14.My Weekend


My Weekend

I am a Christian so I usually go to church ever Saturday. But in this weekend, I go to church on both Saturday and Sunday because this weekend is our Spiritual Convocation. And I have made a testimony in our church in Saturday afternoon. This is about why I believe in Jesus and also my family. During that time I was really nervous before I go on the stage, but after I prayed to God and he made me feel comfortable so I can placidly talk to everyone about my testimony and I ‘m really glad that I have this chance to let everyone knows about God works. At night we also sang a hymn of praise to God. Although I can not go to Universal Studios with you all, but I still have a nice weekend.

My Bedroom


My bedroom is white with brown wood floor so when I entry my bedroom, there is a full size bed in the center and decorated by dark blue counterpane and light blue bed quilt and also white pillows. Behind the bed is a white small table that I usually put a clock and a table lamp on the top. I also have a blue desk against the wall and a black computer chair is in front of my desk and both desk and chair are on the right hand side. All of our furniture is from IKEA. My bedroom also attached a walk-in closet bathroom and a French window because it is main room in this apartment. They are all around my bed. Bathroom and walk-in closet are next to each other and my favorite French window just next to my bed. So I like my bedroom really much.

11.Weddings in My Country


Weddings in My Country

My home country is Taiwan, so wedding in my country is really special because we usually combine American and Chinese wedding style. In the morning we usually held the wedding in a church just like in USA, all of our family and friends are sitting in the church to bless for the couple. After the wedding, we usually have a Chinese style banquet held at a hotel for dinner in evening. We have traditional Chinese food and play some games to make fun at the banquet and that is another way to bless to them.



10.The Legal System Work in My Country


The Legal System Work in My Country

In our country, we have a judge, lawyer, prosecutor, secretary, counsel and bailiffs in a court. Except jurors, we are as same as United State. After layer and counsel had controversy, the final decision will made by judge. If the decision is acceptable to the accused, they can ask for a second appeal but this is only for common pleas. If this case is criminal suit then sometimes they can not have right for asking for a second appeal. But before the judge make the decision, I believe that they have prepared every evidence to proof that person is guilty.

My Dream Vacation

For my dream vacation, I want something special and unique. So I want to go to Africa for my dream vacation. It is an attractive place for me because I like animal so much no matter they are carnivorous or herbivorous animal.

Journal Entry #6 An unforgettable experience in my life


An Unforgettable Experience in My Life

An unforgettable experience in my life was a magnitude 7.3 earthquake in Taiwan on 1999. It happened at mid night around 2 o’clock and we were fall asleep during that time. In the beginning when the earthquake started, I thought that was my sister trying to lie down on bed so the bed moved, but suddenly I heard my father shouted “earthquake, get up everybody” .Soon, we were trying to find a shelter if the house fall down so we may have opportunity to survive. It was so terrible because the house was jumping and we even can not stand, and then after few minutes it stopped. All of us were terrified and we can not go back to sleep until morning. Finally, this earthquake cause at lease 2000 people died and thousand of people lost their house. This earthquake is the most unforgettable experience in my life

My favorite season is winter because we usually have long vacation in winter time like Chinese New Year. In these days, all of my families will comeback to my grandmother’s house and having a great dinner together just like Christmas. And after dinner, we usually played games and fireworks even most of us are adults. And also because we have long vacation so we usually go traveling to another country like Japan. And I believe that winter can make people get closer so I feel winter even warmer than summer. And that is why winter is my favorite season.

Journal #4 A letter to dean

A letter to dean

Dear Mr.and Ms.

I am a student from American Language Program. And I feel a little lack of time for lunch. Although we have 30 minutes for lunch but it is to hurry for me and I also learned that some of students at another level even have no time to join the Fun Lunch at HC Lawn, they have to go to class directly. So I am wondering that if we can change the time for lunch maybe there will have more students to join it.

Sincerely yours,

Maggie

4C student

And I am really appreciated that I have a mother like her because she made me become an independent woman so I can do my best to reach my goal in here.

My favorite sport is baseball but never played it. I just enjoyed watching the games on TV. And the reason why I liked baseball is because a player named Chien-Ming Wang. He is a amazing baseball player that I know because he made Taiwan become a well know country. And the most important thing is his baseball skills are really good and adroit. He also donated some money for helping those children who eager to have baseball team in the country side. Even he becomes so famous but he never forgets his home country and he also let everyone know that Taiwan is different from China.
