My biological clock

My biological clock
One year passed through quickly, I will be a sophomore after a long summer vacation. In last year, I met many new friends, new teachers, and learned many new things, but my biological clock is in a strange way. I always go to bed at 1 or 2 a.m., it is harmful to my liver. The Chinese medicine has a statement that our circulation of blood will through our liver from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. But, we always played games, watched movies or wrote some paper in this period of time. I think I should adjust my life style; otherwise my liver will be bad.

many complex structures of heart

many complex structures of heart

We have learned many complex structures of heart. They are atrium, ventricle, innominate artery, left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery and so on. I think I can enjoy in the memory process, because these structures are essential for all of us to become a good and professional doctor. We have to know these parts and when we operate a surgery, we should use these information rapidly and fluently.

A biology project H. pylori

A biology project H. pylori

Recently, our biology teacher gave us a project to take a deeper look at the H. pylori. It is a bacterium that causes gastric cancer and gastric ulcer. The reason is that it can secrete three types of chemical CagA, VacA and Urease. CagA can activate IL-8 and cause inflammation and finally cause gastric cancer. VacA can cause apoptosis and trigger cell damage and T cell inhibition. Urease can trigger gastric ulcer and eventually lead to gastric cancer.
Although these complex mechanism made me upset, these are important in clinical treatment for a doctor. So I have to remember all these processes and teacher will give us a final exam.

endless tests

Final exams are coming soon.
We have many subjects to read. There is English, Chinese, chemistry, biology and so on. I think I should stay up late to prepare these endless tests. I want summer vacation, air-conditioners, ice cream and so forth. If I successfully passed all of these subjects, an endless summer vacation will come to me.

A Good Lesson

My mother and I both like shopping. Last Sunday, we went shopping at the night market because there was a big sale. We walked there since it was not far away. By the time we arrived, the street was already crowded with shoppers looking for bargains. Despite the great crowds of people, we felt excited about shopping in such a place.

We came home loaded with things we had bought. My father complained that we should not buy things on impulse. Both of us were so happy about our new clothes that we ignored what he said. However, when we tried on the clothes the next day, we found that not all of the clothes fit. We were both upset about it, but there was nothing we could do. We learned a good lesson about buying things.

There is a speed limit

This morning I woke up very early; I did not know what to do. I saw my watch it is four a.m. I opened my door quietly and went out of my home with the key of my father’s car. I drove my father’s Benz with excitation. Because it is four a.m., there is no car on the road. I drove the car faster and faster, suddenly when I saw a sign said, “There is a speed limit.” Then I saw my speed board it said 140 km per hour. Oh, no.

I think I should eat instant noodle for a period of time.

When I feel lonely

When I feel lonely
Many people today claim not to feel lonely because they always have so many things to do. For some, there is never enough time to make money. For others, there are so many appointments, dates with friends and social occasions that there just isn’t time to feel lonely or board. For students, being board or feeling lonely can make them guilty. They know they could be studying. With all these things to occupy us, having spare time can seem out of the ordinary, and that can be what we regard as loneliness. The best way to avoid loneliness is to cultivate a hobby. For me, playing the piano is the best way to relieve loneliness. I like to create new songs. With just a little effort and imagination, the feeling of loneliness can disappear.

The situation of Myopia (Nearsightedness) in Taiwan

The situation of Myopia (Nearsightedness) in Taiwan
Introduction: Myopia is a disease common in Taiwan.
The thesis statement : the main idea of the essay is the importance of protect eyesight.
Background paragraph: the definition of Myopia is nearsightedness. It is a common disease in developed country. Because in developed country, people have more chances to use TV, computer and so on.
Body paragraph: methods to protect our eyes are balanced diet, appropriate time of using TV, computer, and see the doctor in a period of time.
Conclusion: degradation of eyesight is irreversible; therefore, good methods to protect eyesight is important.



Myopia from Greek, also called near- or short-sightedness, is a refractive defect of the eye in which collimated light produces image focus in front of the retina when accommodation is relaxed.(Larkin GL, 2006).
Myopia is a common disease in Taiwan, because Taiwan is a developing country. TVs, computers, and many electronic instruments are rampant in every home. Consequently, the ratio of myopia in children increased rapidly. Methods to improve our eyesight or prevent from myopia are essential to modern people.
First, balanced diet is important. For instance, beta-carotene is an element which is essential for eyes and rich in carrot. Salad which contains carrot is good to patients who suffered from nearsightedness.
Second, appropriate usage of eyes is necessary. Parents should limit their children’s time of using TVs, computers.
Third, visiting doctors in a period of time is necessary. Sometimes, we used our eyes in a long period of time; our eyes will be tired and have a syndrome of pseudo-myopia. If we go to see the doctor in time, our syndrome of pseudo-myopia will disappear soon.
Another syndrome of eyes is glaucoma. It is a disease that the pressure of eyes increased rapidly and steadily. If we did not see the doctor in time, we probably may lose our eyesight.
Consequently, if we want to have a pair of good eyes, we should follow the rules strictly. Most important of all, degradation of eyesight is irreversible; therefore, balanced diet, appropriate time of using electronic instruments, regularly visited ophthalmologists are indispensable.

jazz piano

This summer vacation I want to learn jazz piano. The inspiration of this idea is that I saw the movie “piano player in the sea.” The black man in this movie played the jazz songs with joy. I like this kind of relaxing style. I think if I added this style of music into my creation I will have various tones.

scorching hot day

Today our PE class is basketball class. It is scorching hot, but we still have to attend the class. I played basketball with my classmates under this bad condition. I almost can not see things when I played five rounds of games. I will not played basketball or others under this scorching sunlight anymore.

Hot summer day

Hot summer day
Sumer is coming, it is very hot outside. It is a good time to swim. Of all the sports, swimming is my favorite. Firstly, it is beneficial to my health. It can make me stronger and more energetic, and help to keep me slim. Besides, it is a good feeling to jump into the cool water on a hot summer day.
In summer vacation, when I was a senior high school student, I get up early every morning and go swimming in the swimming pool in my neighborhood. During the holidays I like to go to the beach. Swimming in the sea is more fun than swimming in a pool: it is not as crowded, and with all the waves, swimming in it is more challenging and fun.

medical music night

Music night
May 22 is the medical music night. It is a concert played by medical department only. I also played the piano at the medical music night. My song is a combination. It contains many sections with different styles, such as romantic and jazz and so on. I practiced very hard but I still made a small mistake when I performed the song. But many of my friends said it is a good performance despite of a small mistake. Some of my classmate even did not heard of the mistake. I think it is a good chance for me to performed on stage.

teacher

Number 34 and 84 have a same “teacher”. But he is not really a teacher he is a doctor. His name “teacher” comes from an original custom, because he taught us many things about how to be a good and welcome doctor in the hospital. He is a surgeon, I think his work is not only difficult but also makes people tired and full of pressure. He treats us in a fancy restaurant, and taught us many things. I think if we can hear his words, we will proceed in short time.

Absorption spectroscopy

Absorption spectroscopy
We have learned many new chemistry techniques recently, and one of them is absorption spectroscopy. Absorption spectroscopy is a useful tool for performing both qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis on solution. A beam of light is passed through the sample and a plot made of the amount of light absorbed as a function of the wavelength of the light. The wavelength of maximal absorbance are, like melting point, characteristic of particular molecular species. They can be used to identify unknowns. The amount of light absorbed is directly proportional to the concentration of the absorbing species. It can be used to determine the amount of a species present in the sample. The absorption of light by molecules will only occur when the energy of the incident light is the same as that of a possible electronic transitions depend on the kinds of bonds present, it is possible to analyze the structure of the molecule by determining the spectrum of absorbed electronic energy.

Chemistry equilibrium

Chemistry equilibrium

Recently, teacher taught us about chemistry equilibrium. One of its main applications is ion exchange chromatography. Chromatography is a very common technique in the chemical laboratory and perhaps the most important technique we will learn in this course. There are many different ways to do chromatography, two of which were presented in Chemistry. The power of chromatopraphic techniques stems from the ability to separate materials based on rather small differences in chemical or physical properties. We saw how thin layer chromatography and paper chromatography rely on differences in solubilities to achieve separation. With this experiment we can see how equilibrium chemistry can be used for the same purpose with the technique known as ion exchange chromatography.

Dissect a frog

Dissect a frog
Recently, we have the biology experiment class in which we should dissect a frog. Although it is not smells good, we have to keep our experiment proceeding, because it is a good way for us to be better. In the future, we have to do the surgery. Frog dissection is a preliminary class for all of us. We should make good use of this chance, and be a excellent doctor in the future.

free writing

Today is my mother’s birthday. She is a talented woman. She can not only play the piano but also write articles. She have been studied music department and communicating department. I think she is a gifted mother. She taught me sing when I was a little boy. She tells some story of musicians to me before I sleep. Everyday she take me to school by car and send lunch to me. I love her very much. If I have accomplishment in the future, she is the first person I should say thanks. Because I can’t achieve my goal without her support and encouragement. Of course, I will return to her in reality. Now, I should study hard and take care of myself. After I graduated from medical school, I would give fifty percent of my salary to her. My dream is to let my mother do whatever she likes when I can afford, because she sacrificed so much just in order to provide me everything needed, and it’s my turn to play that role. If possible, let me be your mother in our next lifetime, and I love you so much that I don’t even know how to express my love to you. In my mind, Mom is the angel in my life and the favor for me.

A wonderful experience

A wonderful experience
One night at 4 a.m. I can not fall asleep so I walked out and got into my father’s car. I did not know where to go so I drove my father’s car directly to a straight road and I speed up to 140 km per hour. It is a weird but wonderful experience.

Ability to remember things

Ability to remember things

Recently, I found that my ability to remember things is better and better. One thing improve my remember ability is that our biology has many information to remember, another thing is that out beautiful English writing teacher gave us a chance to remember definition of outline, summary, and many structures of an essay. I should thank my teachers giving me some things to remember because as a medical student or doctor, ability to remember things is essential.

Trip to ba tou

Trip to ba tou

We will have a trip to ba tou next week because we have to help people there. We probably went to there and cleaned the environment, or help the lonely old men and women. I think helping others is an indispensable characteristic for us medical students. I think it is a good chance for us to progress.

Modern medical history

Modern medical history

We have a class called modern medical history. It is a class introduces many modern doctors. Such as Maxwell and George Mackay. They are both priest, one from Canada and another from Scoland. They do many things for Taiwan people and did not want the payment. A famous surgery Dr. David Landsbourough even went to the middle part of Taiwan despite the bad condition there. Although he came down with malaria and finally die there, his name will be script in people’s mind forever.

Modern Chinese literature

Modern Chinese literature

Recently, we had the modern Chinese literature class. In this class, teacher taught us many new concepts about how these authors wrote their articles. Lu shun is a well-known author in this time. He wrote many articles to criticize the fool of people in old age. For instance, people in old age discriminated women. They dispelled women from doing many things. Many well-educated people stood out for these women. Lu shun is one of them. I like modern literature, because it is a new form of art and gave people a refresh feeling.

Music night

Music night

At May 22 we have an activity called music night. I will play the piano. Recently I practiced very hard, regardless of the coming of midterm exam. My score of biology midterm exam is very bad, because I spend most of my time listening to music and playing the piano. I will played a song combined with different style. It contains classical music and modern music.
I will practice harder then before, so that I can perform well on May 22.

my birthday

Today is my birthday. My mother bought me a big chocolate cake. She told me that I should be more mature and tolerant to some things. I should think for others instead of my own.
My relatives also came to our home to celebrate my birthday. I felt I was so lucky to have such good parents. I will repay their effort when I have ability to earn money.

swhizer's grangdaughter

Today CGU invited the grand daughter of swhizer to give as a lecture.
In the beginning, we saw the introduction movie of swhizer. Subsquantially, swhizer’s grand daughter started to give her speech. He is the model of medical students, so we are paying attention to his grand daughter.
But, she always saw her papers. I think it is not a good way to convey her idea. Swhizer’s spirits should be conveyed by heart not by papers.

Girl friend

Recently my “girl” friend want to see me again. She have not been to CGU before. She lived in sing-droung, so she did not know how to come here. May be I should take her by car here. I think she may be want to celebrate my birthday. Know, I am puzzled because CGU is a boring place.
Most important of all, she is my “girl.” friend not my “girl friend.”

Red alert

Recently, my roommate introduced a new game to me, it is red alert 3. It is a game about wars in 1990 to 2000.
I think it is a good way to relax, because the sound effect is extremely well-designed.
Although playing games is happy, reports and books are also essential.

Nobel

Recently, our biology teacher gave us a homework. “Nobel prize.” group project. I think it is a good chance for us to improve our English reading and biology ability. Our topic is “olfactory receptor.” It is the Nobel prize of medicine in 2004.
I think it is a chance for us to broaden our mind. Nobel prize has became a common sense for medical student. When NTU medical students are still playing and idling away their free time, we have progressed to a higher level of biology knowledge.

musician

I love music very much. I think I could not live without music.
Sometimes I can spend five or six hours just listening music without doing any other things. I think I can be a talented singer or music worker if I enter Taipei Hwa Kang Art School.
Since I have entered CGU medical department already, music can not be my profession.
I really want to know what my life will be if I enter Taipei Hwa Kang Art School.

Happy

We have few classes this semester, so I attend many new clubs. For example, I learn guitar, tennis. I also join volleyball team and piano club. I wanted to have a more colorful college life.


Although we may be very busy when we are third or fourth grade, we did not have any pressure now. I think if we can make good use of this good chance to make our life more colorful.

My leisure-time activities

I have no set schedule for my leisure-time activities. Usually I do whatever I feel like doing when I am not busy. Playing the piano is not only relaxing, but also exercises my mind as well. Reading novels does the same thing for many people. Riding my bicycle gives me good exercise and relaxes my mind.
It is simply amazing how some people can waste so much of their leisure time idling about. If we are careful about using our leisure time wisely, there are many activities that can both relax and stimulate us.

Strolling in the rain

Strolling in the rain is a romantic thing. It can make forget something unhappy. I always enjoy walking in the rain for it makes me feel refreshed.
While strolling in the rain, I usually imagine that I am a poet for I would very much like to write a poem praising everything. Sometimes I wish that I were an artist so that I might paint a picture to describe what I see.
I do not enjoy running in the rain. However, leisurely strolling in the rain can give me a lot of pleasure.

A sudden rain

Yesterday the weather was really beautiful and warm. The sky was cloudless and there was no sign of the rain at all, so I did not take my umbrella.
However, as I played basketball on the school playground, the sky suddenly became darker and darker and the wind began to blow. A few drops of rain fell and my classmates and I ran to seek refuge.
In the future I shall always carry an umbrella with me everywhere I go.

spring

My favorite season is spring. In spring the weather is mild and the days become longer. Animals awake from their slumber and the plants and trees once again reveal their beauty. This beautiful and natural scenery always fills my heart with joy.
I like to play outdoors on spring mornings. Insects fly to and fro in the garden while birds sing happily in the trees. My favorite springtime activities are jogging and mountain climbing. In spring, I always in a good mood.

chemistry

I love math and chemistry when I am a senior high school student, but I hate them know. Recently, our chemistry teacher gave us some chemistry homework. I found it is not easy, and its numbers is hard to calculate. I think I am lucky because I chose CGU medical school instead of National Taiwan university engineer department. If I go to engineer department, I should read math and physics everyday.
Conversely, I love English and biology know. I do not know the reason, but I really fall in love with English. Perhaps I was influenced by my beautiful English writing teacher.(these are the words from my heart.)

self-introduction

My name is Frank, and my Chinese name is Panyueh. I am a outgoing and athletic person.

Because I like to talk to others, I have ever joined the speech club both in Chinese and English. Sports such as baseball, basketball and swimming are my favorites. I joined the basketball team when I was a senior student. I like music as well, such as jazz, blue or pop songs. When I have free time, listening to music can relieve my pressure. Sometimes, I can use my music knowledge to create some new songs, and then played them by piano or cello.

My family is harmonic. My father and mother are teachers, so they taught me many things when I was a little boy. I am so lucky to have these parents.


My English is not very good, but I like it. I participated in the conversation club and reading club last semester. This semester, I also want to take part in movie club, because it is intriguing.
I want to sharpen my English and hope that I can express my viewpoints to foreigners fluently.

If I can utilize my time appropriately, I think I will have a colorful and brilliant college life.

piano

My mother is a piano teacher. She teach classical piano for many years. I am her student, too. Because of this reason, I have learn piano since I was a little boy. But I am a lazy learner, I do not like to practice. When my mother taught me about basic rules of playing the piano, I do not want to hear her. Consequently, I did not play the piano very well. I hated piano when I was ten years old, and I swore I will not touch the piano for ever.
Things changed magically. One day, when I finished the entrance exam or JCEE, I saw the piano there. Suddenly, I had the desire to play the piano. Without the pressure of my mother, I played the piano with joy. Because of my innate music ability, I played the piano very well.
I created many new songs with my feeling. Now, I play the piano delightedly. I love music, I love piano, too.
