    Recently, I spent my money on many necessary and unnecessary things. This causes my purse became thinner and thinner.  

    It's not my fault... I need a new handbag to put my textbooks and notes, so I ordered one from the "buytogether" column at the BBS.  The mother's day is coming, so I bought a cute necklace and some masks of a famous brand as Mother's Day presents for her. Anything else? Of course, I bought some writing tools and other sundry goods from the e-shopping website in the public of Koera, some necklaces I like for myself, and something cute to handle on the cell phone. Thanks to my cash-book, I know that I have spent about $1000 on them-almost one third of my living cost.

         What are your toys in your childhood? Are they just computer games? To be honest, computer game indeed plays an important role in most of our childhood in recent years. Can you imagine what children played fifty years ago when there were no computers? Looking back at the early years of Taiwan, children had the sharp observation power and simple but sincere creativity. They were well adapted to search their environment to find some discarded rubbish to design their toys. All these toys combined their vast imaginative power. For example, Foot Shuttlecock is an interesting traditional game. It is considered that Foot Shuttlecock was derived from an ancient Chinese soccer game called “Chu Ju”. People often bought live chicken from the market and killed it in the kitchen on traditional festivals during rural agrarian times. Children would not give up this opportunity to get some long feathers from the tail end to make a Foot Shuttlecock. It is not difficult to make a Foot Shuttlecock. However, if you think that it is troublesome to make the toy, you can spend only ten dollars to buy a Foot Shuttlecock. Foot shuttlecocks are played by kicking them up and down. It is an excellent device to train your body balance and eye-limb coordination. Does it sound interesting? Just give it a try!

Every time I read J.K.Rowling’s novel, I always wonder why Harry Potter books always go to number one in the best-seller list. I think that it is because that Harry Potter is a good fantasy book containing the usual elements such as magic, adventure, and wizardly creatures. In particular, it mixes the school with magic. Even though J.K.Rowling claims that she does not write the novels in view of children’s idea, it’s indeed that Harry Potter books appeal to children all over the world. Not just that though, but the books also contain issues that adults would face in real life such as death, problems with friends, troubles at school, rivalry and much more. As a result, it’s no wonder that the books have ended up appealing to a much wider audience.

In addition, J.K.Rowling uses lots of red herrings in the Harry Potter books. The red herring in the books always distracts readers from the original objective. However, I think it is also the reason why  Harry Potter books are so charming, for you can not guess the whole story in the beginning, and the ending is always interesting for a wonder.

Let me take a shortcut....XD (backup plan A)

Actually, now I'm supposed to write my argumentative composition, which is my plan tonight. But you know somehow you're not in the mood for the things that you've planned to do. So here I am. Still typing in English might soothe my guilt more or less.

There is an argumentative topic which has drawn my attention for several days. Should the medical students who studied in Poland take scholastic assessment tests before they becomes a doctor in Taiwan? It is said that these medical students in Poland got less disciplines to be doctors in comparison with the medical students in Taiwan. They spent only four years without any intern class to get the bachelor’s degree in Medicine. In addition, these medical students almost can not successfully admit to medical school in Taiwan, so they went abroad to study medical science in Poland, where they can admit to medical school more easily.

It is reported that most of these medical students are doctors’ children. One of these parents said that the courses that the medical students study in Poland are very difficult and this education can always enlighten their children. As a result, the government should not discriminate against their children and force them to take the scholastic assessment tests. However, some people said that what the parent said was not true. They found one of medical student’s articles from the internet and showed that it is impossible for these medical students to fail in any class because the examination paper is always the same every year. On the other hand, if what the parent said was true, they would not need to argue with the government for their children must have the capability of passing the scholastic assessment tests.

Last week I watched an impressive movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This film is a 2008 American fantasy drama film, based on the short story of the same name written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. F. Scott Fitzgerald states at the beginning of this story that it was inspired by a statement made by Mark Twain, that the best things in life happen at the beginning and the worst at the end.

In the film, the main character, Benjamin who looks like an old man when he is born. To his own amazement and delight, he grows progressively younger until he reaches the prime of his life and enjoys great happiness with marriage, children and a successful business. In the end of the film, he turns into a boy and lose all his memories. With his valentine’s accompany, he dies when his appearance is a baby.

    Recently, it is very common to see the collecting-exchanging activity held by the businessmen. By collecting the points, customers can exchange some useful and beautiful items, or have some discount on the merchandise they sold.

    Obviously, this is a way that businessmen cheers the customers to buy more things. However, what kind of items will attract people's attention and make them to join the activity? It depends on how they look, and their utility.
