Summary:
“Two of everything” written by Babette Cole is about two beautiful children, Demetrius and Paul, who had problem parents. Their problem parents always didn’t have the same opinion, and also didn’t like the same thing. They even played tricks to each other. Two children were very worried about their parents’ behavior, and thought that whether is their fault or not. However they found that it isn’t their fault after they asked other children. Therefore, they decided to held on an “un-wedding” for their parents. Their parents were very happy, and they agree this decision right away. This was their first time that had the same opinion. Then, their parents had an “un-wedding”,”un-honeymoon” and lived in two different houses which were the gift for them by two children. In the end of story, these problem parents didn’t argue any more, because they could do everything they want. Everyone all had happy life.

Reflection:
In the past, most stories always had a happy ending: the prince and the princess got married and had a happy life forever. This story broken the traditional rule, and tell us the fact in the real life. Two people in a marriage have arguments which are a usual thing, because they grew up in two different backgrounds. They will have different hobbies and values. Therefore, if they found that they really can’t get alone with the other person, maybe divorce is their best choice.

Recommend:

I considered that this story is very special, because it doesn’t follow the traditional ending. It tells children that in a marriage having a happy life forever which is impossible. In the real life, people will fight, arguing, and having different opinion, etc, because we aren’t saints. This story can make children realize this thing, so I feel that this book is worth to read it.

No more “Dirty Look Special”
“No more ‘dirty look special’ ” is about a son felt tired of his mother’s control, and he was longing for free from her control. Only can made him do so which is taller than his mother, because his mother always used her height to intimidate little children in school, his sister and him. Even when he was matured and demanded certain privileges, she still thought that he wasn’t old enough. Therefore he considered that that’s must because of his height. Then, one day, he found that he was taller than his mother! He was longing for the coming of this glorious day long time, and this most important moment finally had arrived. However he suddenly realized that he wasn’t wanted to escape from his mother’s control, he just wanted his mother can considered that he is grownups. In the end of the story, he and his mother didn’t argue anymore, and always talked and discussed like civilized people.
Most of children always want to get out of their parents’ control, but when they grown up they will find out their parents’ love from their control. The boy in this story also realized this thing. Therefore, He knew that he not only should have grown up in physical aspect, he also should have grown up in more matured way.

My Christmas holidays
I was very exited and happy for the coming of Christmas because we had four days holidays. I haven’t gone home for three weeks, so I missed my family so much and I couldn’t wait for holidays.
Although this Christmas I didn’t go out, I still felt very happy. My family and I had good time when we had dinner and watched TV together. My elder sister and I had chatting with each other till both of us are too tired to continue the conversations. We talked everything about what we happened recently which not only good things but also bad things. I also spent my time teaching my younger brother his homework.
Maybe some people will consider that I am crazy or felt bored because these four holidays I always stayed at home, but I think that these four days are the most wonderful holidays I have ever had. I can have Christmas with my family; it’s so sweet and awesome. This is a sweet Christmas holiday which full of my family’s love.

A man came into the empty store that had dark hair and a thick Greek accent when she was cleaning the store. After finishing the order of cake, this man closed to her and asked her whether she fell in love with him or not? “No, not today. Maybe tomorrow.” she answered. Because this weird question this was made that she thought of her ex-boyfriend, Paul. Two month ago, Paul and she went ice-skating at the lake near their house. They have a wonder time, and she still remembered that the sky on that day had a strange red color. On that moment, she thought she loved him so much. Two weeks ago, Paul dumped her for a cheerleader, and at that time she was very angry and hurt, and now she felt better. Because the silly question and answer are made her thought that breaking up with boyfriend don’t need sadness, and knew that the world is filled of wonderful possibilities.

But as soon as the sweet feeling is gone, they will break up very soon. There must will is a person who is hurt. This article tells us two things. First, we should take the relationship seriously.

This woman was named amber kuo who is twenty years old. She is a Taiwanese and studying at the National Taipei University. Sitting alone in a restaurant, she was very upset about her boyfriend broke up with her because he fell in love with her best friend. She looked at the seat where her boyfriend have seated and thought of their memories. How happy they are when her boyfriend still loves her, how sweet he is when he fell in love with her, and now how cruel he is to hurt her in this way.
“I won't love him anymore, and I won't cry for him anymore." She thought.


Why Don't You Kiss Her?
by Jesse McCartney

We're the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everythingthat is on my mind
Lately something's changed
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head softly says
(chorus)
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide
Cause she'll never know
If you never show the way you feel inside
Oh, I'm so afraid
To make that first move
Just a touch and we could cross the line
And every time she's near
I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
(chorus)
What would she say
I wonder would she just turn away
Or would she promise me that she's here to stay
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
(chorus)
Why don't you kiss her(tell her you love her)
Why don't you tell her (tell her you need her)
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide
Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel insidewhy don't you kiss her


summary:

This song is talked about a boy love a girl who is his best friend.He love her so much, but he didn't have enough courage to tell her that he love her. Because he is afraid that if he tell her that the feeling that he hide, she won't accept his love and their friendship will broke up. So he is very confuse whether telling his feeling or not. And this song is that he talk with himself and encourage himself that telling he love her so much.

Every things all have positive and negative aspect, therefore; computers are not an exception case. There are not only having advantages, but also drawbacks.

What do you consider to be the most important room in a house ?

I think that the most important room in a house must be bedroom. There are two advantages. First, bedroom is personal. It’s only belongs you, so you can have more privacy than other rooms. If you want to write diary, you don’t afraid that someone can see the diary content. Second, in bedroom, no one can bother you. It’s very quiet that you can do what you want to do like studying, reading books, listening the music, sleeping, and so on. And in other rooms, you must be disturbed. For example, maybe you want take a rest, then other people are watching TV or chatting loudly. It’s too noisy to have a rest. To sum up, the most important room in a house is bedroom. You can have your own space, and do what you desire to do.

I am mia.

Introduction
I am Mia. I am very happy that I can enter the Providence University. But I am very nervous and afraid at the same time. Because I found that my classmates are very excellent. Some of them have lived at abroad. Some of them won many English prizes during their high school. Besides, I am a traditional Taiwan student. I means that maybe I can do well on the English test but It’s doesn’t means that my listening, speaking, reading, writing are good enough. So I want to enforce my writing in this class.
When I write an article I usually confront three problems. First, I can’t express my thoughts in English correctly; even I have lots of ideas in my mind which can be finish an article. Second, I can’t think in English directly. So my English article is like an Taiwanese English article. Third, when I want to use a word which I have learned, I just can’t remember it. These problems causes that I have to have an e-dictionary when I write an English article. I am very worry about it.
I want to improve these problems, write a good article by myself not e-dictionary and learn tips which can enforce my writing.
