Today is October 31st, Halloween, a very big day in America. Although it is one of the most popular American festivals, it also becomes more and more famous in Taiwan. When it comes to talking about Halloween, there are many language cram school hold the celebration party to not only teach children something special culture from other countries but also have a lot of fun. My company used to hold this kind of make up party except this year because our school is going to move to the other new place this month. Therefore, every employees including the boss are too busy to plan the schedule. It is really pity to hear that, but our manager said that we will goanna have a very big party on Christmas. It sounds quite fun! oh~ by the way. Happy Halloween.

I felt quite frustrated when I checked my blog during the writing class this morning. The feedback that Bill gave me said that what I wrote is boring. Indeed, after I read it again, I found that there is nothing interesting things to arouse readers' interests. I didn't write enough details and information to let readers understand what I was talking about. For example, I shared about my trip on the last weekend in my latest blog, but I just wrote about the feeling hoe I feel but without any description about the places where I visited and also the views which I thought were special to me.
Bill also told us that it is very important to "think" whenever we write. Of course we still have our own writing styles, We don't need to worry about that. However, all I have to do now is to find out my common mistakes or problems like comma spice or verbose then improve them.

I just went back home from Kaohsiung. Since my part-time job have had almost ten-day break, I planned a several days trip long time ago. Finally, my friend and I decided to have our dream come true this Friday. However, because we two were really busy with our school work, none of us could make the schedule for the trip until Thursday night. At first, we were very worried about that, but in the end, we told ourselves that the reason why we want to have this trip is to relax ourselves. As a result, we just rode the scooter with the map in hand, then to the places where we would like to go. I think this was such a special experience for us. I really enjoyed that. Next time, I am going to do the other exciting thing for fun and relax.

This morning, I had a class which teacher would teach us how to control our emotions. Nowadays, it is really a serious issue that most of the people easy to lose their temper. They just can not handle their feelings, even do not know how to express themselves appropriately, either. What's more, even if we are very young now, we would still need to face these kind of problems as well. Therefore, I do enjoy this course and learn a lot from it. For example, teacher may ask us to share our feelings with our group members, and also ask us go back home and communicate with our family. I really like the way which we are doing now. The relation ship between not only my friends but also my family is getting better now.

Today, when I had my linguistic class, there were some people advertising their cram school for undergraduates. Especially for whom want to take part in the entrance test of graduate schools. This made me start getting worried about if I should keep studying after I graduate from the university. Nowadays, I am not very sure is that really important for us to get the master's degree. Moreover, what if we would get the jobs much easier if we really get that certification. I think that it is a quite serious problem we need to face and concern about. Therefore, I think l would better ask for some suggestion from my adviser.

These days, I am just thinking about that how to improve my writing ability in English. As a result, I surf the net and check some information from the newspapers and the magazines. Most of them said that the first thing we need to do is to "read a lot".
By reading, I can not learn only more vocabularies but also the organization. What's more, I can also learn the styles how others writer present their idea. Therefore, I push myself to read as much as possible to make the progress in writing.

Recently, I feel a little bit stressful. Since I am a junior, there are more and more things that I need to cover. For example, like there are some subjects become much more difficult, and I need to spend more time to preview and review them. The other thing is that I have to prepare some reports for my next semester because in the second semester of junior year, we are going to do the monograph. Therefore, all these things make me feel anxious. I think I should find some days to take a walk out of Tainan City, relax myself then restart my works.

I had much fun last weekend. I slept until 11 A.M, then had lunch with my family. After taking an hour nap, I went to my friend's place. He is a foreigner from U.K. He married to a Taiwanese woman and now works as a foreigner teacher at my company. Since he knew that I can play mah-jong, he asked me if I can teach him or not. Therefore, I just brought a set of mah-jong to his place to teach him. We really had fun during the time. After that we chatted a lot and order some pizza for our dinner. In the end, we saw the movie called "shooting" together. The equipment was so nice that made me enjoyed the movies so much. Before we left, we dealt our next meeting time, and I can not wait the day comes.

Today, I took the oral training class for 3 hours this morning. The topic that teacher asked us to discuss is " the interesting idioms in English". I felt quite fun because there are so many idioms made the words with animals or human bodies. Although the words are easy, I still feel the meaning are a little bit difficult to understand. However, the teacher told us that every phrases and sentences has it's meaning. Alll we need to do is study them careful. Then we will get the idea easily.

Recently, it seems that I start to get use to writing the diary in English. Although it always bothers me to think about the topics what I want to share each day, I still like the way teacher asks us to follow. Especially during the time whenever we discuss other's diaries. We all make mistakes in writing English diary, and those problems may also be ours, too. Therefore, in order to avoid making the common mistakes and unforgivable wrong spelling or verbose. I will keep writing it to improve my ability.

Bad news~ When I was just ready to go to school from my place this morning, I saw the news said that there will be a strong typhoon next Sunday. It made me feel sad because my friends and I are planning to take a one-day trip to Mt. Ali that day. However, for our safety, I think we will stand over the schedule. Too bad to made this decision. Last time I went there was the winter vacation of my sophomore year. We got up at about 3 A.M. early in the morning then just drove up to Mt. 玉 to view the starts and the sunrise as well. The view was so amazing that I wanna go to visit there again. Therefore, maybe we will choose the other day to there!

Haha, I like Wednesday, what a wonderful day. I only need to take two courses, and the first one start the class at ten o'clock in the morning. Today, I feel really lucky that I can take the course which have us learn how to teach kindergarten's children English. I think the teacher is so nice and this class will do help me a lot in the future. I have now already been an English teacher in a children's language cram school, but I don't have any experience about teaching kindergarten's children yet. Therefore, I think that will be a good chance for me to try it!

A whole new week, I wanna talk about two couses I took today. One is "Lingustic" , another one is "Translation". I took the first one in the morning, it was a boring class. The book we use is written in English, and the words are not easy to understand. Whenever I read that textbook, just like I am reading an English dictionary. How sad~ Gosh! I start to worried about that if i will be flunked or not. After that, I took another class-"Translation" then in the afternoon. That class is taught by Dennis, and It was a fun class. I learned how to use good way to translate no matter a sentence or a paragraph. I really enjoyed that! However, Monday blue is not that blue!! Haha~
