-If you losed your lover. I think you can be friends, too. But it may be sad when you walk to where you had been. So i suggest that go to the spot less. And be care for music may couse you in bad mood, too!

Flying Phoenix

As everyone knows, the products which made in China are always dangerous. Not talking too far, does everyone remember what happened recently about our nutrition source--milk? It(tainted milk) caused plenty of people died. Now, China will develop civil aircraft manufacturing. What will it happen? I don't dare to imagine.

Besides, if i had the chance to ride in China's ARJ-21 airplane, I would not take it! Why? If there had some accident happened, who will take charge for it? It must become the driver's responsabilities.

what to wear

Here's how you should compose your blog entry:

2.1 Tell the readers what you learned about today's listening material from BBC English (What to Wear)

2.2 Then, discuss your own fashion style. Describe your style from the hair down to your shoes. Tell us why you prefer to present yourself this way.

2.3 Are there any fashion style/s mentioned in the BBC learning material that you would like to have i.e. hairstyle, body piercing, etc.? Why or why not?


Answers:
2.1 Today, I learned some words like piercing is a stud prick our skins, and some phrases such as out of place and finished off.
Besides, I found that piercing is so terrible! Timid guys if you wanna do it, before your second thought, please!!

2.2 My is style is very free~ My hair is curly. And when I go to school I dressed up myself with T-shirt and jeans, sometimes I wear coat. I have above five shoes, two of them are sporty, three of them are sandals, and a pair of working shoes. I don't have high-heel shoes. Because I am tall enough, so I think I am not suitable to wear it. Besides, I like free style, therefore, now what I wear is good for me. However, if I go out to go shopping, I tend to wear fashionable.

2.3 After I read the news from BBC, I think piercing is so terrible that I don't dare to use it. However, scarf is a thing that can prettify our looking or wearing. So I would wander to have a scarf tightly around my neck.

exclamations podcasting assignment

The last time I said 'duh!' was 24th Oct. Because the Methology course had let us see the movie about 'Hercules' and he said "duh~!" All the classmates in UE1B had repeated again. It was very amusing.


On 23rd Oct., I just had said "oh ya!!!! English Departmant wins the basketball game!!!!!" How exciting it is.


A short while ago, I had just said "wow!!!" Because of so many books in front of me.
Midterm exam is on the corner, it made me nervous.

World’s heaviest man plans to marry

Now, I am talking about "World’s heaviest man plans to marry."

and I am recording some questions about Internet English cours.

1.When I clicked this website and saw the headline. I shocked and though "Wow, it's impossible."But nothing is impossible.

2.When I heard the word "weigh", the idea hits my mind of a sudden is that "I am supposed to go on a diet."

3.Love is blind. Love can overcom everything. However, it can ruin one's life, too.

4.If i weight 560kgs. I think will be shocked!! Besides, it must very painful and many people will stare at me with a strange eyesight.

5.Manuel can loss his weigh is a big challenge for him! I think he can go on and then his weigh will be normal and he will become a handsome guy!

6.I really want to celebrate Manuel. Because he loss his weigh and meet his Mrs. Right-Claudia. He is so lucky!!!!!

7.Now, I am 47 kgs. Many people think I am too thin, but I think it's okay.

8. I weight my weigh twice a month.

9. I think I can adapt my life, but if I can change, I want to become smarter.

10. Besides I am thin enough. So I won't have a diet, and can not, either.

11.In my opinion, I will be fatter and lazier if I am unable to leave my bed.

Thank you for your listening. I am Renee, see you next time. : )

Tainted Milk

Write about your reactions to this news report. What is your opinion about this issue?
When I got this news, I felt so shocked! Because milk is a stuff what we take nutrition in our health. However, now, it has been put toxic and dangerous stuffs into milk powder. Moreover like coffee powder, chocolate, and so on. In my opinion, though the poision isn't breaking out suddently, it will collect in out insind body. When we be getting old, we may sick even dead.

Do you think that if it could happen to China, then it could also happen in Taiwan?

In my viewpoint, Taiwan is a mainly export country but also import, and next to China. Therefore it may very will happen in Taiwan!

To avoid such economic and social disaster, what do you think the government should do to avoid such event from happening in the future?

I think that government should check every thing imports to Taiwan carefully.

typhoon Sinlaku striked Taiwan

Write a brief blog entry about this issue. Do you think that this accident could have been avoided? Yes, No, Why? Do you think that someone has to take the blame for this accident? Why do you think so? Deadline: 9/25/2008




This video is about a typhoon named Sinlaku which stroked Taiwan and consequence it did. For example people die, injure, agricultural losses in this natural disaster, and etc.
I think those accident can be avoided. As long as people do protect, it can reduce this kind of disaster. For instance, we grow some trees in mountains not betel nuts, and don't go outside when the heavy rain falls. And the most important is do not watch waves beside shores. It is dangerous and it may decrease polices' spirit and safety.
In my opinion, those kind of accidents can't blame anyone. Because this is our earth, our country, our home. So we are supposed to protect it by ourselves.

This is Renee.
