If people want to define “beauty,” they will immediately come up with concepts like slenderness, the tallness, delicate face, etc. Which a fashion model has. However, are those girls who have all the elements really beautiful? I think the answer is negative. To me, a true beauty must be a confident woman.
Beauty is not only skin-deep. A real beauty may not have the figure that fits designers’ clothes, and may not have white complexion as Snow White does, either. It doesn’t matter which race she belongs to, and whether she is tall or not. Moreover, she doesn’t have to look like Audrey Hepburn or Chiling Lin. In fact, underneath the appearance, there is only a factor that makes a girl beautiful－confidence. A person who is confident will never despise herself. In that way, she will stand upright, express herself clearly, and meanwhile show her advantages gracefully. Accordingly, every movement of her will attract people’s attention. On the contrary, if a person doesn’t have confidence, even if she looks gorgeous, she can’t be considered a beauty.
Take the super model Chiling Lin as an example. She is undeniable a beauty. However, in my point of view, what makes her beauty complete is her confidence. She is not shy to show her features, and she always looks elegant and never hesitates. Therefore, with her confidence, she is brave to experience more things. In addition, I had an English teacher when I was in high school, who is chubby but is generally considered beautiful. When I saw her at the first sight, I even thought she was fat. Nevertheless, when I knew her more and talked more with her, I changed my mind immediately. She was articulate and also elegant. Even if she was overweight, she loved herself. I really appreciated her a lot because through her firm sight, I could strongly feel that she never felt inferior to others. That moment was the first time I realized what a true beauty was.
By contrast, I once had a classmate who is white and tall. She had a gorgeous face but a passive personality. She is too shy to show her features. Thus, though she is a pretty girl, few people will really appreciate her. There was something missing in her. I think, it was her lack of confidence that made her ordinary and you will not pay any attention to her.
Beauties are always welcomed. But many people’s concept of beauty is often distorted. Who says a beauty must have big eyes and a fit figure? Who says a heavy girl can’t be considered a beauty? In my point of view, every girl who is confident can be a beauty, no matter she is tall or short, heavy or thin.

Cancel Tests? You Will Regret!
Every student has the experience of having tests. Generally speaking, a student has two to three tests of each subject every semester. A student will have up to about thirty tests in a year. It’s undeniable that students don’t like tests. Then why do we still have tests in school? Is it necessary to keep the test system? Although the idea that canceling tests is inviting to many students, we should still keep the test system because without tests, students will lose their motive to study, and through tests we can see students’ learning outcome and achievement. Moreover, the pressure of test-taking can also promote students to learn better.
Some people claim that students’ hard work for getting good grades in tests makes them become test machines. They say that under the test system, students only care how to get good grades but don’t know how to apply the knowledge they learn to their lives. Therefore, many bookworms are very fond of studying textbooks but don’t know how to deal with their problems in real life. Moreover, since those bookworms only want to get good grades in tests, they memorize knowledge without understanding it. However, a good test in fact gives a way to us to see the students’ abilities, and also to show their learning problems. We can’t judge a student just by his grades but tests do provide a referable standard to know his ability. Besides, if there are no tests, students won’t study and not to mention apply knowledge to lives. A good student who really understands the true fact of knowledge and really hopes to be a wisdom person will know how to apply it to life. The test is just a tool that forces students to study, not an elixir of education.
There are still some people against tests because they believe that the strong stress put on students by tests is too heavy to them and may influence their developments. The heavy pressure also makes tests become students’ nightmares and therefore students will try hard to escape from tests sometimes in drastic ways such as committing suicide. Nevertheless, according to some research, the truth is that under certain pressure human can absorb more knowledge and learn better than usual. In addition, the knowledge human seizes under a circumstance without any stress is easier to be forgotten. Pressure is so important to learning and since tests can offer it, they’re supposed to be remained.
Despite the fact that there are many people advocate getting rid of tests and practicing “happy learning,” tests should never be absent in the education system. If the government really does cancel tests, at the beginning students will feel happy but in the end they will all fail. Tests’ importance can’t be underestimated and we really should keep it.

Over
Ayumi Hamasaki(濱崎步) has a song named "over." Now I really want to sing this song out loud because though the final exams are not all passed, I have been through the most terrible ones. This week is really a busy week! I have almost 5 exams during the week and I can imagine this weekend will be also very busy, too because I have three more exams left in the next week.
What I want to say is that the English Literature exam and Linguistics exam were hard!!!! I hope I can get a good grade!
Somehow I can't pronounce the word "three" beautifully. I always have the problem to say the word or maybe I am just afraid of saying the word. Maybe my pronunciation is fine but I just feel uncomfortable to say the word. The worst thing is that I have pronunciation test this week. And the word with "th" sound is absolutely part of the exam. ah~ God bless me!
Recently I found the Facebook is interesting! I visit the website at least once a day. A little bit addict to it I think.XD I invited a lot of my friends to join the website. On the website, people can play the game, create their own pet, chat with friends, and even manager a virtual restaurant. Maybe you can join it, too!

Celebrate this moment~
Today is Friday again, a day that I don't have any class in the afternoon. The most memorable thing is that I finally got all the stamps I need of Foreign Language Access Center. It was really an exhausting work.
Tomorrow I have a GEPT test. It's not a good time because next week I have a lot of midterm exams. Moreover, GEPT test is always so crowded, I really don't like the crowded place. I hope I can pass this test this time because I had took the test for two times! It cost me a lot of money.
Tomorrow is also one of my friends' birthday. We originally planned to go to a nice restaurant but I think it is likely to be canceled because we both don't have enough time to study. Maybe we will celebrate his birthday in summer vacation. The day after tomorrow is Eva's birthday, she is one of my roommates. Therefore, of course I will give her a birthday gift. I already decide to buy a pair of earrings for her. And another roommate will share the money with me. I hope Eva will like the present we chose. And hope those who have already become twenty years old have a good time during this year and not drop anything like in their nineteen year old. Hope I am the same!

Dog!
This weekend we have four days off. It's Dragon-boat festival. I didn't go back to Kaohsiung, therefore I didn't have the Rice Dumpling to eat. However, my student's grandmother gave me four Rice Dumpling. They were really tasty!! Oh having a tutoring job is so nice.
In the holidays I went to Chung-yo department store to have some shopping. I bought a cute black shirt. After shopping, I went to have a big meal with my friend. I planned to see a friend's dog named Chuck, but when I called him, he said Chuck was not home, it was taken to his grandmother's house. Then I felt a little bit frustrated. I had already planned to see it twice. The baby dog have become an adult dog, and I haven't seen it! SO SAD!!
Today is the last day of the holidays, and what's worst is that I didn't do anything in these four days. Now I really agree with the proverb" You have no idea how time flies." I have to work hard to check up my schedule now!

Bad Phenomenon
This semester I didn't write my blog often, even if it's a homework. I think it is a bad phenomenon! Therefore from now on, I hope I can write my blog in time.
Last Tuesday, we watched a movie on my oral training class. Also our sweet teacher had some pizza for us. That means she paid the money for us. She said it's her habit to give us a meal when a semester is over. I felt happy and also grateful to her. She is really a good teacher. I don't have pressure in her class, but I still can learn a lot. I wish I can take her class again. It is said that freshman won't have her class next semester, oh I just feel sorry for them. It's so pity.
The course about e-database is interesting. The teacher is so professional, and I never think of that searching information can be so complicated, useful and convenient. I think the program will be very useful when I am writing my term paper. The topic of my term paper with Janer is about ghost. We are going to find that whether the ghost exist or not! I think the question is very controversial and paradox. Hope we can have a good answer!

I wish I can have a pet.
One of my friends, having B, recently keeps a dog as his pet. I haven't seen it since I never went to his home to visit it. But I have seen the dog's picture, and it is really cute. I have long for a dog for very very long since I was a little girl. I didn't like cats until I enter the college that one of my friends told me the cuteness of cats. I think the reason why I want to have a pet is that I want to have someone as my company. And maybe it is also others' reason for having a pet.
However, having a pet is not an easy work. I have to take the responsibility to feed it, to wash it, to walk it, and to keep my home clean. Also, if I have a dog, maybe I have to endure the noise "bark, bark." Moreover, I have to spend my salary on it instead of buying my clothes, cosmetics, and delicious food. Due to thos reasons, though I still like dog very much, I decide not to keep a dogafter thinking. Whenever I want to have someone as my company, I think human is also a good choice.

New Style
Since I have become a 20-year-old person, this week I had my ears pierced. In fact, it is a little bit scaring, because imagine a needle piercing into my ears is not a easy thing. But I have long to wear earrings for so long, and I know I have to conquer the hardest beginning. Therefore, I encourged myself and walk into the store. I want to say thank you to Janer because it was she that pierced my ears. She is very professional and well prepared. So, even though I was still nervous, I know I can trust her profession.
Now my ears are good and recovering, and I hope they can recover very well. Some of my friends gave me earrings as my birthday presents. I think soon I can wear them.
The next change is that I had my hair dyed. It is a big breakthrough. I never consider to dye my hair. Anyway, I feel I am a new guy now. I hope this change is a good one. And I hope I can be more beautiful. XD

Miserable week
I had a bad time during last week. The most terrible thing was that I lost my cell phone! It's really a sad thing!! My cell phone was very new, beautiful and also expensive. I just used it for only one year. I really like it so I protect it and preserve it very carefully. The terrible lose impact on me. I can't accept the truth that I lost it all of sudden. The life without cell phone is very inconvenient. Whenever I want to contact with my friends, I will check up my beg first, and then realize that I didn't have cell phone. It was frustrating. Now I have to spend out all my salary to buy a new cell phone instead of buying the beautiful clothes and high heels. But this time I will choose a cheap cell phone.
I also made my quiz last week. I think it is a fun game. Go to try it and test if you know me enough.
One of my high school classmates went to Taichung to see me last week. And after I rided motorcycle for two days, I realize one thing-if you ride a motorcycle for too long, your tailbone will become numbing! I hope I won't have a bigger bottom after this week.

Mid-term
Last week was mid-term exam week. I had eight tests during the week, of course including composition test. If I analyse my performance on the tests, I think the worse test I had is Teaching Chinese as Second Language. In fact, I even didn't finish the test. It's really horrible because I didn't have enough time to finish it. It made me a little bit frustrated. Anyway, all them had already passed away. Just prepare more when the final exams are coming.
Next weekend is mother's day, so I planed to go back to Kaohsiung. But thething that is more exciting than that is my high school's good friend will come to Taichung to see me this week, and, with my birthday gift!! I feel happy and expect her coming. It will be a haappy weekend I think.

Insomnia
Insomnia is kind of nightmare for me. I need sleepiness so much that I usually say I am made by sleepiness. I can eat nothing a day but I can't live without sleeping.
I got insomnia suddenly for unknowing reason this Monday. It's really a tragedy because I had eight classes at Tuesday and moreover I had to work at Tuesday night. Looking at my roommate who was sleeping next to me, I somehow felt kind of envy. In the past, I can fall a sleep almost at the same time when I lie on the bed. However, that day I just can't fall a sleep. I did feel tired, and I did want to sleep, but the terrible and evil mosquitoes just didn't let me sleep. I thought their long for blood might be stronger than mine for sleeping. Anyway, in the end I finally fell into sleep, but then was about 2 o'clock. Then I was woke up by mosquito again at about 6 o'clock. The worst of all, even if I killed the mosquito, I still felt that I heard the noisy of evil mosquitoes and that made me can't sleep anymore The point that I hate mosquitoes is that I can never know when will it bite me and so that I will always in tension. The atmosphere made me nervous as if there was someone standing outside my door with ox in his hands and always ready to rush into my room and chop me. Finally I woke up at 7 o'clock and started to get ready for school. I felt tired all day and even now I still feel tired.

Shopping!
It's a exciting thing to get my tutoring job's salary. Though this little fortune can't make me be a rich woman, it still can satisfies my desire of shopping.
Therefore I went to shopping today. Going shopping is always a happy but tiring thing. In addition, after shopping, looking at those "harvest" I bought is always a sad thing that makes me feel guilty for spent so much money and that I have to worry about the shortage of money next week. And this is what I feel now.
In fact, I bought jeans, shoe and a new album of my favorite singer. To buy those things cost me about 5 hours!! (Because I often hesitate when it's time to decide wheather I should buy it or not.) I thought my friend who went shopping with me is really a person with a lot of patience. haha
It's spring vacation now. So to spend some time and money to have fun is not a guilty thing, right?

Rain
It rained terribly today. The wether was also cold. Janer said she can't live without snnshine. I think it's true, for the happy girl like her really has to be supported by sun. I felt tired today because I had the first class and after school I still have to do the tutoring job. There's also a nice thing, I have two demovracy class off. The teacher went abroad.
Is busy life equal to substantial life? Sometimes I felt upset when time passed and I didn't do anything. In that cases I would like to do something meaningful. So, I will put a lot of things into my schedual list. Then I will be very tired and expect the weekend everyday. After those tiring jobs I will start to relax and again do nothing and just let time pass. After those vicious circles, I fianlly start to ponder what the ideal life style is. In the past, I meant in my high school years, though I was tired everyday and had a lot of tests and under a great pressure, I still felt satisfied everyday. I won't think of escaping from the class because in the school I really felt very happy.
It is the bad weather that made me full of pessimistic thought. I think I will never be able to live in Northern Europe.

Trip trip!
Today is a great day because I only have two classes. Further more, I had a free lunch paid by cram school. hahaha
Tonight I want to go shopping with my friends. I have to prepare many presents for my friends. It's really bad that many people's birthday are around the cornor. That means I will lose my money quickly. Oh~my account will be empty!
A few days ago, Janer discuss a trip with me. She said we can go to Hong Kong this summer vacation together, and live in A-Q's home. It will only take me about NT6000. Since I have the tutoring job now and I can earn about NT5500 a month, I really feel this sugggest is great. The only thing I have to do is to convince my parents. Somehow I feel this will not be an easy task.
The food store "mos burger" finally opend at the day before yesterday. It's an excited thing because I am a fan of "mos burger." The food they sell is really delicious. However, it's very pity that the food is too expensive to me. I think if I eat the food every day, my trip to Hong Kong will disappear immediately. Now the most important thing is to save the money!!

Find a tutoring job
I finally find a tutoring job. Therefore I feel a little bit nervous these days. I am afraid that I have totally forgot the knowledege I learned in junior high. To avoid saying something stupid, I went to the book store to look up the material I want to teach. Though the grammar and the vocabulary are all easy, somehow I just feel kind of confused about how to teach. haha~ Now I admit my junior high school teacher is admirable.
This week I have a lot of homework to do, including writting the blog and the draft, working on the homework of Introduction of Teaching Chinese as a Second Language, and also I have to preparing the document about applying for the TCSL program. However, the worst part is I have to go back to Kaohsiung this weekend, and that means I have to finish all the homework before weekend. Now I am doing the first part-writting blog. And later I will write the draft. Hoping I can finish them as soon as possible.

Finding myself
I didn't have a good time this week, though today is only Tuesday. I am very poor because this new semester I have to buy some new books and also I spent a lot of money to find a part-time job. I didn't find a job yet. Sometimes so many things make me feel upset. And that is what I feel now.
I promised myself not to cry so frequently anymore though I know that is very diffcult. However I know it's time to learn to be mature. It's just like lost in a puzzle and, instead of crying and crying, I have to grow up and find the road out by myself. No body will rescue me.
I find my English is becoming worse. I can't express myself clearly. Does it mean that my English is becoming worse or that my thinking is becoming more complicated?

New Semester!
It's a new semester again, and it's really nice and excited to see all my friends and classmates! Every day we will chat and laugh out loud again!!
Yesterday is the first day of this semester. Though it almost killed me to wake up so early, I still felt very good to meet my old friends. Many people change their hair styles or something, and that make them quite different. Every time when the vacations end, people will more or less has something changed. And sometimes I even expect their changes. Anyway, to see those familiar faces again is really a good thing.
The first day I went back to Taichung, I cleaned up my room. To see my room very tidy makes me happy. Then the following day I went to the interview of the education exhibition. I hope I can get the translation job to have another experiences.
I think this semester I gonna change something of my life a llittle bit. Something like the style or the thinking of life. Hoping I can become a more mature person!

The first day I went back to Taichung, I cleaned up my room. To see my room very tidy makes me happy. Then the following day I went to the interview of the education exhibition. I hope I can get the translation job to have another experiences.
I think this semester I gonna change something of my life a llittle bit. Something like the style or the thinking of life. Hoping I can become a more mature person!

Revised composition---- Novels
Novels
I usually have chances to read novels, no matter I read them just to kill the time, to entertain myself, or even for tests. According to the experiences that I have, I categorize novels into three kinds of novels, predicable, interesting, and dull.
The first kind of novel, predicable ones, as implied by name, is the novel that you can always know what will happen before you read it. Just like when I see the rosy beautiful sunset glow in the evening, I will know that the typhoon will come tomorrow. For instance, when the story is about the prince who has to beat the dragon and save the princess, I know that it is going to portray how dangerous it is for the prince to kill the dragon, and finally the prince will win and bring the princess back. Or when everything in the story seems perfect, like the husband and wife live a wonderful life, it always happens that the wife will suddenly be diagnosed as having a cancer. Then the husband will commit suicide and donate his organ to the wife. Things like that are always found in the predicable novel and that make the novel flat.
The second type of novel is the one that I like most. The plot of the story is interesting and attractive. Unlike the predictable novel, this kind of novel always gives me surprise. Once I read it, I will stick to it. Furthermore, the vivid and graphic descriptions in the novel make me feel that the things are just in front of me. The most important thing is its portrait of the roles’ emotions, which always show the roles’ inner struggles and feelings precisely. While I am reading it, I can learn a lot from it and improve my writing skill at the same time. To sum up, this kind of novel is so wonderful that I can’t put down the book, and even forget to eat.
The third kind of novel is very boring. At the very beginning of reading, I can tell that this kind of novel will make me doze off immediately. During the time that I force myself to read it, the idea to drop the book crosses my mind every five minutes. This kind of novel is full of doctrines and something like that, but its theories are ridiculous. I once read a book that tried to persuade people the human are the offspring of bears, and thus we have to worship them. I just can’t imagine what I’ll be like if my ancestor was a bear. Another book that overexaggerates the pollution of environment and overemphasizes the danger of living on the earth is also a boring book. This kind of novel just makes me feel like reading a bible.
Among those three kinds of novel, obviously I like the second ones most. In my point of view, novel’s function isn’t just entertainment but it can also teach people something. If a novel can provide people much to learn, it will be more worthwhile to read.
Revised composition---- Memories of Halloween
Memories of Halloween
There are many holidays in a year. Some of them are meaningful, but some are so boring that you can’t even remember them. If you ask me which holiday is the most unforgettable one in the past nineteen years, I will say Halloween without hesitation. Because on that day, I experienced the foreign culture and had a lot of fun.
Halloween is a holiday on the last day in October. Children on the day will dress as ghosts and witches. When I was ten years old, I join this fun holiday party, too. My English school held a party and every child had to dress like mummies or monsters. However, it was hard for me to decide which ghost I should be. I asked my mom to help me, and finally we came up with a good idea. I would dress as a student. After we decided on the theme, it’s time to gather the clothes I had to wear. First, we had to find a skirt and s shirt. Then, we had to find a vest and wool pants. We borrowed a vest from my mother’s colleague’s daughter and took out my winter uniform. It’s perfect for dressing as a student! Then Halloween was just around the corner.
On the very day that the party was held, I went to school with an elementary student’s look. All my friends dressed up themselves. One of them dressed as a mummy. I was really wondering how many bandages he used and how much time it took to wrap himself like that. The teachers in the school had already prepared a lot of interesting activities for us, and of course, they were all “fully armed.” Every classroom was decorated with a different theme and we had to play a game there. If we failed to finish the job, we would get punishment. I remembered in one classroom there was a castle and the teacher in it was a Vampire. Another was a log cabin and the teacher dressed as a witch. Still another was a circus with a clown.
The tasks were not very hard. We finished the task that the clown asked us to do－to juggle the balls for him, and found the differences between two articles as the Vampire asked. Nevertheless, we failed at the Death’s one. One of my teachers dressed as a Death, and the challenge we had to do was to find five small marbles hided in the classroom within five minutes. When we found the fourth marble, time’s up, which meant we would take the “cruel” punishment. We had to drink a glass of coke with noodles in it. It’s awful, but after all, it’s a punishment.
Now, the day had passed for so long, but I can still remember the funny looks of my teachers, classmates, and those fun activities. Every year when the Halloween is coming, I will recall these unforgettable things. I don’t dress as a ghost to knock my neighbor’s door and say “trick or treat” anymore. I can’t keep in touch with those classmates who used to play with me, but I believe the good memories will not fade away even if I become old.

Final is Devil
Final examination is coming!!! It's really a nightmare in every student's mind. I think Japanese will cost me most time to study. Then English Literature is the hardest one. There are so many okd English in it, sometime I just can't understand the meaning. Oh~ Please bless me high pass this semester.
Though the final examination 's coming makes me sad, it's also mean that the happy winter vacation is also coming! Chinese New Year is one of my favorite holidays in a year. I hope I can get a lot of red envelopes. To eat hot pot and play mahjong with relatives is also an enjoy. Anyway, to beat the beast of final examination and have a good year is my most concern!!
Recently we are reading Faustus. I think it's a funny story. Hope I can have a good time with it and get high score.XD

The end of 2008
Time flies so fast! 2008 was over. So many things happened in this year, including I became a sophomore, moved out of dormitory, and met my prince. To recall, those things that happened in this year seemed so close to me, but in fact, they had already been gone for a long time. My high school teacher told me to recall the happy time in a year when a year is over, and meanwhile check out if I have grew mature or learned more than last year. It always made me so sad because I always found I ruin a year and seem didn't learn more or become wiser. I don't know how to grow up indeed, but time wil not wait for me and it just passes. Did I grow up in 2008? Let time to tell me!
I had 4 days off. But what I did is just sleeping and sleeping and sleeping. It's a weird thing that it seems I never suffer from insomnia. I hope I will be energetic next whole week and beat the "final-exam monster."
