Dear Mommy:
I miss you so much. Sorry I haven’t gone home for a long time. But I’ve been very busy. I had to prepare the entrance exam of graduate school.
In a month I am with you. I am looking forward it. The test was over today, and I am going to prepare the interview. Surprisingly, I got good grade and so are my friends. Everyone was excited about it. We taught each other what we should prepare. I like them so much. In the end of the month, we will know the result of the interview.
There is good news that I must tell you. A swimmer in my work place said he will give me a laptop as a prize because of my good performance on studying. At the beginning I wanted to refuse that, but latter I thought of sister, she said she had desired a laptop for a long time. So I decided to accept the giving.
Last month you told me that you were going to run out of money. Don’t worry, this time I am going home with some money. Besides, I got a good part-time job so that I can bring more back next time! By the way, I hope you can stop Dad’s wasting money. Don’t let him buy too much coffee. It’s also not good for his health.
P.S. Be kind to your husband. You always be too rough to him.
Yuffie

Work in the United Hotel
During these three days(6/1,6/4,6/5), I worked in the United Hotel which is located at Fu Sin Road, 200. At June 1th, I met Jake Tong, who is vice manager of the hotel. I am empressed about his outstanding of talking. Even though we have a great age gap which is about 30 years, he was no dare to chat with Ketten and me. In addition, he knows how to extend the topic we discussed. This is a talent I need because I am too stupid to talking to make friends.
At 6/4, 6/5, it were really boring days. There is almost no client. I just read and read, but the light was so weak that I feel unconfortable with my eyes. Yet, I still continue to read because I don't know what to do. The other reason I felt unfortable is my dress. I really hate dress like a ... girl. How shamed I was when I sit there.
After the two-day work, I understood how bad the English ability I have. Except the bedge, I totally didn't understand what these foriegners are talking about. My answers were always the same: "Do you want to go to the Computax?" or "Are you Exhibitor or Buyer?" As soon as forigeners showed their unpatient to me, I felt sad. I learned such a long time English, why couldn't I understand even a word?

Mr. Black's speech about carnegie
When my friends and I reached the council at which Mr. Black had a speech, it was so crowded that we had no seat but amiable Mr. Black had us sit on the stage. The topic of this speech was “How can we success as well as happy?” In the beginning, he cited a sentence “Work hard and work smart, but it is hard to work smart in Taiwan.” This means that sometimes we are influenced by the environment. Our parents didn’t give us enough intelligent to dealt with all the things. Then he cited Jack Welch’s word “If the changes of inside slower than that of outside environment, the company are dying.” So do us. Following are seven tips helping success and avoiding being dying:
First is keeping growing. Stretch the comfort round. For example, talking with stranger, found a business, or change your work.
Second is being confident. Being confident means you have a positive attitude and correct self-conscious. All of us must suffer some setback, but the way of thinking about the problem is the key point. We must understand it is okay to fail, yet we have to learn from the fail.
Third is the ability of communication. The bad ability of communication leads to serious result. Don’t worry if you have a poor skill of communication. Everything can be changed. Lots of famous entrepreneurs weren’t good speakers as they are now. Then why we can’t do it? Practice!
Forth is team and social relationship. Most of the people yearn for acceptance, so if we can praise and thank others properly and frequently, we can extend our relationship. This is not only for friend or business but also to our parents.
Fifth is leadership. The good leader will built rapport with subordinates in stead of centralized management.
Sixth is enthusiastic. Everyday is a new day. You have to seem like you are in the first day of work. It is not means the skill but the attitude. By the way, smiling is the show of enthusiasm of the deep heart. Study said that smiling can improve at least 25% performance。
The last is vision. You should recognize the deeper and farer ways of the events rather than the appearances.
Above is the Mr. Black’s opinion of being success and happy. During the speech, he gave a lot of examples and interesting stores to prove the theories. He is a great speaker because he did attract all the audience’s attentions and left great influence on me.

Muhammad Yunus
Speaking of the celebrity, I think of a person whom I knew recently. He is Muhammad Yunus, the winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. I was intrigued as soon as I heard his story from a report of my classmates. After the class I searched some information about him from some magazines. More I know him, more I like him. He became my hero, my idol, and my favorite celebrity. I like him not because what he is but what he had done and what he is doing. He established the famous Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and helped so many poor people from being in poverty cycle. Following is the reasons why I adored him so much.
First, Yunus demonstrated me how an economist can help people, even though he said that economic model didn’t teach him how to build a bank. I aspired to find a way protecting the natural environment or telling people how important it is for quite a long time but most of my friends and my family tried to persuade me not to do it. They said a person hasn’t enough strength to change the world and I should take care myself. I deeply believed they are wrong but I can’t certify that. However, Yunus gave us the real example. He changed at least one hundred million poor people’s life.
Second, he sacrificed himself. He lost his wife and daughter and gave up the luxury car, villa, and being a college professor. Everyone laughed him how stupid he is but I totally understand the feeling of doing the right thing. He didn’t be influenced by other worldly people. On the contrast, he touched the hearts of many people including me.
Finally, the most powerful reason is how he achieved this. Yunus said charities cannot solve the problem but let us avoid the responsibility to worry about the poor. Sometime it will cover our conscience. Therefore, he founded a bank and invented the microcredit which gave women in Islam country a chance to earn money by borrowing money. He also gave these women new ideas, like they can make the food and sell it, which is forbidden in Islam country. In addition, the return rate of the loan is 99% which is the dream of most of the other banks. I believed there must be a way to make money while helping the poor or the environment. Now he proved that it is achievable.
All in all, I like him because of his intellect, his kindness, and what he had done. Yunus gave me hope and taught me a lot of things. He challenged the social, the religious, and the government. All the things he’s done are for others, not for himself. He is so brave that I would say, like his daughter, “I am proud of him.”

Anger Can Make a Terrible Mistake（Free writing 8)
Are you always angry with someone else for a negligible thing? Do you have the experience to be upset about doing what you don’t want to do? If both the answers are “Yes”, you must be careful. As the saying goes, “Anger is what you punish yourself for other people’s fault.” It is definitely right. Anger can really hurt you.
However, there are too many reasons to avoid angering. For instance, you make an appointment with your friend, but he or she was late; you lost a game or much money; your parents gave a lot of restrictions to you; you found that your intimate friend deceived you, etc. In addition, someone anger because he can’t reach his expectation. For example, you got a low grade on your favorite English composition in school. Unfortunately, these situations are always around us in the world.
When you become angry, you will feel uncomfortable such as headache, stomachache or hard breath. That’s very dangerous because people who always anger will have more chance to get cancer. Anger can also lead you to lose your mind, so you will do everything without thinking. Needless to say, you wouldn’t know what you have done or spoken. Then your friends might become victims. Worst of all, you might lose good friends. Besides, when you are unhappy, you must have a face as long as a fiddle, so that no one wants to close to you. You will have a poor friendship. But the most dreadful thing, which we don’t like to see, is that anger can destroy one’s life! We can learn that from prisoners. “I was out of control because I was irate, but now I am very regret about that. It was a mistake,” they always said. In this regard, we should try to do our best to restrain our bad sentiments.
As a matter of fact, it is inevitable to be angry. Consequently, the most important thing that we can do is relief. Fortunately, there are also a lot of ways to relief. For me, I like to listen to music aloud, and enjoy the music. It makes me feel better. Shouting likes “How wonderful a day! How beautiful a sky!” is another way my friends usually do. No matter what means you choose, just try not to anger.
To summarize, what you need when you facing a problem isn’t anger but calmness. People who often anger won’t succeed in any area. Thus, we should remember that anger is certainly no used to solve problems. It just can cause an enormous disaster.

The most frightening thing in my life（Free writting 7)
I have been afraid of dolls since I was a child. It caused by a story that one of my friends told me. He told me that if I don’t respect my doll, “she” would eat my digit or tug my hair. It is also said that the doll’s hair and nail could grow because they have souls. I don’t want to be close to any dolls anymore after I heard that.
My sister and brother found that I stopped playing my doll, even touching them. The felt strange and wondered what happened. Finally, they realized that I had a great fear of dolls. Afterward, they always wanted to scare me by putting a doll in my bed as I fell asleep. As soon as I woke up and saw them, I usually cried. I thought that I abominate dolls keenly.
One day, I told my mother what they did to me, and mentioned that I didn’t dare to sleep alone. After hearing that, my mother punished them and asked them not to frighten me anymore. That night, I went to bed cozily, and prepared having a sweet sleep. In the midnight, I woke up because there was something wrong and began to feel strange. But I still didn’t open my eyes until I suddenly became conscious that someone was touching my foot. I saw a little girl in front of my bed seizing my foot. I had no idea what she wanted to do. Simultaneously, there was something pulling my hair. I turned my head to watch what that is. Then I almost fainted.
I saw a face of a doll! Yes, face to face! Her countenance was so indifference. Undoubtedly, I shouted. But my mouth was covered by the hand of the doll. So there was no one could hear me. I couldn’t do anything but struggled. But their strength was so big that I could hardly move. I didn’t know how long it passed. Finally, I heard a voice, “Dear, you should wake up now! It's time to go to school.” I opened my eyes and saw my mother. “Thanks god that it was just a dream!” I thought.

My favorite holiday.(Free writing 6)
My favorite holiday is Chinese New Year which is the longest festival in Taiwan. I like it because which is the most meaningful holiday for me. We celebrate it by gathering whole family members together and having a dinner in New Year’s Eve. We will retrospect what fun or bad things happened in the past year and make some wishes for the coming year. Then, in the next few days I usually hang on with my relatives. We will gamble, travel, or play TV games. On the other hand, traditionally, people usually pray in temple at the daytime and set firework at night in my hometown.
Do I like to take English courses?(Free writing 5)
Today one of our English teacher asked us wheather we like to take English coureses. Sure I’d like to take English courses aboard. Actually I think everyone should go aboard because it can expand our global view and we can learn the different aspects for same thing from other country. I mean, you can learn the different thinking ways. It is very important especially for the business students like us. By the way, it’s interesting to make friends form different word and contact with variety of cultures.
Playing Sports and Watching Sports On TV (Free writing 4)
Although both playing sports and watching sports on TV are exciting and fascinating, they are different from each other. I learned about it from devoting myself to sports.
First of all, playing sports is healthier than watching sports on TV. Playing sports will make you feel more relaxed and funner. It also can increase your physical strength and decreased stress. It also said that people who often exercise look like more beautiful or always keep in fine fettle. In the other words, it is quite tranquility to watch sports on TV. The only one thing you will do is to move your finger to press the button, and then watch it on the chair or on the bed. No matter how long you see it, you won’t feel weary.
In fact, most of student prefer playing sports, but an office worker would rather watch sports on TV because they don’t want to spend time looking for where they can exercise. For modern city, finding a court or a field might be difficult. Some times you even must pay a huge bill to sport such as golf and billiards. And a golf course can hardly be found. If it rains, you can only stay at home. Contrary to play sports, you don’t have to worry about if the weather is good in the inside door. You just have to pay the bill of cable TV. It is much cheaper than playing sports.
No matter who you are, you can take in playing sports as you wish, but only professional match can on TV. People usually play sports not for learn skill but for fun. Likewise, it can easily befriend a lot of people. However, the propose of watching sports on TV is definitely different. In order to gain skills and experience, people are going to choice to watch it on TV. It will broaden your horizon moreover. Others watch sports on TV in quest of discussing with their friends instead of playing with friends.
In my opinion, for good or evil, playing sports is as attractive as watching sports on TV. I play basketball in school, and watch a ball game at home. They occupy most of me leisure time. Anyway, what you are engaged in, both of them make me reap a little benefit.

The Effects of an Invention or Innovation in Modern Life
People in modern life have a higher living level than people in the past. I attribute it to invention and innovation. The country with more invention has better economy and the industry with more innovation will be more thriving. We are encouraged to innovate because it has so many merits. There are many examples, yet I’d like to mention the extensive effects. I think the most influential advantages are efficient, cost saving, and more recreation, and they resulted in prosperity of a country.
First, invention creates efficient. In terms of transportation, we don’t have to waste a lot of time to travel from one place to other place. It is more convenient to take plane, train, bus and now the MRT. People can build bridges which they couldn’t do before because more high technical methods had been invented. Which means workers now are more productive than past because they have more time to work. In terms of information, we had saved a grate of searching cost and time. The invention of internet flattens the block of the world. We can get and information easily, fast, and efficiently via internet. Therefore, invention does improve our efficiency.
Second, the invention and innovation also bring us cost saving, the so called economy of scale. The invention of machines and the innovation of technological procedures replaced the conventional artificial work. We now produced more goods in a relative sort time and low cost. For example, in the past, 10 hectare’s crops may need 50 farmers to cultivate, yet with plowing machines, it may need only 5 farmers with the same size of crops. The rest of 45 people can engage in other work. The other example is car industry. It was a labor intensive industry about 30 years ago and seldom people could afford it. However, thanks to Henry Ford, he innovated the new assemble line to produce cars and the lower the price; hence we can drive our RV to everywhere now. As a result, invention and innovation raised every one’s welfare.
Finally, the invention and innovation of nowadays combined function and recreation. The merchandize have animated the world. For instance, the Sony had created the PS2 or PSP on which you can not only play high quality games, but also see the DVD and surf on the internet. In fact, you can play the online games on it, too. The other famous example is Apple’s iPod. It had revolutionized the way of listening music. Just sigh in the iTune through the internet and get as many songs as you want. Moreover, LCD is everywhere such as on the wall of building, on the bus, in the elevator and even in the toilet. Consequently, these inventions let people feel less bored while they are walking or waiting.
In summary, the application of invention and innovation is around us everyday and everywhere. It effects our life in all aspects. With innovation, people will have vitality and momentum so that developed and advanced the economy. Without it , the economy will be easy to get bogged down into depression. Thus, no wonder most of the governments and entrepreneurs encouraged and sponsor activities of invention and innovation.
