A graduate trip

My classmates and I went to Okinawa for our graduate trip in last winter vocation. This tour was very interested and made me impressed, because of it’s my first time visited abroad with my classmates. We got up early on Friday morning and went to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport then took CI flight to Okinawa. Actually, the flight time is very short just about 1 hour from Taiwan to Okinawa. 

    When we arrived there at afternoon and immediately started our trip. We went to the biggest aquarium in the world, closely watched many fish. We also visited the Ryukyu Mura, it is a village that representing early Ryukyu’s culture and building, we also watched a traditional performance in there, I felt it a very nice show. Certainly, we didn’t miss the Japanese delicious food and beer, everyone enjoyed it so much. 

    However, my classmate Phoebe was the most impressed me a person, because she shared feeling that found her true love “Rocker” with everyone in Okinawa. This trip brought a lot wonderful memory to me. I liked it so much.

    Finally, I must to thanks Howard who is one of our respectable teachers for arranging this perfect tour. We couldn’t have a memorable if without him, so I hope we could have second trip with him after graduation.

Do you have an effective way of dealing with stress that involves steps? Describe your process for relieving stress.

Nowadays, stress is overflowing in our life. It may come from society, work, or school. Fitting stress can be caused by something positive, but heavy stress is able to danger our health. Therefore, a way of beating stress is very important for us. In my experience, trying to relieve stress by relaxing through exercise is very helpful. When a person wants to reduce stress using an exercise, people can follow a procedure of two main steps enjoying exercise and showering.

First, finding your interesting exercise and enjoying it are important to this technique. For example, jogging is one of my favorite exercises, thus, I don’t think anything and enjoy it when I jogged. If you couldn’t focus on your exercise, and this way would be not success.

Next, Showering can take tire away and get comfort, hence, you have to take a shower when you done an exercise.

In conclusion, many people find themselves trying to cope with stressful situations that occur in everyday life. Although everyone is different and may try a unique way to relive stress, in my experience, going to do exercise when you felt a heavy stress, then you will reduce stress and get relaxing.

where place is the most I want to visit from my classmates’ suggestions

    Good afternoon teacher, I am Ken. Today, I will tell you about where place is the most I want to visit from my classmates’ suggestions. It’s Japan by Terry and Moya suggested. There are four points have been attracted me.

    First, I am very like the Japanese food, especially, Sushi, Ramen and Udon. Because of they are very popular and delicious, and it’s my favorite food.

    Sushi is a Japanese dish that consists of small cakes of cooked rice served with raw fish.

    Ramen and Udon is the Japanese noodle, it cooks with the vegetable, meat and soup.

    Next is place. Terry and Moya introduced Tokyo, Kyoto and Okinawa. Three places have the different view. I had been in Tokyo, Kyoto and Kyusyu with the travel agency, but Okinawa is not visited yet. Japan is a very polite and clean country. When I had arrived in Japan at the first time, the flesh air impressed me. So, I told myself if I could, I would travel in Japan again and again. Actually, Tokyo, Kyoto and Okinawa have a different view, Tokyo is the city view, Kyoto is the country view, but Okinawa is the small island of Japan. Swimming, diving, fishing and much more water activities is over there. So, I think Okinawa should give a whole new and different experience’s Japan to me.

    Third is language. I am learning Japanese now, but I don’t talk with any Japanese. Therefore, if I could travel in Japan, I would talk to local in Japanese.

    Final is short distance. I don’t like a long flight. It’s very uncomfortable to me, because, I have to sit onto a narrow chair, and watching movies, listening music or sleeping in the airplane for several hours. However, from Taiwan to Okinawa, the flight is just about 1 hour.

    In conclusion, food, view, language and short distance supported me to choose Japan on my next travel schedule. And, I also want to thank my classmates Terry and Moya to present us a nice place and their experience.

Presentation Alishan about scenery

Good afternoon teacher, I am Ken. Today, Roy and I will introduce the Alishan National Scenic Area to you.

Why we chose the Alishan to present?

The reason is the wonderful nature view.

We have divided this presentation into three parts.

First, I will tell you about where the Alishan is and what features the Alishan has. Then, Roy will talk about his experience and final conclusion.

Our talk should take about 5 minutes.

There are four beautiful nature views and one special view in the Alishan.

First one is the sunrise,

Next one is the sunset,

Pushing my limit

In my opinion, everyone has had a lot of experiences of challenge in life. That would be in study, job, relationship or activity. Certainly, I also have had a lot, but, today, I want to tell you the nearest experience, that is going to the Lunghwa University learning languages. The reason is, my English and Japanese are not well for a long time, but I really hope I can listen, speak, read, and write English and Japanese very well in the future. Therefore, I have gone to the Lunghwa University  to enhance my languages. Actually, this decision is a very big challenge for me, because, all of teachers, they almost speak English in class, and I have to give them a lot of reports and presentations in English and Japanese. Of cause, this is the Department of Applied Foreign Languages. According to experts, one stage by one stage study should be better than jumping study. However, I chose a jumping study. So, I need to spend more times and more energies on studying. In fact, I don’t have much time, because I have to work on weekday, and I am very busy. Usually, I go home at 9 or 10 p.m. So, I just can use break time to do my homework and studying. It’s not really easy, so many times, I hardly want to give up, but I am not. So far, I am so excited and glad, because I have studied in here for one year half, got a lot of knowledge and skill on language and made many classmates. On the other hand, I have to sincerely thank my teachers, they always teach hard to us. I just can reach my goal.

Antismoking laws

        The second-hand smoke is a harmful to  the non-smoker, but, most smokers who don’t care that if harmed others, they just want to roll on smoking. Therefore, all of governments had been starting to establish antismoking laws for protecting innocents. Although, many smokers against antismoking laws, but I believe that antismoking laws should be established for three reasons.

The first and most important reason to support antismoking laws is that avoiding a second-hand smoke to en-danger non-smokers. According to the Hong Kong Council on Smoking & Health researched, “The victim who is inhaled the second-hand smoke for a long time that getting the lung cancer is higher than smoker.” It’s like indirect homicide, so I believe firmly, the government must enact antismoking laws to protect guiltless victims.

A second reason to support antismoking laws would be decreased smoking effectively. Why are there so many smokers? In my opinion, anyone can easily buy tobacco, and they can arbitrarily smoke at anytime and anywhere. That is main reason which causing smokers rife. Nonetheless, if there were laws to limit age of buying tobacco and area of smoking, that be able to control smoking desire and to reduce smoking.

The final reason to support antismoking laws is about the pollution issue. The researchers reported, “There are tar, ammonia, nicotine, and more than 4,000 kinds of harmful chemical substances and carcinogens from one burning tobacco. In other words, ten tobaccos will be decuple. Actually, nowadays, there are 350,000,000 smoking populations around the world. How terrible! It’s really a big pollution, so administrations should be passed antismoking laws as soon as passable.

To summarize, smoking has been harming the innocent, smoker, and the environment. Accordingly, the governments around the world should quickly establish antismoking laws.

Tell & show about Par-Kour

Good evening everyone, I am Ken. Today, I will take 1 minute to tell you about par-kour. You can see the picture on screen. “Par-kour” is the sport of running through city streets and jumping between buildings. It started from France in 1980, and means “to transcend barrier of training ground”. I think it’s such as Chinese kun fu “輕功”. Nowadays, it has become more popular in China. I hope this presentation can let you know what par-kour is.

What kind of exercise do you enjoy doing?

Jogging is one of my favorite exercises. The reason has 3 points. First one is simple. It’s not need difficult skills. I am just to do running. The second one is low cost. I don’t spend the other money to buy tools. Finally, jogging can easily train my will and hardiness.
