A Busy Weekend
I had a busy weekend. Worst of all, this kind of life may continue three weeks. It is because we will have many exams in the next month. Moreover, I have to prepare two group projects which should be shown recently. Needless to say, no one can have a good mood when he has to handle lots of homework. In fact, I spent all my afternoon on computer. Due to teachers’ demand, most of homework must use Internet and printing machine. Even I enjoy the time playing computer, I could not stand working on it for six hours. In my opinion, that was a horrible time. Thanks to my parents’ patient, I worked in a tranquil atmosphere. I felt I was a lucky person.
After facing this unforgettable experience, I wonder why I meet this difficulty. Maybe I should face my default – procrastinate. The main reason I have a terrible weekend is that I left some works in week days. However, many small works consist of a difficult work. I have to learn how to deal with my leisure time, because ability about time control is indispensable on the lif

Watch “Olive Twist”
In Thursday, I have read a movie named as “Olive Twist”. It is adapted from a famous novel. In fact, I have heard this novel’s name in Chinese; however, the translation is so different that I cannot recognize. This is a story about an orphan tried to find a nice life. After meeting many difficulties, he conquered obstacles and attained his goal. It is an impressing movie. Even though I did not know any actors or actresses name, I still consider this movie deliver many ideas to the spectaculars. In my opinion, a good movie is not necessarily performed by superstars. The really important thing is that whether the movie can touch our heart or inspire our spirit.
The movie shows us the reality in capitalism in the past. Capitals’ live is luxurious while labors could not eat enough food. It is a significant contrast to two different worlds. However, our society still has the same problem. Gape between rich people and poor people are sharp. I was very sad to saw that.
As the story unfolds on screen, my mood goes up and down with the plot. “Oliver Twist” really touched the deepest part of my mind. Because some of my classmate watched this movie together, we discussed the films and share our feeling after watching it. I thought that even this story had a good ending, many poor children’s life may ended in misery at that time. Moreover, familiar tragedies still happened on the world. “Olive Twist” gives us much space to think this world we live.

Talking about Myself
My name is Renny, and my Chinese name is 簡農軒. I am freshman in 長庚university. In fact, I did not enter any university while I graduate from senior high school. It is because I was not satisfied to my grade in university entrance exam. Therefore, I decided to prepare for the exam the next year. It goes without saying that that I had a tired time that year. However, when I saw my final grades, I knew all the effort is rewarded. This is also the first time I live in dormitory. I have much to learn, including improving roommates’ mutual understanding, controlling time, and taking care of myself.
Everyone has his advantages and shortcomings, and I am no exception. Hard working and perseverance are both of my quality. They were cultivated when I prepared university entrance exam. I think “No pains, no gains” is a good proverb. I will do everything with all my might until I reach my goal. I can take care of my grade even I join two clubs in school. On the other hand, my fault is that I cannot concentrate on one thing for a long time. Due to this short point, I usually have to spend more time to finish homework. Also, I may do some mistake when I was absent-minded. I hope I can cure this fault in university.
Talking to my favorite exercises. My favorite exercise is swimming. In my opinion, swimming is one of the best exercises. It can not only help us keep figure but also relax our mind. Whenever I have stress, I go swimming. After swimming, I feel happier and healthier. Because of so many advantages, I join swimming club in university.
In my leisure time, I like playing computer. Playing computer can release emotions and relieve tension. But if we spend too much time on the computer, we would forget to do our work. Hence, I all play computer less one hour per day. Moreover, I use computer to learn new information. I have already learn a lot the method to manipulate useful software. Some of latest news can also be found on the Internet.
In conclusion, I still have many things to learn. I want to create an unforgettable experience in university. Needless to say, patient and sympathy are indispensable on my way to reach my goal.

A Comparison of Two Ads
These two companies both sell pizza, but their ads are different to each other. Looking their package, it is easy to discover that they give different image to customers. The ads use special color, description, decorate and cute character to show their unique feature. For starters, Hell Pizza uses dark color to construct a mysterious atmosphere. On the other hand, Wagner Pizza uses a great quantity bright color such as yellow, orange and red to motivate customers’ appetite. Secondly, Hell Pizza do not use any description to introduce its product. It seems that this pizza is keeping some secret, and we have the right to search it. However, Wagner Pizza puts many descriptions on their ads, letting the customer know how the pizza taste and the pizza’s composition. Third, compare to the Hell Pizza’s simple package, Wagner Pizza skills in decorating its ads. Even Hell Pizza package is weird in appearance, it show the characteristic which can attract people having curiosity. Finally, while Hell Pizza uses flame to introduce pizza’s taste, Wagner Pizza chooses a carton character to draw children’s attention. It is a great idea in getting better grades about selling.
Why are these ads having so many different in appearance? In my opinion, it is because that they have different customers. The Hell Pizza wants teenagers and adults to buy its pizzas. Comparatively speaking, Wagner Pizza puts the goal on children and families. To begin with, children like to choose a pizza with cute and bright package due to carton they have ever seen in daily life. But teenagers like to venture on trying abnormal things, and this ability would make them choose a pizza with weird package. In addition, when a family wants to choose a pizza for dinner, they would choose Wagner Pizza because of its bright color. It goes without saying that having this pizza can have an unforgettable dinner time. However, when groups of friend want to have a party, they would likely choose Hell Pizza to show their distinctive eyesight. The result comes from children and teenagers different love. For example, children like energetic color, beautiful decorate and interesting cartons. On the other sight, teenagers like cool appearance, surprising items and unique issue. In conclusion, even though these two pizza ads have much different, they undoubtedly will use their special and interesting ideas to attract different kinds of people’s attention.

A Speech about Cultivating Plants
Today, I went to listen to a speech about cultivating plants. In this speech, we would learn how to transplant the tree and discovery the plant around us. This speech was held by plant club. Because I am interesting in the ecology, I decided to join it.
The speaker is an expert, and his speech was excellent, too. On the beginning, he showed us many photographs and introduced the places. He also said that cultivating plants has many advantage. First of all, the plant can beautify the environment. That would not only make our society more colorful but also provide a peaceful atmosphere. Secondly, tree plays an important role in environment protection. The development of industry has brought greater prosperity to our environment, but has also cause increasingly serious pollution. The plants can brush the air, stabilizes mud and conserve water. Therefore, cultivating trees is indispensable in modern world. Finally, transplanting trees can reconstruct an ecology system, sustaining the variety of animal. I could not agree with him anymore.
Later, the speaker taught us to transplant trees in many ways. Those were the methods to move the trees. In addition, we can also use those techniques to make trees more beautiful. In those two hours, I learned a lot mechanics. I hope that the day I can use what I learn to beautify our environment can coming soon.

Describe the Ad
The Hell Pizza ad is very attractive because it gives the consumers an abnormal impression about pizza. In this modern society, it is hard to satisfy the consumers with common goods. In this ad, Hell Pizza uses black package to provide a gloomy atmosphere. In my opinion, people who familiar with red pizza package would feel interested in this idea.
Although the package is weird in appearance, it still delivers information about the taste of the pizza. Whenever we see its package, we consider the pizza is hot and spicy. Due to the blue and white fire on the box, Hell Pizza successfully attracts our attention.
It is interesting to find special ads on the Internet. We can not only enjoy inventors’ creative but also try to find out the metaphor. I am glad to do this job.

Bridge Club’s Appointment
Yesterday was bridge club’s appointment. Fellow students have prepared many kinds’ of food to celebrate this special day. In the beginning of this semester, I was been told that I don’t need to eat dinner before the appointment. However, I forgot it. Therefore, I had dinner before I went to the bridge club. Whenever I entered the classroom, I was surprised at so many people came to our club. Compare to the normal days, there were about triple people in the classroom.
At first, I wondered why so many people arrived at the same time. Not until one fellow student welcomed me, I had no idea what happened. Later, I regretted for my forgetful. But I was still happy to see all the student can had a good time. Keeping in touch with each other is the best way to foster sensibilities.
That night, I saw many pizzas, fried chickens, cakes, and coke. Even I didn’t feel hungry, I ate some of them. In fact, I felt stuff at last. I had a great evening yesterday, because I met many people, had some delicacy, and practiced my skill in bridge. It is said that playing bridge is one of the best way which enable us to think carefully. I can’t agree with it anymore.

Swimming in Spring
Although the temperature is still cold, spring has arrived. This weekend, I and my father went to a swimming pool in my junior high school. It was cold outside in the afternoon. At first, I was reluctant to go swimming. However, my father told me that the water in the pool was warm and he thought we would feel comfortable.
Finally, we enter the pool. In my opinion, the air was just about 18℃. Surprisingly, the water was 31℃! No wander the swimming pool can open all the year. I haven’t found such a warm swimming pool. It is hard to describe the feeling when I entered the water. During two hours when I swam, I not only practiced frog kick for the competition but relax my mood. In fact, I had a busy weekend, having to do much homework. Swimming is one way for me to emit my pressure.
Needless to say, both of us had a great time. Moreover, I decided that the next weekend, I will go swimming again. It is because regular exercise is indispensable in keeping healthy!
