The most unforgetable event in my life

I am a christian so I go to church on every Sunday morning. After I was graduate from junior high school, I started to learn how to play guitar and came to another church called Peniel. In the Peniel, there is a band on the stage playing music to praise our God. Our minister also stand on the stage and lead the whole church to praise. I was also a praier then.

On a Sunday morning, I came to curch as usual. The band was also on the stage. After thirty minutes, minister stopped singing and looked at the band. He felt something strange on the band. Then, He looked at all of us and called me up to stage to play the guitar. I was so surprised at that moment. I was also very curious why the minister call me up. The church have other guitar players who are better than me, but I didn’t know the reason why the minister want to choose me.

When I standed on the stage, I was very nervious. I learn guitar only three monthes. I thought that I didn’t play well. Nevertheless, the other misical player talked to me that what I need to do now is try my best and don’t think about any other things.

Although now I play guitar on the stage for a long time, I don’t really sure whether I have this ability to play on this stage. On the other hand, I experiense many things that is different from our real world. I have the chance to learn how to play in a band and I also learned that praise to our God is a very important thing in my life.

My best friend in college

On the first day I came to Chaoyang, I met a new d called Philp. First time when we met each other, he was late for the class. Because of this reason, Philp was been noticed by every student in that classroom. Now, we go to different courses to study, but we go to the restaurant and eat lunch together almost every day. When we have some problems in our homework or report, we will ask each other for help. We have many ways to talk to each other. We will go to library when we don’t have class. We will chat on Yahoo messanger. We will go to watch movie or go to I-Chung street together on the Saturday. However, Philp and I also have different opinions on the same thing. We had an unbearable time for two days because Philp was angry with my behanvior. He thought that I shouldn’t take others fault on him and blame him. He didn’t talk to me for two days and I was also very sad. In the end, we talked to each other and forgave the thing happened two days ago. After the thing was done, I think a best friend should care about other’s thought and forgive other’s fault. Because we are best friends, we know each other’s personality, we can tolerate each other’s speaking. Although sometimes we will make each other feel uncomfortale, we can accept each other because sometimes we will also make other angry. The best friend should tolerate each other and understand each other’s personality when they are talking or getting along with each other.

Labor Education 2nd Editiion

After I became a Chaoyang University student, I knew that the student needs to clean the campus in the first year. Because we have to clean our campus for three years when we were in the senior high school, I didn’t think it was a trouble for me. I cleaned the blackboard every day when I was a senior high school student. Although I have to spend almost 30 minutes cleaning the blackboard, I think that is worth for me to do this. Because the classmates and I can have the clean blackboard in the class, I am glad to do this. Nevertheless, in Chaoyang, because it is a college, we don’t have to clean the campus three times a day. We can choose what time we want to do the cleanup every day. Therefore, I think that labor education in college is easy.

Even though I think positively of the labor education, some others may consider it as a time-wasting activity. However, we can have a clean campus if each of the students spends fifteen minutes cleaning it every day. On the other hand, because of we need to clean our campus only in the first year, I think all of us should try our best to do it.

The camera never lies

Camera is an useful tool for our daily life. It helps us to memory the happy or unhappy things. Camera can also take a picture to help us to understand what the things happened in our daily life. However, are these pictures showing the truth? Although the girls in the pictures are slender, is she really having a slender figure in real condition? The person looks happy in the pictures may be not happy in the real life. We look many pictures on TV or Internet every day, and the pictures also look nice. We still need to think these pictures again or read more information about them. We couldn’t make a decision from the pictures only. The details or background happened behind the picture is necessarily for us to realize the picture. “The camera never lies” let us feel that we seem to know everything on the picture, but we don’t really know the “truth” behind it.

Paparazzi

We can know many things about celebrities on TV. However, maybe not all these people want to be asked about things of themselves. Paparazzi sometimes don’t consider the thoughts of celebrities. They just treat them like animals and sometimes even bring bad situation to these people.

We go to the movies or concert in our free time and watch the actor’s skill. Sometimes, I also want to know other things about the actors in the movie, but when I thought it twice, I realized that why I spent more times on them. The actors in the movies or the author are just people. I have to respect their privacy. Even though he or she is popular, it doesn’t mean we can force them and ask everything about their privacy. Paparazzi have to learn what the basic respect of everyone, although they are celebrities.

Shawn Henning said that, “The paparazzi is a good place to start, but if we limit them we have to put limits on our entire media process, new is news but rumors, lies and speculations have no place in real journalism.” In my opinion, paparazzo sometimes does unreasonable. They hound people to take pictures, to ask many questions and to make up the lies. The media damages these celebrities by using rumors. For example, Michal Jackson and Kobe Bryant suffered from these attacks.

On the other hand, we have to think about what conditions or people make paparazzo do these things. According to Fletcher, “My thoughts are that there is too much obsession by the media about the celebrities and including children is so totally over the line. I look at their work that is what I want to see. The standard is exercised by the media of all kinds of not the public's standard, perhaps it is time to take a look what the public really cares about”

In view of above, we can watch the movies, go to the concerts, and buy some books to read, but we still have to respect these celebrities privacy. We shouldn’t curious about the actors or singer’s personal life so much. The more spaces we give, the more creative or attractive stories we can read.

My winter vacation

At the end of the first semester, I reviewed some course that I had learned. I studied the linguistic and Japanese. Linguistic is a subject you have to think what the author wants to talk to you. Additionally, I should spend more time on Japanese or I will not understand what the teacher talks in the class. I just read them for some weeks and went to prepare the books I need in this semester. I checked books on our school website and bought it from the publisher or bookstore. On Chinese New Year, I went to a pasture with our church. We played games together indoor because there was almost rainy all day and have party in the evening that is a tradition in our church. We have church in Taipei, Taichung and Tainan. Although we went from different places, we met with each other in a good way. We talked about the life or played cards with each other. Furthermore, we are a big family in Jesus. For this reason, we feel happy to do things together. In the same way, teenagers went to bed in the same room. However, the bathroom room didn’t have hot water over the twelve ’o clock. Drummer and I were forced to take a cold shower at mid-night. It was so cold but we couldn’t say anything because the others were asleep. The following night we went into bathroom first and had a hot shower. It was very comfortable to take a hot shower in cold weather. We have many interesting and funny things in the church. I really like this big family and hope our teenagers will be better in the future (We have a new way to take the junior high school’s teenagers that is the college students have to learn to lead the whole party).

Backpacking travel and tour travel trip

We know visiting some oversea countries for a vacation is a good idea. It not only lets us has fun but has many difference experiences for us to share with our friends and relations. Because of our economic support, timing or other reasons we sometimes go to a foreign country only for a few days or for a week. We have many kinds of ways to travel around the world. Nevertheless, there are still many differences between backpacking travel or tour travel trip.

Either backpacking travel or tour travel trip has to prepare for a long time tounderstand places where we want to go and what we should carry around with us. However, we have more freedom and independence on time control, the costs and help us establish some abilities on various encountering in our backpacking travel. An example of this is one of my English teachers met an airplane problem when she went to Europe. Airline Company only supported her over through thatnight and she had to think about next steps, to went or to returned.When we meet trouble whether is in an airport or a unfamiliar country, we should try to communicate with people besides us to know the next planes times and its platform, some local cultures and special spots that are worth to visit ,and so on. You have to search a hotel to check in and calculate the costs very carefully. You need to do all things on this situation that is more exciting for you to travel with an agency.

Tour travel trip almost plans all places and hotels as numerous schemes for you to choose so you don’t have to expend a lot of times on them, but many travelers often consider that the time between places to places is too short. Even though backpacking trip tours only a little countries or spots, we take in much more things about them than we go through a district in a short time and have many parts in our trip.

We know backpacking travel and tour travel trips also need high expense. Weshould pay all the

expense ourself, but there are lots of ways to do that. We can join a travel agency and take its

completed itinerary that is more convenient than us spending time on it. On the other hand, it is

inexpensive for us to get the airlines package, and make a decision on scenic spots by ourself.

On the budget though the whole trip, we can get it in local distinct and alsomeet other backpackers

from different countries. You can share with each other what is happening in this period of time and

make friends with them. While you are working aboard, you realize there economic situation. These

are special experiences you can’t take in on your tour travel trip.

There are many chances and various itineraries for all of us to travel to several nations. We should have good ability on foreign languages and get some knowledge about other countries or international news. These capabilities not only help us realize and contact foreigners in a short time but make the best selection on the limitation. After a wonderful travel, you will have many different and special experiences to share with each other.

Mid-term Exam

Last week and this week is our Mid-term exam. I spend a lot of time on English Grammar and Linguistic. They are more difficult than other subject. However, the test is over, I can take a break, but there also have many bitty things I have to finish. I also very surprise that our teacher upload our test video on Youtube. I also want to say studying original text is not a simple things ;nevertheless, this is our basic capability in our academy. Mid-term test really makes me very tired.

My Church life

Last Friday to Sunday was our church’s special reunion. On Friday night was our reunion that didn’t have too much people. On next day our church teenagers had to go to church practicing our songs for the activity of afternoon and Sunday morning. Later, it was time for lunch. We discussed how we wanted to eat and went to Micdownload, having humbugers and french-fries as our meal. We went back to our church and took a break for only ten minutes because we had another new songs which were needed practicing. Our party began at three o’clock, singing songs, reading Bible and sharing with each other. This time we have a preacher coming from America. He shared some of his and his son’s story. It let me know that there are no difficult things to our God. Finally we ended at seven o’clock. Every time we go to church, we feel that it brings me joy and makes me relax from our busy daily life. In this wonderful time, we seem to be ready for the next week challenges.

Exercise2

The “battle of the sexes” started with Adam and Eve; it will probably continue forever. The opinion that man are superior to women has long been accepted in many cultures; therefore, the feminist movement is trying to change this view. Feminists claim that boys and girls are exactly equal at birth but become unequal because of the way that was believed in education they are treated by society. Nevertheless, recent research contradicts the view that males and females are innately alike

Exercise 1

1. It is likely that people choosing vegetarianism must think eating only vegetables is healthy.

2. Same-sex marriage, perhaps, should not be legalized because it will probably make a great
impact on and mislead teenagers being sexually confused.

3. It seems that those who choose tattoos consider tattoos make them become cool.
They sometimes regard tattoos as fashionable marks.

My self-introtuction

（Jacob Daniel and Samuel. →）

I am so glad that I can get into the Department of Applied Foreign Languages. English is my favorite subject. My major was not English when I was a senior high school student, so I thought that I should study harder than other students to improve my English. I hoped I could be an English teacher in academia when I saw my English teacher teaching us in class, and I thought being an English teacher was dignified. In addition, I can take summer vacation in my future if I am a teacher.

When I received the notice that I could study in Chaoyang University, I read a lot of information about our school. For example, there are many books in the Chaoyang library, and there are air-conditioners in our classrooms. There are various food and drinks in student restaurant. There are lots of students in our class and school, so now it is hard for me to recognize my classmates. Our upper schoolmates held many kinds of activities for us, so we are expectative. I am surprised about our learning materials because we can understand the contents that our teacher wants to teach. We can contact teachers on website, and we can do anything easily about learning. In this institute we have a good environment to learn English and second language, helping us to find a good job in our future. An undergraduate is so different from senior high school students. There are more options we can choose. We can decide what we want and what we need. Also, we have to be responsible for our choices.

Moon festival

When I got up last Saturday morning I just thought what I needed to do today and how much homework I needed to finish. So I was so busy until the afternoon my mother asked what we wanted to do today. My sister reminded me that today was Moon Festival. Therefore, our family decided to go to my hometown to have BBQ.

We fist checked what we wanted to eat or anything we should buy. On the way, my sister was so excited and I was a little tired. After we arrived, we started the BBQ right away. We gave our parents what we wanted to eat and ask them to barbecue the food for us. Then, we waited for it. I ate much chicken and a little corn because I hadn’t eaten dinner. Afterward my uncle came back with my aunt and two babies. We watched TV in the living room and chatted something about TV programs .Then we went together and took a walk for a while. Lastly we cleaned up the grill and went back home. What a fulfilling day!
