The differences between living in dormitory and home.

I had lived outside in the rented house along for four and half years, and have moved into the dormitory recently. Both of them are quite different from living at home with parents. Living at home and in dormitory is similarly acceptable for many students. Each of them has their own merit and demerit.

The differences between these places are freedom and convenience. The most appealing attraction to live in dormitory is freedom. Basically, students living off-home can do every thing as they like without parent’s restriction. In addition, it would be fun to stay with the same age roommates. They can go out with friends in the midnight or discuss the assignment with roommate. In contrast with living in dormitory, living at home has less freedom than living in dorm. You have to go home and go to bed on time not to mention staying outside and playing whole night long. And even if you are completely exhausted when you get home and yearn for silence and relax, there is still someone will remind you a lot of things to do.

Speaking of convenience, no matter living at home or dorm has advantages in different ways. Living in dorm is convenient in traffic. Classrooms are just hear by where you live. You don’t have to wake up early and take the crowded transportation to school. All you have to do is sleep until the ten minutes before the beginning of class, then get up and go to classroom with free and easy. However, living at home is convenient in living which is more important than traffic. The cleaning clothes will always appear automatically in your closet, garbage will be removed everyday and there are lots of food to eat without buying and cooking. All the house works will be done before you get home.

General speaking, living in dorm is more freedom and living at home is more convenience. I can never tell which one is much better. I have experienced each of them and enjoyed in both very much.

The Moment of closing death (Free writing 3)

Speaking of the unforgettable experience, some impressive serial pictures just occur to my mind. I have two most dreadful experiences which almost resulted in death. It always reminded me when people talked about the situation. Here I want to narrate is the first story. The first event is drowning which I believe a lot of people had undergone.

I remembered it was a wonderful weather that day. The sky was serene and sun shined with breeze. My friends and I felt boring and nothing to do at home. After an discussion we decided to go swimming. Without any hesitate, we rode toward Naiwan(內灣) which is an idea swimming place for resident here. 40 minutes later, we arrived to our destination.

Being aware that I had poor skill of swimming and even didn’t know how to change breath, I just dared to stay at the shallow as well as a friend, who is called Fisher. However, I felt safe because the other two of my friends are excellent swimmer. I believed they will rescue me if necessary. Therefore, Fisher and I took our ease and learned dive from some strangers. After finishing our first jump, we felt fun and wanted to try again. We walked in the water toward the big stone which is our nature diving board and prepared to scramble on it. Yet hadn’t touched the stone, I suddenly fell into a hole under the water and Fisher seemed to fell as well. I felt an enormous strength to push me beneath the water. It was Fisher’s hand.

The struggle for life gave her marvelous force. On the contrary, I tried to have myself calm down and think what to do while I was sinking. Few seconds later, I hit the bottom of the hole. I saw Fisher’s foot above me moved fast due to the struggle. I considered whether I could walk away the hole to the shallow. Didn’t know how long was past, I raised my head again. Fisher stopped struggling and was pulled out of water. Someone was there and saved her. Therefore, I gave out my last breath to jump up to see if someone would grab my hands or I could grab something. When I reached to the highest which I could get, I got nothing but hopelessness and fell again. Suddenly, An hero of mine hold my arms and had me out of the river.

Fisher seemed like scared and chocked. The other two friends had just known what happened and asked how was me. “Everything is fine,” I laughed “and fun.” I then returned to the big stone and dived again.

Be Kind to man’s best friends(Free writing 2)

Undoubtedly, dog is our best friend. They are faithful, considerate, lovable, charming, and energetic and sometimes they are good listeners. Whenever I feel said or anxious, I will talk to them and they will give eyes back with compassion. The puppy eyes make me believe they can understand me. Even if I am angry to them due to my bed temper, they won’t blame to me. We rarely find a friend like this so we must treasure our best friend.

Dogs are not only loyal to their owner but also kind to others. Some people say dogs should be raised for food, not as pets because they think it cause disease, bark at night and is just obey their owner. However, besides their master, dogs do save other people’s life. According the Pine Street Foundation, Michael McCulloch, “They (dogs) were identifying who had cancer, and they were also saying who didn’t.” In addition, we had heard that a Husky saved an infant from drowning in the toilet. Sagas like this are countless. Therefore, they are not only a cute puppy with body fuzz, but also a hero of saving human.

On the other hand dogs should be trained instead of spoiling. As police, they can sniff out bombs, detect drugs and find the missing and deceased when no human can. As guide dog, they can help blind people not only for guiding but giving mental support. As life assistant, they can pick up the newspaper every morning for you or carry heavy things for you. The precondition is that you need to teach them what to do and what not to do. Whether you believe it or not, some people start to teach dogs to read. Bonnie Bergin, the president of Assistance Dog Institute shows how to use flash cards to teach dogs to read in her new book Teach Your Dog to Read.

To summary, next time when you see a dog come to you with the teeter-totter gait, be kind to them because according to McCulloch, sometimes dogs know us better than we do. Maybe one day we can give the citizenship to man’s best friend.

Why I major in Business Administration-II

I have studied BA for almost two years and am going to graduate. To retrospect the reasons why I chose this subject, it was a long and funny story.

The first reason is the affection of environment in which I grew up. As soon as I graduated from junior high school, I was admitted to National Taipei college of Business(台北商專). That means I had less chance to touch other majors than business-related majors. Moreover, my parents are typical businessmen having a small restaurant. During my learning age, what I’d learned from them are business ways of earning money, so I thought I was aspired to be an artful but wise businessman. Though I found I really wanted to be a veterinarian few years later, everything was too late. After five years studying in business, business-related subjects seemed to be my optimum choice. This is why I steped in the field.

The second reason is the failure of transfer exam. I tried to major in Finance, which is different from BA. Unfortunately, some ridiculous and amusing things happened sequentially. What I’m about to tell is all truth. I attended only three schools transfer exams. The first one is National Taipei University (NTPU). I was really stupid enough to fill my answers into wrong blanks and was deducted by 50 scores! The second one is National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). The day before the exam, there was a big fight between my brother-in-law’s and my family. I had mediated their argument until the morning then rushed to Tainan without sleeping. No matter how much coffee I drank that day, I still fall asleep during the test. The last school is National Chengchi University (NCCU). When the test was about to begin, I found my test certification was left at home. Rushing back to get it and being late for my test made me nervous during the whole period of test. The rest is a history, I failed the three exams.

The last and the most influential reason is that if I want to study in NTUST, I can only choose Business Administration department. There isn’t any alternative in this school. However, before making a decision, I checked the faculty and curriculum on the Internet and I found the department is a good launching pad to my coveted Finance. Not only does it include extensive courses, but you can still choose one of the themes of monograph such as Human Resources, Marketing, and Operating Management, etc. and research what you are interested in. What is more, teachers here are sophisticated. Take my financial management teacher Mr. Shie and human resource teacher Mr. Liou for example, Mr. Shie was a former CFO of CLSA (香港里昂證券) and Mr. Liou is a consultant of many small business. I expected to be a man of experience, so I decided to register here and major in BA finally.

All in all, I am glad of majoring in Business Administration now. I deeply believe that I will study harder to major in what I really want and be more competitive in the future.

Giving more positive attitude to our environment (Free writing 1)

Human should love their environment more as child to mother. This is not an article giving you steps pertained how to protect our environment. We are not lack of information about how to deal with environment problem. Then why dose the situation keep deteriorating? Why don’t these work?

Most of people don’t know what correct attitude they should have. Some people don’t care these environment problems because they think these aren’t their business. Others may even don’t understand how serious the problem is. One of the most pretexts I’ve heard are that they think it is impossible to solve this enigma due to the existing conflict between natural and technology. And some people said it is useless to put effort in this issue because of the limited effect ion by single person, and then they give up. That’s why we can see that someone do things harming the earth and said they love it. Love is love’s action, not just words.

Actually, changing your attitude can conquer most of these difficulties. People should understand that protecting our environment not means we have to devote ourselves to trouble things. There are only two easy attitudes we have to keep. First and the most important attitude is care. We must care things closed to our habitations. We also need to care the Earth. Care means that you will read the relative reports, for example, “The greenhouse gas of the plant had reached the new record,” and news giving information of new eco-friendly merchandizes like the mobile phone casing that actually blooms. Gradually you will know what helpful things you can do and what you shouldn’t do. Second and the rest one is keep thinking. Consider what the result to environment is before you do everything. It sounds a bit of trouble, but when you get used to it, you’ll find all of the things are just lifting your finger. For instance, recycle everything can be recycled, from a piece of paper to electronic gadget including your mobile phone, and don’t waste resources like water.

All in all, you now can observe what’s going on. You can be a voyeur and literally understand how nature works, how beautiful it is, and try to learn from what you see. The more you learn you love the paradise more.

What you and I need to know is that where I grew up because that is effective factor to form my characteristic.

My family

I'm the youngest child in my family. Despite of my parents, I have a brother and sister. To begin with the only child, my Dad, he always remains curious about new things and desire to contact them. Yet, whenever he can’t obtain what he want, he will act as a capricious child. What I learned from him is how to play such as fishing, climbing mountains, building house, and traveling etc and the most important thing is that whatever we are going to do, we should focus on it. Then is my mentor, Mon, who has a skinny figure and some kind of messy hair. She always has warm smiling on her face and that makes her amiable. Sometime she told us philosophy of living so we respect her most. What I learned from her is that no matter how bad situation we faced, we should keep optimistic. She also teaches me what happiness is. Next is my beautiful sister who is eight years older than me. When I was child, she usually bought things for me, like clothes, shoes, food, etc. Although she was married, she always came home to stay with us. She let me know that someone will be there for me forever and that really encouraging me. Than I want to introduce my fellow, brother. We almost have same interest such as sports, TV games, movies, except telling innocent jokes. He is good at everything he is interest in. I find myself try hard to catch up with him imperceptibly. He became one of my targets. Finally, I have some friends in my home. They are four dogs, one cat, and a snake. They make this home a bustling place.
