July 14

I wonder what you guys are doing. I go to work everyday and rarely hang out with friends. I just hope that all the hard work will come with something.

Summer

Summer vacation is coming. Hope you all can enjoy it and don't forget what we have learned.

Feelings

A friend of mine fell in love with a guy in her class. Every time she comes back from Taipei, she tells me everything that happened to them. I can tell that she really likes that guy. What matters is that she can’t tell him how much she cares for him because she thinks things would be different if she does. She is afraid that they would not be friends anymore if she tells him her feelings.
One of my high school teachers told us that if you want to ask somebody for coffee or something like that you just need to go for it because the answer would neither be yes nor no. I told my friend this but she still can’t step out.
About last week, she told me that she really wanted to give up on this feeling because it is so tiring keep caring for him like this. There are always lots of girls around him and my friend doesn’t want to be like other girls. My friend is always waiting for him to come to her. Every time he talks to her, she would feel nervous and don’t know what to say. I think now all she needs is time, so that she can stay away from her feeling for him. I mean, if she really can’t tell him how she feels.

Journal 4 - The Most Unforgettable Event in My Life

There are a lot of memorable events in my life so far. However, there is one I can never forget. It was during my second year in high school when I got to play the role of the Fairy Godmother in our school’s annual drama, which that year was Cinderella. Before months' rehearsal, we had an audition. Before the director starting to rehearse, we had an audition. Luckily, I was selected to play the role of Fairy Godmother, which was my favorite part of the entire play. We began the months’ rehearsing and preparing afterwards. After the audition, we began one month's rehearsal and preparation. My classmates and I had so much fun but at the same time we had much pressure because of not knowing whether we could perform good enough to reach the director’s expectation.
The day we had our play was a wonderful day; everything goes so well that I wondered if I was having a dream. When I was on stage with Cinderella, the spotlights were so bright that I could barely see people off stage. I then became more relaxed and felt ready to show people what I’ve got. Finally when the curtain went down, the audience applauded and then everybody my classmates and I shouted out loud crying, hugging each other.
Weeks had passed after the play, my friends and I still couldn’t forget about the joy being on stage. Even now I can still remember clearly the moment I was presenting.

Journal 3-Labor Education

I don’t know where this idea, Labor Education, comes from. However, our president and directors believe that bringing this into practice helps college student to learn to be responsible for things. Some people say it is because of the school system; Labor Education has been one of our school traditions since Chaoyang was established. No matter what the purpose is, it seems that Labor Education seems will be practiced for forever.
Early in the morning, I need to drive at least thirty minutes to school. Labor Education starts from seven ten to seven forty, only takes thirty minutes. You might say that it is okay nothing to take only thirty minutes in 24 hours to clean the campus. I say I must get up at six or even earlier in order to get to Chaoyang University, which is quite tough for me.
What I am trying to say is that we can actually learn to be responsible by doing house works for Mothers or thinking more maturely. In my very personal opinion, there are plenty of ways for us to learn to be a grown up.
I say thanks to the school system, because we don't need to practice Labor Education after the first year at college.

S2 Midterm

Some people say that one actually needs to go abroad to learn English well. In my opinion, however, to learn English well has many ways. It can depend on one’s motivation in purchasing knowledge and sources of environment.
One may want to study English because his or her job requires such language to work well. On the other hand, one might just simply want to broaden his or her mind. Whatever the reason is, it is necessary that one clearly understands what the motivation is of his/her learning English. Once one has the motivations in studying the language, he/she only needs to spend time on it. Besides motivations, it is considered important to use information. One can go to a library, a cram school, and surfing the Internet to learn English.
To learn English well definitely takes time. Except for the elements mentioned, the most important of all is to practice nonstop. In conclusion, one doesn’t have to study abroad to learn things well, keeping on working is the best way.

Journal 2 revice

The saying goes: Cameras never lies. However, as the technology became more and more advanced, a lot of pictures could be adjusted. Many of the pictures we see today are colored or shaded. The pictures posted on BEC can serve as a good example. The pictures on the right are different from the ones on the left because they were in brighter colors. What’s more, the stars' slender figure and wrinkles were modified using computer effect.
When celebrities are being snapped a shot, they don’t need to show their feelings. What really shows is the moment they being taken a picture. Cameras can now be used anywhere and anytime because they have a lot of functions to choose from. For example, if it’s night time I could choose a day time mode.
Next time when I see beautiful pictures of celebrities or the famous, I would definitely think twice before saying how great they look.
