Compare And Contrast Living At Home And In The Dormitory (final)

Sometimes when students study far away home, they have to live in the dormitory. I have been living in the dormitory since senior high school. There are so many differences between living at home and in the dormitory. I think the main differences are privacy, convenient and the family's company. The dormitory is a public place, so you do not have much privacy here. You have to share space with your roommates, so you have to keep your own place clean and organized every day. It is very difficult to live with a roommate who has bad habits. For example, I used to live with a person who smokes inside the house. It is always a bad small around the whole place. Living in the dormitory, you can not do anything you want just like you would do at home. Listening to music loudly or walking around naked is not allowed in the dormitory. Living at home is much more convenient than living in the dormitory. You have to wash your clothes every two or three days when you live in the dormitory. Sometime when I was too busy and I forgot to wash my clothes. I have to wear dirty clothes to school. Getting something to eat is another thing you have to care about when you live outside. The restaurant inside the school is cheap and delicious. But the food there is always the same. It will make you feel gross when you keep eating the same food. Students who never live outside might think that living in the dormitory have more freedom because their parents are not here. But I do not agree that. Sometimes when I were in trouble or got sick, I miss my family so much and I wish I can see them immediately. But it is impossible because my home is so far away from me. And it is always a lot of work to do when I try to go home on holidays. For me, living at home is much better than living in the dormitory. You have more privacy, conveniency, and the most important, you can see your family all the time.

free writing: online dictionary

Sometimes I do not get the right word to discribe the meaning I am going to express, I use online dictionary to look up a better word. I know it is a little bit lazzy, but you have to admit that online dictionary is more convenient than regular one. I often use this website "onelook". It is different because the website will check the word you want to look up in several other dictionary and list the meaning. It is really usefull when you do not know what the word exactly means. Hope this website can really helps you.

The Da Vinci code #2

"This is the concierge, monsieur. I apologize for this intrusion, but you have a visitor. He insists it is urgent."

"這裡是門房，先生。很抱歉打擾你，但是你有一個訪客。他說這件事非常緊急。"

Langdon still felt fuzzy. A visitor? His eyes focused now on a crumpled flyer on his bedside table.

Langdon仍然覺得暈暈的。訪客?他注意到了放在床邊桌上的一張皺皺的傳單

THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF PARIS
Proudly presents
AN EVENING WITH ROBERT LANGDON
PROFESSOR OF RELIGIOUS SYMBOLOGY,
HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Langdon groaned. Tonight's lecture-a slide show about pagan symbolism hidden in the stones of Chartres Cathedral had probably ruffled some conservative feathers in the audience. Most likely, some religious scholar had trailed him home to pick a fight.

Langdon 呻吟著。今晚的講座也許讓一些在觀眾裡的守舊派感到生氣了吧。可能是一些迷信的學者為了要跟他吵架而跟蹤他回家。

"I'm sorry," Langdon said, "but I'm very tired and-"

"不好意思，" Langdon說，"可是我很累，而且…"

"Mais, monsieur," the concierge pressed, lowering his voice to an urgnet whisper. "Your guest is an important man."

"先生" 門房向前靠近，壓低聲音的說 "你的訪客是個很重要的人"

Why did I choose my major?(Final)

I chose CS to be my major because it is interesting, useful and popular. There is a story about how I got into this field. When I was about to enter senior high school. I got a low score in the entrance examination, so I went to a vocational school instead of a normal senior high school. At that time, I chose CS only because of scores. I am glad I was pretty lucky. A randomly chosen area that I did not understand at all became more and more charming during learning it. When I was entering university, I got another chance to choose my major again. At this time, I chose CS because it is interesting, useful and popular.Let's talk about how I feel about computer. I love playing games, especially PC games. When I am free, I can play PC game all day although it is not healthy. Computer is just like a toy for me, a really complicated toy. I build it, I use it, and I fix it. It is very cheerful when you build a computer all by yourself and it works. You know you can do so much interested thing with this new toy. Computer is so interesting that I want to know anything about it. When I saw the computer for the first time, I thought it was just a big game machine because the only thing I could do with it was playing games.

The most popular usage of computer is surfing the Internet.

Today, there is at least one computer in most of the families. Because computer is so interesting, useful and popular for most people. I chose Computer Science to be my major.

The Da Vinci code #1

Robert Langdon awoke slowly.

Robert Langdon慢慢的醒了過來。

A telephone was ringing in the darkness--a tinny, unfamiliar ring. He fumbled for the bedside lamp and turned it on. Squinting at his surroungdings he saw a plush Renaissance bedroom with Louis XVI furniture, hand-frescoed walls, and a colossal four-poster bed.

在黑暗中，細細的、不熟悉的電話鈐聲正在響著。摸索著床邊燈並將它打開之後，他瞇著眼環顧四周，發現自己身處於一個充滿路易十四風格家具，手繪壁畫以及大床的豪華文藝時期式房間。

fumble 摸索
Squint 瞇著眼看
Renaissance 文藝復興時期
fresco 壁畫
colossal 巨大的
four-poster bed 有四根柱子的大床

Where the hell am I?

我到底在那裡?

The jacquard bathrobe hanging on his bedpost bore the monogram: HOTEL RITZ PARIS.

掛在床柱上的浴袍上印有HOTEL RITZ PARIS的字。

jacquard 花布織機的
bore (bear的過去式) 印有

Slowly, the fog began to lift.

慢慢的，他想起他在那裡了。

Langdon picked up the receiver. "Hello?"

Langdon拿起了話筒回答。

"Monsieur Langdon?" a man's voice said. "I hope I have not awoken you?"

"Langdon先生"，一個男的聲音說了，"希望我沒有吵醒你。"

Dazed, Langdon looked at the bedside clock. It was 12:32 A.M. He had been asleep only an hour but he felt like the dead.

頭腦仍有點暈眩，他看了床邊的時鐘，當時是晚上12:32。他只睡了一個小時，但他覺得他睡的跟死人一樣。

A interesting word---sleeping policeman

Sleeping policeman is a cute word I found in Interent. Guess what it means. Can not do it? OKAY, There is some tips.

1. It's on the street.
2. People tend to slow down when passing it.

Do you think it is the speed detection stuff? No, the answer are wrong. It's the rubber bump on the road to slow down the driver. Is that cute? A policeman sleeping on the road try to make driver slower. HAHA.

There are some pics of sleeping policeman.

the person that I admire

I admire my parents because they are always care about me.
They call me every day to ask me how I am, expecially how I eat. Everytime when I pick up the phone, they will ask "Do you eat already?" or some kind like this one. It is very heart-touching.
If I got sick, they would be very upset and they would try anything to make me better.
My parents is one of the most great parents in the world.

Important Skill

If you want to be successful, I think the most important thing for you is to communicate with people. The way you talk plays a key part when someone wents to judge you.

When you have some thoughts or ideas in your mind. You have to express it to the other person. otherwise, the ideas means nothing. You have to express it correctly and clearly, so the audience can understand.

There is one time, when I was doing my final report of a very important subject. I had prepared for a long time for the report, but I just couldn't open my mouth. I just couldn't speak a single word because I was too nervous in that time. In the end, I got lower grade than others in my group even though I had prepared the longest time.

The reason I took this course is also that I think the weakness of communication is the problem I have to face soon or later. I decide to work on it from now on, and I will keep doing that.

I think the skill of communication is very important for a person to learn if he( she) wants to be successful.

introduction

Hello, everyone! I am monkey!
My friends call me that because I looks like. Be free to call me that.
I am a normal college student major in Computer science.
My favorite sport is basketball. In fact, I am a menber of basketball team of NTUST.
What would I do when I was free? I guess I will sit in front of my computer just like now, and keep surfing the Internet for fun or playing games. Sometimes I will go out to play basketball when the weather is fine.
English is the most important language in the world, I think. It's a good chance for me to practice it.
Have fun!
