Reflection a Film

         Watching movie is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. I watched a movie named 16- love, which is about a girl who can play tennis very well, and she broke her ankle during an important competition. She insisted to continue the game but the coach told her to abstain. The coach is also her father. In order to win the champion, her father did everything he can to help her recover as soon as possible after that game. That girl start to feel confuse about the reason why she play tennis.  She feels the dream she chase is not her own dream. She wants to find her own dream not his father’s dream. As a result, she escapes from all the therapy which can make her ankle better. Finally, she found her own reason to play tennis- play tennis with the boy she likes. After that she doesn’t have to carry her father’s dream any more. Furthermore, she can carry her own dream and move on.

         Nowadays, there still have some parents hope their children can fulfill their dream that they didn’t achieve when they were young. In fact, they have no idea this behavior may give a lot of pressure to their beloved children. Everyone is a separate individual. Every child will have their own dream to fulfill. As far as I am concerned, parents should not give their dream to their children because children have their dream. Children will lose the chance to find their dream and fulfill it.

        I am so glad that my parents didn’t give me any limitation. I can try everything what I am interested in, such as dancing, drawing, playing the piano, and playing the cello. Sometime I feel difficult to learn that stuff, but I still can conquer the problem without a doubt, because I am learning what I want to learn, what I am interested in. Having a dream to chase is a wonderful thing. Although not everyone of us can fulfill our dream. I think the worth-saving is the process to achieve the goal.

Reflection Composition

          Euthanasia still is a controversial issue for human being but what about for animal. I didn’t see anyone or any country is spoken for the animals. I feel sorry for those animals because of them cannot speak, they lose the right to live or have a better life. People treat them in human thinking. I think it is totally wrong.

In my opinion, our government should not kill the street dog easily. I agree the part of we have professional people to gather the dog together, feed them and take care of them. But I strongly disagree the part of kill them after twelve days if they are not adopted from anyone. Most of them still very healthy and people should not take their life away just because our government thinks this the easier way to solve the problem. Although human being rules the world, we still don’t have the right to decide who can alive and who have to die. Every life is very precious.

       Before I saw a documentary called “Twelve Night”. I have no idea about what kinds of life the street dog will have after they live in the refuge. This film is about the street dog’s last twelve days in the refuge. I felt sad, helpless, and angry when I saw this film. Half of street dog died of fatal disease. They don’t have some to take care of them, only thing they can do is waiting and die. Sometime they catch some pregnant dog but they don’t have extra care about them. People just separate the puppy and their mother immediately and the puppy always don’t have chance to survive without their mother. It is so cruel! I think it is ridiculous way to deal with the street dog problem. I suggest we should take good care of the dog in refuge and only kill the dog which is sick very terrible. We should give the street dog more chance to have a better life.

What is Music for you?

Music is really a amazing thing in my life. When I was a child in elementary school, my mother always play CD on stereo set in cook time or in the afternoon. I think it is a beginning for me to listen to music. When I was a senior high school student, I join the guitar club. At that time, I began to listen to a lot of music and I listen to lots of bands and singers music in domestic and international music.

  Now, I can’t live without music. I think music is like the thing which needs to do everyday. Music is like sun, air, water, or foods in my life. When I listen to music, I feel more relax, happy and content. I consider that music has a magic power to affect people emotion. It brings a lot of different atmospheres in many occasions. We can use music in wedding, party, ceremony and simple occasions to affect people from born to death. It’s just kidding! I have to say that although I am not music major, I also love music very much.

  Here is some singers’ music I love to listen. And I want to introduce to you. Before I introduce the music to you, I will introduce Independent Music. Independent Music is different from popular music. Independent Music means the process of producing music is made by the musician own. It is not involved in any big business companies’ support or firms’ support. Musician needs to try hard to publicize his or her own music and produce it step by step. It is really hard and they also need to try more hard to face the challenge. The reason why I introduce Independent Music is because I encourage everyone to support independent musician. The products made by them need to be through the big process and all of the products are his and her own creativity and originality.
  There are so many singers I want to introduce. Thus, I choose only two singers’ music which is from Taiwan I often listen to it. The first one is Cheer Chen. Her voice is softly but has big power to touch your heart. The other one is Deserts Xuan. Her voice has a worldly-wise feeling and also softly but deeper than Cheer Chen. Both of them are my favorite singers and I think their voice have power to encourage people and full of the feeling in telling story in positive and justice way. Here is their music.

Reflection in classmate’s article

After I read my classmate’s article, ‘Humans’ Partners in E Era’, I have a lot of thinking about it. This article is written about smart phones. She says that a lot of people use smart phone everyday and she can’t live without using smart phone in her daily life, too. For her, she needs to use it to check the weather, the time, the bus and she can search the information easily. Then, she can also send the message to her absent friends immediately online, and she can download many entertainments app, such as seeing a movie or playing games when she is bored at anytime or in her free time in everywhere.

In this article conclusion, she says that the situation of people of nomophobia and reminding people should use smart phone appropriately. I search the word, nomophobia, is the abbreviation of no-mobile phobia. If someone who addict on smart phone live without it immediately one day, she or he will feel anxious and nervous. I have seen this situation much time on my friends. If they lose their smart phone, they will get anxious. Moreover, someone uses it at anytime; even I talk to them. I think it is really impolite to use smart phone when you talk with someone face to face.

In my opinion, smart phone gives us lots of convenience exactly but we should not regard it as the indispensable thing and depending on it too much. We need to keep our mind in the balance way between 3C products and reality. For me, smart phone is a tool to communicate with people. We should control ourselves to use it. And we can’t let it affect our life, emotion and friends. Some people will get angry when someone bothers them on playing games or typing the message on the smart phone. If we can reduce the frequency of using 3C products, I think it will be better in our daily life.

How to Live in the Wilderness?

Living in the wilderness is pretty hard, but you can survive! Some of us watch the "Survivor" series on television just for laughs, because with so much food around them, the competitors should be eating like kings, but they haven't a clue about living in such bountiful surroundings. If we get lost in the wilderness, we should calm down and think carefully.

The following is that you have to do in tha wilderness: Collect your belongings in a backpack that has everything you need, but easy to carry. Pick a safe, secure site where you can stay. Close to a water source, but far enough where you will not be in danger of animals or high tides. First, fire is the essence to comfort in the wild and let you keep warm. Burning keeps away flies and mosquitoes. When you cook with fire do not use flame, build a fire long before you eat to create a hot bed of coals, open flame will burn your food to a black crisp. Second, you should find food before sunset. You do not eat anything unless you know that it is edible. You can try to eat insects and grubs Third, a lean to is an easy to construct shelter. You cannot sleep on bare ground, and always make the floor of your shelter something like hemlock bows, leaves, or hay. You will freeze if you sleep on the dirt. Stay calm and as relaxed as possible. Fourth, make water a priority. You can last without food for up to a month, but water is essential. Drinking purified water is critical. You can get many diseases from dirty water. You do not know if there is a dead animal upstream from you. So purify all your water. The easiest way is to boil it for 10 minutes.  Final, we should realize the direction and go toward to the south if you stay the nation of northern hemisphere.

reflection

               
     There  a journal impressed me because it is about the attitude to life.What is the proper attitude to life? When we face a unknown future, we would be scared and feel horrible. However, this essay mention dying is a another beginning of live.  I am interested in this journal result from my American literature teacher. Somtimes, she would share her thinking for us. And, she has ever talked about a trip related with bringing and end.  Once time, she was jogging on the  bridge. Then, she met a strange woman Andy talked with her. After the woman said："my home is there ", suddenly my teacher felt confuse. Woman asked her why she felt confused. She answered she didn't know where was her beginning. Because when she arrived another side of bridge and she had to ran back from that bridge, she couldn't know which side of bridge is her beginning that she both started jogging from there. Ula's movie made me recall this story.

     When my teacher taught us the last ditches, the author talked nature didn't have end. For example, the flower fall down, so the leaf have nutrition to bear. But the leaf bear first, then the flower just can blossom. Nature don't exist end and begining. That is a circle. The end is the beginning. Consequently, the dying and the live are the circle. Because of dying, we just can start new life. We experience life then we die. As a result, I can realize why the teacher in the movie didn't be afraid of death. Except for brave, I think that is a kind of nature.  The teacher in the movie know how to face death in a natural attitude. We born in nature, so we would die in nature.  And Ula mentioned that Morrie, the teach in the movie, attended his own funeral when he was alive. I consider that is really a good experience. We can recall the funeral we have ever attended. Those are filled with crying and regret. To contrast, Morrie's funeral would be happier than those. He can really let his friends and families see his "the last sight". No one can do it, and he completed it. This action is like another movie-- The Bucket List. The two sick elder list something they wanted to do before death. They didn't want to waste time to regret. Morrie might has already complet his list. So he can be happy to welcome the angel to bring him to start a new begining.

     No one isn't afraid of death. But death can't bring us a new begining. Before we end this trip, we should make this trip be more meaningful. Then we can start a new trip. As a result, I chose "a Good Movie" from Ula as my reflectin. It can make me to think. My teacher has ever taught us " A Scholar",  "A Scholar"mentioned to be a complete "Man" , so we should have individual thinking rather rely on book. Thinking can make us explore and broad our eye's sight. That is reason why I appreciate the movie Ula recommended. I think there will be more valuable thinking in this movie except for death and live. Thank you for Ula's recommending.

My Plan for the Future

      In the senior high school, teachers told us that we should think our future, but many of my classmates did not know their goals. I did not know, either. Although I had imagined that I can be a great scientist when I was 12 years old, I thought it was impossible because I studied social sciences major. My mom hoped that I would speak English well, so I accepted it and chose to major in English. After that, I thought about my future.

      After I graduate from Chinese Culture University, I will be a cram school teacher or working in the government institutions. The reasons why I chose them are weekend holidays, working hours, salary and environment. I know that many people in Taiwan work in a long time. They are very busy in working and exhausted after work every day. I think that be a teacher or working in the government are better than many other jobs. After 10 years, I will be English translator because I want to contact with foreigners and my listening and oracy in English are better than before.

      My dream is traveling around the world, so I made a plan to achieve it. After I work a year, I have much money and travel around Taiwan. I would like to take trains. My first destination is Lalashan in Taoyuan. There is famous for juicy peaches. Window on China Theme Park is a famous amusement arcade.

I have been there once. I want to play again. There are some shows and popular customs. The second destination is Hsinchu. There is famous for rice noodles, meat balls. Little Ding-Dong Science Park is a special amusement arcade .The third place is Miaoli. There is famous for Peanut brittle. The fourth destination is Taichung. There is famous for crispy Sun cake. There is a fairy waterfall and  can see kingfisher which is a kind of bird.The fifth destination is Zhanghua.There is a turnpike garden which has different flowers are following as four seasons. There is a cycle that offer cycle fans.The sixth destination is Nantou. We can contact with Mother Nature there. I have been to Cingjing  farm there in graduating travel. The fresh air and cute sheep make me feel relaxed and forgot anything trouble. Sun Moon Lake is a famous tour site. The seventh place is Yunlin. I want to visit Herb Museum because it is fresh things for me. The eighth destination is Chiayi. Alishan Forest Recreation Area is a famous tour site. There is Xiding Agricultural Leisure Trails. The ninth place is Kaohsiung. One of famous night market is Liuohe Tourist night market. I have been there once and there is very crowded. Parking pay is a little expensive.  I have been on board in Love River. We line up about an hour to take a boat, but my family and I were still happy. Month World is a rugged, bald geography.

It is cool. Next, Pingtung, my grandparents live there. My graduating trip went to Kenting. We had fun and took BBQ.The eleven destination is Taitung. I can eat stinky tofu, Chinese steamed buns and see flowers sea. Next, I want to have Whitewater Rafting in Hualien . Taroko gorge national park in Hualien county. The final destination is Yilan. Luodong night market is famous. The whole trip may takes me about a month. After 10 years, I earn a lot of money and travel around the Europe.

     When I am 60 years old, I will live in suburban because I tend to live a quite and no dirty air place. Maybe, I live in Nantou because I dream that my house near Sun Moon Lake and see beautiful scenes every day.
