     It is always very exciting that it comes to Christmas because the New Year and Chinese New Year are around the corner. We can have much happy time in these weeks.      I always feel that people like to celebrate Christmas the most. There are many decorations and songs for Christmas. There are many Christmas tree and red decoration put in many places and classrooms. Until now, there are concerts and markets for this festival especially in New Taipei City. People like to celebrate it so much.      In my childhood, children always get some candy and candy cane from teachers. We can put the Christmas socks and wish for the gifts while I always not believe at all. I believe that maybe it is possible that Santa Claus is coming when I first listen to this story. After I have some pocket money, I have the exchange gift parties with my friends. I have attend to change good gift and bad gift. Bad thing is very interesting because we have to...

When it comes to holidays, people like to go travel with family or friends or only himself. Most of us like to go foreign country while I want to travel to Taiwan in the first place, even I don’t need to care about time and budget. If I don’t have the time limit, it is a good chance that I can go to a lot of places. I love to go to natural places the most. There are many beaches and mountains in Taiwan. Living near the sea or in the mountain must be a good choice, so that I can see the morning and night sceneries. Watch these before sleeping and after waking up. This is so relaxing with the sound of the sea and the wind. In the mountain, there must be sounds of birds and animals all day. I don’t need to listen to fake natural music and annoying alarm anymore. Morning and night markets are my favorite places to go. It is very interesting to enjoy the different atmosphere of markets. Some of them like to yell very loudly and some of them are very enthusiastic. Observing customers is...

     Each person is special with some cool talents. Most of the meals that I have every day are cooked by my parents before college. I seldom eat outside, but I found that some of my friends eat very less. I can eat at least two bowls of boiled vegetables and many dishes, but my friends only can eat a small bowl of a whole meal. My dream is to attend the big eater challenge because I can a whole pot of noodles and many foods. Eating food is my happy world.      My second talent is listening to two people speaking to me at the same time. I am not very good at it, but I still can do it. I found this talent because of my sisters. They always have many things and can’t wait to share with me. They are so happy and want to first. I tell them to start telling me at the same time and I reply to them separately. I am very happy that I have this talent, but this is very tired of me. I forced that not doing this to me again so that all of us can have a good qu...

     Like most people, I also want a job which can let me earn much money, less work and near home. If you want to earn more money, it is not easy to have less work.      My ideal job is to run a restaurant which sells hot pots and a coffee shop. The most important thing that I care is to have a good atmosphere. People can come to my restaurant to have a nice dating. Customers can be old friends, new friends, couples or family. All of them can enjoy the time in my restaurant. I can see people chatting and playing happily in my restaurant. I can also make friends with them. It is very interesting that each people have specific stories and different reasons to come here. I always like to know many life stories from people.      Selling hot pots and coffee is the easiest way to let groups of people eat together. They can cook the food together and have more chances to talk together. I don’t want to sell expensive foods so that most people and ...

     I am poor at writing skills because I don't get any training on it and the environment. People in Taiwan usually listen and read more often while we seldom practice writing.      My first time of writing can trace back to elementary school when I studied in cram school. I was preparing for GEPT, but actually, I don't know what I was writing. I just write anything that comes up with my mind, so my scores of writing are the lowest of four parts.      After that, I learn how to write formal articles in senior high school, and this is for the college entrance exam. English teacher started to teach us some tips. We started to know how to organize the information in the right paragraph. At that time, I memorized many typical types and idioms. Writing articles seems boring because we only need the same thing to get high scores. However, it really improves my writing skills and decreases the wrong grammar.      In college, I st...

     Marriage seems like an important issue in everyone’s life. In some ages, people start to be asked many times: ”When will you get married?”      For me, marriage can let two people live better. You can always know that there is a person loves you so much and always support you. Marriage is the haven of your life. It can also let people growing up. They can learn how to deal with house works and both family. The most important thing is to get along with another one well so that they can have a happy life. In profit way, the couple can earn more and share more ways to earn more money. If you are too busy at work, another one can help to do the housework. In this situation, you can only focus on business and not to worry about other things.      Everything must have pro and con. Marriage must waste many times and care more each other in order to maintain the relationship. We have to stay with each other or go to travel or do something toge...
