Special Experience

  I used to be a karate player in school team when I was in junior high. Though it took most of my time in daily life to practice and the wounds caused in the training made me hurt, I’m still enthusiastic. All I want was to perform well and get the championship in every competition. However, I had never thought that the award was not that important to me and my life until the most important contest in my life.

  It was the last contest in my junior high. Nonetheless, it might be a turning point of my life. I could get into my ideal senior high if I got the championship. To me, who always gets the award in the contest, lost the game out of the blue. To my astonishment and disappointment, I burst into tears, blaming myself for losing the game. Surprisingly, my coach didn’t blame me but talked to me cheerfully, “Now you are a real player.” I looked at him doubly, and he said continuously, “The player who had never undergone frustrations couldn’t be called a real player. Failure can make people grow. Actually you were not a real player before, but now, one of people who have failed, you are the real winner.”

  Even though I haven’t take part in the competition for a long while after I left junior high. However, what my coach said to me still rings in my mind, encouraging me when I am frustrated. This experience, losing the game but learning a great lesson enables me to become a winner in not only contest, but real life.

The Things I Like About Panchiao

   I used to live in Panchiao in my childhood. It is not a place as prosperous as Taipei downtown, and the environment is not quite comfortable. The main reason I love the place is my childhood memory of the place. When I was a child, my parents were busy working to support the whole family. They were too busy to take care of me, the “firstborn” of the family. So they sent me to my grandmother. Thus, I began the life living in Panchiao. There was a market beneath my grandmother’s house. The market always fills with people especially at night. So my favorite thing to do was crying loudly to ask my grand mom to take me down stair to walk around. The venders in the market were so hospitable that they would give me some candies every time my grand mom held me walking by. Therefore the market became my paradise. When I grew up, I became attached to one of the foods in the market – chicken rice. In this food, chicken meat is torn into slices, combined with rice and sauce. I could never forget how delicious it is. I moved away from there when I was seven, but I still went back often to visit my grandmother, one of the most important women in my life. However, she passed away four years ago. However, every time when I stood in the market, I can still feel the temperature of my grandmother’s hand and the noise the crowds made. It gives me comfort and makes me feel wonderful. With so many memories of my childhood, no matter happiness or sorrow, it enriches my childhood, my memories and my life. Undeniable, it could be the best place in my life forever and ever.

 

Unforgettable Memory

  It was quite an unforgettable memory that I went to the U.S.A to study for two months during summer vacation in my second year of high school. Actually, it cannot be called a course. The chief thing I tried to learn is the “American culture”. Just as my teacher in America said,”The reason that you were here is not just to learn how to be bilingual. The truth is that you were here to learn how to be bi-cultural.” In fact, I love the western culture long before this trip, and I even want to be a western rather than an oriental. So I appreciated to have this precious chance to experience the genuine American life. To cherish this quite short time, I seized every chance to talk with Americans in English. Of course, I also did my best to make friends. I had a really wonderful memory with my friends, enjoying the life in America. And these are the photos that I took.

 They are my teachers and fiends from Argentina, Japan, Korea, and America.

 The picture was taken during the class time. Did you notice the blue book on the table? Ii is a bible!!  The first step to get into American culture is to read bible.

Oops!! HURT!!  We’re playing the “cruel game”

We were having the cooking shop, and I was making the cup cake. Actually, I didn’t concentrate in making cake…. Did you notice the pretty girl in the picture? Actually I was peeping at her.

An Inspiration Dream

  In the English class last week, I learned a lesson from my dream during the class. I used to have a dream when I was a child. I wanted to be a teacher and do my best to teach my students. But things wouldn’t always go my way. No matter how hard I tried, my English stagnated. I feel so frustrated. Therefore, I gave up on myself and gave up my dream. Thereafter, I started to sleep in every English class, avoiding challenging the subject that I could never do well. Last week, I fell asleep again in the class, but I had an inspirational dream. In the dream, I became an English teacher after twenty years, teaching my students grammar. To my disappointment, all my students fell into sleep and didn’t listen to me. I felt so sad and disappointed. Then my sorrow turned into anger. “WAKE UP!!” I shouted with my voice full of anger. As soon as I shouted in the dream, I was woken up by my English teacher. After having this dream, I realized that how hurtful it was to a teacher that the students are sleeping in class. Besides I realized that my dream will come true if I made more efforts. As a saying goes,”Laugh, then the world laughs with you. Creep, then you creeps alone.” Don’t give up on myself and creep alone. Take out my determination. I can make my dream come true finally.

My precious!!!

  When I was ten, I always wanted to have a cute dog which I could confide in and play with. On my tenth birthday, my mom made my dream come true. She bought a little puppy for me! I loved her so much that I couldn’t live without her for even a moment. But something terrible happened because of my carelessness and pride.

  I was so proud to have this cute dog that one day I was eager to show this small precious to my friends, so I brought it to the k. Due to my carelessness, I didn’t tighten the leash. It ran away when I was talking with my friends. I was so sad that I couldn’t help but cry loudly in the park. I blamed myself that I shouldn’t have brought it to the park just because I was so proud to have her. I walked home slowly with my body trembling, I felt so cold even though it was summertime. But miracle happened. My little puppy walked home by herself and waited for me to open the door for her. I ran to it and gave it a hug. I promised that I would cherish it forever and I wouldn’t le this happen again.

Think twice

   When I was ten ,I always wondered if I could have a kitty which I can confide in and play with. Unfortunately, my dream became a nightmare.

  It was a day before my tenth birthday. When I was hiking in the park. To my astonishment, there was a little kitty lurking in the grass. I was so gleeful that I couldn’t help but ran to it. First, the kitty was scared by me and ran away. But after I showed my friendliness, it started to get closer to me and at last played with me. In the evening, I ran back home and told my mom what had happened. By the way, I asked her that weather I could keep this little kitty as my birthday present. Because of my desire, my mother granted me  permission to keep the kitty. But horrible thing happened. The little kitty became an evil destroyer. It messed up the house and make noise all the time. What was worse, it broke all the furniture in the house. At last, my mother could not help but drove it away.

  I learned a lesson from the story “Do not make your choice at the first thought. Think twice before you act.”

                                             

The Bravest Angel

  When I was in junior high. I always think that the grass is greener on the other side; others’ always own a better brain, a strong body until I met the brightest angel in my life. She was my classmate named Yan-Chi Chow, who suffered from epilepsy. Every time her sickness strikes her, she would work as hard as running for one km. Because of her sickness, she always looked delicate and pale; however, there was always a firm smile on her face. I knew that under her smile, what an awful pain she had to bear. Once I asked her why she didn’t just stay at home to recover and lead a more relaxing life, “I don’t think that I’m disabled. Instead, I’m blessed that I still have my arms and legs.I always believe that I have the chances to do what I’m eager to do, and fulfill my dream,” she said at that moment. I was shocked but suddenly realize how lucky I was. A girl who has this sickness can still accomplish her dream. Why can’t I?

  So, every time I feel frustrated and hopeless. I’ll recall what she had said and stand up again to the frustration. Every step I walk helps me get closer to my dream. Maybe she is just a normal person in others’ eyes, but without doubt, she is the bravest angel in my eye.

Amazing Valentine

   Last Valentine, I gave my dearest girlfriend an unforgettable surprise.

   Everything seems calm that night, I waited nervously near by my girlfriends house. Knowing she was cooking for our romantic dinner made me excited. The time passed soon, it’s the time that we were to meet, so I put on the costume of a gorilla and walked on tip toe lest someone or my girlfriend see me.

   Walking in the kitchen, I saw a beautiful woman cooking. I shouted loudly try to catch her attention and scare her. Seeing this gigantic gorilla, she cried out and even broke the plates. I took off the silly costume, saying “Happy Valentine’s Day” and gave her a deep kiss. She was so joyous that she forgot everything that just happened.

   Thanks to this humorous surprise, we did have a brilliant and unforgettable Valentines Day that night.
