. I think her song like the national song which is so popular. I very like her voice that like tender wind is cure my soul. Turely, if I could be Teresa Teng that is my honor.

If I could stop a bad habit I have.

If I could stop a bad habit, I would get early in the morning. I sleep late at night. But I do not know why I sleep late. I just watching TV and doing homework. Sometime too much homework have to do, so I stay up and sleep at night. When I come home around  8 pm, I start to do homework around 11 pm. Maybe do school thing just one reason about sleep late. Reason two that watch TV to late at night. Yesterday, I had been watching a Korea drama until 2 am. So I got up too late. Getting late make me feel lazy, i really hope I can stop this bad habit.

If I could change one thing in the world?

If I could change on thing in the world, I wish 30 hours in a day. Because when people ask me a favor, I always say "sorry, I have no time". I know I have time, but I just no idea how to mange my schedule of a day. In addition, we need to go to school to learning English on weekend. Of course, we have no time on weekend. We also have to working hard on workdays. After work, we still have many housework which need to do. In fact, 24 hours in a day is not enough for everyone.  We have many important thing that have to do. So someone cut down sleeping time and do not rest. If I could change I thing and save the world, I would 30 hours in a day.

News vocabulary is hard to learn

Our teacher let us to studying new words. We have to read twenty new words in one day. Every weekend, when we go to LHU, we have to join a quiz on Sunday.  In my person, I think this is a trick. I think teacher lied to us. He told us if we studying hard, so we can have good English skill in the future.  Seriously, I want to be a good student and studying hard. But I just a human been. And I need to working hard everyday. I cannot spend all day to readying book. Why I think this is a big trick? Because when I was child, my teacher of elementary school and teacher of mid- school both told which I could be a musician  in my future. They just say something and we should spend all day long doing something .  He has never understood us since last year.

What should I do?

I have no idea to find title for my writing homework. What should I do? So I asked my friend, I said could you give me a favor? I need some advice for my homework. I hate watching Taiwan TV, so I cannot write about news or something else. I need your help, if you see my blog. Please help me and give an advice. Email me or give me a call. Thank you.  

Making an excuse

Making an excuse is so difficult thing for me. I don't want to tell a lie. But sometime we have to tell a lie, because I hope people truth me. For example, my boss said that he might have to work late on Sartday night. Then he ask me working late on Sartday. No! No! No! It was crap I thought. We have been studying on weekend. So I need to tell him a white lie. I said that I planed to celebrate my mother's birthday on weekend, sorry about that. So my boss said that was ok.

Someone asked which one is your favrite? I said " I don't know, I had no idea.  Every painting was my favite. If I had 1 million, I will buy every painting. Might be I would better find another job.

Madonna

This is my first album. I remember that  this is a immaculate collection. Singer is Madonna Louise. Until now, she also one of the most successful artist in the history of pop music. When I was young, everyone used to watching TV of old type and used to listening music by recorded tape. Nobody has own computer and just rich man has CD player. I had not enough money to buy this album. Everyday, I with my sister saved NTD 10 dollars, finally we bought this tape. We had listening this tape after we bought it.  My favorite song is like a virgin, vogue, material girl. She is always  a superstar and I always love her.

Terrible Movie!

Couple years ago, I saw Titanic at movie theater with my sister.Titanic is a half romantic movie and half action movie. The story was talking about Jack and Rose met on Titanic, but people all died. We need to see this movie three hours. It was a long movie than other movie. I remember that I just saw one hour, then I feel bored so fell asleep two hours. My sister loved this movie and she bought movie VCD and CD. I think she see this movie around tenth. I cannot believe it.

How do you feel about doing homework?

Honestly, I don't like doing homework. When I came home, I just want to take a bath, then go to bed. You might think that Katie's personality is very lazy. Sometime, you will probably think that doing homework can let you English skill more than better. I just say, you are one hundred percent right. But I came home too late today. Then I will work at home tonight. Maybe I cannot finish my homework on the end of August. Sorry about that. I will be finishing homework before school start.

Inviting friends

Have you ever been a guest at home? In my home, we usually invite friends informal. The guests usually arrive before dinner time around pm 4. Before they come we go to supermarket, then we buy vegetables, fruit etc. We make Taiwanese food or Japanese food. The guests bring a gift, such as juice and alcoholic drinks for children and adult. When entertain close friends we serve Taiwanese food and when we have more distant visitors we serve seafood. When the guest will leave, we give a small but carefully for our friends.

Sherlock 2010

 I had been watching drama which named Sherlock 2010 before I slept. It  is a detective about new version Sherlock in 2010. Sherlock's friend Dr Watson company with him. When I saw this drama before, I had never expected this drama can be funny. But I was wrong, big wrong. Actors have very excellent acting skill,  especially Sherlock and Dr Watson. Two people lived in London in 2010, so they can use new technology if they want to do. Dr Watson used to  be an army doctor, also he has a good gun shooting skill.  I like the since where is Sherlock was thinking. He always can get a good ideas. I think this drama have not any awkward moment, I like to follow season 2.

ShihDa Night Market

Last weekend, I went to ShihDa night market with my friend. This year has a high temperature in summber. So my friend asked me out  at pm 8. We both agree this is a good idea. When we arrived market we saw thousand of people in here. So terrible my friend said, she could not move her feet fastest when we want to see something. Night Market is near ShihDa University, we saw many young people and foreigner.

Superheros

When I was child, I  saw USA superhero in TV shows. They always have many secret which can not tell everyone. For example, Superman can not let everyone know  who he is. Superheroes wear special cloths when they will go on a secret mission.  Spider Man's special clothes is my favorite, Alothough Spider Man do not wear cape, so he can not fly in the air like Superman. But he can use his physical superpower jump and climb from here build to there build. His special clothes proect his body which is hurted. I want to be a superhero when I need to help from someone. However, I could never be a superhero, because superhero is not really peoson who is from comic book.

FIFA World Cup 2010

FIFA World Cup 2010 was opening from June 11 to July 11 in South Africa. I very expected when players take a shot on TV. Many fans also so excited and  ecpected the soccer celebration. We can see that many fans go to South Africa by airplane, just want to cheer  players for own national team. Sometime, I saw people blow the horn which called Vuvuzelas. African think Vuvuzelas can help theirs team can win the game, if they still blow the horn during contest. Vuvuzelas like a toy which is very cheap NTD 150. Although Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo did not win the contest, and go back country. But I still hope they can join next time FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Christmas in USA

Traditional Christmas Eve dinner is always turkey. It is usually so big thatwe eat turkey sandwiches for a week. The turkey with stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peas. Santa Claus is an imaginary old man with a long white beard and a red coat. Young children in many countries are told that he brings their Christmas presents. Santa Claus reindeer pull sleigh through the sky, and he comes down through the chimney.

Red Envelop

Giving red envelopes, which symolizes luck and wealth, is a Chinese, traditional custom. Red is a lucky color for Chinese, especially for important festivals. For example, during Chinese New Year, people put money in red envelope as a gift for young children. Parents think children should spend money on purchosing useful items by themselves. In the Chinese culture, red color means to protects and keeps evil spirits away. It is better than other colors. Then children are becoming adults, getting married, having a baby and following this traditional custom.

Cooperative reading strategy instruction

For my English Reading, cooperative reading strategy instruction is the best way more than the cramming. We made a small group and discussed article with classmates at school. At first, we feel this is a new challenge for us. For example, Password 3 has a lot vocabulary and we have to do English homework every week, but we still can not understand what the author wants to say. As for Password 3 textbook, we start to read a new article and try to explain it. We are finding topic and using visualization to explain what author main idea is. Sometime we can look at the pictures on the pages of the article, then make a hypothetical question. Making the flash cards, which is helpful for us to learn English vocabulary fastly. We also discuss some details with classmates about topic or paragraph. To sum up, cooperative reading strategy instruction can help us know that studying English is not boring, it is more interesting instead funny.

When We Summarize, What We Should Do?

 pull out main ideas
 focus on key details
use key words and phrases
break down the larger ideas
write only enough to convey  the gist
take succinct but complete notes
-First step:
Get a "Sum It Up" sheet.
Read the selection and underline
the key words and main ideas.
Write these in the blank area
below
At the bottom of this sheet,
write a one-sentence summary
of the article, using as many
main idea words as you can.
-Second step:
Imagine you only have NTD20.
Each word you use will cost you 1 dollar.
See if you can“sum it up” in 20 words!
Finally, you'll "sum it up" in 20 words!

Summarizing

What Is Summarizing?
Summarizing is how we take larger selections of text and reduce them to their bare essentials: the gist, the key ideas, the main points that are worth noting and remembering. Webster's calls a summary the "general idea in brief form"; it's the distillation, condensation, or reduction of a larger work into its primary notions.
What Are We Doing? When We Summarize?
We strip away the extra verbiage and extraneous examples. We focus on the heart of the matter. We try to find the key words and phrases that, when uttered later, still manage to capture the gist of what we've read. We are trying to capture the main ideas and the crucial details
necessary for supporting them.

Playing Sports/ Watching Sports on TV

Playing sports and watching sports on TV are two interesting activities in free time. In our own country, most people love and play sports with friends during weekend. This is the best and easiest way to close and make new friends. Watching sports on TV at home also can be easier to keep family relationships. People often play sports on the court which can keep healthy and be not easy to catch a cold. In contrast, people often sit on sofa and spend a lot of time watching sports on TV. They will be fat easily and not healthy. If people often play sports outside, they can learn more knowledge of sports from other people. People who watch sports channel can also get different kind of information from sports announcers. To sum up, people enjoy playing sports with many friends or enjoy sitting on comfortable sofa are both good choices.

Every year, lots of tourists to go on a vacation at Tokyo Disneyland.

Because tourists like to visit there where people can relax and get rid of pressure.
The locals can also work with their families at Disneyland.

How to prepare for a job interview

Before the job interview, I think job hunters have to prepare several things. The first step is to read job advertisements on newspapers or search the Internet. They have to understand all kind of information about the job details, such as company background, job positions, descriptions, required qualifications or skills and etc. The next step is to write resumes, and let employer be interested in them. Making a great first impression is very important because it might be the key to beat other competitors. Even though they do not have a better education and experiences than somebody else. The final step is to find out what kind of the questions that interviewers might ask about during an interview. After getting more knowledge, then it can help them to build up their confidence. Then they can outshine their competitors and they will be successful in career. In conclusion, people want to work in a favorite company by the interview. They have to prepare well for all interview things.

Advantages of Living in Big City

Living in a big city has several advantages.

First of all, in a big city, people have the best chance to work and to get education. There are lots of job opportunities and career development in a big city. For example, Taipei city has lots of big companies more than other countryside. Second, it is much more convenient of public transportation wherever you go or go shopping. In other words, there is almost everything in a big city. For instance, it services people's lives, such as schools, banks, hospitals, MRT, trade centers and planes. And they are very close at hand. Third, if there is an emergency you will easily find friends to help you in a big city. It's much easier to get assistance because of convenient transportation and facilities and a short distance.
     To sum up, living in a big city is convenient, more opportunities for jobs and education and getting aid easily.

Dr. House

On TV, Dr. House is a very popular medical drama program for adults no matter women or men.

However, House has drug-induced hallucination that he can the girl alive in the world.Wilson suggests that House should see a doctor in the hospital.

What do you think about Facebook?

Today, surf up is a so popular activity across the globe.
In fact that people spend a lot of time on the net, and I also like to do it. What kind of the website is one of the most popular between men and women? As far as I know it is Facebook that is the best social-networking Web in the world. On Facebook, lots of social games make people crazy about them, such as Farmville, Pet Society, Restaurant City and so on which are famous games for almost everyone. Social games are able to help people to develop new friendships, and they also can make comments on friends’ status. However, people can not protect their privacy on Internet. And I believe this situation will be worse in the future.

A Subway Station at Rush Hour.

In Taipei City, the subway station is full of people at rush hour. 

When I go to the platform, it is too crowded and makes me feel uncomfortable. Many people also complain this condition, but we can not change it every thing. When the train is coming, I can see the yellow light flashed. At that time, people run to the train in a hurry because they are afraid they cannot go to work or school on time. Many people have accidents at the station during the rush hour.

I think government should offer some ways to prevent any accidents from happening at subway station at during rush hours.

School starts.

Each of classmates will go to school tomorrow. I know some of them haven't finished their homework yet.

How do you spend your free time during winter vacation? I went to museum to see some exhibitions of paintings. Especially I was attracted by Van Gogh's paintings. Van Gogh's self-portrait show a great sadness in his eyes. Sad paintings made me feel depressed. Probably I have a lot of sympathy for Van Gogh whose whole life was unhappiness. How do you feel about Chinese New Year? I feel chilly and humid. Even though the weather is very cold, we must to clean our house thoroughly. I had great time throughout this vacation. Time flies, the vacation is over. I must prepare for my study and I need to go back to school tomorrow.
