Yesterday I had a date with my friend. I have been known her since we were elementary school students. We went to the same junior high school and senior high school, but now we are in different universities. Since we are college students, we usually have a date once a month or two months. Because both of us are busy with our own studies and part-time jobs. Sometimes we chat on line or send messages to each other but not very often. Though we seldom communicate to each other, we can talk a lot when we have dates. We talk about the homework, school life, school reports, friends,…..etc. We can talk everything of our lives without any concealment. I cherish the friendship with her very much because it is lucky to have a close friend.

Today was my brother’s birthday. Last week we went to KTV to celebrate his birthday because his friends didn’t have time this week. He invited lots of friends to go singing. We drank some wine and beer, besides; we had a good time in his birthday party. One of his friends even danced in the box for everyone. I bought a cloth and prepared a cake for him, he was very glad and he told me he liked the present very much. I was lucky that my brother took care of me very much and when I was in a bad mood he could listen to me and give me some advises. I hope he can be happy all the time and I will treasure the good relationship with my brother.

I found that it was a hard task to teach the student to be well-behaved, especially the junior high school students. Today I met a student that he always talked on class and didn’t listen to my teaching. I told him to be quiet almost every week but he still doing things in his way. Last week, I told him to change his seat next week because he continued talking on class, but he didn’t change his seat today and still didn’t care about my warning. I told him to change his seat again than he scolded me in dirty words. I was not only angry but also disappointed. He should do self-examination instead of blame me. It was impolite for a student to speak dirty words. I didn’t expect he can apologize to me, but he should do apologize and be polite to teachers.

What’s the typical life about a college student? College students usually join some clubs, have lots of dates, have energy all the time, and usually go home late. When I graduated from senior high school I planned to attend the university in other places, but my father didn’t agree. He thought it was dangerous for me to live in other places. Besides, he thought I was independent. I thought I could take care of myself and learn to be dependent, most important of all; I wanted to arrange my life. My father is not a liberal person, he always defines me that I can’t go home too late, can’t go on dates often. I am not a child, I can distinguish what I can do or not. It is impossible for me to be a bad person. I am an adult. I really hope he could trust me and doesn’t restrict me so many things anymore.

How can I be motive all the time? Recently, I feel that I don’t have much motivation about my life. I am late for school often. Besides, sometimes I don’t want to go to school. Does anyone feel the same with me? I am tired of doing the same things almost every day. I know that I should be active and studious to my life and studies but I can’t always do things in this way. Having the good attitude of life is very important for everyone. I always encourage and tell myself ``I can do it. Just face it. `` I think I should find a good way to let me feel relaxed or take a short trip to make me having the different attitude of life.

Today I told my boss that I decided to quit my part-time job. It is because I will go to the cram school to prepare for the GEPT exam next month. I will go to the cram school twice a week so I do not have much time to work. My boss was very surprised to hear that I am going to quit my job because I have been her assistant over one year. I know her habits and attitudes to work. She doesn’t have to spent much time to communicate with me about the work; she just has to tell me my work one time than I can understand what she wants me to do. I learned much from the job, for example, I get more patient than before because there are a lot of works I have to finish in a short time. I can’t be impatient or I can’t do well on my work. I am a little sad that I am going to leave my co-workers and my boss. I will keep communication with them and do well on my studies.

Some people think that it is necessary for a student to take a amatory credit in university. I think it is not really true. There are lots of things have to finish in university. You have to take care of the studies, make friends, join the clubs, do some reports…etc. I think if people want to fall in love with another person, you should prepare yourself well first. You have to take care of yourself well, deal with all the chores well, than you may have time to make a boyfriend or girlfriend. If you can distinguish what you have done and what you can do or not, than you can love and take another person. How can you make a boyfriend or girlfriend if you don’t prepare yourself well? Before you fall in love with another person you should be confident of yourself and be mature to see all the things around you. Most important of all, people should pay responsibility to love your lover.

After the mid-term exam I think I should pay more attention and study harder on my studies. Take the linguistics for example; I didn’t do well on the subject and might fail it in the end of the semester. It is very complex and has to memorize lots of proper noun, for example, morphemes, bound and free morphemes, compound noun, inflectional suffix…, etc. We have to distinguish those proper nouns and write down the meanings of each proper noun. Beside, we should have the ability to recognize which is the inflectional suffix or prefix. I don’t why we should learn it. If we want to be an English teacher we should be good at the subject? Is the linguistics useful for everyone as speaking, writing, and listening? Although the subject will take me a lot of time to prepare, I still have to pass it. It is because that it is my duty to pass all the subjects no matter how I like it or not.

I am interested in playing volleyball since I was a senior high school student. It was my first time to play and learn how to play volleyball when I was in the first grade of senior high. My school held a volleyball game and asked every class to join it. I was not good at playing volleyball and it was a hard task for me to play it well in the short time. I practiced playing volleyball with my teammates and PE teacher almost five days a week. All of my teammates felt stressed and was nervous about the game because our competitors were two years older than us. My PE teacher continued encouraging us and paid much patience with us. Finally we lost the game, but we didn’t give up playing volleyball. It not only become my interest but also become my favorite activity in my free time.

Recently, I heard some information by my cousin about going abroad to have a part-time job during the summer vacation. It is held by school and it can be attended only by students. My cousin will attend the activity from July to September next year. She tells me everyone should take at least ten thousand dollars and will live in homestay. She suggests me to attend the activity in the future. She says it can not only improve the ability of English but also learn how to take care of herself. It is her first time to go abroad; she is very nervous and excited about that. Besides, she can’t wait to do it. I hope I can attend the activity next year. I can make money and most important of all, I can learn lots of experiences in the foreign country and learn to deal with the chores by myself.

A wedding

A wedding
I still remembered I attended a wedding in Taipei last year. The couple fell in love with each other for almost eight years. The couple arranged the wedding by themselves, they rented a small restaurant and arranged the food, decorations, bridal veils…etc, and they didn’t let their parents to worry about the wedding. Their parents told us that they were told to attend the wedding and decided the attendant. We could see that their parents were very proud of them. Before the wedding started, the couple showed us a video which recorded their stories and the process that the bridegroom asked the bride to marry him. All the attendants there were so touched by the video. I believed they could be happy and blest in the future because they had a beautiful love.
