Finding New Roommates

We have to find new roommate for the next semester because we will move to another dormitory after this year. It is said that the room in that dormitory is smaller than where we live now. Therefore, all of my classmate consider it is an important issue. If we find roommate who have the same living habits, we will have a nice school live. On the other hand, we may feel uneasy when we get along with other roommates. Luckily, I find my new roommates yesterday. Even though we have not lived together before, but I think we will do our best to be a considerate roommate. Needless to say, what we have to do is treat roommates with sincerity and improve mutual understanding. In my opinion, it is roommates that give us a hand when we feel helpless in school and cheer us up.

Learning One Tire Bicycle 3

According to scientist report, if it were not for regular exercise, one will become tired physically and wrecked spiritually easily. Therefore, every weekend, I go to my elementary school to practice riding one tire bicycle.

Last weekend, I successfully ride it five meters without holding the wall. This weekend, I tried to ride more length. My practice started from sitting on to one tire bicycle when I hold the pillar. I tried my best to keep balance and ride longer. In the beginning, I found that I would ride very fast and then fall down immediately. Hence, I decided to slow down my speed in order to having better consequence. However, I soon noticed that slow down the speed also could result falling down. I spent more than one hour to search the safe speed. After I found out how to ride one tire bicycle more balance, I kept riding. Finally, I can ride 40 meters, which is as long as a aisle when I practiced for more than two hours.

My father said I made a progress in a fast pace. I was also proud of my achievement. Needless to say, I have to make effort in the future so as to learn one tire bicycle. It goes without saying that hard working and perseverance is indispensable on our way to reach our goal.

Observe Plants








One of our group projects in biology experiment class is observing plants in our school. It sounds that this is an easy job because there are so many trees and grace in our school.

In fact, “green” is the characteristic of out campus. Whenever we step into our campus, we can see trees located in green grass at first. Our group is focus on the grass while other groups focus on trees. We have to identify what kind of the plant and the detail of each part on it. After doing this for the first time, I noticed that this project have lots of thing to do. It is because identifying the category of plant is more difficult than I think. Therefore, I choose aloe as my target. Surprisingly, the aloe in our school is beautiful. At the same time when I saw the aloe is blooming, I was so happy that I have this opportunity to saw this situation.

As the result, even though doing this group project is a little difficult, I still learn a lot from it. Beside, the sensation when I saw aloe’s flower is a unforgettable experience.

Learning One Tire Bicycle 2


Compare to my father’s students who were taught by professional coach, I have to learn one tire bicycle by myself. Fortunately, my father taught me that there are some goals that I can refer to.

According to these students learning experience, I have to learn ride it fluently without holding the wall first. After I can ride one tire bicycle more then 20 meters, I have to learn how to turn right and turn left. Third, the riders should prolong their length of riding in order to make sure that they have enough power to keep riding. Finally, we have to learn how to get on one tire bicycle without holding the wall. This movement was named “free on.” it is said that free on is the most difficult motion. After learning it, we can said that person already know how to ride one tire bicycle. However, there are still some movements which usually used in performance.

This week, I can ride more than 3 meter without holding the wall. My father said that is a big progress. After experiencing the feeling about riding, I can learn faster and faster. In fact, those elementary school student also know that they will getting better and better after riding a short length.

Planning go to Europe


Even though I have already visit China and Japan in resent years, I still want to take a trip to foreign country located beyond Asia. In fact, the one thing I would like to do most after I enter college is to travel Europe. I have been longing to go on a trip to Europe after my younger brother went to Germen and had a lot of fun. However, it seems that I had never had much time and money to do during my high school days. This summer, I have the chance to go to Europe and move with bicycle.

The leader of this trip is one of my elementary school teachers. He had traveled to Europe many times. It goes without saying that he has the ability to provide an unforgettable trip. Our trip would last more than twenty days. Moreover, we have only nine people in our group. Therefore, we can plan our trip with flexibility. The most important thing is that we do not have to go to shop stores where travel agency always leads the customer head to.

It is sad that my entire family members are busy in this summer. But I invite two friends to enjoy the spectacular scenes. In addition, I should practice speaking English as best as I can, so that I can communicate with European without embarrassing. And I would have to find a part time job to earn some money. Or I would become bankrupt after the travel.

Learning One Tire Bicycle 1


In this semester, I went to my elementary school on weekends to learn “one tire bicycle”. In fact, my elementary school tried to let students learn bicycle when they on the age of learning new thing fast. Moreover, many schools in Taiwan also interest in teaching one tire bicycle. I was glad to know that there are more then ten students in my father’s class know how to control this bicycle. Also, after hearing that those children enjoyed this sport a lot, I hope I can try my best to learn it.

I had no teacher, and what I could do is practice week by week. However, it was so difficult at the beginning. I have to find the balance both in front and back and right and left. I even wanted to give up some times. It is because that whenever I wanted to let my self alone, I fall down to ground and hurt my legs immediately. The reason that keeps me learning continuous is that I think “diligence is the mother of success”. Diligence makes us get rid of the bad habit of lazy. In addition, it helps us a lot on the road we achieve our goals. In my opinion, it is possible for me to skill in riding one tire bicycle if I practice as hard as possible.

Doing Nobel Project


All of us have to introduce a Nobel price in our biological class. My group chose the 2004 chemistry Nobel price. In fact, I have already read this observation in my textbook. However, what we had to do is show the details about how this observation influences our world. We searched books, magazines, science papers. Most important of all, we learned how to use Internet well.

In the past, people were writing their reports by hands, researching their reports at the library, where many books were dusty and out-of-date. Nowadays, computer allow us to save hours every day, which piles up after a while into a tremendous amount of time. The benefits they bring are incalculable. Recently, the Internet play more and more important role in out study.

In my opinion, I rely on computer for this project. After connected to the Internet, a personal computer becomes the entrance to the knowledge world. We found many useful website and learned latest information from it. In addition, we demonstrate the knowledge with power point. After out introduce, some of my classmates said we did a good job. I was glad to hear that. Also, I have to thank all my group members’ effort.

Watch Our School




Last Thursday, I and my classmates went to see our schools plants. We were leaded by our biological teacher. Our goal is the mountain beneath our school. On our way to the mountain, we discovered the beauty of nature. Tall trees stranded behind the road and protected people from severe sunshine. Moreover, the grass released flesh smell, brining energy to us. And beautiful flowers showed their perfect appearances to us. In fact, I considered the grass a large green sea. In the past, I did not discover that there are so many beautiful places in my school. And I never notice that the color of grass could be so wonderful. During we discovered some plants, some cars and trucks rushed away without seeing the landscape. I thought those drivers were so unlucky.

Even though the weather was hot, we still had a good time. Some of my classmates complained that there was too much noise on the road. In my opinion, I learned a lot in the afternoon. I think the protection of nature cannot be over emphasized. If we lost the beautiful plants, we will lose them forever. A nice environment is essential to all the people. We have to do our best to prevent the breathtaking sense and teach the next generation the important about the nature. We have the duty to make our environment more and more comfortable. This was what I learn in the afternoon.
