How to learn English ? ?

This morning I watched a TV program. It talked about learning English. It shows that many students of university in Taiwan don't have courage to speak English, or they can't speak it very well. There are two reasons. One is that the vacabulary is not enough. Another is that they don't understand what the foreigners say. This information makes me recall that if we ask the foreigners how to learn English, they usually say listening to the radio such as ICRT or English songs, reading Englsh books and above all practicing. One day my friends whose English is not good tell me now they want to learn English, and what they should do? I tell them these methods and want them follow these, but they say "we don't understand what the lyrics or words mean at all, so it causes they feel frustrated instead of helping them learn English easily. From now on, I think if you want to learn languages, the best way is to move to the native country. Is it a good way for everybody? I'm not sure....

English Literature

Monday is going to come again. I don't like Monday because there is a course-English Literature. So far I had two classes, but I still have no idea to prepare it. Before studying literature, at first we must understand its history, but I'm not interested in it. It always takes me much time but always makes me feel frustrated. It's very difficult for me to remember its time, spots and especially its roles names, even though the events are very famous except that we often speak of the events in our life. So far I'm looking for some tips. It's a big challenge at this semester.

A Dream??

Lately I chatted with my friends on the internet. We talked about our dreams in our childhood. In elementary school, our chinese teacher asked us to write an article the topic of which was "what kind of jobs do you want to take?" At that time, we didn't know what the job needed actually. For example, I wanted to be a teacher, but I didn't know to be a teacher needed much patience and spent much time on students. Some of us just thought being a teacher could take many days off. Maybe now some of us have different dreams. Looking back, the dream of childhood seems just "a dream".

Do we study humanities?

I think the study of humanities is very important.
When we read literature, we have to understand what the characters think. For example, we will discuss why the main rloes do this or why the author writes these or not.
Through the literature, we will be trained to think deeply and analyse the condition easily. In my opinion, if you want to be a good business man/woman, you must understand humanity very well. You are good at humanity, and you will know how to earn much money from him/her. You have good concept of world, and you also can earn money, so I consider studying humanities are necessary.

bad day part 3

Because of typhoon, I took a day off.
I hated rainy day because I had to go to see a doctor.
When I got there, I was wet. I felt uncomfortable.
Seeing a doctor, I got a bad news.
My ankle isn't well, so I have to see a doctor again and take the medicine.
Oh....it's awful.
I hope it will be well by Thursday.
From now on, it's impossible!!= =
I want to play badminton.

Bad Day PART 2

I had terrible time.
I could not go out.
I only stayed on bed.
At that time,my cellphone on the bookshelf rang several times, but I didn't want to pick it up.
Finally I picked it up because I thought maybe it was very important, but it caused my left leg bumped into my chair and desk.
I regreatted it.

Journal: Bad Day

On Thursday when I was playing badmiton, I twisted my ankle.
It was very bad because I just play half hour and another half hour I only stood there.
In the afternoon, we wasted much time waiting for lunch so that we were late for class.
At night, I went to see a doctor.
Oh.....it was really painful.
It was not my day.

Issue:Typhoon Jangmi

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2008/09/29/2003424550

Jungmi is the strong typhoon. It brought heavy rain and strong wind. I hated it.
It caused many traffic accidents due to damaging our railway and roads and making trees fall down. There were many elementary schools destroyed by Jungmi. When I heard the news, I was worried about my young sister and friends who were not in Hsinchu because I did not comfirm whether they were safe or not. I hated this feeling. During this period, I was at home without electric power because of strong wind so that I could not watch TV 、read books、use computer and do anything except sleeping or being in a trance. It was very boring. I did not know what was going on. It lasted almost five hours. I had not a good time. I really hope typhoons do not come to Taiwan especially in my holidays.
