1. According to the Harvard study,I agree to his point because I think humans are group animal,we can't live only by ourself.
2. I'm not surprised with Dr.Robert's finding,caz ,on the other hand,I think the things he said which is absolutely right.
3. I think the happiness of a person is from there friends and family ，just like the research from Ted talk speaker which we can find out, the people who has a lot of friends, as they get older and older,then, it turns out a result which is they are happier than the people who lack of friends, we can give that phenomenon which is so-called lonely elder, when a person very rich but they have no friends, we can quote a proverb which is "so poor that there is only money left ",the better condition is along with money until they die,however,the worst condition is died before using the money we earned,which is totally not worthy,maybe some people will say,how can we have a great life which fill with happiness but lack of money,this problem should depend on the definition of happiness of each person,for example like me,I think that the main purpose of happiness isn't how much money I have earned instead how many friends I have,the definition of happiness of each person doesn't have truth or false,only has whether suitable for that person,thus,we should realize how can we get most happiness in our own life which can make us having a satisfied life.

I think I am not a procrastinator since I was borned,but,it is not all the things I can do or finish it on time. For example like something related to associated with other people, not just stranger even my closer friend, I always think maybe I could do it later, because I was afraid to communicate with others which means I has gotten used to doing things in my own way.However,it was only happened before senior high school, after 15 years old. I decided to change my own habits,one of the biggest reason is “學測” which is the most important entrance exam for college was coming,so,I have to learn how to arrange my time in appropriate way, otherwise I would be delayed with my busy studying plan. In fact, it is hard to be a non-procrastinator person,thus,I have to focus on everything in detail, check out all things on schedule, I knew it was a challenge for most of the people, because everyone is lazy in nature, there is a word which is called "self-discipline”. It is a tough work while I was learning how to manage my time in a effecient way,well,there is no successful thing without undergoing some tough works,finally,I find out why we should learn to be a non-procrastinator nowadays.

Transportation problems and suggestions in Taiwan

I born in Taiwan and I have been living here in most of my life.Thus,I definitely realize that our both train and high speed rail system have some problem which we should be improved or something like that.
I mainly have two points.
First,I think some train station should be renovated like the station in the rural area,because I have gone to some station in Yilan or Hualien in almost 10 p.m and I thought wow here is so dark,which means it is horrible if you go to that kind of station in the night.so,I think the local government may solve the problem first to protect our safety.
The second problem is on high speed rail,we know that high speed rail is convenient and efficient way to go to south of Taiwan except by airplane.However,the expensive ticket price is still a big problem on high speed rail.For example,if you are taking one way to go "高雄" which is almost $1600,it isn't a affordable price for many young man even office worker,a lot of people choose to take the train rather than high speed rail because of the price even if they know that it will spend much time on transportation.Thus, I think the government need to think how to lower the ticket price and to appeal more people who can afford the reasonable price.

Q1 :Are the speaking and listening tasks difficult for you?

A1:I think the speaking task is more difficult than listening for me, we can not say lot of English in Taiwan because our native is Chinese which means we don't have a English environment in our daily life.However, we have many resources about English listening such as some Podcast or some well-known  listening APP like TedTalk and Six Minutes English,we can listen to English in any time we  want,that is the reason why probably we could listen  when a foreign speaking to us well but we always can't express the things we want to say fluently.

Q2:  What are the challenges you often face when you listen and speak in English?

A2: I have been learning English for almost 12 years since we were child.I definetly had met a lot of problems in speaking or listening,the biggest problem in listening I think is we couldn't hear every words clearly which made me confused me because I didn't know the sentence mean even the word mean.In speaking part,I think the problem which is lack of confidence,I usually know what I want to say to people but I scared to say the wrong sentence or word which is a bad habit because if I don not force me to be brave to say something in English,I will never improve my speaking skill and never know what problem I have.

My new plan this year

Wow it is so fast that the summer vacation was done last week.

Sep 9th is the new semester beginning day which means I officially become a sophomore student from now on.

Because I am getting older so I have several plans to do,I estimated that there are about three main plan I supposed to do in this semester.

First, I want to become more strength because I stayed in USA whole summer and I saw a lot of people are strong in there,thus, I decided to become as strong as them even if I know that is not a easy thing but I would like to try it.

Second, I have to keep my grade in the level but I attend many activity this semester so I will do more harder on every classes to make sure I realize every content teachers teach us in the class. 

The last plan is the most important plan which is to make more friend,learning how to social with stranger and new friend because I definitely will go to find a job after I graduate from school and how to social with each person would be a obstacle if I didn't learn since now,so I have to force me to learn and to improve which would be a benefit with my career.

These are my initially plan this semester,hopefully,I can fulfill every plans I list on this blog.

my comments
I think if a teacher wants to educate a successful kid in school, testing all day isn't a great idea which means score can's determine anything.In generally,some kids are good at art but they're not good at science,however,some kids are reverse condition.Everyone has their expert field, so school teacher have to lead kids to figure out where their field is and try to encourage them to learn new things,I have a good proverb which can quote with today's topic ,leave and learn which means "活到老學到老",
