In The End of This Session


I have been to America like two months, and the first session is going to finish next week. I thought the University of Delaware was a nice place to study. Because of cold weather and country location, I felt you couldn't do more things, except studied at home. Similarly, the University of Delaware was a good location in the eastern coast of America, so you could take trips to New York, Washington D.C, or Philadelphia.
Now, I felt my English have a lot of improved during this session. Because I have learned too much English in Taiwan but I didn't organize it, I thought my English wasn't advancement. I have joined a English speaking club to practice my speaking, but there are nobody to correct my mistakes in my speaking. I just didn't be afraid of speaking English; However, I couldn't learned many more here. After classes of a session, I learned to organize my English, and the teachers helped me to correct my mistakes. Now, I need many time to practice my English and make my English better by the sooner the better.

Valetine's meal in Kitchen Class


On monday dinner, we had a valetine's dinner with some classmates, they were Kitchen Class students. During the meal, the teacher taught us about table manners and date notice. We ate bread, salad, lasagna and velvet cake during dinner. It was really interesting to me. I liked bread, salad and lasagna but desserts. Because desserts are sweet in the USA. I thought Valentins's Day was a special day for American because Chinese don't celebrate the day like Valentine's Day.

Cocolate Truffle on Valentine's Day


Before Valentine's Day, I went to Superfresh to buy somethings for my meal. while I looked for some ingredients between aisles, I saw some chocolates over there. Suddenly, I thought that Valentine's Day would come, so I bought some chocolates to make chocolate truffle. I mixed with chocolate, heavy cream, and alcohol to be the chocolate truffle.

Blizzard or snowstorm @@


Today is a sunny day, but the day before today that was a snow day. I stayed home and watched TV online whole day. I watched "Avanda" and the american dramas "Chuck" that were nice dramas i thought. We went snow fighting yesterday, and it was cold and frozen outside. But there are many nice snow view and a little bit hot now. It is really different to Taiwan, because it is never snow in Taiwan, except of hailstones. It happened in a sunny day, my mother drove in the going home way. Suddenly, the hailstones fell down. It was too dangerous to drive on the road, so my mother stop driving and saw the hailstones. The hailstones just happen 5 minutes, but it shocked me. It was a special experience for me.

About Me

In 1985, there is a baby whose name is Allen was born in Taiwan, and it was a sunny day too. I was grown up in a small family which have 6 people over there. I have a grandmother, parents, a younger brother and a younger sister in my family which is friendly and kind family in my mind. I am delighted to born in this family.

The report---The Card

Denry Machin, who is the main character in the book, is successful in his life, and he takes adventage of all opportunities in his life. If I want to be successful in my life, I need to be clever, good-looking, kind, hardworking and good lucky.
The main character takes adventage of all opportunities, and when he meets any problem, he doesn't lie down and give up. Furthermore, he has a lot of luck. However, "opportunities are given to people who are ready to go." If you don't prepare anything, you cannot take adventage of opportunities. If Denry didn't learn to dance before he went to the ball, he couldn't dance with the countess as well as a professional dancer. In my mind, luck is important, but preparing is more important.
My father always tells me that there isn't any bad luck; especially, you don't do anything without thinking. I think it is right. Because when we do anything without careful consideration, we will fail in the end, and we always say "I am unlucky." It is an irresponsible action, so I always think a lot before doing anything. All successful people in the world have some similarities. First is responsibility. Second, they never give up. Finally, they are lucky and take adventage of opportunities.
I can learn a lot from this book and think a lot of things for myself. I have to replenish many skills for myself in order to take adventage of opportunities.

Washington DC


Yesterday I went to Washington DC to visit the museums. It was a snowing day and a cold day too.I went to museum with Mr. Christ and my friend. I saw many things like the movie "night at the museum" and learned a lot of stuff over there. I watched the IMAX which was a 3D movie in the museum. I have been to Natural Museum, Space Museum, Native Amirecan Museum and White House. Washingto DC was too big so that I didn't have enough time to visit all museums. But I will visit it some days.
