Oct. 10th

Yesterday most people had this day off. I took my sister to super market to buy some cookies, snack and drink. It was full of people, and it was hard to move. Meanwhile, I observed the faces of customers, and I found everyone was happy even though they had to wait for a long time if they wanted to pay the bill, and it was hard to move. Holiday would make people happy as if these events on the newspaper were not good, or the economy was bad. Why does the holidays make people happy? That's because everyone all has much stress, or people are tired of busy day?? I think both.

Busy Day

This week, we have Friday off due to Oct. 10th. I don't feel happier because there are no classes on Friday. Thursday in this week is a busy day. Thursday night I have a classes from 7.30 to 9.00, and after 9.00, I have to pick my sister up because she go home by train. It's so busy, but I'm happy. I haven't seen my sister for three weeks, and we all chatted with each other through msn or telephone, so I miss her so much. we borrowed so many books from the bookstore, and We talked all night. We talked about her university life, her classmates, roommates and so on. Although we slept at 3.00 am, we all felt very happy. I like this weekend because I feel I do many things meaningful.

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.
