New Year




This year, I bought a little cake with my sister in private because my parents did not want us to eat so much. It was the first time to buy our favorite cake without my parents agreement. Although we were happy, we needed to have it in our room. I hate having in my room, but this time I broke my rule. For New Year, it is not good deed, right? Anyway, it is exciting. Next year, I think we still do the same thing. By the way, the cake is really delicious. The strawberries on the cake taste great. It is unblievable because in winter, the strawberries always taste sour or tasteless. It is a good memory.

1202 assignment

I don't like a documentary film, so I feel a little boring at the beginning. When a documentary film mentions its time, I am interesting in this story because I hadn't been born. The soceity was conservative, and the citizens were hard to accept new concept. If you found yourself being a gay/lesbian, you didn't want to admit or talk to your friends. It was unwise because you will be excluded by your parents, friends, and even all citizens. In my opinion, he is a brave man, and he is too good to be true. He strove for gay rights regardless of his status. In Taiwan, it is impossible to happen. Nowadays, most people accept them and respect them, but their parents do not. Take the daughter of Mom’s friends as an example. She finds she is a lesbian, and she is honest to tell her parents. Her parents do not disagree and demand that she move away because they do not want neighborhood to know.

SKorean president vows to overcome economic crisis

The economy will be worse and worse, and it is worldwide. The government should think how to pull us out of the global economic crisis like the government of South Korean. Because in the society, there are more and more people lose jobs, and even many parents do not support children. One day I watched the news, and I felt sad. A father committed a crime because he lost his job, and he had no money to support his children, but his children was starving. The other is the same, but the characters are opposite. A little boy stole rice roll in the convenience store. The reasons why he stole rice roll are that he is starving, and his father lost his job for half year, and his mother’s salary is lower, so the salary does not supply for their lives. Many parents committed suicide due to no money, and their children were left. It is a tragedy. I do hope we will survive.

Giant Panda

Giant Panda came to Taiwan. They are so cute. I want to see them one day with my friends. The people who want to see them will be limited 15 minutes. To me, it is not enough, so that I wait for that day when people are not curious about them. At that time, I will have much time to observe clearly. I do hope that day will come soon.

However, many people who are old such as grandparents. They do not like them at all. Today I went to cut my hair. I heard they talked about giant panda. The media report that the giant panda eat so much behind our imagination especially their weight. In their opinion, Taiwan’s economy is worse, and so many people do not have jobs and no food to eat. Why does the government spend much money to support them? They even want to take them away. I think their thoughts are so weird, but I have no idea to talk them what my thoughts are. It is too difficult to me, so I choose to pretend not to hear their conversation.

Non-smoking in Public Places



I see the poster in the campus, and originally, I think it is for show because it is hard to carry out. However, today I went to cut my hair. On the wall of the store, it is posted the singal “ non-smoking”. The owner said if the customers smoked, the customer and the owner will be fined. In addition, once the owner offers an ashtray, the owner also will be fined. They think it is too strict, but I think it is good. In fact, I hate the smell of smoking, and I also hate someone who is smoking near me. Smoking hurts our health. The cigarettes are not good for us at all, so I do hope person who smokes will quit it soon.

Times of Your Life

This is an old song. Now it is sung by Joanna. I like this vedio. It consists of many photos. Every photo is a part of our lives. These are important memories for everyone. The first time to be a soldier. In childhood, parents played with us, and now it is hard because in my opinion, the parents will become busier as we grow up. Photos record every part of our lives. It can be happiness, sorrow, angry, and so on; however, no matter what they mean, they are always the most important. Even though one day we forget everything, we also can recollect it through these photos.



Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember

The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life (do you remember)

Reach back for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The mem'ries are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow

Here comes the saddest part (comes the saddest part)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life

Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life
Of your life
Of your life

Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life
