One Of My Friends
I have lost contact with many of my junior classmates. Luckily, I came across my junior schoolmate's mother on the street three days ago, she had become so thin and skinny, but I could still recognize her. She was suprised to see me and she gave me my classmate's phone number. I called her that night and she told me she had a 12-year-old boy, but she is jobless now.When women grow older, the competitive ability becomes weaker. The empolyers prefer to hire younger and engetic empolyees. Once you get older, it is hard to find a good job unless you keep progressing. We had a long talk that night and I realized how difficult to survive in today's society. You never know what kind of boss you will meet. It is hard to define a good job. Everything has two sides and we need to learn from the positive side. Although I am not satisfied with my current job, (people are always not satisfied), I told her I will keep trying to do my best. I had a good time talking with her on the phone.

You can burn incense at the temple.
*Keep suggesting yourself and it will change somehow!
She has dark circles under her eyes.
Charlatan: pretend to know something
Narcissist: a person who has the habit of always thinking about himself or admiring himself 自我陶醉者
* Don't just take my word for it. You should go and see for yourself.
* Can you squeeze me into your schedule?
Can you fit me into your schedule ?
*She felt pumped up after training. （pump up-> motivate- energetic)
My muscles flaps. 肌肉下垂
I felt like a million buck.
The odds of this happening are one in a million.
They like to stash money, cookie in the drawer. (Stash-hide something secretly)
I am temped to watch TV on weekends.
She indulges in Shopping sprees.
She dropped a bombshell that the company is bankrupt.
Waver: To be uncertain / unsure/ or falter
He wavered between accepting and refusing
When she heard the news, her courage wavered.
I had a hunch about some numbers, so I am going to play a lottery ticket.
It is only a matter of time before I get over this.
I found myself watching TV all night till the wee hours of the morning.
I found myself talking on the phone till the wee hours of the morning.
I am very remorseful for what's happened; it is not in my nature to do what I did.
The court absolved her of guilt in his death.
The priest absolved him and hold him to say ten " Hail Marys"
I absolve him of all responsibility.
They beseech to go at once.
" Don't kill me, I beseech you."
He got me off the hook.
My boss will not let me off the hook until I fix the mistake.
Hard work will make up for a lack of intelligence.
*conceived= pregnant
* cataract (n.) 白內障
* Glaucoma (n.)青光眼
It really worries us that we will lose such a good customer like you.

Honesty~ Billy Joel
Honesty- Lyrics
If you search for tenderness, it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfullness, you might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever hard
And mostly what I need from you
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
Until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know
When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned.
I won't ask for nothing While I'm gone
But When I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because You're the one that I depend upon
If you search for tenderness, it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfullness, you might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever hard
And mostly what I need from you
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
Until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know
When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned.
I won't ask for nothing While I'm gone
But When I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because You're the one that I depend upon

~ 05-20-2008 ~ Taiwan's new president- Mr. Ma Ying Jeou
Today in Taiwan a new chapter begins. Mr. Ma becomes Taiwan's president in 2008. In his inauguration speech, he mentioned that Taiwan is the place where his family member buried.
He also mentioned that we need to put our safety , self-dignity first when negotiating with China. We all hope people in China can provide a more flexible diplomatic room for Taiwan to survive. If you treat your bother like a brother, then you should understand that your brother also desperately needs supports, friends both in financial, health care, encouragement and self-dignity as people in Sichuan province . We don't want to be isolated from this world and we don't want to be hurt ruthlessly, either. If there is really any mistake we did before, at least, you should talk to us how to work to meet both sides' satisfaction, not just threaten, despise, forbid, reject, refuse or destroy our ways to grow up. Life is short and time flies. Sticking on the weakness or shortage may make you happy for a while, but it won't benefit each other. And it is just temporary happiness for you to revenge. In your mind, you are empty and you make the other party lost. Helping each other to grow is the way to make this world peaceful and prosperous. Seeing so many tragedies took away some many lives that makes us realize the value of lives. How to value, cherish and find out the true meaning of life is more important than how much you earn, how rich you are, how powerful you can be or how competent you thought you are!!

2008(CS)Savior of a lost art
Savior of a lost Art premiered at Cannes on Sunday and it was well-received.
Steven Spielberg said: "This is a recreational activity for me". He treats his movie career as a hobby, not a job, so he enjoys his hobby-his movie career, just like we enjoy learning English.
Spielberg's movie used to be a big box office hit. Therefore, people have higher expectation, which might appear to be a giant boulder bearing down on the director. Gary likes the first installment-Raiders of the lost Ark lot because it makes his heart raised. Spielberg's movies are usually huge, costly, dauntingly complex action movies. Because the franchises were so popular that people , all over the world, asked Spielberg to make the another Indiana Jones-the four installment-Savior of a lost art.
