The Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire is an adaptation of the novel Q & A by Indian author. Set and filmed in India, the film told the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who tried to change his life by winning TV's 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'It was a drama which exposed the tragic effects of poverty in gigantic Indian cities like Mumbai. Jamal was a young man on India's TV program show "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" and was a question away from one million dollars when he was arrested on suspicion of cheating.
Because Jamal was from the slums of India and had no educational background, it seems entirely improbable that Jamal could make it this far, but each question was connected with distinct and sometimes painful memories for Jamal. Finally, he won not only the price but also his lover and the trust of his brother.

Every year around this time, people look back on the year that was and make promises or resolutions to improve themselves. For me, I want to get a head start on my resolutions for the coming of 2010.

Second, I want to see more DVD. The good movies are interested for me. It can increase my English listening and hope my English reading abilities. Therefore, I plan see one movies every week.

Finally, I want to visit Angkor Wat, Hokkaido and Korea these countries once I graduate from LHU university next year. I’ve never been there before.

I will achieve my New Year’s resolutions in 2010. Happy New Year.

push your limit

In my life, I love to challenged myself and push the limit. It brings me an unforgettable experience and memories. I remember around three years ago, I had a summer vacation with my friends in Thailand Pataya area. During the vacation, we had tried many kinds of water activity in the beach. For example, parasailing, banana boating, wave rider…..You can try or choose it to challenging yourself. One day, our tourist guide brings all of us to the top of tall building. The height is around 57 floors. You can see all of view from the building.
I think many people afraid to face such the attitude if they stand on the top. The challenging is jump to ground from 57 floors. Only three ways can reach ground if you want to play this game. One is by single, second is twins, Third is six people together. Finally, I choose play by myself. The coach asked us to hold the handle.
Then just go.
When I reach to ground, I feel I win the world. Because I challenging myself again.
Next time, I want challenging is jump from air plane.

Antismoking laws

Everybody knows “Smoking Cigarettes May be hazardous to Your Health” and “long –term smoking may cause lung cancer.” But why many people like smoking? In over past years, there are more and more people smoking in Taiwan. This is a very serious issue. I think how to reduced quantities of litter, healthier environments and giving smokers incentive to quit is our government’s responsibility. The government has enacted laws to limit on smoking.

First, antismoking laws are to protect people from the effects of second-hand smoking in public places and indoor (like restaurant, school…etc). Setting the smoking area/room for smoking guys, which is avoid an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, emphysema, and other diseases for no-smoking people.

Second is to increase the health tax on cigarettes. People have to spent more money to buy cigarettes. It’s very easy to reduce the purchase desire.

The final is enacting laws to improve our environments. The smoker always littered the cigarette butts at anywhere.

To summarize, antismoking laws will cause more inconvenient for smokers. Therefore I still support this policy. It will help smoker to quit smoking easily and protect our environments.

The most important decision of my life

Everybody may have different important decisions to make in their lives, and those decisions will always affect one's fate directly or indirectly.

As for me, I have also made some important decisions in my life, I remembered nine years ago, when I was still work in Taipei, my best friend asked me to make an important decision about my future. “Do you want to help me? We would like to open KTV business by ourselves in London.” He said. This idea is very interested for me.

First of all, we have to collect enough money for this plan. It was hard for us at this time. Besides, I must quit my job. I asked myself. If the KTV is success, you will have good opportunity can study language school and making money. If not, you will lose the investment. Then back Taipei to find new job. You have to make important decision for this cooperation, GO or NOT? Finally, I had an unforgettable experience in London life. And I restart my life in Taipei.

After a decision is made, no one can ever change the result, or blame others if something goes wrong. Therefore, we must have a clear mind and think thoroughly before making any decisions.

Twilight

Here is our discussion about "Twilight".The whole story focus on one word, Love.
It describes the story which is very particular and impressing people.Eedward, a vampire,can read people's mind. However, the skill does nothing to Bella who is curious about vampires.
This is why we would like to find out the spirits of hearts of the main charaters.
At first, all of us are not interesting with this kind of science fiction. Because we all think it is just a makeup story. But after we finishing reading this story, the heroine made us feel amazing and admired. We amazing about the courage of a common girl. In our opinion, every human being should choose the same kind of person to be with, but in this case, Bella, didn’t follow the traditional rules. To fall in love with a vampire, who might kill you at any time, how much courage and resolved should Bella has. She don’t care about common customs, she just do what she want to do, just follow her feeling to love a person. We admired for her frankness.
When we finished reading this novel. We don’t believe that the result is good. Due to the result is always bad in the East or West. You know In the China proverb they said “門當戶對“ We think have too many problems in the real society or novel. In our opinion the background is an important problem in our customs. In the story, Bella in order to fall in love with Edward she almost get killed many times. They need to challenge the rules. It is a complicated process in this couple. And almost all of the people against them to fall in love with each other. So our conclusion is people would easily sacrificed their valuable life, just for love.

Inglourious Basterds-Black Humor

I must admit when I saw the preview for "Inglorious Basterds" I gave myself big expectations. This film did NOT Disappoint.

Rarely when I watch a movie with such high-expectations do I have those expectations met or exceeded, this film did that and more. Even more rarely do I clap at the end of a movie, this I and everyone else in the theater did.

I have to say I am a little biased towards Quentin, I grew up with "Pulp Fiction." I watched it when I was 12 and it is still my favorite and most influential film.

However, since then Quentin has not really lived up to his billing. His style was getting a little predictable instead of familiar, the quality honestly wasn't there (I never watched Jackie Brown, and then there's Grindhouse). That is until "Inglorious Basterds." What Quentin did was exactly what was needed for the war genre, a spaghetti western feel that could only be done by Tarantino or Sergio Leone, but seeing how Leone is dead, Tarantino's the self appointed guy on this masterpiece.

So let's look at the movie which I won't give away. The writing was spot on, a beautiful transition between using not one but four different languages in this movie. Not to mention this movie was set up in the classic Tarantino mold, great scenes of rich meaningful dialog and sudden shocking action.

Vitus

I want to share this movies- Vitus to everyone. It is very helpful to parents.
If you are a genius, how you will regard this society in your life?

Vitus is a 12-year-old boy who almost seems to be from another planet--he has hearing like a bat, he plays piano like a virtuoso and studies encyclopedias. No wonder his parents begin to anticipate a brilliant future for him as a classical pianist. However, the daily pressure of hours of musical practice, his over-protective but well-meaning mother and his father's precarious financial situation lead the boy to seek refuge at his eccentric grandfather's house. Vitus and his grandfather's shared love of flying, mischief and adventure offers Vitus an opportunity at a normal childhood--something the burden of his talent had previously prevented him from. When Vitus employs a ruse pretending he's been robbed of his talent, his future as a piano virtuoso falls at risk.

facebook

One day I joined a freined's party in the afternoon.When we are meet in the restaurant at 士林. They asked me, are you play the facebook? Sorry..I was so confusing that. What are you talking about?????
They said this is new platform game from internet.They told me facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.it helps you connect and share with the people in your life. I think i am old.

After the party, I found out my question from internet.Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region. The website's name stems from the colloquial name of books given at the start of the academic year by university administrations with the intention of helping students get to know each other better.

Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with his roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University.The website's membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 250 million active users worldwide.

so, are you facebook?

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Tom is naughty, but he is also clever. He usually runs away from school and fights with other boys. One day, Aunt Polly asked him to whitewash the fence. Then Ben Rogers was coming down the street, and he was eating an apple. When Tom saw Ben, he said that whitewashing was fun to entice Ben to him whitewash. When Ben was whitewashing the fence, he ate Ben's apple. So I think he was very clever.
One night, Tom and Huck went to a graveyard. They saw three men went to House William's grave with a small cart. They are Muff Potter, Red Joe and Doctor Robinson. They put the dead body from the coffin onto their cart and covered it. After that, they started to fight, and the doctor was killed by Red Joe. Then Tom and Huck ran back to the village quickly and they were very frightened. They rushed inside an old barn. Then, Tom went home.
One day, Tom, Huck and Joe went to a little island which called Jackson's Island. On the first day, they were very happy, but afterwards, they started to have homesick. They all wanted to go home, but nobody say it. After the storm, their family and the villagers all believed they had died, so the villagers began their funeral service. When it began, they entered the church. After that, Aunt Polly and their relatives were very happy again.
After this teaching, he began to be a good boy. One day, Tom and Hack went to dig for treasure. At last, they found out Red Joe's Treasure and then they went to dig it up. After that, they became very rich and happy because he had saved Becky in the cave and found Red Joe.
Everybody loved him. And he felt his life was very happy.

Confucianism

I think there are three reasons why Confucianism has an enduring influence in China.
First of all, Chinese rulers had adopted his philosophy in ancient times not just in politics, but also in education and social. Second, it was a compulsory subject to be studied in school in ancient times. In fact, the Chinese started learning the Confucian classics since young and imperial examination is largely focus on the subject of the Confucian classics. Third, Confucianism proved to be effective in making a dynasty longer-lasting, instead of say legalism. For this reason, many dynasties follow what previous dynasties had done, and continue to adopt it as a philosophy.
It's why Confucianism has an enduring influence in China.

Money problems

I think there are some reasons to cause some people continually have money problems. First of all, many people like to use the credit cards to buy something. They think this way is very convenient and easy to pay it. Just bring a card, don’t pay extra money. Important thing is they haven't calculated how many debts they have after buying. They never think about if they can't afford it. It’s why some people have continually money problem. Credit card brings some advantages for people. But also bring a bad habit to all of people. It depends on you how to use it. If they themselves unexpectedly in need of money, they can use credit cards to pay for Goods and services or even to get cash advances from certain banks. Many people use credit cards this way so that they can afford to purchase items that will be paid for over a period of time. The bank company sends a monthly statement to the customer and requires that the total amount should be paid immediately.
But if you can't pay all, the bank company charges interest on the customers'unpaid balances. I think people have to learning how to control the credit card. They would not have money problems continually.

The Pig's Knuckle Noodle is one of folk custom foods in Taiwan.

But do you know why you have to eat the pig's Knuckle when you eat "Pig- Knuckle Noodle"? Do you know the reasons? Let me tell you. That's because eating the pig's Knuckle means "kicking" all bad things away.

It can be eaten in many places, such as street vendors, night markets.Next time, when bad things come around, try some of them. It may work!

Afraid of the Dark

I saw a joke about from internet website.

A little boy was afraid of the dark. One night his mother told him to go out to the back porch and bring her the broom.

The little boy turned ot the mother and said “Mama, I don’t want to go out there. It’s dark.”

The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. “you don’t have to to be afraid of the dark.” She explained “Jesus is out there. He’ll look after you and protect you.”

The little boy went to the back door and cracked it a little. Peering out into the darkness, he called. “Jesus? If you’re out there. Woutl you pleease hand me the broom?”

Different Boys

A husband and wife had four boys. The older three had red hair, light skin, and were tall, while the youngest son had black hair, dark eyes, and was short.

The father eventually took ill and was lying on his deathbed when he turned to his wife and said. “Honey, before I die, be totally honest with me, is our youngest son my child?”

The wife replied, “I swear on everything that’s holy that he is your son.”

With that the husband passed away. The wife then muttered, “Thank God, he didn’t ask about the other three.”

Starbucks

If people mention the coffee, What will you think of? 85℃? starbucks? or other....I can sure all of people will say- Starbucks.

Starbucks ...It is a global coffee brand built upon a reputation for fine products and services. It has almost 9000 cafes in almost 40 countries.

but do you know where was it born? Since its conception in Pike Place Market, Seattle in 1971, Starbucks' success has lead to the market entry of many competitors and copy cat brands that pose potential threats. this is first one store in the world. They had used the original logo from 1971. You can found the different logo from the picture.
starbucks mission is : To inspire and nurture the human spirit— one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time.

A beach man, who is my dream when i was a chlid.The truth is that I really like to see the beach. It’s a vast ocean gives me that feeling of being free and then I can have a good mood.

The different shopping habits of men and women

There are many different ways for shipping habits between men and women. Most of men have such as experience of shopping with his girlfriend or wife. If they are asking for shopping with them, the men answer always is “NO”. It is a nightmare for men. I think the heaven and hell could describe the shopping for men and women. Men doesn’t want to spend a half day/ all day in shopping. For example: They usually make a plan (to search the location, price.) before shopping, and know why to buy, where to buy. Almost spend the short time to get they need. In contrast, all the women always think that they still need another dress in their wardrobe. Even they already get goods. They still think what they need more and more. Sometime they are like to enjoy the shopping process and fighting with seller for special discount. On the other hand, women likes to shopping clothes, cosmetics, shoes. Men likes to shopping the 3C product, watch. In conclusion, men and women have different shipping habits. But I can sure that one thing the same, the pay is by men.

F1

what is F1?Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or F1, and currently officially referred to as the FIA Formula One World Champions.Everybody knows Mr.Michael Schumacherhe is great driver in the F1 sport. He holds many records in Formula One.I think he likes a famous person of the golf -tiger..also, likes the god of basketball- Micheal Jordan.

I like Jenson Button who is a young driver in F1. he was in the Honda Racing F1 Team last year. but this team already quited now. so he joined the new team - Brawn GP.

Last weekend Jenson Button won the Spanish Grand Prix, his fourth victory in this season's five races, to stretch his lead atop the Formula One drivers' championship to 14 points.The 29-year-old Briton, with only one victory before this year, dominated the race with his Brawn GP teammate Rubens Barrichello, who came second at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya. Mark Webber of Red Bull was third.

My private space at home is the bedroom. It is very large for me, but i don't know why it’s always in disorder. Let me describe it for you.
When you are in the room, you will see the wardrobe on the right. My clothes are put there. Next to it is a big French window. You can see outside and enjoy the sunlight. it is very nice view in the location. the department is in 5 floor. The carpet and table are in the center. This is a space where I work. I also watch TV or play games there. In front of the carpet is a big double bed. It is a place where lets me relax when I am tired from work.
My room let me feel comfortable and safety. Because of it, I always have a good dream every day.I hope you have a sweet bedroom too.

How to find a marriage partner

Some people are looking for a marriage partner forever.
In my opinion, although I am eager to have the feeling in love so much, one thing can be sure that is a good lover doesn’t equal a good marriage partner. So how to find a good marriage partner is very important. It will turn your life into black or colors in the future.

Regarding the experience from other people, I think the first is you have to know his/her personality, habits, background, and values. Next is find out the hobbies of each other. Then it is important to have a good communication. Third is to admire the merits of each other.
I hope the suggestions could help the people who need it. Finally, I wish everyone could find the Mr./Mrs. Right.

The first step is put 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla into a quart –size sealable plastic bag. Then close the quart-size bag and seal it tightly. The second step is put 2cups of ice and 1/2 to 3/4 cup of salt into a gallon-size sealable plastic bag. Next, seal the gallon bag securely. The third step is place sealed quart bag inside the gallon bag of ice and salt. After that, gently rock the gallon bag from side to side for ten to fifteen minutes or until the contents of the quart bag have turned into ice cream.
Finally, open the bags, grab a spoon, and enjoy your ice cream.

what kinds of food do you like?

I like Japanese food the most. The amount of oil used in Japanese food are reduced, hence we could still maintain a healthy diet even if we take it daily, without fear of consuming too much fats while eating our favorite food. One well-known Japanese food is sushi. The ingredients used are sometimes raw. As a result, while eating sushi, we get to try raw food, hence we have new experiences. There are a variety of Japanese food, and they are mostly non-oily. Thus, Japanese food is my favorite, as while trying the variety of foods, I need not to fear that I would not maintain a healthy diet.

April 12

April 12, 2009.
Today is an especial day for Ms. Angela. It’s her birthday.
Last week, we have discussed this thing that how to celebrate it. We planned to have a party for her in Cash Box. Also, she has invited several of our classmates to the birthday party.

After school, we ware go to the KTV in Pan-Chiao. There are almost 13 people to join this birthday party. Sometime we are very difficult to chat with my classmates each other, because the class time is tight. It's also the first time that we are eating something, drinking beer, singing the song together. I think it is very special experience for every classmate, Angela especially.

Finally, Happy Birthday to Angela ………….also, I was drunk.

play golf

Today I went to play golf with my friend after school.We are went to the 忠孝 driving range in Wu Ku. it's a long time not to play golf. but i still have a good skill.I can't believe that.

I remember taht my first time to touch the golf about three years ago. I joined the golf club of company. The reason is one successful person, you have to learn play golf. It can let your relationship closed and become better with customers or boss. This is a good activities for social communication.

However golf is very interesting for me. Also,it is a good outdoor soprt. You can enjoy the sunshine and air fresh in outdoor.I usually heard from everydbody taht the golf is rich's sport. but I don't think so that. it can popular for everyone. if you like, don't be hesitate to do. jsut do it yourself.

New Yankee Stadium opens with a Wang win

Our Taiwan's STAR Wang Chien-ming opened the new US$1.5 billion Yankee Stadium with an exhibition win over the Chicago Cubs Friday night.

Today is very imporant day for Yankee baseball team. Their new Stadium has been opened on this Saturday.The Yankees are playing two exhibition games this weekend against the Cubs to get acclimated to the new ballpark.

Wang's first pitch — "a trademark sinker" — was a strike, drawing thunderous applause from the crowd as light bulbs flashed around the park to record the historical moment.

It's a new stadium, and I wanted to throw the first strike,” said Wang. “When I went out to the mound, I didn't have any special feeling and I wasn't nervous. I just wanted to focus.”

He said the new stadium was similar to the old one and that he has already figured out what he needs to know.

In the Yankees' first game at their new stadium, Robinson Cano and Hideki Matsui hit two-run homers, and Cody Ransom hit a three-run shot to lead New York to a 7-4 win over the Chicago Cubs.

The different breakfast between Taiwan and the US

I think there are at least three different ways for breakfast between Taiwan and the US. One difference is the food temperature(Hot /cold). Most people in Taiwan like to eat hot food in morning time. They think hot food would be good for their health. In contrast, most Americans prefer to eat cold food for their breakfast, such as sandwiches, orange juice or cereals with cold milk. They might think cold food would be fresh. A second area of difference is place. Most Taiwanese usually eat breakfast in schools or offices in the morning because they don’t have so much time to eat at home. On the other hand, most Americans have breakfast at home because they don’t have so much time to look for breakfast store for them to eat. Finally, the difference is the variety of breakfast. In Taiwan, you can find any kinds of breakfast, like Chinese food, Japanese food, American food, and Taiwanese food. However, in the US, most people choose to eat cereals with milk, sandwiches with orange juice, even the popcorn. In conclusion, there are many breakfast differences between Taiwan and the United States.

Telemarketing Fraud

Telemarketing fraud is make phone calls after they getting the information from somewhere, they will call you some other day.If you buy something from the TV program and paid it in installment. They may tell you that “your payment method is setting wrong, you need to reset it again. They will ask you go to ATM to operate. Many worried customers follow the ways to do it. I think that the old lonely people are usually the victims of this type of fraud.I think when a stranger gives you a ring and says something wrong, you must hang up the phone then call back to TV program to check this thing. Don’t call back the phone number from stranger. After check this thing is fraud or not. If it is fraud work, please call the police. We need to let the police know the newest method of telemarketing fraud used.

Ichiro lifts Japan to Classic glory

Yesterday I was half day off in morning at home.Because there is an important WBC baseball game"Japan VS Korea". who is champion ? they are fifth meeting between the two countries in this tournament.

The news from LOS ANGELES —

That was as much intensity as you've seen in a baseball game in a long time," Commissioner Bud Selig said after the four-hour spectacular ended with Japan besting rival Korea, 5-3, in 10 innings. "It was incredible. It was really amazing."
And so the Japanese are the champions once again, successfully defending their 2006 title.
This time they can thank old faithful Ichiro Suzuki for the victory. The 35-year-old Mariners right fielder snapped a 3-3 tie with a two-run single on an eight-pitch at-bat against right-handed reliever Chang Yong Lim with runners on second and third and two outs in the 10th.

My presentation : "How to quit smoking"

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Let me introduce myself first,I am Luke Chen from LHU university.Thank you for your coming today. Let me have this chance to share something to you.Today my major topic is” How to quit smoking”. My presentation will take about 2 minutes.Also,there will be time for questions after my presentation.
Everybody knows “Smoking Cigarettes May be Hazardous to Your Health” and “long –term smoking may result in lung cancer.”But why many people like smoking? Is it cool or fashion? Who knows…
Actually,if you ask me how to quit smoking, I really can’t tell you how to do it. Because I am a smoking guy, it’s very difficult to bring good solutions for you. But I hope my suggestions could help the people who need it.I will divide my Topic into three parts.
1. Willpower
2. Habits
3. Doctor
Thank you for your listening.

Finally, don't forgot: an apple a day, keep the doctor away.

How to be a gentleman

First of all, I will tell all of you how to be a gentleman.
For example, when we are in the restaurant, the men should pull the chairs for women, and the men could be seated after they have already sat. Except that, we should open the door for women when getting in or off the cars. You see, it’s easy to be a gentleman.
By the way, are all of you interested in other etiquettes? Take “tips” for example, you should give some tips to the person who calls the cabs or takes the luggage for us.
And you have to put the money under the pillows or the head of a bed for the hotel staff when you check out.
So next time, don’t forget to do the things I mentioned and you will be always welcomed. Thanks for listening.

compare

I think to be a Human Resources officer for a car manufacturer is a routine but stable job.
The advantages of being a Human Resources officer for a car manufacturer are you will be good at dealing with a clerical job and can meet a lot of new employees. The disadvantages of being a Human Resources officer for a car manufacturer are you have lots of papers to cope with. Besides, you need to set agendas for the manager. It takes much time to do that.
In my opinion, to be a fashion buyer for a chain store must be a tiring but interesting job.
To be a fashion buyer should have a good taste in clothes, and a high sensitivity in fashion or the clothing you chose will be out-of-fashion. Besides, you must learn how to distinguish all the materials.
The advantages of being a fashion buyer are you have a lot of opportunities to go abroad to see fashion shows. Moreover, coupons, discounts, and giveaways will be given as a gift to you by the manufacturers. But the disadvantages are your working time will differ from those typical nine to five jobs. Maybe you need to work till midnight or wake up very early to prepare the clothes for the show. Lack of sleeping is detrimental to one’s health. Additionally, the fashion magazines or books should be bought in order to upgrade your professional knowledge all the time. They cost a lot.
All in all, if you like your job, “tiring” won’t be a problem. You’ll enjoy it. If you love your job, you will learn a lot from it and being a happy work.
If you enjoy an indoor and stable job, to be a Human Resources officer for a car manufacturer is a good choice. Otherwise, to be a fashion buyer for a chain store is another great option.

commerce-reading

After reading the two parts, I assumed they are very important in every company for inside and outside. They own the special skills and great performance in their jobs.
For the Montse’s job, she works in Human Resources officer. She wants to do the training and developing in company. And how to arrange the right people in right candidates is also her duty. But it is very difficult for her to learn different things from outside.
For the Kenichiro’s job, he works in Purchasing department. He needs to faces different buyers every day and learns some experiences from them. He always touches fresh things for the future.

The advertiser

The advertiser is using the emotional appeal of innovation.Many people are uses the Metro card to take the MRT or bus…the advertiser uses the cell phone with this function. They replace the Metro card by cell phone. So the advertiser shows this appeal of convenience to touch their hearts.The student and salaried workers should be the target market. They have to use the Metro card to take the MRT or bus every day. They often forget the card. But the cell phone has this function with Metro card now. It is very conveniently form them.I think whether the ad is affective or not, it is very easy to used and conveniently. And you don’t pay extra money to much. Just keep the cell phone in your hands.

Buying Your First Home in America

Buying a home in America just likes buying a home in Taiwan. First, you have to know how mush money do you have and how much mortgage can you afford.
Second, you have to know the costs of buying a home and ongoing costs. It includes loan origination fees, prepaid interest, application fees, appraisal fee, survey, title search and insurance, recording fees and attorney's fees and so on.
Third, you have to choose a nice neighborhood. Good neighbors make your lifestyle better. You want to find a good schools and low crime rates, low taxes, good transportation, and nice town services.
Then, you have to find a good broker you can trust. We usually find a Taiwanese American who really knows what you need and what you want.
In a word, my suggestion is if you really want to buy a home in America. You should go to the city, for example, Los Angeles, stay a month or longer to know what I’ve talked about.
Finally, I hope everyone can buy their dreamy home in America. Thank you!

Teacher asked everyone to have a book review in winter vacation. You need to write down the summary and your comments. Also, Take a picture with the book. So, I chose a book about the children and Mother. the name is Ramona and Her Mother. After reading this book, I have my comments shown as below:

This book is mostly about Ramona spending time with her mom. It is important because it shows a relationship between a mother and a daughter. In my opinion the book is real interesting specially the way Ramona acts at the begging and at the and. Finally, she got what she wanted.All she wants is her Mother's attention and recognition as she struggles for a place in her mother's heart, as she has begun to worry that she might be unlovable.I like the part when she was mad at her mom and her sister for doing something to her, so she went to the bathroom and squirted toothpaste everywhere.

It is very interesting and cool if you read this book you will love it

Snow in Berlin

My customer told me that last night they got -6°C and 15 cm snow in Berlin area. The Berlin is the capital of Germany.
They got some problems in the morning. The main problem was a mix from ice and snow on the cars. they can not open the car doors. he must to used cold water to open it. And than it was off road time.
He said my Audi has 130 horse power and Dagmars Audi A3 has 115 horse power. Really it makes fun to drive an Audi in snow. We don't have much traffic in our little village so it is not dangerous. All the main street in the cities and the roads outside are clean.

Sometime they had more as - 15°C in the winter. The ice on my little pool is more than 40 cm!!!. There are some fishes are inside. I hope they are alive.
Really so is wintertime in Germany. It is an area for hard men.

last time he told me that he killed a big deer. because he had a traffic accident in midnight.

He is a funny guy....

My job

I am a sales man. I arrive at the office at nine o'clock every day. first of all, I have a nice coffee with my breakfast in th emorning. Good coffee can let me keep wake all day.Then I go to my desk to open my NB and check my email. also, I browsed through some news frm website. These mail come in overnight because all of customers are in Europe area. So, I have to check the issues form my customers and find out the answer for their request.

In the afternoon I make phone calls with my customers about some business issues. Also, I need to search new products from other competitors and reply the new inquiry from customers. Sometime I have meeting with other departments to discuss some new projects. after home, I always work to midnight every day. I spend almost time in my job.

A Person who has made a difference: My Boss

He taught me something about the concept and sales skills when I was a fresh sales man. He is a Top sales man in our company and also my friend. Every time, when I face some serious complains about the products quality issue from customers. I feel so frustrated and want to give up my dream. He always encouraged me and asked me to think in positive way. He said” to be a successful sales man, there is no excuse”. I gave him a nickname as superman because he works 24 hours almost every day. He almost keeps awake all the time and replies to customers immediately while he is sleeping. All customers said “He is CRAZY”.

I remember when we attended a conference in USA. He told me that the customer is the biggest one in USA baby product channel. He has spent more than five years on it. Finally, he obtained the projects from this customer. He told me: “just image and treat your customer like your girlfriend”. How do you want to do to her?

Now he has many girlfriends in many countries. Since he flies everywhere and extends his business territory.

Food culture

The Taiwanese food culture is based on Fujian style. It is developing from China Fujian and Gangdongs’ cultures. These years, Taiwanese food also has mixed and combined with many features of other places cuisine. It has become to our own as “Taiwanese style”. In my opinion of view, the cuisine represents Taiwan food culture should be braised pork rice and beef noodles.

For Taiwanese, “food” is not only a life style, but also a cultural expression. Because of the background of our history, the food culture has become more diverse. The following cuisine which will be mentioned later plays an important role in Taiwan society.

A special eating habit can be seen almost everywhere in Taiwan and what comes into Taiwanese’ mind when people should be provided some nourish? That’s “dietary supplementation.” “Health supplements” have taken over in Taiwan cuisine. For example,

人蔘雞 Lan Sun Chicken
四物雞 Four items Chicken
蔴油雞 Sesame Oil Chicken
燒酒雞 Rice Wine Chicken
藥燉排骨 Stew Ribs with Herbs
冬蟲夏草湯 Cordyceps Soup

Foreign travel

There are three kinds of foreign travel.Your holidays can be enjoyed by traveling.

The first travel type is the package tours.They buy a package holidays from travel agencies.The fees of this kind travel is very cheap,because the marketing shares.The price includes the cost of travel,hotels,food,transportations etc...The agencies will arrange everything about traveling plans for you.All you have to do is just follow the tour guides to visit the tourist resorts.
The second travel type is city breaks.The travel fees will be expensive.The agencies will make reservations of the flights and hotels for travelers.Travelers don’t worry about them. But they need to spend some time preparing travel schedules for visit.
The advantage of taking this kind of travel is they can stay some places for a longer time.

The last travel type is backpackers.They can control all the fees by themselves.And more time to visit some places which they like.But they must spend more time on their travel plans.And the travelers should be good in English or it will be difficult to communicate with local people.The type is a depth travel.

In conclusion,you must decide the travel matters first,then choose that best suits you.
