The Midterm Exam

Although I hate exam, I still have to prepare it. Last weekend, I spent more time on studying and I felt that I had two great days. Under the prssure of exam, I think I make the most of time. Besides, I slept well. If I was tired, I would take a rest and I would get up until I slept enough. If I felt fresh, I can concentrate on studies. After this week, I had had seven exams, some are easy but some are not. The open-book exam is not so easy to do well. I learned a lesson that I must take notes even this exam is a open-book exam.

Reunion

My seniors and junior had dinner together in a Argentina restaurant. We spent less but we were full. After the meal, we chatted and gossipped as usaul. Angela told us those things which happened in New York. She went to do part-time job in America for two months. She worked in a restaurant in Washington D.C. as a waitress. She said Wshington D.C. can be roughly devided four area, rich-white people area, not-rich-white, common-black people, and poor-black. The restaurant is in the common-black people area but it's closed to the poor-black area. She was afraid of those black people would eat without paying money. Hence, she said no wonder there is still gap between white and black people. Angela suggested me to go abroad. She really love s New York and want to live there. Somehow if I can choose where to live, I choose to live Japan because of the good social order and the Japanese characristics.

Tomb-sweeping Day

On April 4, my family went to I-land to sweep tombｓ. It's an important holiday that many people will reunion . We get up early to set up early becａuse there will be traffic jams that day. After 3 hours we got I-land. We went to grandmo's home and met my uncle, aunt, and cousins. And then we went ti sweep tomb together. We had to sweep four tombs. My mom prｅpared four cardboard which were filled with monetary papers, incense sticks, snacks, soda, a kind of speciａl paper.Besides, my mom prｅpared knives and newspaper. We needed to clean the tomb and cut off the bay. I like this feeling that my family is gathering together and finish some thing. After we grew up, we had less time being together. My brothers and I will work at different places, and we will get married or live at different places in the future. I can remeｍber the old days. We played together, fight. I teased my younger brother in my childhood, but now I can't tease him anymore. He became taller and stronger than I. It seems that those things happened yesterday.

A riding-bike day

Last Saturday David ,his high school classmates and I went to Hou-li to ride bicycle. We took the train at 10:40 to Hou-Li station, and we rent bicycles from a store next to the station. David and I rode tandem bike. It was the second time for me to ride tandem bike, but this time David sit in front of me. Hence, David spent more strengh to ride te bike when I took a rest. We rode throgh a narrow tunnel which originally was a railroad. We passed the narrow bridge. The scenery along the road is beautiful. People can be relax and ride the bike. There are many food vendors along the road. It's convenient but the food is more expensive than other places. I ate two hotdogs and a boiled corn there. The boiled corn was sweet. We were exhausted in the end because wetotally rode ten to fifteen km a day. I came home and fell asleep soon after bath. A tiring but happy day.
