Last night I went to play the tennis with my Vyona, we practiced first, and then we played together. It’s not easy for me, I tried my best to wield my racket, but the ball was obstinate, no matter I waved the racket fast or slowly, it didn’t work, finally, I did all I can, thought “it must be successful yeah!”, then I beat it, then…..where was the ball? I couldn’t see it! But, I heard my partner laughed, and I was still finding my ball, then she said “it’s in your racket!”, the tennis ball stuck in the throat! It’s so funny! And we both laughed and couldn’t stop!
:D

Being a Translator
My friends, Ruth and Vyona, they are very interesting. Because Ruth is an ABC, and Vyona is an aboriginal, they have some accents when they speak Chinese, and sometimes they say the different things in the same time, it means that I have to listen to two different things when they talk (ex: Ruth: I want to eat some fried things. Vyona: Yeah! We have to go to the class this afternoon!), but they still can talk to each other and didn't notice that! heehee! They’re so cute! And I told them that, they both laughed, and they asked me to be a translator for them! OK, I’m happy for that!

It’s amazing right?

Cosmetic Surgery
There are more and more people want to take cosmetic surgeries. People change their attitudes to the cosmetic surgeries; there are many people support to take operation if it can make them feel better and be confident, but I think we can take more exercise to be more slender and healthier, or change our hair style, but cosmetic surgery is unnecessary, it’s unnatural and dangerous. And I think it’s a little stupid if you want your nose is like someone’s and your eyes are like another one’s and lips are…..if all the people change their face and all of them looks like models, what will it be? Everyone looks alike, they’re all perfect, but the child looks different to their parents, it’s so weird!
I think beauty is a purpose for everyone to pursue, but approve ourselves and like ourselves is the most important thing, we have to know everyone is different, and we are unique, so we have to enjoy it instead of change it!
1. Human beings are not like human beings at all, we can change our materials (eyes, nose, lips… )http://www.psbeauty.com.tw/index.html
2. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5391910.stm if I have a lot of money I will travel around the world (maybe it’s not enough, ha ha….) or help the poor or do some meaningful things instead of take a plastic surgery!

Some love? Much of Love?
French vs. English
Aimer=like, love ; beaucoup=a lot of; bien=good
Today I learned a verb in French class that is “aimer”, it means “like” or “love”, and it can be used at describing our hobby, friendship, and romance. But, the most interesting is when we describe we appreciate someone, we use “aimer bien”; we have a good friendship with someone, we use “aimer beaucoup”, and we love someone, we should just use “aimer”! It’s so interesting because we think “love” must be a lot of love connected with, why do we just use one word?
And what is love?
Maybe love is simple, it doesn’t need anything, so we don’t have to add “much of” or “good” it’s pure, no purpose, no reasons, no rules just love, and it doesn’t need too much, we should leave a little space to keep ourselves. And we can’t understand it except the lovers.
And I like the French conception of love........"Love, it’s unnecessary to talk about, but it’s natural for human beings just like breath, we can’t live without it!"

Assignment:Question3
I think the American culture and the Japanese culture influence Taiwan most deeply
Following are the women and men on TV in Taiwan:
The women (beauty): have well figures (slender bodies, good breasts and hips), beautiful hairs (are usually long hairs), good faces and skins (most Taiwanese think white skin is more beautiful than black). And they’re young. They’re dressed fashion clothes which is famous brand, or some clothes that can highlight the woman’s figure (mini-skirts, mini-pants….)
The men (handsome men): have good figures (strong, muscular), tall, good faces and skins. They’re dressed fashion clothes. Their ages and aren't so important if they looks good.
But, Japanese stars are different from American stars especially the male stars, they’re thin and not tall, beautiful, cute, we call that is the flower like handsome boy; and the female stars are skinny and look cute.
I think the stereotyping of sexual on TV is still being Taiwan but not so obvious, we accept many kinds of people, like the cute flower like boy or the muscular man, women wear mini-skirts, they also can wear loose jeans, they wear neuter clothes, I think it’s very fun, and it’s better than the past.

Assignmen:Question 2
According to the scientific research, men’s brains are different from women’s. For example, women’s verbal skills appear to begin early in life. Studies of children’s behavior have found that girls speak earlier, have larger vocabularies and better at spelling and reading. But, men are systematic; they are better at investigating how a system works, so they like to get deeply involved in activities such as car repair, computing or building up. On the other hand, people will be changed by their family or the environment, for instance, a boy who was born of a ballet family, when he was a little child his parents taught him how to dance and encouraged him to be an excellent dancer; another boy, he loved ballet and really wanted to be a dancer, but his parents told him “you are a boy, don’t do the girl thing! You should be a engineer! It can earn a lot of money!” then he gave up his dream. The sexual stereotyping of job is related to the sex brain and the environment, and family pressure (many women quit her job after got married for her family, it’s unfair!). Now there are more people change their concept of the sex of career, and women’s rights are higher than past, but how to make men and women quality? I think it doesn't mean that women should do as well as men in the same thing, or men should be soft as women, it means that we should understand each other and work together.
