Love and Care

    If we don't have love and care in our life, what would we be? I think it is terrible to live without love and care. if I do not have love and care from my family and friends, I think that I will get crazy and feel lonely. Nowadays, there are many people was lack for love and care, and they will think it is no meaningful to live in the world. How can we prevent this thing from happening? There are two ways for us to do.

  

    In these days, I watch news and know that there are many tragedies happened. For instance, a teenager killed four people in the Mass Rapid Transit, and over twenty people got hurt. When I saw the news, I was so shocked, sad and unbelievable. The news pointed out that it was because his parents did not give enough love and care form him. Not only teenager's family but also the people who died or got hurt all felt sad and sorrowful. From that, we knew that showing love and care to the people is very important.

    First, we can talk to them frequently. They will feel that they are cared. Secondly, taking them out to play instead of play the computer games at home is good for their mood. Playing basketball, volleyball, baseball and so on is a good way to them, because these sports need many people to play with, they will have more opportunities to interact with different people and can be more extroverted. However, if they stay at home and play the games all the time, they will become unsociable. In addition, almost the games are violent and the games will cause them be more violent too. We should stay away from the computer games and spend much time on interacting with other people, and we can be easily social and confident. 

    Showing our love and care is not difficult to do. We should always be passionate and accompany with them. We must let them know that we love and care about them, so that they will not feel lonely and have negative thoughts. Showing love and care to people will prevent a tragedy from happening.

  

Death

    This afternoon, I asked my friend that are you afraid of dying. She said calmly that she was not fearful of dying, but she only worried about her mother. She said that if she die, her mother would be very sad. After hearing that, I asked myself. Was I afraid of dying?

    People tend to avoid saying the death during the conversation. They may think that the death is unfortunate and unlucky, and they also think that saying the death will make the atmosphere bad. However, if we do not mention that, it will not happen? I think the answer is not. Life has a routine that is from the birth, the young , the adult and the elder to the death. The routine is that everyone must have.
    When we become older, we will more afraid of the death. I am also afraid of  the death. I think I do not have the courage to confront the death, and i do not make a full preparation to face it. When I imagine that I die, I would fear that I can't see my favorite family, friends, and the beautiful world anymore. In addition, I maybe have some dreams that do not come true. It was terrible. Therefore, I must cherish what I have now, and I should do my best to make my dreams come true. Most Importantly, I must have a happy and successful life, and I don't want to have regrets for my life when I die.
 

Bridge to Terabithia

    In the Young Adult Novels and Films course, I read a novel named Bridge to Terabithia. In this novel, there was a boy, Jess, and his personalities were not confident and timid. In addition, Jess liked to draw, but his father thought that drawing was not good. Jess liked to run and he wanted to be the fastest kid in the fifth grade. However, during the game, he was defeated by Leslie who was a girl and transferred from other school. Because of this, Jess disliked Leslie. Jess liked music class, because he had crush on the teacher, Miss Edmunds. Miss Edmund was the only one to admire Jess's drawings.                                                   

    After few days, Jess thought that Leslie was a confident girl and she also admired Jess's painting is cool. Gradually, they became friends. One day, they swung through over the creek and found a place. They called the place was Terabithia.  After school. they would went to the Terabithia to construct a refuge. In the Terabithia, Jess and Leslie ruled as a king and a queen. Moreover, they would image creatures to attack the kingdom, and they would defeat them.

    One day, Jess was invited to art museum by Miss Edmunds. At first, Jess was thinking whether he asked Leslie to go with them together. Later, he thought it was the first time to have a date only he and Miss Edmunds. When Jess came back, his family told that Leslie was dead by drowning when she swung through over the creek and the rope was split. When Jess heard that, he shouted with angry at his family that they were kidding. When he ran through Leslie's house, he saw many office cars. He knew that Leslie's death was real. At first, he cried and then he receipt that. He told to himself that Terabithia was a dream between Leslie and him, so he went to the Terabithia and rebuilt to kingdom. 

    In this novel, I know that family background can deeply influence our personality deeply. Leslie personalities are bold and likes to try new things. In the Leslie's family, she is the only kid, so her parents gives all their love to her. In addition, her parents give her freedom to let her do what she wants to do. However, Jess's personalities are totally different to Leslie's. Jess has two elder sisters and two younger sisters. His parents do not show enough love to him, and they will scold Jess if he make the mistakes. Because of this, Jess is more sensitive and not confidence.

    New semester is coming. Last Sunday, my father took my brother to Taoyuan, because the new semester would start. In this semester, I select a course named Young Adult Novels and Films. In this course, the teacher let us read the four novels and watch the movies have been adapted from the novels. Reading the novels can help me improve some writing skills. I hope this semester I have progress in writing.

Go Traveling ~~

    Last Sunday, my father took us to Kending for vacation. At first, I was afraid that the weather in Kending would be bad because of the front. Surprisingly, when we arrived in Kending, the weather was so good. It just liked summer. I thought it was a good start.

    First, we went to Sheding Nature Scenic to go on picnic. We brought some fruits, KFC, and buying some famous Chinese steamed buns. In Sheding Nature Scenic, there was a big grassland. We chose one place to eat lunch. Luckily, we saw a lot of people, and they were shooting a comerical of camera. This was the first time that I saw that, and I felt so cool. Later, we went to Guanshan to watch the sunset. Guanshan's sunset is one of the top ten must see the sunset in the world. You can see the sun go down below the sea level. the image is so beautiful. That day's weather was good, so we could see the sunset. Therefore, there were so many people stood in pavilion to wait the sunset. After seeing the sunset, we went to the Houbihu to eat lunch. In the Houbihu, there were so many seafood restaurant, and the seafood was all fresh.  

    We went to hotel to take a rest. About 10 p.m, we went to kending Road which was like a night market to buy something as midnight snacks. On the other, when I waked up, I found the weather was not good and cloudy. Even though the weather is cloudy, we still went to the beach to play. Then, we drove to Eluanbi Park. Unluckily, when we went into the park, it was raining. There were still many tourists. We walked the path to see the Eluanbi lighthouse. When I walked to the top, I could see the sea and the mountain together.

    These two days, I was very happy. We planned to come to Kending again in the March with my uncle and aunt. 

Chinese New Year

    Last Thursday is Chinese New Year's Eve. My uncle took his family came home to have a reunion and ate New Year's Eve dinner. This day was very busy, because we needed to do many things, including helping father paste the Spring Festival couplets, having a general cleaning, and helping mother prepare dinner. After eating the dinner, the children must look forward to receiving the red envelops. When the adults gave us the red envelops, we should say something propitious to them. On New Year's day, many relatives will come to our home to celebrate Chinese New Year. In these days, we always have a lot of visitors. On the second day of the Lunar New year, my mother will return home. 

    Chinese New Year is to let family have a reunion. In addition, Chinese New Year is a time to play some games with the family. First, my father bought five $100 scratch-off lottery ticket, and each one have one. When I scratched the ticket, I was so nervous but excited, because I didn't know how much I would got. Unluckily, I didn't get any money from the ticket, but my father got $700. Second, I played Mahjong with my father and two younger brothers. I think that Mahjong needs skills so that I can't not lose the game easily. Third, I paly four color cards with brothers, uncles and aunts. Mahjong and four color cards like the gambles. If you win, you get the money; if you lose, you will give your money to the winner. Because of that, you will think the game is more exciting and  more interesting. If you have time, you can try it.

Have Fun In Taichung

    Yesterday, Daddy took us to Taichung. First, we went to Chung She to have a sightseeing. I wanted to say that there was so beautiful that I thought I was in a virtual world.  When I walked into the there, I saw many different colors flowers in front of me. There are many parts, and each part has its subject. The flowers are all colorful, including tulips, lavender and so on. In the part of the lavender, there is a piano for people to take beautiful pictures. Besides, there are a big pond and there is lots of fish. Sadly, we couldn't see the lotus because it is not on the right season. However, we still saw many beautiful flowers. If you are lucky, you can see the couple are taking wedding photos. 

    After that, we went to the Top City which is a department store to eat lunch. The restaurant was so famous that there are always many people. We didn't make a reservation, so we go to the service desk. The attendant gave us the number, and she said that she would call the number. When I saw the number, I just couldn't say anything because the number is 107. I thought that how long we would wait in my mind. Luckily, we just waited about twenty minutes or so. The restaurant like a paradise, because it is a cafeteria and there are so many delicacies for us to choose.  I ate many dishes and I was full. I want to thank my father for taking us to see a sea of flowers and eat a great feast.
