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.

Assignment 1 - Paparazzi
Everybody knows that we should respect others. However, it appears that paparazzi care nothing about this sense. They chase after celebrities, stalk them and discredit the reputation of the famous.
No matter one is being chased or is chasing after another, it is a threat to one’s life. For instance, if one is driving on a road and paparazzi is running after him/her. It can be extremely dangerous not only for passengers but also for pedestrians. “I definitely think they go over the top. ...In the past it has been very dangerous to stalk celebrities -- Look at Princess Diana!” said Marla Gill, Yorba Linda from California. It would cause more damages to society if paparazzi keep going over the line.
Michael Fox, the famous actor said that the paparazzi tried to pose as doctors and nurses at the hospital where his wife was giving birth to their baby. What’s worse, they even attempt to snap a shot on celebrities’ private properties. Paparazzi do whatever it takes just to take a picture of the rich and the famous. It is likely that paparazzi do things that are more ridiculous. Gloria Pence, Irvine, from California presents,” I cannot understand how people can become so overly possessed with movie stars and their children. …Why give your thoughts or your attention to them. I say leave them alone to their privacy.” Indeed, I think what we need to pay attention to is celebrities’ public activity not their privacy.
There have been too many cases about how the press and media discredit the reputation of the famous. The well-known Taiwanese emcee Little S was reported to be violated by her husband. However, Little S said the report was not only a slander on her but also an injury to her reputation. In my opinion, writing something that is not true is harmful to people. In other words, it does no good to anybody and no help to society. S. Bishop, Brownwood, from Texas commented, “I get tired of the media thinking we really want to know all the details about the stars. They are just people. I like some of their movies or shows, but who cares about the individual actors.”
Though photograph and journalizing is the way paparazzi make a living, it is celebrities’ hope to give them some peace and quiet.

Rewrite: My first winter vacation in college
It is hard to imagine how fast time goes. My first winter vacation in college has past for weeks. However, I still miss the times I had during winter vacation. I had been working in a restaurant. Besides that, I had a good time hanging out with my friends to Sun Moon Lake and visiting my relatives in Taipei.
I started to work on the first day of Chinese New Year. Chinese prefer to get together on New Years Eve, so the restaurant was full of customers through opening hours. Though I was exhausted working for long period of time, I was glad to earn so much money. By the way, it happened to be my birthday this year. I thought nobody would remember my birthday. However, later on my friend came in the restaurant and surprised me. If I wasn’t working I would have given her a big hug. What’s more, my friends and I visited Sun Moon Lake this winter vacation. I drove for almost one hundred and fifty kilometers to Nanto and finally to our destination: Sun Moon Lake. We took a boat to another side of the Lake and had plenty of food made by native residents. The sights there were so breathtaking that we couldn’t say a word. I would love to visit there again once I get a chance. Last but not least, I went to Taipei to call on my relatives. When I arrived at Taipei, I took the MRT to Dunghu to meet my uncle and aunt. After that we went to Wego to have lunch with my grandmother and cousins. My aunt Nancy treated us with Ice Cream Hot Pot. It was the most delicious ice cream I have ever had.
Although I enjoyed this winter vacation very much, there seems to be something I had not done. I almost forgot to tell you; I'm an English major. Well, like what I said few days ago; I need to work on it or I will forget everything I have learned.My first winter vacation in college was indeed an unforgettable one.

My first winter vacation in college
It is hard to imagine how fast time goes. I spent most of my vacation working in the restaurant. I started to work from the first day of Chinese New Year; and it happened to be my birthday this year. I thought nobody would remember but later my friend came in the restaurant and gave me a surprise! If I wasn’t working I would have given her a big hug.
I had some fun during this winter vacation besides just kept working. It was really interesting to hang out with friends. Every time I go out with them I feel so relaxing and happy. I have been to Sun Moon Lake, night markets, and Taipei. It was my first time going back to my home town for the last nine years. When I arrived at Taipei, I took the MRT to Dunghu to meet my uncle and aunt. After that we went to Wego to have lunch with grandma and cousins. What’s more, we also went window shopping. However, that was not the sweetest part. My aunt Nancy treated us the ice cream hot pot. The most delicious ice cream I have ever had.
Although I enjoyed this winter vacation very much. There seemed to have something I had not done. I ignored the most important part! That would be my major-English. Well, like what I said few days ago; I need to work on it or I will forget everything I have learned.
