Do you know?

I was in Starbucks last night.
There were much more people there than usual.
I heard their talking, their discussion, and their chatting,
but no body there listened to me, cause I was coming alone.
Even if I was going just myself, I didn’t think I’m alone,
Actually, I even heard myself told that…
“I was already got used to be one…”

So what?!

I had strong desire to consider of abandoning something,
because I felt over loading of each stuff from life recently.
No question to anyone, but my life and my personal feeling for something.
Exhausted!

Just want to ask that…
“Hey, could you stop your steps to watch me?”
“Hey, could you spend one minute to talk with me?”
“Hey, could you stay your sight on me once?”
“Hey, could you put me on a real position to you?”
“Hey, could you feel my tired when you look at me?”
“Hey, could you try to hear me?”
“Hey, could you…”

Finally, I knew I’m still alone at last,
can’t cheat myself, and can’t let you know…
Something be with me, just a cup of hot black coffee,
bitter but suit me there.

Do you know?

What a tough situation to me

I don't know how to say, but just know that I put myself in a tough situation recently.
Actually, I still think about things between us, but always don't know why.
I know that the timing to give you up may come much more earlier than my idea and my setting,
although I really hesitate that abandon myself on you or not, I know that is what should I do, I have to and I'll do. Just don't want to experience this situation anymore, because it is always very hard and tough to me, to make any decision or any choice, I couldn't handle myself easily, because each one is hard anyway. Maybe that's my problem, coz that was what I ever told u, I do hope that we can look forward in the future not currently, but so sorry about that, I'll fail probably. Not because the feeling is gone, just u let me know that I couldn't see myself in your eyes and mind, even just only a piece of, no... so if I have any decision, just have to say sorry for myself, and also you, because that means I didn't take my responsibility for the words which I told you.
Now I'm trying to calm myself down, but not sure yet what I'll be, just keep thinking.
I never talk to anyone these words; just keep it in my mind.
Don't know why and how, but I know the timing for us is closer and closer, I have no power and
no right to change it, what I can do is seeing and accept all.
I always tell myself like that, always.

Sorry, guys.

Finally, I didn't let it be, and I let it go.
I don't know what I'm thinking about for now;
just know that's what a mess idea in my mind.
But please don't say sorry to anyone, because no one was wrong,
and to hear "sorry" always makes me down,
even although, I still did it, because I broke my words to you.
Just take care of yourself. You have to.

People around me said that I'm getting strange recently,
but they can't tell specifically; just felt that I'm strange.
That made me wonder, because I also have no idea that what happened to me,
just felt low desire to do something,
just want to keep my willing for things I want.
Sorry guys, if I really let you feel strange or weird.

Cold cold heart, cold cold eyes...

It was a coincidence in our mind, I can felt that,
but just don't know yet that how to face myself even you.

If I was strange for you at that time,
just because that I haven't gotten ready yet for something,
and I know I was really strange, no idea to say, just know that.

I spent much time to make my mind up,
I have to keep it, all because of my decision.

Sorry, if I let you feel that I'm not the one you knew,
just because of that, but maybe you didn't care,
anyway, what a coincidence, but also what a pity...

Actually, you were also strange, if you know...

Bad

Things always come the way to me.
It's so exhausted to play the role at public,
just don't know why I couldn't be what I want to be whatever.
Always force myself to do things which not my willing,
those are always what I have to do, have to!!

Now I'm taking my duty to be home,
I can totally understand that, but still not my willing.

If want to have any better reason,
only have a idea is that it's what we always called fucking life.

Cold heart

It's so cold, but not caused the weather.
I heard some news from guys that you two have already been together,
I'm not sure yet that the news is correct or not.
Whatever, I got ready for the news for a while, even still a bit of shock, I'm still ok.
I think that's not bad to you, caused that's your own decision and choice, and no one could change it,
the truth is always crucial to people, especially me, but I accept all and no doubtful.
Anyway, as what I usually said, 「Past was passed...」
so what I'm going to do is just keep moving on, it's also the only way I want to go.
I'm fine and do hope to throw all the unpleasantness soon.
What I want to say for the affair is nothing, so you guys don't ask me any more,
that's totally not my business, you guys know what I meant.
Fine, that's all.

I will keep going.

“It is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in the big city.” Do you agree or disagree?

In my opinion, I disagree with the statement that it is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city. There are many merits if children grow up in the big city. And now, I will give some reasons and examples to support my opinion.
First of all, children who live in the big city will be more competitive than the children who live in the countryside. People who live in the city are usually busy, and they have to face the realities all the time. Thus, they will be afraid that their children will be less competitive than others. Parents will give the best environments to their children. When children are young, they are forced to learn a lot of things, for instance, piano, English, painting, and so on. Also, children live in the competitive city, they will be competitive too, for the environment can arouse children’s potential. As for the children who live in the countryside, they grow up in the happy environment, and they even do not know how competitive the society is. Thus, I think the children who live in the city will be more competitive than the children who live in the countryside.
Another reason is that it is easier to find a good job in the big city than in the countryside. With respect to the living, people live in the city can find a job easily than in the countryside. City stands for prosperous, so there will be lots of work opportunities. Also, we can find out that most of high- tech companies are usually located in the city. That means we can get the job with high salary in the city than in the countryside. With the higher salary, parents can give their children better learning environment, then children can be more competitive. As children are more competitive, they can find a good job easily in the future. The two things are linked to each other. For this, I think it is better for children to live in the city than in the countryside.
The last but not the least reason is that we can get the information easily in the big city than in the countryside. It is no doubt that we can get information easily if we live in the city than live in the countryside. It is possible that if we get new information in the city, then the information will be carried to the countryside after six months. Also, it is true that because of the high speed of information, people who live in the city can have better medical resources than in the countryside. And medical resource is more important than any other things, because it is related to life! For the information getting problems, I think it is better for children to live in the city than in the countryside.
To sum up, I disagree with the statement that it is better for children to live in the countryside than in the city. Children who live in the city will be more competitive and they can find a job with higher salary and also they can get new information easily. As mentioned above, it is true that there are so many advantages for children to live in the city. And they are all my reasons for supporting my statement.

What I had learned from "Survey on University Education"

Many students in Taiwan think that they do not perform as well as the students a decade ago. And not only the students but also the parents in Taiwan worry about the following issues:
Firstly, Taiwanese students are in danger of losing their competitiveness in the global economy. Secondly, the current university system is inadequate, and lags far behind the rest of the world. However, I have different opinion; I do not think we can shirk the responsibility to government. Maybe it is right to say that our ability are affected by the education reform and the university system, however, a person that performs well or not depends on how hard he/she works, not how well the education reform is or how good the university system is. Moreover, although the world changes fast, we are changing too, aren’t we? Thus, how can we say that we students are lack of competitiveness in the global economy? Also, it is mentioned in the article: maybe professors in the university are responsible to that because they lose passion. However, I do not think so, either. Students who want to stand out in this society must be an active learner. We cannot say that professors should be responsible for our bad performance. That is our own fault, not professors’ or government’s. Why don’t we think about ourselves: Am I an active learner? How hard I work? Do I do my best? I believe that if we can do self-reflection we will not be afraid of lacking of ability, because we do have the ability to compete with all the people in this world.

Chinese culture

In Taiwan, there are so many different cultures. Such as we have to sweep a grave on 4/5, and we have to reunite with their families. However, I think the Chinese New Year is the most important culture in Taiwan.
Source of the Chinese New year, with good grounds, it can be before tracing back to several thousand years to be and abundant and adopt more colorful legends. And the most famous one is the legend of ' the annual beast '. 'The annual beast ' is one kind of violent wild animal; ancient people believe ' the annual beast ' will come out to take to people at New Year's Eve. Legend ' annual beast ' fear getting red, flame and noisy sound very much, so people stick the red note to at the door, and light the torch, set off the big gun candle whole night, to avoid ' the annual beast '. Have reached the next day early in the morning, that ' congratulate on ' can be heard without end, defeat the victory and happiness of living again of ' annual beast ' filling the air in the air.
Besides, like other festivals, the food also plays a very important role during the Chinese New Year. Take an example, the fish are indispensable operas involving much singing and action in the Chinese New Year’s Eve, because the fish are symbolizing ' have enough and to spare every year '; The fragrant-flowered garlic represents ' for ever '; Turnip have meaning of ' good luck ', but fish ball and burger are representative ' reunion '. In addition, New Year cake means ' getting promotion continuously ', boiled meat dumpling because form look like shoe-shaped gold ingot, drinking water dumpling means accumulate the wealth for the coming year the Chinese New Year.
The main reason of why I think the Chinese New Year is the most important culture in Taiwan is that no matter how society changes, this idea of reuniting with family is still occupying the most important position in the celebration activity in New Year. So, if you didn’t go home for a long time, don’t forget to go home on the Chinese New Year!

Drama is so cool.

These two days I had been the staff English proficiency competition. There were so many representatives of school. And I saw a lot of fantastic drama in these two days. Every members in the team showed their team spirits and their best when they were on the stage. I enjoyed watching their performance, and I learned a lot from that. Although I was not a member in the drama, I was a staff of this competition. Thus, I thought that I played an important role as well, because I had to control the order and comfort the emotions of the competitors. In fact, I thought that I became more mature after the competition, because I learned a lot from it. For instance, I learned the team spirit, and I learned that how to stay calm when the situation was in a mess! Moreover, I wanted to participate in this kind of competition in the future if I have the chance!

Taiwan's Helicopter Parent
Nowadays, people have less and less children. For raising a child will spend a lot of money, thus, it is common for a family to have only one or two children. And because of that, parents will pay more attention to their children. Then, there are more and more helicopter parents in Taiwan. Parents usually want their children to stand out in the competitive society, so they will pay so much attention to every action their children do. Maybe what they do is their love, but sometimes it is too much. If I were the child, I will be angry at that. For I want to have my own room to do what I want to do. I do not like the feeling of being monitored. Also, if parents involve too much in all the things which are related to their children and prepare all the things for their children, their children will lack of the ability to handle things by themselves. They will rely on their parent all the time, and they will not have the ability of independent thinking. That is because they will think that all the things will be prepared by their parents, and their parents will help them to solve all the things for them. Thus, they cannot handle the problem very well by themselves. In conclusion, it is common for parents to pay attention to their children; however, too much care is not good especially for child, because it will produce bad effect for their children to develop their ability of problem solving.

Students should study only subjects in their majors. State whether you agree or disagree and support your argument with specific reasons and examples.

Personally speaking, I disagree with the statement that students should study only subjects in their majors. There are so many advantages that if students study not only subjects in their majors but also subjects offered by other departments. First of all, students can cultivate their interests by studying different subjects in different departments. Secondly, students can broaden their horizon if students do not study only subjects in their majors. Last but not the least, if students take more courses in different departments, they will be more competitive with others. Now, I am going to use these above-mentioned reasons to explain my position.

First, students can cultivate their interests if they take different courses not only from their own department but also from other departments. Everyone may have lots potential but never be discovered. And when they study not only their majors, they may find out those interests and potential that they never know they really have. As soon as they discover their interests and potential in other subjects from different departments, then it will be very helpful in their learning. According to a research, when people do something he/she is interested in, it will be more efficient than do something that people is not interested in. Thus, I think people can cultivate their interests and enlighten their potential if they study not only subjects in their major.

Second, due to the point of view of society, to broaden our horizon is very important. And I think students can also broaden their horizon by taking more subjects in different departments. Because when you take different subjects you may get more information and more knowledge from those subjects. So, the viewpoint for you to think about things will be more extensive. That means when you think about one thing, and your view will not be limited by those little information you used to have. Moreover, you will make more friends that come from different departments. Thus, you can exchange your ideas from each other than before. Also, you will be more intelligent by taking more subjects in different departments. For the reasons, I think that if students take more subjects in different department can broaden their horizon.

Third, nowadays, it is very hard to find a good job. So, to be more competitive with others is such an important issue. And I think it will make students be more competitive with others if they study not only subjects in their majors but other subjects in other departments. For instance, it is without a doubt that if a boss wants to recruit a new employee and a man who is specialized in different fields will be the first candidate for the job. In addition, if a man who has many specialties can have more opportunities when finding a job. For example, if a man has the language ability and computer ability at the same time, and then he can look for the job which is related to language or which is related to computer. Thus, he has two opportunities when looking for a job. For this purpose, I think if students study not only subjects in their majors will be more competitive with others in the future.

To sum up, I really agree with that students should study subjects not only in their majors but the subjects in different departments. Because there are so many merits for students to take other subjects in other departments, such as, to cultivate their interests, to broaden their horizon, to be more competitive with others and so on.
As mentioned above, I disagree with that students should study only subjects in their majors.

Friends.

I enjoy watching friends so much. The plots are so funny and the characters are funny as well. Moreover, I think that I can learn a lot of slang or phrases from that. In fact, I want to have this kind of friends thus every time we argue, then, we will recover very soon. Also, I want to have friends, who can communicate with each other, I do not want my friends to hide their feelings because that will hurt our friendship. I do enjoy watching movies and learn the language part from that. I think that will help me to learn faster than the way I just read the book, because movies are more vivid and interesting than book. Moreover, our oral class teacher asked us to act a short part of the scrip for our mid-term. That was so interesting, and all the group members did learn a lot from that! “Friends” is such a good movie, isn’t it?

What a happy day!

I was so happy today because I needn’t go to work today, and I had a date with someone whom I like secretly. We had planned the schedule last week. Today we went shopping in the department store, ate a lot of delicious food, and went to the movies! We went to see “The golden compass”. It was so good because the plot was so exciting. And I loved the bear in that movie. The bear was so strong and also I wanted to have the elfin in the movie. The elfin was the best friend of child, and it went everywhere you went. It would protect you when you were in danger as well. What a cool movie, and I enjoy that very much! After watching the movie, we went to Fridays to have our lunch, the food there was so delicious, and I loved it very much! Today was really a happy day for me, and I hope that the one who went on the date with me would feel happy as well! Besides, I hope that we could have other dates in the future! ^^
