Last week, my grandmother died,therefore, I had to come back to Pingtung to join the funeral. On Wednesday morning, my sister and I got up very early to take the train at 6:15. The train was vey comfortable and fast so we all fall asleep. After 3 hours, we arrived Pingtung. As soon as we left the train station, we saw that our parents waved hands to us. Then,we got in my father's car and chatted with them a lot. I haven't seen them for a month and I miss them very much.

All of my cousins and relatives came back to my grandparents' home, and we all wore black clothes to show our sadness. At about 1:30, the funeral started. We saw that our grandmother lay on the bed, and then we talked to her because it was the last time that we could see her. When we talked to her, everyone cried except me. I didn't why I didn't cry, but I just didn't want to cry. As I saw them cry, I feel that they were phony. Before my grandmother died, some of them seldom came to visit her, and they even did something bad that made my grandmother feel sad before.However, they cried loudly in the funeral. I didn't know what to say, but their behaviors were strange to me.

Jamp! Boys

After taking many exams, I felt relax and went to libery to watch a movie called "JampBoys".It's a story about seven boys who try hard to make their dreams come true. Those boys are only seven or eight, but they all want to be good gymnasts. In order to join a compitition, they stay in the school to practice gymnastics everyday during the summer vacation. No matter how tired they are, they still keep practicing it. In the end, they win the national compitition and make their dreams come true.

I was touched by this movie because of those boys' courage. Some of them are not good at studies, therefore, they are very shy in the class and seldom talk. However, when they practice gymnasts, it seems that they are confident and active. For them, the most important thing is to be a good gymnast. In order to reach their goals, they will try it again and again even they get hurt or don't have any energy. Before practicing gymnastics, the instructor will help them stretch. One of the boys, 小恩, can't bear the pain. Everytime he has to stretch, he will start to cry. However, he will practice it after crying.

I really respect those boys. When I was as young as them, I just played everyday and never thought about "dreams", but they have had their dreams and tried to make them come true step by step. I felt shame because I was so different from them.....

The movie also talks about the story of the instructor, who is also a good gymnast and join many internatonal compititions. He started to practice gymnastics when he was ten, however,he gave it up after he entered junior high school. He said that it was too tired to practice it everyday and he just wanted to play at that time. After many years, he regret and come back to practice it again. He thinks that people who have patience can success in the end. Also, he believe that some of those boys will become good gymnasts in the future.

After taking the exam of English Literature, my friends and I went to 新社 immediately. The weather was very good, and we chatted with each other happily.When it was about 2:30, we arrived there. Because we haven't eaten lunch, we decided to go to a restaurent, named菇神. In the end, we ate a hot pot.

There were a lot of mushrooms in hot pot, and it was really delicious.

Later, we went to 新社花海. As we arrived there, we were excited and felt relax. There were many different colors' flowers, such as white, pink, red, and yellow.

Also, there were many lovers, and it made us feel a little sad, ha ha ha.

We took a lot of pictures, however, Claire thought it was boring to take beautiful pictures. Therefore, we started to take some pictures with strange poses.It was really embarrassed because many people were keeping looking at us.

This week

This week I was very tired and busy. Because I went home last weekend, I didn't study hard but watched TV and chatted with my parents all day. In fact,I knew I should study, but I was too lazy and really wanted to relax.Therefore, I had to keep studying this week in order to pass the exams. However, I was upset because I did't like all the subjects that I studied. For example, I was not interested in English Literature. I didn't understand the meaning of stories and I considered them as boring stories ...

On Wednesday, I felt more upset. At first,I thought that we wouldn't have any test today, but I was wrong. Morever, I got poor grades. It made me worry about my exam next week. Furthermore, we had to study two novels for the exam, and I spent a lot of time reading the first novel. Therefore, I didn't have enough time to read the second one. However, the teacher changed his mind and said that we should only read the second novel for the exam. It really drove me crazy!

Today, when I went to PE class, the teacher told us that there would be a Japanese joined our group, so he hoped we could told him the rules and told him what we should do during the class. Because he could only say a little Chinese, we talked to each other in English.In that way, I felt that the class was not PEclass but English class.It was really fun.
