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.
