Future!?
As an island, Taiwan, my hometown owns limited natural resource. In order to keep living, exchanging goods with other countries is an indispensable and important part for Taiwan. My father with his experience in the business company encouraged me to read some books and magazines related to business. He told me that business has great power. It had the strength to influence the worldwide economy. Because of my father’s remark, my interest in business blossomed during my high school year. I started to take business courses when I was in high school and I found out business was really interesting despite the tough report I had to do in the high school. Therefore, I might want to engage in jobs related to business. I would like to first reinforce my basic knowledge in business and learn different subjects in undergraduate. If there were chances, I would like to have a summer internship to experience the practical operation.

I love sports!!
I love sports. Participating in the school sports team is always my dream. However, the campus of my last school was very small. With the construction of the new gymnasium and teaching building, the campus became even smaller. The basketball team and volleyball team were forced to be dismissed. Therefore, I did not have any chance to join the sports team.
My brother joined the badminton team of his department. He always shared his experience with me. He told me that sentiments between members were harmonious and feelings of joining contest were really exciting. Last year, he went to another university to have a badminton contest. Their team won the championship there. Moreover, he met some people who have the same interest with him there. One of the rivals and my brother made a promise to become stronger and had another competition with each other. Competition is not a war or fight between school and school. Instead, it is a bridge of communication and friendship. I am envious of my brother. I do not have this kind of experience. Therefore, it strengthens my willingness to join the sports team.
School life is sometimes high pressured. Enormous reports and tests make me feel stifled. Exercise is the best method to release my pressure and refill my energy. You can do nothing without a healthy body and spirit.

Reunion and experience sharing
Last week, I went back to Kaohsiung to celebrate my friend’s birthday. I met her at a friend’s party. She as well as I is a student of fifth-year college student. After coming back from the United States, I decided to attend the transfer test. She got the same goal with me. Therefore, we sometimes studied and hanged out together. Thanks to her encouragement, I was admitted. Next year, it is her turn to take the transfer exam. Therefore, not only did I go back to celebrate her birthday but tell her some of the experience of handling the test.
We talked a lot about what we had been lately. Though still a fifth-year college student, she owns the ambition of university student. College, unlike university, has little source, she claimed. Her school has little audio-video facility allowing her to practice the English ability test and to watch the western movie, which may allow her to have more contact with foreign languages. Moreover, since her school is management-originated school. The development of department of foreign language is not so prosperous. That’s another reason urges her to attend university. According to my experience, test takers are often very nervous. “Though studying is important, exercise and relax are also important,” I told her. Non-stop studying won’t help. Without rest, it is also harmful to the health condition. Also, she being a test take of department of foreign language, I recommend her to read some English short stories if having leisure time. Reading will improve the writing ability and vocabulary.
All of above is what I told her. Of course, I gave her a best wish. I wish her to be admitted to the university next year and enjoy her happy university life.

Program review
Unlike the grand building and stylish adornment in the western, the building in my hometown and most eastern countries are comparatively simple and highly functional. In my hometown, land resource is very limited because of the size of our territory. Living spaces of every family are usually very small. Therefore, functional designs of houses are very important.
The most awesome interior design I had ever seen was the one I saw on the TV program. The setting is taken in the urban area of Japan where living spaces are also very limited. The house had already been reformed for several times and the arrangement of the rooms is weird. Toilet was the entrance of the house. Abundant furniture and commodity piled up at the passageway. Sunlight can hardly come in the house with all these stuff. The family had to open the light even in the morning. Furthermore, the family of four members all slept in one room crowded with furniture. Living under such condition was really unbearable, so they invited an architect to reform their house. The architect was a specialist in interior design. He first tore down the house and redesigned the arrangement. Part of the roof was replaced by the transport board in order to bring in sunlight. Moreover, the architect set up some special storage under the floor. The spaces under the floor, step, and bed were all used to store the commodity and not often used item. Therefore, living space became wider and more comfortable and every member had their own room. Kitchen was the place where had the biggest change. The space was crowded by a lot of cooking appliance and condiment and it can hardly accommodate dining table. The architect set up a big storage for the appliance and multipurpose foldable table which can be stored in the wall when not used. The mother of the family became more interested in cooking because of this convenience.
The appearance changed a lot, too. It used to be rustic metal and eroded wood. Bright color wood and antirust metal was adopted to keep the exterior simple and easy to clean. Home is the space where can provide relaxation and comfort to mind and spirit. Comfortable and clean environment can lessen the nerve and refill the energy. This TV program had already successful helped a lot of family reform their house.

Not only good friends but also good teachers
Interactions between classmates are very important not only in the aspect of mind, but also in the aspect of behavior. The junior high school I went was very normal. Students all came from the same cultural and religious background. I barely met students with unique experiences and backgrounds.
Until I entered Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages, my last school, I started to feel how limited my world was. Students here came from all over the world. They had different cultural background, prospective, and goal. My classmates taught me useful concepts, introduced me the delicious delicacy of their country, and helped me solve the problem I encountered. One of my best friends was from Myanmar. She came to Taiwan to study without her family’s financial support, so she had to work hard in order to pay the tuition fee. My family’s financial condition was not bad, so I always bought what I needed and what I wanted without careful consideration. With the relationship to her, I started to realize that I wasted a lot of money. I bought too many things that I didn’t really need and items that I had already had. “Live for today, but plan for tomorrow.” is my friend’s life principle. Impulsive shopping and decision would indeed have some negative effects to your life. Therefore, I started to work and save the money in the bank. Now, I don’t have to worry about the problem of money and I can use the money to buy present for my parents in order to appreciate their care and kindness.
Another classmate told me a lifelong principle. Once I was baffled by a disappointment and I couldn’t get rid of that mood. Therefore, I was very down for couple of days. My classmate discovered my sad mood and told me that disappointments come and go, but life still moves on. It was no use to feel sad about the status quo. Solving the problem and getting rid of the choke point are more important. She encouraged me and helped me got through the difficulty. Her remarks had great influences on me. I used to escape from problems and controversial issues. Because my classmate’s words, I started to face the problem and tried to solve it. Solving problems are fun and the joy and satisfaction after dealing the problem were incredible. These two friends have great impacts on my life. They not only help me to deal with my coursework, but also teach me the principle of life.

Not only study
Human have to renew themselves in order to keep growing. Life is dull with progress. Despite studying, joining activities and voluntary works would be another way to renew your life.
Joining extracurricular activity is always an integral part of my school life. Penmanship contest was the first activity I joined. Although I did not win the prize, I found that the experience I earned was more precious than the prize. With the number of activity I joined increased, I became more confident about myself. Therefore, I would like to join interesting activities and clubs to during my university life. Student organization would be my first choice. The student organization I use to join in my last school was responsible for announcing information the school released to students and holding activities. Holding a satisfactory activity is difficult. It would be more exciting and challenging to hold activities in such a big campus.
College life should not merely fill with study. Study is the catalyst for the growth of mind. Activities and entertainments are the nourishment of spirit. Once combined the two above, the college life would become truly splendid. I think, after midterm exam, I can join more activities and not just cram on the coursework.

Program review
Yesterday, I saw a program in Discovery Channel about the prospering industry in India. To me, I also have some interest in business. However, I can’t see the bright future of Taiwan as India’s.
Business is an indispensable part to Taiwan. As a small island, Taiwan owns limited natural resource. In order to keep living, exchanging goods with other countries is very important. My interest in business blossomed in my junior high school year. It was the time when my father worked in an international trading company. My father with his experience in the business company encouraged me to read some books and magazines related to business. He told me that business has great power. It had the strength to influence the worldwide economy. Because of my father’s remark, I started to take business courses when I was in high school and I found out business was really interesting despite the tough report. Therefore, I decided to engage in jobs related to business.
I discover that Taiwan is a place where a lot of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) locate. The workers in Taiwan have excellent techniques and some worldwide famous companies such as IBM and Panasonic used to set OEM factories here. However, because of the fast economy growth and low worker salary in People's Republic of China, a lot of companies decide to move their factories to China due to the considerations of capital and profit. Demand for workers decreases gradually. As the result, some people have to go to China or even move to there in order to maintain their jobs. However, since Taiwan's workers own such good techniques, why not create our own brand and manufacture goods by ourselves.

Reunion
Last week, I went back to Kaohsiung, for the weather was getting colder and I had to pack some clothes. Surprisingly, my family got a reunion far away in Taitung
My uncle had a serious illness last year, but, with the operation done, he was getting better and better now. Since having to go back and forth to the hospital for subsequent consultation every week, he didn’t have much leisure time. About a couple of months ago, doctor announced that he could go to the hospital once a month now. For that reason, he could do his favorite thing like fishing and sightseeing in the east part of Taiwan. Last Saturday, he invited my father and mother to go to the Chung Kung Port of Taitung. On that day, they took the road early in the morning and we set out at about nine. Though the road is winding, the beauty and marvelous scene are really worth seeing. We arrived at about noon and amazed to find that my aunt and my oldest cousin were there. My aunt lives in Pingtung. She rarely go to another county for her husband being a busy teacher. He never had the time to take her out. Therefore, she was really excited and bought a lot of fish she liked there. More than that, I had not seen my oldest cousin since the last reunion we had in Chinese New Year. He works in Hsinchu Science Park. I have heard that people working there had a lot of pressure. However, it seems he doesn’t have that kind of problem. For the moment I saw him last Saturday, I thought he must have grown another ten kilograms. However, the most important thing is that he likes his job and enjoys it a lot. After that, we had a great feast and talked about what we have been lately.
This year is the first year that I go to another city for education. Meeting every family member seems so normal to me before. However, when I have been here in Taichung for about a month, I really know what the homesickness others talk about. I’ll treasure my family more and cherish the time being with the

Surprise!!
I feel really excited today. A friend that I haven’t met for about a year sends me a message. What makes me surprised is that she knows that I am admitted to NCHU and how I have been lately. Though happy about her message, I feel sorry that it seems I ignore her a little bit.
Just about two years ago, I met her at the cram school. We were very match since we all have the dream of studying business aboard. However, because of some reasons, she couldn’t help quitting her dream. After that, I went to the U.S. for my further study. For couple of months, I still got her e-mails. With my homework grew heavier, I rarely had time to write her a letter. Gradually, I lost all the news about her. Although not getting mails from me for almost a year, she still cares me very much. Now I recognize how important it is to treasure the friends you have especially those intimate ones.
I write her a letter to apologize for my ignorance of her. I get her reply just now. Considerate as usual, she says that it is okay because I am busy handling the examination. She tells me that she doesn’t give up her dream. Now working as a part-time teaching assistant, she saves the money for the tuition. I deeply respect her determination. Though hard the road of her study is, she still tries her best to achieve it. Since she has some free time at weekend, I send her the mail and ask her to visit me. We haven’t me for such a long time, so there must be a lot of things to chat for. Looking forward to our reunion!!

Anti-war
Peace is what people worldwide seek since long time ago. However, due to some complicated reason such as the problem of race, religion, and country’s interests, people quarrel and fight all the time. For me, it is quite sad to witness author’s change in the article. Forced by the circumstance at that time, he can’t help training himself to be a cruel killer in order to protect his country. Moreover, killing a chicken to eat is totally different from that of killing people. The butcher can kill fowl and cattle without hesitation because it is his job. He has to do this, though cruel, to keep the daily living. When it comes to the situation of killing people, I think everyone would tremble and fear. It is a human being, the very figure born by mother and tenderly brought up by the parents. Also, we say that everyone is born equal. No one has the right to slay others. At the first part of the story, I appreciate the author’s pity to the dying squirrel. Without emotion, people live just like a walking corpse. As for the author, I think, he can act as a spokesman and adjuster of war between countries. Only fighting and killing can’t solve the problem. There must be someone to conciliate between two sides. Moreover, United Nation and some worldwide organizations are meeting regularly to deal with the issue around the world. The purpose of that is not just try to please their alliance, but to ensure the peace between countries. I myself am an anti-war peace lover. War not only makes people suffer, but also cost extraordinary money to buy the arms. Wish the world peace forever.

The philosophy of life
When it comes to the topic of the philosophy of life, “cherish and be gratified” would be my answer. Life is too short to waste. We must cherish the friends, families, things, and whatever important we have.
I always hear people say that the friends you have in your school life are the truly sincere ones throughout your life. Moreover, attending college is not only a learning for new knowledge but also for relationship between people and people. Although not a person with great popularity, I have two friends who truly know me. The number doesn’t matter that much. The most important thing is that I feel happy and life is meaningful when being with them. Another important part of my life is my family. Thanks god for giving me such a good family. My parents make me a considerate girl and my brother teach me to be independent. Most important of all, I am grateful to my grandmother for her encouragement when upset. However, hearing her warm and tender voice again is impossible. Losing her has a great impact on me. As we get mature, my parents are getting older and older. They are not as health as before. It is time for us to take care of them. I cherish the time being with them and be much more gratified.
It is never too late to mend. Don’t just regret when you lose something. No matter what your life philosophy is, just seize the moment and do what is in your mind without regret.
