A Unforgettable Experience/draft 2

About ten years ago,I went to polish the window as usual in school. Due to the strict rules made by my teacher,we all did so hard that we wouldn't be punished. However, something unforgettable thing occured one day. While I was polishing it, I saw there were many dusts full of the chink. Being a responsible person, I managed to clean them by twisting myself as a worm. I was proud of myself after cleaning it. But when I wanted to come out, my head got stuck between the window and rail. I was too scared to calm down, and I couldn't help but to cry. Hearing my crying, my teacher came to see what happened. She went to ask the school worker's help in a hurry after seeing my condition. Meanwhile, some of my good friends burst into tears for fear that I would die. About 10 minutes later, the school worker came to my aid. He pulled rails out and saved me. What was a close! If it had not been for his help, I would be dead then. Now, I go out with my elementary's friends to talk about the old days once in a while. Although they make fun of me for it, I don't care at all. Because in the spot, they worried about my conditon and cried from heart. I truely believe no matter what will happen in the future, they'll support me forever.

Autobiography/2-Draft Three

In the present time, I am studying in the Department of Applied Foreign Language in Tainan Commercial Vocational Senior High School. In the first year, I joined a Japanese club because I strongly believe learn more languages can benefit an English-learner like me; therefore I am going to take the Japanese professional test in December,2008.Moreover, when I was a second grade, I took part in the contest of decorations of bulletin board,and we got the third place. I found that one of the essential factors to win this is teamwork. Last but not the least , I took responsibility of class-leader in my first year of senior high. The experience not only made me become a confident person but also helps me know how to build up a good relationship with my classmates by communicating.I determine to keep learning language after graduating. Hopefully, I can do well on the Joint Entrance Examination to colleges and I can have a steady and high income job in the future. To sum up, all I have to do is study even harder.

Making Decisions-Draft 2

Growing up means making my own decisions. In my childhood , I didn't have to take responsibility for what I had chosen. As the time passing by, I'm not a young kid anymore. As a result, I won't regret and should be responsible for what I have decided.

The hardest decision that I ever made was whether I should go to a senior high or a commercial senior high after graduating from my junior high school. Having thought twice, I took a commercial senior high school for the choice. There are some reasons for the decision. On the one hand, my score was not good enough to enter a good public senior high school, so if I insisted on it, I had to go to a private one. However, it must be a huge burden to my family. On the other hand, I have a poor ability on math. If I chose seinor high, I would be unhappy during all of the 3 years. Hence, I entered Tainan Commercial Vacational Senior High School. I firmly believe that I won't regret my choice . The campus, teachers and classmates are marvelous, so I am delighted to walk on the right way.

Computers-Draft 2*1~2*
Computers are playing an important role in our daily life. With the help of them, we can get the latest fashion, news and weather reports no matter when and where we need them. Also, many artists and writers can do the data collections in order that they can find the brainstorms from it. Asaid from used in works, it’s also used in entertainment. For example, we use it to do shopping not only because the price is cheaper but the speed is faster. We use it to play games, watch films, and chat with others as well. As a result, I can say there’s no doubt that we can not live without computers.

Personally, I have a liking for computers. Although it probably hurt our eyes, the computer benefits me a lot. For one thing is it can help me make more friends through the Internet. In addition, I can relax myself by listening to music, shopping or everything I like to do in my leisure time. Also, it can save much time to achieve my goals easily. But the most important factor for me is it can increase my knowledge. In such a hurried society, you’d better increase and absorb as much knowledge as you can.

Antobiography/1-Draft Two

About 17 years ago, a cute baby was born in Sinying, Tainan county. That's me. I'm Chou Chia-yu. There are 3 people in my family. My mother is considerate, but sometimes she is strict with me. Because I grew up in a single-parent family, she was afraid that I would be a bad guy in the future. Due to her constant efforts in raising me up, I have a personality of responsibility. My older sister is a warmhearted girl. She usually helps the blind cross the road and gives cash to beggars whenever she sees them. As for me, I'm a responsible, hard-working and fervid person. I deeply believe that I can't achieve my goals without determination, so my motto is:”Where there is a way, there is a will.”
I like singing and learning something new in my free time. Singing songs can release my pressure, so I used to be a member in the singing club at school. Besides, I like to learn new things,such as designing homepage,for it can help me absorb the latest information in this society. On the other hand, I also do some outdoor activities like badminton, basketball and volleyball. Although I am not real good at them, I will try my best to practice because they are the best channel for me to relax myself well.

Translation-Draft Two

I have been in a busy school life. I was expected to enter a university when I was a senior high student. Moreover, the college entrance examination is a keen competition. As a result, I am forced to study day and night. The heavy pressures from school are indeed burden to me every day. That's why I'm always busy at school and home. In addition, I am also forced to give up my favorite extracurricular activities. I hope I can have a colorful school life.

Computers play an important role in our daily life. They not only can help students hand in their assignments rapidly but also help people send information in time. If you turn on the computer, you may certainly fall in love with it. However, be sure to remind yourself that you had better not spend much time sitting in front of a computer. Most parents don't like their children to depend on computers too much; especially the discussion on bulletin board is a waste of time.

Tips for Staying Healthy-Draft Two

So many people are very thin, but they still think that they are too fat, therefore they don't eat enough food for themselves, and some of them even don't eat anything or drink water in a day. Secondly, you must get enough sleep. In today's society, people always have many stresses and pressures. Above all, when you are a manager in a company, without a doubt, you will have many social appointments after working time, which is the reason why you don't have enough time to sleep. Thirdly, and most importantly, you have to find time to exercise regularly. Many people would say,"Come on! I don't have any free time to do this."But, if that's true, why do they have time watching TV or playing computer games? In my opinion, they are nothing but couch potatoes.

2007/2/17 Chinese New Year's Eve

It's getting colder and colder, and Chinese New Year is coming. Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's for certain that almost every family will get together on this night. Sure! So does mine.
About 5:30 p.m., I and my family went to my uncle's home to eat the grand dinner on New Year's Eve. After arriving, I found that we were the earliest to be there than the other relatives. Due to most of them live in the other cities like Taipei and Kauhsiung. My sister and I felt very bored, therefore we invited our uncle and aunt to play poker cards.(Hey, don't worry! It's just for fun, not a kind of gamble.)When we played it, the others were coming one after anothers.
As time went to about 7:30, almost of us had arrived, except my cousin.He lives in Taipei and he came here by his car, without a doubt, there must be a serious traffic jam. We all were too hungry to wait him, so none of us didn't disagree to start to eat.
There were many delicious food, such as rice noodles and fried chicken. Sure, the long-live vegetable, fish and so on, these kind of traditional food were prepared, too. We also drank champagne and beaune so as to celebrate the coming new year.Yeah, it's time to get red envelope. However, the uncles and aunts asked we children to talked about our new year's reservations before getting it. It's my turn," I wish everyone could forget all the upset things which happened last year, and all of you can do better on your own works and studies." after hearing this, everybody gave me a big hand and I got my red envelopes.
Although it's really a common reservation, it's just what I wanted to share. Finally, I also want to say two words to my class,"Gong Si".

2007/2/14 A Different Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day,but on such a day, I have a different plan. I'm not going to date with a boy;instead of my junior high classmates. That's right! Today is my alumni association of junior high.
About eight sharp in this morning, I woke up and I also woke my older sister up at once, because I wanted her to be my designer of the modelling on the day. After two and half hours, I looked myself by a mirror,"Wow! So strange. It looked not myself.",my sister explained,"Don't worry, because this's the first time you made up, so you had the common reaction." After hearing this, I looked myself again."Actually, It's not really strange, just a little change." I talked to myself.
Very soon, time went to 12:00, I rode my bike to the restaurant-Small Orange. After arriving there,I found almost of my classmates paid their attention on me. I felt very strange and embarassed, so I found a seat to sit quickly. Then, I asked my good friend why everyone looked at me like that. Penny, one of my good friends, couldn't help laughing out,"Hey, you made up, right? It looked good, but not like you, did you forget that you made up?","Oh, how could I totally forget this? No wonder I became the focus."
Everyone shared thier life during the years after graduating. However, I was shocked by a news that one of my classmates became our junior at school, that also meaned he now is studying grade one in senior high. By asking others, I knew the reason-due to he didn't approve on his study. In my memory, he's a smart student. Maybe he made bad friends during these years,so he became our junior at school now.Time went very soon, everyone finished their meal and we took some pictures then.
As I went home, I told my family about the classmate. They only taught me a proverb," Look before you leap. ", that's true! I think this is what I learned today.

Pollution-Draft Two
Nowadays, pollution has become a serious problem for three reasons.The first is the higher tech. Although it is very convenient and it can save more time for us, it also causes many pollutions, such as the air pollution, the water pollution, and so on. The second is the modern products like cars and motorcycles, they surely help us arrive in the place where we want to go in a short time, but it does also cause the air pollution. The last one is people's selfishness, as we know, many factories would release the polluted water secretly at night,and many people go the the place which is very close to them by their own car or scooter, not only because they want to save time but they don't care about others feelings. In the long run, I want to tell everyone, in fact, many pollutions can be avoided by we humanbeings, just see if you want to do it or not.
