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!
