Advantages of Growing up in a Small Town

Thanks Irene to correct my writing.
Growing up in a small town has a lot of advantages. There are some reasons why it’s good to grow up in a small town. First of all, you have friendly neighbors. For example, people who live around you could be friendly and they are just like your relatives. Most of people who live in a small town are having very supportive characteristics, passionate hearts, and willing to help each other. That makes they have a good relationship, so they can help each other all the time. People said “a distant relative is not as good as a near neighbor”. Secondly, the cost of living is low. It is totally lower than the cost of living in the city. What they can do to make the life easier is that sometimes they share or exchange the food they grew, such as vegetables, sweet potatoes and fruits. Thirdly, it’s close to the nature. In the morning, you can hear the birds’ singing and the roosters’ crowing. They wake you up every day. The fresh air will make you spirit bright, so people live in a small town normally get up early. Moreover, small town’s mother will prepare breakfast for the family and they believe the breakfast is the most important meal in a day. There won’t have traffic jam and noise to bother you. You can have a sweet sleep at night. There are so many advantages of growing up in a small town. Why don't you move to the suburbs?

How Do You Protect Yourself by Identity Theft?

Criminals commit identity theft by stealing your personal information. This is often done by taking documents from your garbage or by making contact with you and pretending to be from a legitimate organization.

Identity theft can result in fraud affecting your personal financial circumstances, as well as costing government and financial services millions of pounds a year. If your identity is stolen, you may have difficulty getting loans, credit cards or a mortgage until the matter is sorted out.

There are some tips on next writing.

If You Are the Victim of Identity Fraud

Reporting the problem


If you believe you are a victim of identity fraud which has involved the use of credit and cash cards, or online banking, the matter should be reported by the account holder directly to the financial institution concerned. They will then be responsible for undertaking further verification and investigation, and, as appropriate, reporting cases of criminal activity directly to the police where they will be recorded and subsequent investigation considered.

Where an identity fraud incident has not involved the use of credit cards or online banking then you should report the matter to the relevant organization in the first instance and, dependent on their advice, to your local police station.

You should report all lost or stolen documents i.e. passport, ID and credit cards to the relevant organization.

Identity Theft

What is Identity theft?
Your identity and personal information are valuable. Criminals can find out your personal details and use them to open bank accounts and get credit cards, loans and documents such as passports and ID in your name.

How does it work?
• You may lose or had stolen important documents such as your passport or ID.
• Post expected from your bank has not arrived or you are receiving no post at all.
• Items have appeared on your bank or credit-card statements that you do not recognize.
• You receive bills, invoices or receipts addressed to you for goods or services you haven’t asked for.
• You have received letters from some companies or debt collectors for debts that aren’t yours.
• Banks that you do not normally deal with contact you to chase an outstanding debt.

English Catalogue

I made a English Catalogue for cuting head for English Bussiness course:

HPT Cutting Head
  • HPT (high-precision tool) cutting head is characterized by the highest level of precision and economic efficiency. 
  • The increased precision makes it easier to reposition the head on the contour after a break in cutting.
  • In addition the cutting head guarantees an optimal flow of the abrasive material and hence a height acceleration of the cutting sand. This increases the efficiency and the cutting performance.
  • Through the use of ultra-long-life material

Compare with 2 Chanel Ads


An indefinable femininity.獨一無二的女性風味。

May 1921, the perfume creator presented to Ms Chanel and she barely hesitated before choosing the fifth one, which was to become CHANEL N°5.
This time Chanel N°5 asked Audrey as her new brand representative and hired a famous director to take more than two minutes of advertising. The advertisement is just like a small film.
Audrey is so elegant and graceful in the movie.
The ad show this product is for mature and intelligent women.

Learning Japanese

It’s my first to study Japanese at school and it's a whole new language for me.  I think it’s really hard for me to learn a new language since I learned. Although there are a lot of Japanese songs, movies, TV shows and products around us and I love to use Japanese 3C and Cosmetics and skin care products. But I never think I will spend time on learning Japanese before. It’s a huge challenge for me and Japanese is really difficult to learning. It has basic 50 Tone and one is for Hiragana and another one is Katakana. It’s hard for me to remember these 100 Tone and it’s easy to forget after reading. I just know I have to study Japanese for 3 semesters, and it will kill me. We are going to have the mid-term this Sunday and I am so nervous now. I am afraid I won’t get good points on this course.

Good Shopping Experience

I prefer to shop online so I usually shop at eBay and Yahoo. A few years ago, I wanted to buy some clothes for my daughters and I found a special seller at Yahoo. She is also a mother and she sold a lot of American Brands, such as, Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Gymboree….. I bought some stuffs from her at the first time. When I received the closes and shoes I ordered. I was surprised and impressive about her product. They are so beautiful and the real products were just match with the photos. Everything that the seller sold was all from America and her daughter was also the model to demo her products. I wanted to buy some others clothes from her again so I asked her to recommend me some tips to choice clothes. She also give me some advise and I bought more stuffs form her. She also taught me how to shop online at www.gap.com. Finally we became friends after all.

The Garbage Project

Most archaeologists study buried housed, broken objects, and old garbage to learn important things about ancient societies. At the University of Arizona in the United States, however, archaeology students are investigating today’s garbage. They hope to learn important things about modern society by studying its garbage. The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, students have studied garbage in cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
大部分的考古學家研究埋沒的房屋,破碎的物件,及老舊的廢棄物來了解古代社會重要的事情。然而,美國亞利桑那州大學的考古學學生研究的是近期的廢棄物。他們藉著研究廢棄物是希望能了解現代社會。廢棄物企劃案在1973年成立於美國亞利桑那州大學。自此學生開始研究位於美國,加拿大,墨西哥的城市廢棄物。

To study the modern world’s garbage, students had to travel to landfills, the places where cities bury their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage, they wore special clothes and used safety equipment. Students were also very careful when they opened bags of garbage. What have students in the Garbage Project learned from studying modern garbage? One important thing they learned is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to the students, as well as to many scientists who had predicted that roughly 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear naturally and quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, forty-year-old hot dogs, and lettuce from 1970.
為研究現代世界的廢棄物,學生必須前往垃圾掩埋場,垃圾掩埋場是城市埋葬垃圾的地方。當學生在研究廢棄物時,他們要穿特殊的衣服,並使用安全的裝備。學生也很小心的打開垃圾袋。參與廢棄物企劃案的學生學到了什麼呢?他們學到了一件重要的事是垃圾掩埋場裡的廢棄物消矢的非常慢,學生們及許多科學家都非常驚訝,他們都預測大約70%在垃圾掩埋場裡的廢棄物會自然且快速的消失。甚至在降雨量很大的城市,學生們找到1948年的報紙,40歲的熱狗及1970年的萵苣。

The Garbage Project also revealed that what people say they do is often very different from what they actually do. The archaeology students asked people what they bought, ate, and drank, and then they compared this to what people threw away. For some reason, the two didn't match. For example, the students found many more empty bottles of alcohol than people said they drank.
廢棄物企劃案也顯現,人們說會做的事情與實際做到的通常有極大的差異。考古學學生拿人們所買的、吃的和喝的物品跟實際丟掉的做比較。但不知道為何無法畫上等號。例如,學生們發現含酒精的空瓶子,人們說的比實際喝的還要多。

Information from the Garbage Project has also helped us to see how much garbage we actually put in landfills. The students are hopeful that this will encourage us to find better ways to dispose of our garbage. Of course, the best way to dispose of garbage depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular garbage, hazardous materials, or recyclables, such as newspapers, glass bottles, and some metals. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Hazardous materials, on the other hand, contain poisonous chemicals or metals. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.
從「廢棄物企劃」的資料裡,讓我們[也了解到底有多少的垃圾丟在掩埋場裡。學生們是希望這些研究,可鼓勵我們去尋找更好的方法處理我們的垃圾。當然,最好的處理垃圾方法取決於它是什麼種類的垃圾:一般垃圾,有害物質,或是可回收物品,例如報紙,玻璃瓶,和一些金屬製品。一般垃圾會掩埋在一般的掩埋場裡。另一方面,危險物品,包含有毒化學藥品和金屬。此類物品不能丟在一般的掩埋場裡。

Ordinary houses are full of hazardous waste. The most problematic hazardous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries end up in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water and other liquids to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground. People could avoid this problem by using rechargeable batteries.
普通家庭充滿了有毒的垃圾,在家中最有問題的有毒廢棄物就是電池了。當電池用完埋在掩埋場裡時,它們時常會裂開。裡面的有毒物藉由雨水和其他液體流入掩埋場的底部。那些有毒物會汙染地下的自然水。為了避免這類問題,人們可以使用可充式電池。

Another hazardous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it poisons the environment. They should recycle old motor oil instead.
另一個家中有毒的垃圾是機油, 當人們傾倒舊機油在地上或是丟棄於垃圾裡時,機油就會毒害環境。他們應該回收舊機油來取代。

Unfortunately, recycling is expensive. It takes time, equipment, and special treatment. Toronto began the first recycling program in North America in 1982. The city started by recycling newspapers, and later it added glass and cans to its recycling program. When students from the Garbage Project studied the Toronto landfills, they found that recycling was having a positive effect. Since 1982, Toronto has reduces the amount of garbage going into its landfills by 25%.
不幸地是,資源回收是昂貴的,它需花費時間、設備和特別的處理。1982年多倫多市首先在北美開始實施回收計畫。這城市一開始是先回收報紙,後期的回收計畫增加到回收坡璃和罐頭。當「廢棄物計劃」的學生研究多倫多市的垃圾掩埋場時,他們發現回收有正面的效應。自1982年開始,多倫多市已減少25%的垃圾數量丟至垃圾掩埋場裡。

A health official once said, "We're in deep trouble here. We have too much garbage, our landfills are closing, and we can't open new ones because people don't want them. If we don't do something about our garbage, we're going to be buried in it.” The health official made that statement in 1889! Clearly, our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.
一位衛生局官員曾說:「我們在這正有大麻煩。」我們有太多的垃圾,垃圾掩埋場卻要關閉了,因為人民的反對我們卻不能開闢新的掩埋場。假如我們再不對垃圾採取措施方案,我們將會被垃圾掩埋。衛生局官員在1889年發表以上聲明!無疑地,垃圾問題對我們來說早已不新,但隨著世界人口繼續增加,這個問題就會越滾越大。

A Person Who Has Made a Difference: My English Teacher

Ms. Tsai was my English teacher when I was studying at Junior high school. It was also her first time to teach English there. The teaching method was very new and fresh for me. Ms. Tsai chose me to be her assistant in our class and asked me to lead all the classmates to read aloud the vocabulary from English textbook after the school bell had been rang. Teacher always suddenly appeared behind the classroom and corrected our pronunciations right away. So I was under lot of pressure and I had to do preparation for lessons before the class. But it was also a great opportunity and challenge for me to study harder. Her teaching style was very vivid, lives and opened my mind deeply. She inspired me the way to learn English and let me love English more and more. I know she lives in Kaohsiung and teaches English at a senior high school. I really want to see her again and I miss her so much.

MAMMA MIA


Mamma Mia is based on the songs of ABBA. ABBA was a Swedish singer group active from 1972 - 1982 and was one of the most internationally popular pop groups of all time. The movie is a story about a 20 years old girl who invites her 3 possible fathers to walk her down the aisle. The main actress is Meryl Streep and she plays Donna Sheridan and another actress is Amanda Seyfried she plays Sophie. The actors are Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgård and they play the 3 possible fathers of Sophie. Donna is a single parent and raises her only daughter, Sophie by herself. Sophie is going to marry her fiance, and she wants her father to walk her down the aisle during her wedding. She is confused because she doesn’t know which one is her father so this makes the story complexly and fascinatingly. I was surprised when I first saw the movie because all the actors and actress were singing by themselves. My favorite actress Meryl Streep’s acting was so wonderful and touching. All the songs are matched the story and are appealing to the ear. I think it’s a great movie and I will recommend my friend to see this movie.

My Lovely Little Daughter - Iren

My little girl, Iren, is 4 years old. My mother-in-law helps me take care of her during my working hours. Luckily, my mother-in-law is a very nice mother, so I don’t need to cook dinner for the family when I am at work. She is so good at cooking, so there is no ''thin'' member in our big family, especially my little girl. She is 19 kgs and her physique is bigger than other girls of the same age.

Iren is also a lovely girl, but she has chinky eyes when she smiles. Her personality is totally different from Minnie. She is much more mature and sensible than Minne. She can take a shower and brush her teeth by herself. Although she is not as smart as her elder sister, but she is so sweet sometimes, and the way she talks just like an adult, bringing my family so much fun. Now she is in copycat age, she loves to copy adult behavior now. She likes acting like a busy office lady. Typing on keyboard or pretending talking with someone by phone is her job. My husband loves her more than Minnie. She is really funny and adorable.

Iren is afraid of strangers except those who have candy or cookies for her. Therefore, there is only one way to get close to her --- using food to attract her. When she sees someone who might have food on hand, she always asks “what is this?” then which means you got her weakness! She is kind of fat because she is greedy for food. She always gets angry and crazy when she can’t eat some food that I don’t allow her to eat, so her nickname is Chubby (阿肥肥). Now you can understand why I called her “greedy”.

My daughter, Iren, is also my diamond, my precious and dear girl and I love her so much. I can’t imagine when she grows up and become a bride. I think I will be reluctant to see her marrying to some guy someday.


My Lovely Elder Daughter - Minnie

I have two daughters. The elder one, Minnie, is 8 years old and she is in second grade in primary school. Minnie is a lovely girl with big eyes and a charming smile. Some little boys liked her when she studied in kindergarten. But her front teeth were gone a few months ago so she looks funny when she laughs.


Minne is a clever, cheerful and energetic girl but sometimes she is sensitive when she sees or hears touching stories. She will cry and feel sympathy for that. She also gets all excited when there’re people around so I always call her “natural high”. My daughter is talkative and just like a bee around me. She loves to share everything with me and in some cases I feel her talking is too much and it’s really noisy. But sometimes she is so sweet and I can’t stop loving her.

Minnie loves to draw, sing, read and watch anime on TV. And her favorite TV program is SpongeBob and Doraemon. I have to restrict her on watching TV, otherwise she won’t stop. Watching TV too much is very bad for her eyes and a waste of time. She is also careless, for example, sometimes she forgets to bring the textbook or kettle home after school or she forgets to bring homework to school and left at home. Even I remind her several times a day, she still forgets sometimes. I hope she won’t be so careless when she gets older. However, she is a good girl and loves to help people.

My daughter, Minnie, is my diamond, my precious and dear girl and I love her so much. I can’t imagine when she grows up and become a bride. I think I will be reluctant to see her marrying to some guy someday.

Twilight


It is a love story about a vampire and a seventeen years old girl, Bella. She meets an exquisitely handsome boy at school when she moves to Washington. She feels an overwhelming attraction and realizes the boy is not completely human. But she never gives up and insists to stay with the vampire finally they became lovers.

After seeing the movie Twilight, I became curious about vampires. As I knew vampires always love to suck the blood from human especially the virgin’s blood. How come the boy, Edward, didn’t want to suck Bella’s blood or let her becomes a vampire just like him? I was very surprised about the vampires don’t afraid the sunshine and they don’t want to appear under the sun it is just because their skin will become sparking, flash and bright. They just afraid people will find out they are vampires. They also don’t need to take a rest and sleep in the coffin.

Edward is a vampire when he gets along with Bella and he always want to suck her blood. But he loves her so much so he can’t do this and he has to control his desire and stop thinking the fresh blood. I think it is hard to do that but he did it and he did it very well. It is all about love and I believe nothing is impossible to the man who will try. From this movie we got an idea “Where there is a will, there is a way”. Isn’t it?
