Midterm Week

Midterm week is coming again, and it makes me very nervous. Everytime I study hard for the exams, I always promise that I will study harder so I do not need to stay up late before the exams. However, I keep beig lazy again and again. It is my bad habit... Anyway, most of my classmates are stressful during the midterm exams, and it seems that we all care about the exams very much.

On Saturday afternoon, we joined an English camp held by Monica's club. There were many situations and we played the different roles. For example, I was a waitress in the restaurant so the students had to learn how to order the meal. Most of the students were very cute and polite, and some students' English abilities were very good. It was very amazing for me to know that they have learned English for many years. One of the students, who is eleven years old, told me that she had learned Enflish for six years. I felt unbelievable because I started to learn English when I was eleven. Anyway, time has changed. To sum up, I found that I enioyed being a teacher. When they concentrated o in teh class, I felt satisfied. Maybe I can be a teacher in the future :)

Mountain Ali Day2

In order to take train to see the sun raise, we got up at 3:40. After washing face and brushing teeth, we bought the breakfast and went to the train station. Many people took the train with us so we had no seat to sit on. Luckily, it only cost five minutes to arrive the site. However, as soon as we went off the train, we felt worried that we could not see the sun raise because the weather was very strange.

We stood and waited for the sun raise. At first, the scene was all dark. As time went by, the sky began to change its color, and we all expected the sun raise. However, everyone gave up after waiting for 2 hours, and so did us. Although we felt a little sad, we still think the scene was beautiful.
We walked in the forest.The air was flesh and we felt very comfortable. It was really good to walk in the mountain in the morning :) Coming back to the hotel and took our package, we went to 奮起湖.

奮起湖 is a historical town. There were a lot of old buildings. When we walked on the street, we felt that we were in the 1950. We ate the most famous meal box-railway meal box. It was expensive and very not very delicious :( Anyway, when we came back to the train station, my cousin took me to go around and Cindy went to Kaoshioung to visit her cousin.

Mountain Ali Day1

We started to walk in the mountain. The weather was really cold, but the scene was beautiful! Because of fog, we could not see the road clearly and it seemed we were in the paradise. There were a lot of thousand-year-old divine trees, as we walked in the forest, we imaged that we were Snow White who lived in it, but we did not have prince to protect us...

After we walked for almost two hours, we felt hungry and wanted to eat some food, so we bought some Japanese Tempura. Unfortunately, it was not delicious. We also went into a temple to pray. We wished our journey would be safe, and our families and friends would be happy and healthy forever. At about five o'clock, we were tired so we came back to the hotel.


Before we went to hotel, we bought some food. Frankly speaking, the food was very expensive!!! We havd no choise but to buy it because there were a few restaurants. We also saw starbucks there, and we all thought it was really strange to drink starbucks in Mountain A-li. In the end, we came back to hotel and ate dinner. After taking a bath, we went to bed at nink o'clock because we had to get up early to see sun raise.

Mountain Ali- Day 1

The spring vocation is coming! My friend, Cindy, and I have waited for the vacation for a long time because we all want to go travel and relax in the vacation. After discussing with each other, we choose Mountain Ali to visit.

On Thursday morning, we took train to Chia yi at 7:30. As soon as we arrived there, we went to buy the train tickets to arrive Mountain Ali but they were sold out. Therefore, we had to take the bus to Mountain Ali. Unfortunately, the bus tickets were also sold out. In the end, we had to "STAND" on the bus!!! At first, we thought it was OK, moreover, there was a seat which noboby sat on so we sat in turns. However, after two hours, I started to feel dizzy so Cindy let me sit and then she stood.
Unexpectedly, Cindy also felt uncomfortable and even vomitted.

After three hours, we reached Mountain Ali. When we got off the bus, I felt much better but Cindy was still uncomfortable. Besides, she was very hungry. After eating some noodles, she got energy again and we went to the hotal to put our luggage. Then, we walked in the Mountain Ali. The weather was very cold and foggy, so we could not see the road clearly. However, we found the Mountain Ali train station very soon and bought some postcards. After leaving the train station, we went to the post office immediately and sent the postcards. The post office was very specil because it looked like a temple. Also, ther were many people who wrote the postcard there. It seemed that everyone wanted to share his happiness with his friends.

We all expected to see beautiful cherry blossoms, but what we saw were withered flowers. Because of rain, the cherry blossoms dried up sooner than before. Maybe we should go here earlier......
