What was your worst subject in school?

My worst subject in school was math. I didn’t understand it as thoroughly as other subjects. Furthermore, it was hard for me to saw the relation between math and my life, although the basic counting can be used in many ways.

I just can’t realize the point of studying so many abstract formulas and equations. Is it of any help for my future? For me, it’s not a required course. I think I could have been good in math if my teacher had taken more time to explain it to me.

Math includes many forms for us to process and they make me dizzy. I deeply resist those complex forms from my heart. Therefore, it’s too hard for me to accept the study in math well. Maybe I need to find some fun way to help my study in math.

For the above reasons, math is a boring subject and also it’s my weakest subject in school.

Cute baby!!!


Haha!!! The film is so cute.

You should take a look, especially for fathers of the world.

After watching the film, I can deeply understand why people always say: Daughters are just like father's lovers in the previous lives. It's a kind of human nature.

If you could live abroad, where would you go?

I love Japan very much, even thought I have never been there. Japan is not far from Taiwan, so we could get a lot of information frequently. Because of those reasons, Japan is not strange to me.

For me, the major reason that attracted me is the environment. As long as people who have been there all said: Such a clean place. A good environment enhances the quality of life and then makes residents keep a stable mood. I think there is a good place to live.

Besides, I heard there were many delicious food that makes me wanted to taste, especially because I am a gourmet. I like to eat sashimi, lamen and fried pork. As the result, I would like to taste authentic food in Japan. One day, if I could live in Japan, I think there must be a lot of food that can satisfied my taste.

Finally, Japan is a fashionable nation. Japanese dresses are also an indication of fashion. Therefore, there is a shopping paradise for ladies and for me, too .

For the above reasons, there are many good functions of life in Japan. Those main reasons are why Japan is the country I would like to live in.

An effortless machine


Today I want to recommend a vacuum cleaner. It's not a ordinary machine,it's smart and especially it's an automatic cleaner.


I think this kind of vacuum cleaner is very common in America.

We also can easily find it mported from America in large amount now.


The advantages of this machine are as follows:


1) It saves a lot of effort.


2) If you are a housewife, you don't have to spare time to clean the house.


3) It has automatic recharging function ( when it detects your house is clean or the battery is running dead , it will go back to the charger.)




My mom reduced a chore since she bought this vacuum cleaner.



It's really helpful, so we called it "Maria", which is a common name for a Filipino maid. haha!!



If anyone is interested the automatic machine, you can see it in every department store.

Do you prefer to choose online courses or you prefer to choose traditional courses?

Opinion A
I prefer to choose traditional courses,Even thought online courses are more convenient than traditional courses.
Traditional courses are the original type, and it symbolizes the first place where a child learns to adapt in the society. Traditional courses mean every student has to go to school and study in the class.
A traditional class, where students can interact with teachers and classmates, brings more fun to students. Likewise, teachers can more feedback from students too.
I think traditional courses are better for me.


Opinion B
I prefer to choose online courses, because it’s convenient and I don’t need to waste time on traffic. My reasons are as follows.
First, online courses are though through internet, so that we can study in everywhere as long as we have access to internet.
Second, online courses can be recorded. Students can to review many times by computer and don’t need to take notes by themselves.
Third, online courses keep students from traffic accidents. In other words, it will reduce mortality rate of students due to bad weather.
For the reasons above, I prefer online courses.

Blood transfusion

Today I read a passage that was talking about blood transfusion.

After I read the passage, I couldn't wait to share with everybody.

We know blood transfusion is an important role for patient who needs an operation, but we don't know why they use blood transfusion on medicine.

And I know the reasons from the book now.

In the 1665, Dr. Richard Lower carried out the first blood transfusion by managing to keep two dogs alive. He transfused blood from one dog to the other. First he cut the dog's neck and he almost killed them in the process. Then he cut an artery from an ox that he placed in the neck of one dog to connect to the other's. He created the first transfusion connection.

In 1667 Dr. Jean Denys succeeded to transfused blood of a lamb into a human.

Therefore, today doctors use transfusion of blood to save people's lives.

Pictogram

Before written history, we know there was nobody who could write. Before writing was invented, stories were painted on cave walls.

The ancient people used pictogram which is drawing or picture to represent a word. The classic example of pictogram is hieroglyphs. Even without linguistic knowledge, people can depict stories or events by pictogram.

Pictogram can be used in numerous languages, such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese and English. A pictogram can be understood in any languages. It tells a story understandably only by using pictures.

Therefore, a road sign is also used worldwide as nonlinguistic symbolization.

According to the history, it can provesthat mankind is smart.

This is a picture of hieroglyphs. ↓

Do you prefer to live with roommates or you prefer to live by yourself

Opinion A

Living with roommates can be good or bad, but I need privacy and my own space. Therefore, I prefer to live by myself. My reasons are as follows.

First, living by myself, I don’t need to care about roommates’ feeling. For example, sometimes I get insomnia and I often watch television or listen to music for helping me get asleep. It might bother roommates. Therefore, when the test of school is coming I always study all night and it keeps me from having a life as regular as roommates.

Second, living by myself, I can get naked at home. It’s comfortable for me. If I live with roommates it would not be so relaxing. For me, we need to wear clothes when we are out, so when we get into our house, we should take them off.

Opinion B

I prefer to live with a roomate because living by my self, I can’t get help easily. For example, when I forget my key, nobody can open the door for me. Likewise, When I suddenly get sick at midnight, nobody knows.

Moreover, living by myself, I might be lonely. I have to watch television and eat food alone.

Concluding the above reasons, I like to live with a roomate.

New vocabulary

colony - Hong Kong was a British colony.


declare -School will declare the regulation for the parking area.

protest - Citizens always protest about policy of government.

marketing tactics

Recenty, I had seen three movies but they didn't meet my expectation. The three films were Dear John, Bunty Hunter and Precious.

The movie trailers look wonderful and make me want to see those movies. Actually they are not good enough for me. And I like to give scores for movies.It's in order to define a level of movies. So, if a movie is higher than 80, it means good, between 70 to 80, it means ok, less 70, it means boring and bad. In the cases of movies, I give them scores separately,they are 75 , 70 and 60 respectively. Now you can know how a movie disappointed me.

For me, those editors of movie are not doing their best, but their marketing tactics are successful.

The next one I want to see is "It's Complicated" and I hope it's a good film. If anyone has seen this film, leave a message about film please.

The Statue of Liberty


This is a picture of The Statue of Liberty
and we can see she holds aloft a torch in her right hand and a tablet in her left hand.
The reading passage is talking about the symbol of United States which called The Statue of Liberty.


We know the Statue of Liberty sits in New York and it brings a lot of visitors coming.


I think many people don't know the statue's background, just like me. After I reading the passage and I get some meaning of the Statue of Liberty.


First of all, the statue was presented to the United States by France to memorize the alliance between the two countries of the American Revolution.


Secondly, people always erroneously assumed the statue was built by United States. In fact, it was designed by a Frenchman. While the American did not create the staute but the 154-foot pedestal supporting it was designed by two Americans.


Thirdly, the pedestal of statue contains steel underpinning which was designed by a Frenchman, who also designed the Eiffel Tower of Paris.


Finally, the state of New Jersey has argued that the statue actually more fall within their place than the New York state. As a result, New Jersey asserted that the Statue of Liberty is their property.

Introduction of a film - Dear John







I'd like to introduce a movie which I saw last week - "Dear John."

Everyone knows the movie is adapted from a book and the writer is Nicholas Sparks.

The movie, Dear John, it's describes a man (John) who fall in love with a woman and they have a long distance relationship. They kept contact by letters. The woman can't stand alone, so she wrote a break up letter for John. The beginning of the letter is Dear John and it is the key point of this movie. (This is why the original book is named Dear John.)

After several years, they meet again and the woman had been engaged to their mutual friend. The friend got cancer and they needed much money to cure the disease. Then, John sold a huge number of rare coins to help her husband anonymously. Those coins are his father's collection before his father died.

We realize one thing. It is even through a long time John still loves her deeply and just hopes her life is good and happy.


I think it is a beautiful film and is good for eveyone to see the movie.

I am a sensitive person and I don't always think with reason. In my mind, I think my emotion must be expressed or i will become mentally ill easily.

By the way, I think if a person is too sensible, the person must not be breathing.
