Guess

Everyone in the world is guessing. Guessing how will teacher give the problems, guessing what result will be if I do this, guessing what the people next to you is thinking. However, guessing by youself might cause misunderstanding. Judge from the scene in just a glimpse can even destroy the friendship between two people. Dealing with all these thing is annoying. Just have some thoughts suddenlyXD.

Final Exam

Soon, the final exam is around the corner. However, I can not devote all my time studying yet. I have something else to do in the Best Melody, including graduation ceremony and waving good bye to the seniors. Exams, presentations, essays, and performance occupied all my leisure time. Lots and lots chores make my schedule filled. All I wish is get through these weeks safely and all passXD!

The Situation of Myopia in Taiwan ver.2

The Situation of Myopia in Taiwan ver.2
The most severe questions in Taiwan now must be Myopia and Obesity.

Moreover, Myopia spread widely between any age of people. According to

experiment report of National Central University, there are about 84 percent of

college students are suffer from Myopia in 2006. Of course these two years the statistics become more severe. In fact, the psychological reasons leads to Myopia are loss flexibility of lens in our eyes. However, the most direct reason to cause Myopia is bad habits to use eyes.
The reason leads to Myopia is that if you stared at a certain thing too long, a tissue in our eyes calls lens will lose its flexibility. As time goes by, the tissue can never be back to its original shape. This is how Myopia happens.
However, it is not the direct reason to cause Myopia. I regard the direct reason are as follows. First of all, the improvement of technology should be blame. Why? Because it makes students spend their leisure time

Mature

I regard my self definetly not a mature man. Especially in recent days. I have always been easily controlled by my emotion. I have been tired recently, and I realize something gradually I realize that when others and I are tired, I had better shut up. Because at these moments, even a joke will become a knife to hurt people. I realize that I have to learn to controll my emotion, don't put my emotion onto others, and even hide myself. All of this are things I can't deal with. I realize I need the most basic respect. If people don't show their respect to me, I will lose my mind. Moreover, recently I have less and less time to get along with my roomate, I feel very sorry that I can't spend my time with them. It seems like I am gradually out of their circle of life. All of this are because of my lack of mature. All I can do is try my best to learn to become better. And that is what I really want to do.

Thoughts

Nowadays Best Melody is going to have a presentation toward the whole school. Therefore, we now are busy for things that even not think of before, like ask for sponser, prepare for the process of the activity. However, because of intense stress, everyone seems gloomy these days. Of course, the attitude between person will never be good. Therefore, there are many argument and annoying words appearing. I know this is the nature of human, but it is indeed not comfortable when people don't give you any respect you want. It makes me wondering what on earth I am busy for. It feels like all my time gone away between my fingers, but I don't even know who or what I do this for. It really doesn't feel good.

Free writing

Today we have a coffee meeting with our home room teacher. We are going to share some touching stories with her and our classmates. Although my story is not a moving story, I still look forward to this meeting. I didn’t prepare the moving story well, so I am afraid of being asked by the teacher. It is a coincidence that I have to go to two coffee meeting. I think it may take much time. I hope that the coming coffee meetings would be meaningful. I hate wasting my time doing what I do not want to do. I like doing what I am really interested in and what is good for me. In fact I really hate mother Chou, since she always blame something meaningless on us. Yesterday, after my plant report has presented, she scold me that I was not diligent for preparation. I feel a little upset, but I thought it means that I have many space to get progress. In the coffee meeting, I will try to make a good job, not wasting any people’s time. I hope everybody have the same opinion with me.

Feelings

Recently, I started to learn to take responsibily from the Best Melody. To me, it symbolizes boundless work to do and experience to learn. This weekend our seniors will give us a series of training course, it sounds fun. However, except having fun, I expect myself to learn something from the course. No matter the time dealing skills, communication skills or singing skills, I really expect to see my improvement. Learning those experience might be invaluable treasure in my life. Especially, my job is more focusing on the dealing interpersonal relations and singing skills. The former is what I really need to learn. And the latter is the most important part, also my biggest motivation to join in the club! After all, no matter how hard the life will be, I will try my best to hold on and head forward!

Recently

To be honest, recently I have been quite busy and annoyed. After biology and chemistry mid-term exam, there are lots of papers and presentations to prepare. However, despite of those annoying work, there are some other reasons affecting my mood, and worrying about whether I have the ability to be other's senior is one of them. I don't know what I have to teach them. On the other hand, taking the position within our choir is also a source of stress. whatever, there are lots and lots of stressful thing, and now, I am going practicing singing.

Seasons of Love
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure-measure in a year?

In daylight-in sunsets In midnight-in cups of coffee

In inches-in miles In laughter-in strife

In five hundred twenty-five thoudand six hundred minutes

How do you measure A year of life?

How about love?

Measure in love

Season of love.....

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure the live of a woman or a man?

In truth that she learned or in times that he cried

In bridges he burned or the way that she died

It's time now to sing out

Though the story never ends

Let's celebrate Remember a year in the life of friend

Remember the love measure in love

Seasons of love....

In diapers-report cards

In sports wheel-in speeding tickets

In contracts-dollars

In funerals-in births

In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you figure a last year on earth?

Remember the love.....

Seasons of love....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do you measure your time? Moreover, how do you measure your life?Everyone may have different answer. But this song, which is from the movie "Rent", it regards that the answer is "Love". To make it more clear, love stands for fragments of beautiful memory, and that is the only thing you can remember after several decades. Therefore, measuring a year by seasons of love is the bestway! I was deeply moved by its lyrics and melody since I heard it the first time. It is a great song, and now I share it with you.

My English Blog!!

It's been a long time since I dreamed of having my own blog. However, the lack of motivation has long been my barrier. The reason is that it is so embarrassing if I lose my passion to keep writing. Now, I have the opportunity to have my blog in English. Therefore, I can share my emotion and colorful college life in my blog. Sometimes I will also share some great songs I heard on the Internet or in the choir. Tomorrow we have a chemical analysis midterm exam, so now I have to go to study.

Comparison of two ads




Outline:
Topic Sentence: The two ads have same ways and different ways to achieve the advertising effect.
Main point A: the left picture
Evidence:
1. using unreasonable effect to make expression (same)
2. point at the stability (different)
3. way of presenting (different)
Main point B: the right picture
Evidence:
1. using unreasonable effect to make expression (same)
2. point at the speed and efficiency (different)
3. way of presenting (different)
Concluding sentence: Every advertisement have the same purpose--- to make impression on consumers, but they will be presented by unlimited ways, that is why the advertisements are always attractive.
Comparison of two ads
The two ads have same ways and different ways to achieve the advertising effect. We can look at them one by one.
From the first picture, we can see a box of poker was sent to the destination barely moved. It seems very unreasonable in the real life, but it does make a deep impression on our mind and successfully achieve the effect to advertise. On the other hand, this advertisement use a kind of positive and direct way to brag about its stability.
From the other picture, we can see a fire engine go out from a Fedex truck to put out the fire. Also, it seems impossible to happen. How could a fire engine in a Fedex truck? How could a delivery service faster than fire fighter? They also spared no effort bragging about the speed and efficiency. However, it does make everyone realize what they want to express and reach the purpose of advertising. Regarding the ways of presenting, different from the straight forward way of advertising, picture B uses a kind of ironic way to give a sharp comparison of lack of efficiency fire engine and indirectly make people realize the speed that the delivery service have.
Every advertisement have the same purpose--- to make impression on consumers, but they will be presented by unlimited ways, that is why the advertisements are always attractive.

Self Introduction Ver. 1

My name is Ristan, which I gave it to myself in my senior high school. Not long ago, I just escaped from the JCEE, getting into CGU, and now enjoying my freshman year. My extracurricular activity stands for my habits. I joined in tabletennis, tennis, and the choir. There is a singing contest lately, so we are having an intensive training. It almost takes all my leisure time away! However, it was just three weeks sinve I joined it. I should take more time practicing for fear of being everyone's barrier. Even I think so, the intensive training days really wore me out. Lots of setbacks and a sense of powerless really drive my crazy. But I will try my best. I am willing to give my voice if I can help the choir win the champion!
