"Practice of Space-order Paragraph"

It is a traditional Dutch living room in this picture. At the left side of this picture is a wooden cupboard, upon the door of which is a work of Millar. Looking through the door, beautiful plates are put at the top of the shelves set on both side of the walls, and a tea service is placed at the other two sets. Beside the cupboard is a writing table. If lighting the lamp up, it would be a wonderful place for reading.

The back door is next to the writing table, and there is also a big window which is decorated by potted plants. Between the back door and the window is a clock hangs in the wall, and a small side table is beneath it. In the right side of the room is a fumy stove which can be heated by coal. However, I think it is quite dangerous to burn the coal in the house especially in winter when the fresh air is not sufficient enough. Beside the stove is a cozy rocking-chair. I can imagine how comfortable will be when sewing on that chair!

In the middle of the room is a table with red cloth, and it seems that this family usually have their tea here. Under the table, there is a straw map extending on the wooden floor, and above the table is an old-fashioned kerosene lamp, which looks warm.

I have read some travel journals, and found that people in Europe lead a slow-paced life. They usually have brunch in stead of breakfast and dine out late at night. Between two meals, they would have some afternoon tea, which they enjoy very much. From this picture, it is evident that they pay much emphasis on tea time. Imagine that chatting in this living room with an elegant tea set and good tea. What a lazy afternoon! They really enjoy their lives, I believe.

"My Classmate"

One of my classmates is Kevin. He comes from Taichung, which is warm and people there are friendly. He goes home twice a month, because he thinks that takes too much time on the bus. His favorite color is light blue, which he thinks may bring him good fortunes.

Just like other boys, Kevin likes to play basketball. Because all our classmates want to win the champion, the basketball club he joins practice very hard. They play basketball after class and even on weekends. He is looking forward to the coming contest and hoping to beat other teams.

Kevin also likes traveling. One of the reasons he likes to travel is that he can experience the different sights and customs through traveling. He went to Hokkaido with his family this winter. It was very cold and snowy at that time, and they even encountered a storm which trapped them on the road. Although it is quite dangerous, he likes the beautiful scenery and the snow which cannot be easily seen in Taiwan. He thought that Hokkaido is a spot worth traveling again.

Kevin has a girl friend, Ivory. He often holds her hands and they walk on the campus at leisure. Next time if you see a boy wears glasses and goes hand in hand with a pretty girl, just say hello to Kevin and Ivory!

"How to Go to See a Doctor in Taiwan?" the first edition

Outline
1. go to see a doctor in an effective way
2. five tips for going to a doctor
3. prepare before going to a doctor, and have an advantage of it

Composition
Going to a doctor in Taiwan is more convenient than other countries, for the density of hospitals and clinics here are large. Although there are many medical places for medical treatment and is quite easy to find a doctor, it is necessary to get prepared if an efficient treatment is needed.

Here are five tips to follow. First, make an appointment before going to see a doctor, and double check with the secretary before the day you visit. Next, find out your national health insurance card and hand it to the nurse when you register. Then wait for your turn. If you feel really uncomfortable, ask for some helps, and maybe you can cut in line. Third, tell the doctor clearly the worst symptom that haunted you most. For example, do not merely complain about the dreadful headache but point out “where”, “when” and “how” your head aches. This helps the doctor to clarify the disease so to make a suitable prescription. Another important thing to be mentioned is that before you leave the hospital, check the drugs carefully. Make sure that those are your medicament. Finally, take the medicine by the instruction of doctor. You can see the improvement of your health.

Because in Taiwan, the time of doctor for one patient is limited, express clearly how you feel in a direct way is essential. Therefore, both doctors and patients do good to each other. Why not prepare before you go to a doctor next time? It may not only cure your disease but also the dislike of treatments.


~this is the edition that never printed out~

"The Present"

I have just read a book. It tells a little story about how to work efficiently and happily. The first step is to cherish the time “now”, and very concentrate on everything you do once a time. Next, learn from the past. Take advantage to the past and think about it carefully. Don’t sink into it, but try to use the experiences and grow from the ones. Finally, you can create an imaginable future; make planes to fulfill your dream.

a special Saturday!

Today I have two free meals to eat in Taipei! But that means I will become fat immediately at night.

I want to thanks Miss Lai, because she gives us the chance to have an abundant and also delicious breakfast in Grand Hyatt Hotel, a high-class hotel which I have never gone into.

At night, I saw many of my seniors at the restaurant, some of whom and my teacher I saw only once a semester! We chatted and laughed happily, although I was really tired-out.

It was another busy day, but I enjoyed this kind of business. ^^

"The French in London" from BBC

This is a program made for students learning English, and it is really easy!!! I thought it would be very difficult in understanding without a script of the conversation, but it was not so hard as I thought, in fact, it is an usual chat. I can totally understand it. My English is not so bad at all!

Go click and listen to this program, and you will find that English is actually a piece of cake!

Coming of "Die Schopfung"~

Next Wednesday will be significant to me. About two months ago, I decided to participate in a performance in Taipei Medical School, and the day finally comes! I am wondering how it will be when the chorus, the wind band and the soloists present this show, without much practice. Everyone there are good, the singing skill, of course, is the part I care most. I met many friends there, and we are all enjoy in the music, especially in chorus^^.

I am looking forward to the day! Hoping that I can do my best!!!
