Lost My Key
Last night when I was going to ride my scooter, I couldn't find my key. I always put it in the pocket of my beg. I was nervous and sad. However, yesterday we had a big dinner together to celerbrate the winter camp. A senior took me to the restaurant. Even though I was in bad mood, I still ate some thing. I was totally hungry, but recalled my lost key. I worried. The restaurant is 石頭, a all-you-can-eat restaurant. I didn't recommend it. Because there is less choise of material for barbecu, especially the seafood. I was a little disappointed. I liked dried bean curd sushi and shrimp eggs temaki. After we were full, we started to draw the raffle tickets. I won the first prize. However, the gift is three T-shirt designed for winter camp. After the dinner, I called somebody to help me to make the other key. I found that I put my key in the storage compartment. I was so stupid and less careful. Fortunately, I found my key.

speak for pet
Recently I am interested in a special woman who can speak for pets. She is able to communicate with dogs, cats. I thought it's amazing and strang. I knew this woman first on a TV program. Dogs don't make sound ,and the woman still can understand their thoughts. It seems that they talk in mind. Then I searched a blog, and read many stories of many pets with their masters. Some pets will talk about their masters. They understand their masters' thoughts. For exaple, many dogs say their mommy want to get in shap, but they failed. They hope they can get in shape successfully. Through this kind of conversation, masters can know what their pets think. Most importantly, they know the pets' health condition. What illness they suffer. Many dogs are so considerate and sweet. They know their masters are hard-working. They will say some warm words to praise them. I was touched when I read their stories. I believe that pets can talk. I admired that the woman volunteer to be a speaker for animals for free. She has been helping many dogs and cats. I admired her. I am thinking about and wish that what will Little-Yellow talk to me.

Yesterday
I was in good mood and bad mood yesterday. I lost a part-time job yesterday. My student's mother called to the custmer service and said that I was chatting during the class wit her children. I felt so bad. She misunderstood me. It's impossible that I just chat with her children all the time, but it's impossible that I don't talk with my students. If I don't talk with them. How can I know their conditions ? I was andry either. From this experience, I get a lesson. I have to talk with parents all the time and be careful to do my duty. Or I will be dismissed from my job with no reason again. I have to the truth that if someone dismiss you and then they can find any excuse. I was in the bad mood util the night. I joined a tea party of a club. Some people are my friends who are belong to the club.

A-Li Mountain
I joined a camp and took a trip to A-Li Motain with my club friends, who also joined the camp. At the first day, we sopped at Fengihu. We saw the engine of train and took pictures there. We had the ffamous Fengihu luchbox for lunch. I thought the lunch box was too expensive and not delicious. In the afternoon, we discussed and prepared a play which we showed in the evening. I felt excited when a old train was running in front of me. We had a meeting in the afternoon. We practiced how to let a meeting go fluently, and used what we learned in the three-day classes. I felt bored during the two-hour meeting. We watched other plays which was played by other groups. They are very funny and creative. Besides, the host taught us to dance. We danced with a Taiwanese song, called ''You Are My Flower.'' We went to our room about nine. I went to bed at 11:30. We all went to bed early because we had to get up at 4 to see the sunrise.
It's torture for me to get up so early but it's worth appreciating the sun setting. I had nvere been to A-Li Mountain before, so I felt excited for this trip. I saw the beautiful cherry blossom. I also enjoyed the fresh air which make me feel comfortable and easy.

My Part-time Jobs
This semester I have two part-time jobs. One is teaching English in a cram school, and the other is teaching a girl English and math. Although two jobs seem similar however, they are totally different. There are three major differences between them, which is the way I teach, the time I prepare for, and the salary I get.
Teaching English in a cram school makes me exhausted because I have to face eleven students at the same time. I need to make sure that every student is following what I say. For example, when I teach an alphabet, I will ask them to raise their hands and practice writing. They finish writing the alphabet three times on their exercise books before I teach the next one. I had to wait for those students who had not finished, because I must care every student at the same time. In addition, learning how to control a class is very important because it is not allowed for the students to be out of control or too noisy. In contrast, as a tutor, I can just focus on a student so it is much easier for me. I don’t have to spend lots of time preparing activities because I just teach her and answer her questions. Moreover, I feel relaxed when I teach a student because the class is flexible. I can adjust the schedule depended on the situation for the student. For instance, I will give her 15 minutes to ask questions before I start to teach a new lesson. If she has difficulties to understand what I teach, I will spend more time explaining it until she really comprehends.
Second, I have to spend more time preparing material for a class than a tutoring session. Before giving a class, I need to think about how I will teach. Whether teachers can teach a class well depends not on their knowledge but on the method. For example, I think and design some activities or games during the class, so they can not only learn something from my class but also have fun. Children may learn more from activities and games. Boring class, in contrast, cannot arouse their interest in English. Hence, the preparation before a class is important. However, tutoring is easier and simple. I seldom prepare for that because I can answer her questions and teach her the knowledge I have learned before. In addition, I don’t have to spend time designing activities. Printing and searching for quiz questions may take the most time, because I sometimes give tests to my student to know whether she really learned and reviewed after class.
The salary I get as a tutor is much higher than I teach in the cram school. I think the reason is that the former is depended on my academic performance. If I study at more famous and excellent university, I may get higher salary; the later is depended on my teaching experience. For instance, an experienced teacher will teach students well, and many students may be attracted by her. Hence, she become famous and many students would like to teach by her. The more students she teaches, and the better salary she gets.
I get different experiences from these two part-time jobs. Even though I earn less money from teaching a class, I gain a better sense of achievement from it. Moreover, those cute and innocent children give me the passion for teaching. It may be the other type of“salary.” I know I still have to learn and improve myself so that I can do well on these two jobs.

Dormitories vs. Apartments
University students can choose to live in the university dormitory or an apartment. There are advantages and disadvantages living in these two types of housing. They are different in the aspects of expense, privacy, and levels of freedom.
Living in the dormitory costs less than living in an apartment. When renting an apartment, although each student shares the utility fee, he or she has to pay for the rent of his or her own room and thus the expenses will be higher. In addition, he or she has to cover other expenses, like the Internet access charge. In the dorm one can access the high-speed Internet access at a low price. However, there is no high-speed internet access in an apartment. Moreover, the total expense of living in an apartment is nearly double every month. For example, I pay NT2800 for the rent every month, but living in the dorm only costs NT10000 each semester, including the rent, the water bill, and the Internet fee. Therefore, living an apartment is really more expensive than living in the dormitory.
One thing that is good about living in an apartment is privacy. Students living in the dormitory don’t have personal space but those who rent an apartment do. It is inconvenient on some occasions. For example, some girls have to go to the bathroom to change clothes because they feel embarrassed to do that in front of their roommates. For me, I don’t like to change clothes in the bathroom because of the wet floor. I choose an alternative--opening the doors of closet and standing between the two doors to change clothes. However, in an apartment, each one has her room and therefore can keep personal his or her own privacy. I can change in my room without feeling embarrassed. Besides, I can write my diary at anytime, because I don’t have to worry that someone stands behind me and read what I write.
Third, students who rent an apartment enjoy more freedom than those living in the dormitory. When living in the dorm, girls have to return to the dorm by 11 or they will be given an oral warning. If they violate the regulation for more than five times, they are not allowed to live in the dormitory anymore. In contrast, people can do whatever they want when living an apartment. There is no regulation that one should obey. For instance, I can invite my friends to my place and chat all night and come back at night late without worrying about the curfew. On the other hand, I can also listen to loud music in my room and need not worry that I may bother others. In the same case, no one will bother me and make me angry when I am sleeping or studying.
To sum up, there are pros and cons in living in the dorm or in an apartment. Students can have their better choices after knowing the differences in them. Some students want to spend less so they prefer to live in the dormitory. Some people want to keep personal privacy or have more freedom so they choose to rent an apartment.
Outline
Introduction: I compare them according to my experience on the aspects of the expense, privacy, and the levels of freedom.
1 the expense; the rent, the additional fee like the Internet fee
2 the privacy; change clothes the inconvenience
3the freedom: curfew；will not be bothered or bother other people
Conclusion : Students have the better choices after knowing the differences of them.

My Birthday
I was so happy on my birthday, Jan. 6 so I went to bed late.
I wore skirts and the most precious gift, necklace.
I received many people's wishes. David made a film for me to celebrate my birthday.
I was moved because it recorded my life.
I had an exam on News English that day.
After the exam, Susan, Sophie, Floranc, and I had lunch together.
However, I did not have good appetite, I had soup.
A friend gave me DORAYAKI as gifts in the afternoon. Wow! It's yummy.
We bought a cake and had dinner in the 25night market.
Actually I planned to go around 逢甲night market and ate delicious nacks , but I didn't do that.
When I thought about the final exam, I can not have fun.
It's a pity. I had to face exams on my every special day.
I made a wish and ate the cake with my roomates.
I am twenty now.
