     This is very hard for me that I have never been to any other countries. I can not understand other countries culture very details and how they live in daily life. I can only decide what I have learned before. If I could choose where to be born and grow up, I might choose Japan.      Japanese culture touches me a lot. They always care about people's feeling and prevent to hurt them. Even though Japanese people want to refuse the invitation, they will not refuse directly and not let others feel shame. If someone wants to refuse you, you need to say it is ok. In this situation, people who are sensitive will feel better. I can also happier when I want to refuse people. Refusing is a difficult skill.      Snow is also the reason that I want to live in Japan. There is snow on the mountain especially FUJI mountain. In the winter, they always snow. Snow is so beautiful that I want to watch most of the day. Cold water can let...

     English is the global language nowadays, so everyone in this world needs to learn English. American culture influences the world deeply. If Chinese becomes the global language, our daily life will be changed a lot. First, we don't have classes to learn English. It is more probable that we only can speak Chinese and we can't speak other languages. There are some positive people will not only learn Chinese while most of us aren't. In this situation, we might be less competitive.      In order to make ourselves be more valuable, we have to prepare more instead of staying in the comfort zone. I can speak Chinese, so I don't have to spend too much time to learn and I can communicate with foreigners. I want to sell things and bring my culture from my country to the world, such as Taiwanese food and slippers.      Becoming a strong language of our country, there are more responsibilities to maintain our habit and contribut...

English      Nowadays, more and more people learn English. We can use English to go travel around the world. When we try to talk with foreigners, we always use English in the beginning. In Taiwan, we start to learn English when we are little. Learning English is important for us.      I began learning English in kindergarten, and I also went to cram school. My teachers usually use fun ways to teach me. This is also the reason why I like to learn English. It is excited that I can use English to chat and talk about daily life, and I can no longer only speak Chinese. I am proud of myself that I can talk fluently with foreigners in English. In the first time, I told a foreigner where the bus station is. When I grew up and learn more English, I can teach foreigners Chinese and talk about more topics.      After learning English for so many years, my English skills are no longer better than everyone. There are also many diffi...

     There is a library in the building five in our school. Most the students like to go to the library when they have break times or go to study. Especially before the exam, there are always full of the students.      If you have been to the library, there is a tree in the middle of the library. Let me tell you why it is there, but you need to keep it a secret. There was a forest at the site of YZU. The engineers need to cut off all the trees, and it is successful at the beginning. When they started to build the building 5, a tree started to grow after the day tree was cut. That tree grew very quickly and as large as before. After a whole day, the tree became the same height as before. Some of the engineers tried to cut it down, but it grew up and taller the next day. All of them get sicked. No one has any idea to deal with it.      All of the engineers were shocked by this situations, so they went to the temple of Land God(土地公). They ask ...

     I stayed in the Carrefour for many months, waiting a master bought me. I was wondering my master like to drink water or not. I want to drink a lot of juice, milk tea or coffee every day.      One day, Michael comes to take me home. It is comfortable that there is usually room-temperature water. Sometimes, it is very hot so I can get cold water. Although I can suffer warm water and even hot water, it is excited that Michael never hot water for me. I don't like to suffer hot water. Another important thing that I want to argue. Michael never gave me drinks except for water. I hope that I can have some drinks in my life.      I found that Michael always likes to drink water anytime. One time he was blamed by his teacher because he put me on the desk of 5730 (a computer classroom). Is it wrong for putting me on it? Drinking water is important! If Michael doesn't drink water every ten minutes, he will go crazy. I am so depress...

     Before the first meeting, they wanted to change the time from Friday to Monday. I help everyone to negotiate when we all can have time. Only I have a celebration feast that night, so I show up only a little time.      There are Sunny, Courtney, Mireia, Wiktoria and Katarzyna in our groups. Our partners are very nice all the time, and they don’t have strong accent. We talked about languages and culture. They share us about La Tomatina. They said that they have never attended this. We talked about how to say “Hello” in different languages. Next time, I want to learn more words. All of them have been to many countries in Europe. Wiktoria had been to Africa. None of them have been to Asia. I invite them to come one day. I can guide them to travel in Taiwan.      Although I am late for the meeting, all of them don’t angry at me. When we are talking, we all have smiles and we try our best to communicate. I really appreciate that I have nic...

Dear Michael:      2028 seems so far away! At that time, I will be almost 30 years old. Will the world be more technological, convenient and peaceful? Will the gap between the rich and the poor smaller?  It's hard to imagine. This is me in 2018. Studying second grade in YZU, I finished an orientation event for freshmen last week. Attending activities is exciting for me, and I am going to start learning dancing. There are plenty of goals that I want to do. I also want to travel around Taiwan with my family. For myself, I have no idea whether I should refuse to attend the student association of my department or not. I also have no idea to have an exchange or not. I hope that I will have an answer earlier.       Maybe in 2028, I might have a job. My dream is to run a restaurant with my family. I need to have enough money and skills to run it. The most important thing is to have a great food and style for my restaurant. I really want to...
