I had a big meal with my upper classmen and my lower classman today. Because it was for celebrating the graduation of one of my upper classmen, Un-Chi, I chose an expensive and fancy restaurant to have dinner together. Furthermore, before the appointment, Emile, she is a senior, and I went to a department store to buy an eye shadow and some chocolate as a present for Un-Chi. Originally, we spent much time on the present because we didn't know what we should buy. Finally, we decided to buy some cosmetics and her favorite dessert for her. Fortunately, she liked the present very much.

The restaurant is famous for its fancy decoration and its French meal. The meal was really delicious and boubtiful and I really like it. Moreover, during the time of having meals, we talked a lot. We talked about our dreams, our life and so on. My lower classman said that she will attend the entrance test of other schools because she wants to transfer to better universities. After I heared that, I was surprised and sad because it meant that I would not meet her frequently. However, I also hope that she will pass the entrance test and then she can enter the school she

Because of the meeting, the relationship between us is closer and I think that I know them more. I really enjoy it.

Composition Revision- An Interesting Sport

I am interested in sports and I have entered many competitions. However, after getting
involved in various sports, I discover that playing volleyball is a fun and suitable activity for most people. Above all, there are many advantages of playing volleyball, such as keeping fit, relieving tension and making more friends.
According to some surveys, many people play volleyball to stay healthy. When they play volleyball, they have to focus on the ball all the time and they cannot let the ball fall onto the ground. Therefore, they must move their steps frequently to catch the ball and make correct judgments whether the ball is in or out.As a result, after joining a volleyball game, they always sweat heavily and it is healthy for them because sweating is good for metabolism. Moreover, their reactions become quicker due to playing volleyball regularly. For instance, Cathy was my classmate and she often got sick. Once I asked her to play volleyball with me and then she agreed. Afterwards, she played volleyball constantly and that made her react more quickly than before. Now, she is healthier and she relies on playing volleyball to keep healthy.
Most people relieve tension by listening to music, running or going shopping, but I am different from them. If I am under pressure, I play volleyball with my friends to alleviate it. When playing volleyball, I concentrate on the ball and those tiresome things go away from me. It keeps me calm. Furthermore, while playing volleyball, my whole body gets stretched and I feel relaxed and comfortable. For example, my sister applied for a job and she would have an interview the next day.She was nervous and worried because she was afraid that she could not do it well.At that time, I suggested she play volleyball to calm her down. So she did it. The next day, she told me that it was useful. After that, whenever she wants to relieve her tension, the only place she will go to is the volleyball court.
The third advantage of playing volleyball is that I can make more friends. Because volleyball is not an individual sport, it is a team sport. What is more, when entering a competition, my partners and I have to cooperate to defeat the competitors. Therefore, the relationship between us will be closer and better. To illustrate, when Joy was a freshman, she liked to play volleyball. Originally, she was often alone because she did not know anyone in the volleyball court. After a few days, she decided to ask some girls whether she could join them. Unhesitatingly, they agreed gladly. By and by she knew many people and made good friends who shared the same interests . More importantly, because of so many friends, she learned more and they broadened her horizons.
Playing volleyball has many advantages and many people depend on it to keep healthy, to relieve tension and to make more friends. Nevertheless, if people want to experience these advantages, they should play volleyball regularly instead of just playing it in a short term. In addition, if they do it seriously, maybe they will find more merits of playing volleyball. In particular, volleyball is not only a sport but also a interesting group activity people can learn much from.

I went to a rock concert of Mayday with my friends the day before yesterday. The concert was hold on Saturday night in the soccer field of Taipei, and therefore we went to Taipei by bus on Friday. After we arrived in our destination, it was 1:30am and there were already many fans lining along the soccer field. Fortunately, the classmate of my friend lined up for us previously so afterwards we could enter the field soon . However, the time of waiting for the start of the concert was long and tortured because it was cold and humid so we couldn't sleep well.

About seven o'clock, the concert started and we were exciting because we had waited that moment a long time. When Maday appeared on the stage, we screamed and we didn't stop waving the light stick until A-Shi started singing. As singing a song named "人生海海", I was exciting and high. The lyrics totally express my thought and feeling and I like it. Furthermore, when A-Shi sang a song named"知足", I was sentimental and I started crying. That song reminded me of my friends of the senior high and I missed them so much. I was really touched by the beautiful song. At the end of the concert, Mayday said that they would sing even though they would be seventy years old. I thought that even if I was seventy years old, I would still go to the concert of Mayday because I really like them and their songs. Their songs always express what teenagers think and feel and I am always touched.

I really enjoyed it. Ithink that if there are other chances to go the concert of Mayday, I will go. The time of waiting in ling is tortured nevertheless, but it's worthy!

On Friday night, because our upper classman named A-Bu who already graduated from NCHU came back to Taichung from Japan, we had a appintment with her in the KTV. When we got off the KTV, A-Bu and other upper classmen already in the balcony waited for us. Originally, I thought that I didn't sing well so I didn't like to go to KTV frequently. However, this time was different. While I sang a song named Sunshine Boy, one of them said that I sang well. When listenging to that , I was and glad and I was more confident. Fur0thermore, we also sang some old songs and that made the atmosphere exciting. I really glad that we could be together with A-Bu and I enjoyed it. A-Bu is really a lovely girl.

Afterwards, because my friend and I thought that it was early and we didn't want to go home immediately, we went to the night market to buy some snacks. Then we went up the overpass and we enjoyed those delicious snacks there. After a while, as we decided to leave the passover, we met our lower classmen. At that time, we didn't know that they were lovers so we were surprised. Finally, we waved farewell soon to them because we didn't want to embarrass them. They looked so glad and we thought that they were cute lovers.

I had wanted to see a movie named " Widns of September" when I knew it at the first time. Therefore, as knowing that the movie would show in school on Tuesday, I went to the movies with my friends. General speaking, the movie is attractive and good as I thought before.

The movie is about the story of nine senior high school students, seven boys and two girls. The seven boys are the bad guys in the view of most people and they are always together. They go to the baseball game together; they skip classes together; they are blamed by teachers together; and they play together. There is a fragment of the movie impressing me a lot. The seven guys crept into a pool at night and then they swim without any clothes. For most people, that is illegal, prohibited and crazy. Certainly, these boys know that but they still do it. I think that maybe they just want to enjoy their youth without any constraint and what they do directly expresses what they think and want. Furthermore, I am touched by a song of the movie. It's called "Blue Butterfly" and it's asong about farewell. When I listened to the song, it reminded of my senior high school classmates and the scene of graduation from senior high. I cried silently.I didn't know why I cried. Maybe I missed them so much or I was sad for the end of my youth. I didn't know exactly what the reason was. However, what I know clearly is that I spent the youth again in the movie. It gave me a chance to experience different kinds of youth. I really enjoy the movie.

Last Friday, my friends and I went to Shing-Shei by motorcycle after the exam of The Western Literature. Shing-Shei is famous for many beautiful flowers and that's why we choose the place as our destination. After many tiresome exams, what we wanted to do was compeletely release the tention and play with the friends so Shing-Shei was the best place to go for us. We set out at 1:30pm and somethigng dangerous happened to us. Shing-Shei is located in the mountain area so there are many roads like wiggling snakes. When I made a right turn, the road is so curved that my motorcycle almost lost the balance. Luckily we didn't slip on the road. Furthermore, because a big rat suddenly rushed to the road, my friend almost bumped into it. Fortunately, my friend dodged and no one was hurt. They were special and scary experience for us.

After almost one hour, we got to the destination. The first thing we did was to search a place to eat something because we ate nothing in the lunch time. Finally, we had solid meals in an restaurant being famous for fresh mushrooms and we really enjoyed it. Afterward, we parked the motorcycles and walked around to appreaciate these delicate and beautiful flowers. The flowers sparkled in the sunlight and they are really attractive so I took many pictures. What is more, we also took some pictures we were jumping. It's interesting for us cauz we had to grape good timing to take it. Therefore, we tried many times and I really appreacited my friends to take such excellent photos for me.

The journey to Shin-Shei was fun and I really enjoyed it. I hope that I will come there again with my friends next year. I really like it!

I went shopping with Jennifer yesterday. When we bought some snacks, suddenly, we heard someone was singing. The singing is attractive to us so we looked around where the singing came from. Immediately, we saw one boy singing and the other boy playing guiyar. Therefore, both of us sat on the chair near them to appreciate the performance for a long tome. Finally, when the performance ended, they told us that thay would have a concert three rock bands perform together and they asked us if we wanted to go to the concert. At that time, we were attracted by their beautiful singing so we agreeed soon.

I go to the rock concercert with Jennifer, Kevin and Little Flower today. When we arrieve the destination, which is a pub named LOBBY, there are already many peoplr waithing for the performance outside. After 10 minutes,we enter the pub and they are playing loud music inside. Soon, the three rock bands perform orderly and the atmosphere is high and happy.

Afetr appreciating the rock concert, what I want to do first is playing guitar well. I love to listen to some rock music so I have wanted to learn playing guitar. Fortunately, Little flower saied that he was willing to teach me a few days ago. Therefore, now I have a teach to help me play guitar well and I'm really appreciate hime. I believe that as long as I practice playing guitar more, I can also play guitar well like those guitar players who perfom on the stage! Break my leg!

I love to read novels when I have free time. As I am absorbed in a novel, I am always addicted to it and I cannot put it dowm. When reading an interesting or a touching story, I often pretend that I am the character in the novel and make myself into the imaginary world. It is fun to me because if I were the character of the tale, then I can stand in the character's side to view things and it is always amusing and inspiring. Furthermore, by being the character and entering the fictional world, I can experience many exciting adventures , experience the exotic life and d0 something impossible in the reality. Most importantly, when becomong the role, I can be anyone. I can be a writer, a lawyer, a model, an actress or even an astronaut. It is possible and can be true in the imaginary world.

Particularly,pretending myself to be the character of "Harry Potter" is the most interesting to me. I want to enter Hogwarts to be the student and I also watn to have a broomstick and then I can fly in the sky. Moreover,What I most desired is a wand and then I can use it to do many things it cannot come true in the reality. I really want to jump into the fascinating and magic world.

Recently, I have read a novel named "To Kill A Mockingbird" and it is an excellent novel. It mainly talks about the issue of the discrimination t0 Negro. However, it is not a dull tale, instead, the story is attractive and inspiring. To my disappointment, I do not read it all till now. And the reason is thatI played volleyball almost every day and I did not have spare time to read it. However, I know that what I say is just an excuse.... I really want to read it all cause it is really a fascinating novel! Now I do my best for it! God bless me!!!

"Bring It On"

There is a contest of cheer squads today. Therefore, when time was up, I rode thr bicycle to scholl to see the competition. When I get here, the other cheer squad was performing and many people stood around the field of contests to see the game. After 15 minutes, it was time for the performing of our department. As soon as they appeared, a cheer arose from the crowd. Thay wore the cute uniforms of the senior high school girls and even the boys also wore the uniforms. That is why eveyone was surprising and cheers arose from the crowd. Furthermore, as they performed many difficult skills, the audience applauded and cheered them. Finally, they end the performing with a lovely posture and a passionate slogan.

After the performances of all competitive teams, it was time to announce the result of the competition and everyone was nervous. These judges announced the prize in order and all of us wanted to hear the name of our department. Fortunately, our department got the prize and we will have finals tomorrow. I am glad for them and I believe that they will get great grades tomorrow.

After seeing the performance of our department, I am a little regretful for not attending the competition of the cheer team when I was a freshman. If I had attended it, it would be the sweet memory in my life and the relationship between my classmates and me would be better. However, I know that it is not useful to say that now. Therefore, what I should do now is often attend the activities of our department andI will do my best to achieve it!^^

What is more, there is a movie named "Bring It On''. The movie is about cheer teams and it's a good movie!If you are interested in it , you can surf the internet to search more information about "Bring It On".

Recently, I have find that I do not have enough time to do something I should do or like to do , such as studying, reading some interesting novels, seeing movies in the library, and so on. The reason is that I have spent much time to play volleyball and my friends also told me that it takes my too much time. However, although playing volleyball really takes my much tome, I still do not want to give it up. That is why I often do not come home until 10pm. Furthermore, I am really enjoy the feeling I stand in the court and play volleyball with the partners even if sometimes I feel exhausted. I know that I have to practice more if I want to be powerful. Therefore, I do not regret that I spend much time playing volleyball. In particulat, on account of volleyball, I make many friends, learn much adn experience something new. If I did not play volleyball, I thought that I would miss the chance to experience many interesting things and to know many friendly persons. It really broadens my horizons. For example, the captain of the volleyball team took all members to go bowling, to play billards and to go to the pub named "Lobby' last semester and they are fresh and fun for me. I think that I am fortunate because I make such good friends and I have the opportunity to experience special life.

In addition, in spite of the fact that I love to play volleyball and I have spent much time on it, I still want to have enough time to study. Consequently, what I should do now is manage time well and then I think I will catch up the progress of the texts. More importantly, I have to keep the balance between playing volleyball and my studies and use time well. I'll do my best to do it!

I saw a touching movie named "Island Etude" in last semester. Until now, I still can rememer some lines and some things in that movie, especially '' If you do not do something right now, you will not do it in your life." When I heard the words in the movie, I was agitated at that moment. Because I often said something like " I will do it someday.", however, I usually did not keep my promise. I always thought that I would have much time to do it and that was not a big deal to be lazy . On account of the indolent thought, I missed many chances to make friends, to learn something more and to broaden my horizons. If I do not change myself, everything does not change. I will be regreted like before. Yet If I can be more active and aggressive, it is more possible for me to fullfill something I thought I did not have the power to do. Because of "Island Etude", I get the motivation to change myself and want to do something different.

The movie is about a boy who has the impaired hearing travels around Taiwan by bike for 7 days. Except taking some necessary equipments for travel, he also took a guitar with him. As he was lonely, he played the guitar and the melody comforted his mind. During the 7 days, he saw the fantastic scenes of Taiwan, met many kind people and experienced many things. Afetr watching the movie, I was touched by the boy and he aroused my desire to travel around Taiwan by bicycle. I also want to experience some different life, to know more about my country and to prove something(?) . When I become an old woman, I want to possess the memory I love to recall. When I recall it, I must be proud of it and smile certainly. Although now I do not sure whether I have the energy or time to do it, however, there is one thing I am sure. If I do not make the dream come true during the four years, I will not have the passion to do it and it will be the pity in my life. I plan to travel around Taiwan with my friends on the winter vacation. At that time, I will leave my tracks around Taiwan!!!

If you want to know more about "Island Etude", there is a good weblog for you to surf.

The Traps of The Television Commercials
When we enjoy cartoons or interesting television shows, they are often interrupted by many commercials . Commercials can be classified into many kinds. There are commercials about food, water, athletic facilities, medicine and so on. Furthermore, we can find that many commercials are exergerative and they are not true. They often try many ways to attract the attention of the consumers and ask customers to buy their products. For instance, I watch a commercial about medicine of keeping shapes.
