NB or PC

 Computers have become an indispensable assistant for everyone nowadays. People use them to search information, do projects, surf internet, and even have fun. Almost everyone needs computer, but how to choose a useful and suitable one? It’s an easy question but everyone needs to think.
 There sells a number of various computers on markets. They divide into two types, that is, PC and NB. PC means Personal Computer. It usually placed in our house or office because the size of PC is larger and more functional. NB means Notebook. People can bring it everywhere because it is smaller and more convenient. The equipment of them is very different from each other. PC can support more energy of computers so that people can use PC to play online games which are consume lots of energy, but oppositely, NB can’t do that actually. It’s sufficient for students to do their reports and even bring it to class or café. There is a difference between PC and NB. The expense of NB is cheaper than PC, but the maintenance cost is more expensive.
 In my opinion, I prefer PC because its size of screen is larger than NB. I usually see movies on computer, so I think I need a bigger one. Although I have a NB on my desk, I always use PC to work or chat with my friends. No matter what people choose, there are both pros and cons. As long as think of what you need, then you can purchase the best one.

Dream On

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
-Aerosmith
 

  It’s the lyric of a famous song which is sung by Aerosmith. It talks about pursue dreams courageously then the dream will come true. I like this song very much, and I think it can make me work hard. Everyone has a dream, and they have their rights to dream a dream. While I was a little girl, I also had a dream.

  I wanted to become a police officer when I was little. I thought that to be a police officer can protect everyone just like the superman. Mom told me, it difficult to be a police officer, but I still dreamed this dream until growing up. When I was in senior high, there was an entrance examination. I applied for Taiwan Police College, but it failed because I haven’t pass the first requirement, that is, girls must be over 160 cm. I was 158 cm at that time. I was so depressed that I was destined never to be a police. Now I am totally relieved and I make another dream. I want to be an office lady in foreign company. I still make efforts and do my best as possible as I can, but it is not an easy task for me. I have to learn English more hardly and reinforce the ability of English. It’s why I chose English department. I love English, and I hope I can use it to make my dream come true!
 
  Everyone has rights to chase their dreams and make them come true. I believe that as long as insist on it, people can make it and create more unbelievable things. Impossible is nothing. Everyone should pursue their dreams more fearless!

500 Days of Summer

 I have seen a latest movie before months ago. It called "500 Days of Summer". This is not a love story. This is a story about love. After seeing the movie, I think it isn’t really a romance film I have expected. It is different from common romance films. It has no happy ending, and the way of shooting is special.

 Tom meets Summer. They fall in love. They break up. Those things are the common process of love, but this movie use an uncommon way to express. Summer and Tom love each other is only in order to harmony with each other. They still do not understand each other's true. Tom is often thinks that he gets closer and closer in Summer‘s life, but he still don’t realize the true answer in it. Summer sounds out every coincidence boldly. She meets it and embraces it, but also chooses her own choice. While Tom helpless says to Summer: "You would never be my girlfriend, but has become someone else's wife." It just shows more helpless in the moment.

 In all fairness, "500 Days of Summer" is not amazing work, it talks about young men and women will love by fortune, but its love gets rid of the invariable Hollywood love story. I think the surprise in this movie is to close the face of life's reality and tell the men and women that love is not necessary, and the person you love may not love you. The passing of a romance is not the end of the world, perhaps the fate of a new life on the corner is waiting for you!

Eat in or Eat out


 There are more and more people like to eat in nowadays. They emphasize the dietary habit. I prefer to eat out because I think it is more convenient and comfortable to eat out at restaurants or stands. We can eat delicious and special food there, too. And there are more and more good restaurants opening. The atmosphere there is also very good so that guests will be joyful. We can eat what we want to eat or something special to eat.

 People eat out is more convenient because they can go there for dating or buisness. For example, some people go to a beautiful restaurant to have a date. They think the atmosphere there is more comfortable, and even more romantic. When the servants pass menus to us, we can just consider what we want to eat and order them. We don't have to spend time on cooking as eat in. I think it's one of advantage to eat out.

 To eat out, we can taste variety of food and try more special food. I think the food at restaurant is more delicious. Most of people enjoy there is someone providing service to us, and so do I. We can enjoy the feeling of the friendly attitude of servants, and we can also have a tasty meal at the beautiful restaurant.

 There are still some advantages to eat out. That is, we don't worry about what we want to eat and hesitate about it. We can find many convenient stores and fast food restaurants. Then we can have many choice to decide what we want to eat. For instance, we can enjoy having hamburgers at diner in the morning, and we can buy lunch box at convenient stores in the afternoon, then we can have a dinner in the restaurant with friends or family in order to relax ourselves and also have a good time with them.

 I love eat out. I enjoy having a big meal with my family, and eating at the night markets with friends. We all have a good time to eat out. Not only the delicious food, but also the atmosphere of our chat and laughters. I like to try the special food and new open restaurants and tell people which restaurants are good. Then we can discuss about those restaurants, and go there to have a meal together. I am enjoy eating out so much!

New Shoes

New Shoes -Paolo Nutini



(Lyrics)
Woke up cold one Tuesday,
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,
So I quickly opened the wardrobe,
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
That were ripped around the seams,
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me.

Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It's so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I don't need an excuse,
'cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.

Woke up late one Thursday,
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes,
And I felt like there were two days missing,
As I focused on the time,
And I made my way to the kitchen,
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found,
A room full of all off my friends dancing round and round,
And I thought hello new shoes,
Bye bye them blues.

Take me wandering through these streets,
Where bright lights and angels meet,
Stone to stone they take me on,
I'm walking to the break of dawn.
Take me wandering through these streets
