Legend of the First Return of Chen Zhen

This film is talking about the Kong-Fu master's apprentice (Chen Zhen),Chen Zhen appears again in this continuance movie, He didn’t die when he was fighting with Japanese at end of the scenes on last story, Chen Zhen left the China to the Europe to escape the Japanese chase and kill, At that time is end of the World WAR 1. China’s government sends the people to Europe to helping allies'country in the WAR, So many China people die at the world war but it is not fighting for own country.After the few years past, Chen Zhen aware of that the biggest enemy isn’t in Europe it is still in China.Therefore he and his friends go back to Shanghai to save the country China.

The story is base on this structure and tells the east and west difference,I am very impressed the film that include new elements such as the BAT MAN movie.Bat Man is the hope for all of the people, who living in the city as if Chen Zhen living China,It inspires our patriotism, the feeling was gone for a long time but it is being found. I like this ending because it is special kind of the mood to me.

Typhoon

This summer we just met a typhoon (Fanapi).I saw the news yesterday that Fanapi was brought heavy rain to the province GuangDong in China.And heavy water damaged the city, village and downtown. The newspaper and mass media are warning and mentioned about the intensity is middle level.It let me think about the globe warming issue,
The weather report expert said that the typhoon will become stronger than before due to the globe warming issue.Therefore, I was worry about the Fanapi before it was toward to Taiwan,but it did bring the heavy rain,And it damaged Kaohsiung at South of Taiwan.
According to the research report of meteorologist that point the out the damaged conditions is quite serious.It is very terrible news to us (Taiwan people) because we live in the small island,And we could not escape from if the natural disaster,So, do we have any good tactics to solve the unknown natural disaster? I think our government should make the process to face the difficulty issues.

The Moon Festival

     This is Chinese traditional holiday,And it have a famous story of (嫦娥奔月 ) Chang's ascent to the Moon. You can refer to this link,(Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houyi . But I don’t to want to introduce it, I want to share this day of mine for you, We spent half day to ride a bike, when we reach the top of the mountain, We went to the coffee shop near the destination.

     This is a special day because of the moon festival.The boss ask we joint the BBQ (barbecue) with them, They provide the all food and equipment for the entire customer,Therefore all the people began to eat the BBQ.In the meanwhile, I saw some foreign friends spoken to the boss and their friends with smiling,I felt the boss'enthusiastic treatment,And I thought that is a wonderful Taiwanese culture isn't it!

The Korean food

The Korean food is very popular in Taiwan due to famous Korean TV program,Therefore no matter where you go in Taipei, you will find the Korean food is surrounding you, Especially in the night market,
I also like Korea food and prefer to eat a Korean hot-pot,
It made by white vegetable (Kimchi), To-Fu, spicy source and thin pork
And it taste like Taiwan hot-pot but it got a little bit sour because of the Kimchi, I also love to eat Kimchi very much, You know if you want to live longer just eat, It is the most famous food from the Korea.

Do you know why they always made the Kimchi? There is a friend who told me only can grow the farm once per year in KOREA, Because they have the severe winter in the winter time,So the Korean must to use the way to reserve the vegetable for their winter food.That it is the traditional culture and spreading to special Korea food to the world.

New Reading Strategy

Reading strategy is a new studying skill for me, I have never used this skill in English studying, however I get in touched with Gregory’s alternative reading strategy class, I learn some new skills which is easier to me to understand paragraph. I like to use “Using Context Clues” to reading and studying the context because it is quite efficient to me to comprehend the content, I can pass the difficult words and guess the meaning of the sentence to know what is the essay talking about, and then I am trying to use the “Summary the Gist” to sum up what I learn from the context. Now, I could read essay without stop at a difficult word and review paragraph in reading again and again, it is really help me a lots.
No matter which is the best way, we find the suitable method is important, my reading problem is checking the dictionary too frequency when studying English therefore I even gave up the subject during the time. After I join the Lunghwa University to study, I learn the different way from before, so I would like to share the words” Actions speak louder than words, where there is a will, there is a way”. Never give up.

Diary (huge pressure)

The semester is just beginning, but I have already felt huge pressure from this week.We need to study very hard everyday due to we have new 6000 English vocabulary need to remember in your brain.It is from two different subjects TOEIC and News Vocabulary.And we have done the TOEIC listening test last Saturday;I get the low scores that I can’t even speak to anyone.
Maybe some other teachers assign another homework need to do, and then we have the big trouble,I mean that time is not enough to us,
Oh My God! I cannot imagine what will happen in this semester, I am not sure the others classmate feel the same as I thought. This is a terrible season in this semester.

MOD

Many people think the cable TV provide the too many mess channel for watching,Therefore I exchanged the supplier to 中華電信 MOD channel ,
They provide the few basic channels that you don’t want to see,
Especially the channel about the Buddhism,But you can watch the hi-definition channel,Such as the sport channel, it provide the best sports game,If you like to watch MLB or NBA, Hi definition channel is better than cable,I think that is your best choice.And that is good enough to cover the rest poor TV shows.
Second,If you had added payment channel in MOD, you could choice lots of your favorite channel.National Geographic channel is my favorite channel and best choice,It leads us to understand the earth, animals, countries, society cultures and so on … This is best education channel for the family, After we watching the MOD channels, We avoid hearing the many politics news and political party news issue.I feel good because we return to the normal society life,I think it is good for our children and family.

Earthquake

Did you feel the Earthquake? I think it is very terrible experience to Taiwan’s people,Just few days ago; we had an earthquake near the Taipei.We felt the big shake on the fourth floor, but I’m glad the earthquake wasn’t a high-intensity one.Newscaster reports about an earthquake that occurred at 4:35 p.m. in the downtown area. Seismologist at the Earthquake Center and learned that the earthquake had a magnitude of 3.2 on the Richter scale.

The epicenter was near Taipei, along one of the major faults, and the seismologist warns that there will be some aftershocks. This situation is always same as before, therefore,We need to rescue for these damaged areas and people quickly,To save the people is government responsibility.
We look forward to those years, the natural disaster happened again and again,It took so many people’s life and broken our families,We should think about the globe warning brings a lot of disaster issues,I wish they could predict more accurately when those earthquakes are going to happen.

Refit the bike

Refit the bike, that is difficult job because you need to find fit components. Second, how to let the works and refits on you? you also need to consider the outlook issues, therefore, I spent a lot of time to survey the parts to fit the bike during the summer vocation. The size and color issues are most important thing, too big or too small are not allowance, and these annoying things are always happening again and again.
For this reason, I decide to visit the bike store to solve my problems, after the 2 weeks long, I receive the good news from the bike store, and they help me to find the suitable parts of bike. To have a long distance riding, I need to change the position of bike’s head to fit my body; finally, I have done the job with my favorite bike.

Young-Ming Mountain (風櫃嘴)

This is the famous place for riding bicycle on the top of the Young-Ming Mountain. The place that provide the flat road and nice view for mountain biking, therefore, many bike rider would like to visit this place, and also there are many bike game hold on this place. My colleague and I are like to visit here, too.
We are usually get together at 7-11 near National Palace Museum (故宮博物院) in the early morning, we may take some breakfast or water here, this is our stating point , from departure to destination distance around 7.5 kilometer totally, the second station for resting is Fong-Lin bridge(楓林橋). Before the bridge is the normal slope road, pass the bridge, you will begin to climb the mountain, now, you have to switch gear to light level for moving on the mountain, through this exercise that we could strengthen the heart and lungs functions, but we have to watch out our heart beating rates by speed / heart beating machine to control in normal exercise condition, shouldn’t overload the on your body, following the rule, we will get healthy body and enjoy the biking.

Night Market

Night Market is the places which provide the people shopping, food and drink
That is Taiwan special local culture. You can shop clothing you need for the best price and eat any kinds of food you like on the street. You have to learn how to bid with the seller on the street. And then you could get the better price for the stuff you choose.
I like to eat traditional food in night market because it is really delicious and cheap,The other reason is that you can eat many kinds of food at the same block,
This is different from the restaurant, crowded people, cars full of the street, Loud music swallows the speaking voice, which is also unique life style culture in Taiwan.

Music Party

It is an interest party because we are getting together to listen the music, they are my brother’s friends, they chat on the music forum to know each other in the internet, share their favorite music, what kinds of the band are good or bad, why you don’t like the album or why this is the good album , you will know the reason after their explain and analyze the detail in music section, which song is the classic, who is the best instrument player and who is the soul of the band we are talking and sharing our experience to let anyone who want to know more about this fascinated music world, therefore, it is really different and funny music party.

Taiwanese Rock band - Red Ant ( 紅螞蟻合唱團 )

I would like to introduce a song that is coming from the Taiwanese Rock band Red Ant in 1993. I am fascinated with the song which name called Memory(祭), it tells about the deep inside memory of mother, the voice listened cold and sad, the music goes along with sad guitar sound which appeared the something deep inside the heart. The blues melody and improvise guitar solo that show the how deep feeling memory of the mother, and it also shows the truly human emotion which sometimes need to release pressure appropriately, the music sounds just like crying, screaming and suffering, the lyric had same as the meaning and feeling. Through the music reaction to show emotion that is the spirit of rock n roll, that is why the rock music can still alive.
I think this the most wonderful blues song in early Taiwan pop music world. The BAND just got short time to perform their rock song in that time due to the lead-vocal needs to go to army, but it brought the great moment for a decade of century.

Fu-lung(福隆)

Fu-lung is a place at north-east of Taiwan, it has many stories about the coal(煤). How to get there? You can take by the train to Fu-lung, it is very convenience.From Taipei to Fu-lung just spend around one and half hours. I love the small country located between mountain and sea because you can enjoy both nature view and easy to catch beautiful pictures. I heard Fu-lung lunch box is very famous in Taiwan, so I bought it to taste, yes, it is delicious, I will describe it taste same as grandmother cooked.

As I mentioned about the coal at the beginning, the small country got a lot of coal to dig long time ago; therefore, we could pass through the tunnel by walk or bicycle today. To feel the history scene, it is very unbelievable that tunnel is so long and it across the two county in Taiwan.

The end of the tunnel is the great ocean, which is the beautiful view as I said in front of you; it is wonderful travel memory again deep in my life.
