Hello.

Happy New Ywar! I am happy now, because my family and I are going to shopping later. I miss my blog. By the way, I want to thank Jeff, my teacher, he is very considerate person. He made this class and told us to join this google blog. Thank you, my dear teacher!

A Poem Assignment.

http://www.americanpoems.com/poets/Maya_Angelou/13470
She is a writer, a poet, an educator. Her thought affects deeply in U.S.A.. The data is as far as I know.
The poem seems the leading role is proud of her family. Besides, I can tell there is a man loves a woman before, but he dislikes the woman now. The woman might be wife, girlfriend or hooker, because they had sex. From two sentences "You may write me down in history. With your bitter, twisted lies," and "I am the dream and the hope of the slave." I suppose she is his wife, and they are in a bad marriage. The husband is Chauvinist. After they got married, she was fed up his Chauvinist. So she had to fight it back, and in her mind, she also fought for all suffering woman. She woke up and fought it out. This is so far I observed.

Divorce.(Issue)

Divorce has serious negative consequences. First, social adjustment after the divorce is a troublesome time. The former couple often find that starting to date again can be nerve-racking. Also, married friends may exclude singles from social plans. Secondly, emotional difficulties among the original family members are common. Feelings of guilty, imagining that they were somehow to blame for the divorce. A third consequence is that financial adjustments are necessary. Alimony, child support, and property dispersal must be dealt with. Also, the high fees that lawyers charge can be a burden.

Celluloid Closet Questions.

1. I don't think they are crazy or ill. They just show themselves. They not mean it. In my opinion, the films describe so deeply, including their hearts, thinking and feeling. In fact, sometimes I can't tell who is homosexual or who is not, because they hide it from people, they are afraid that people know it. But in the movies, directors portray them deliberately. Let us know how they struggled and protest.
Gay will raise their little finger when they doing something like drinking or taking stuff. They not intereste in women. In other words, they tired of women. Women have not sexually attracted to them. However, they have girl ways. For example: they has own cute action, wear pretty clothing with many cool accessories from stem to stern, make up on their faces...etc. They have good innovation in art. Besides, they talk at girls with sweet smile.
2. I want to describe AMERICAN GANGSTER. They often gather on the corner or in public and sometimes have cigarette in their hands or mouths. They like to stare people down and chat always with bad language. When they say filthy language, they use hand motion. Besides, when they meet their fellow, they will make cool and quick hand shake. Moreover, they stand cool pose with their fellow. Like layback, cholo, kickstand...etc. They always break the rules. And they know how to rap. They don't afraid how people think about them. If anyone annoys one of the team, they will fight or kill the person. They talk loudly and brag about themselves or each other. They love to show them off.

Depression.(Issue)

Serious depression, as opposed to the fleeting kind we all feel at times, has definite warning signs. Some or all of these signs may be present within the affected individual. One symptom of depression is a change in sleep patterns- either sleeplessness or sleeping too much. Another sign is abnormal eating patterns, either eating too much or loss of appetite. A third sign is trouble in thinking or concentrating, even yo the point of finding it difficult to read a magazine or newspaper. Finally, a general feeling of hopelessness may signal depression. People feel indifferent to their families and jobs and may begin to think that life is not worth living.

Gay(Homework part 2).

!. If my only child is homosexual, I will cry. Why me! If I have two children, and one is homosexual, I would think I am lucky. Most Taiwan families are shy to talk about privacy. My parents seldom talked about personal privacy, too. I think they should have their own rights, because they are a part of Taiwanese. They just want to be themselves. They not hurt other people. Although their marriage bill is not passed, they still can adopt child. Nevertheless, the child may not accept the truth. Homosexual marriage is nothing wrong. It's a trend that more and more homosexual will come out. There is no more a secret.

2. The legislaiton got vote on, but it was not passed. In my opinion, if legislators enable a bill for homosexual, the WHOLE LAWS will be rewrited. Because they admit and accept homosexual, they should respond in it. Especially the aspect of marriage, and it's a big problem. Legislators would confuse how to write on every bill. It is complicating and confusing. I think it will be passed one day, owing to it is not a bad thing.

They participate in parades because they love each other. They have to fight for it. Why can't they get equal rights on society? Two people fall in love is their business. They just want public to respect them, so don't take them jokes. Be kind!

I am happy to attend this class.

Although I did not do those homework frequently, I am happy that I could attend this class and have time to write journals. Recorded my feeling on the blog is not hard, but I don't know whether I will keep writing after finishing the class. That is a quention in my mind. Now I should do another homework whiich haven't finished yet.

Mayday concert.

The concert is really awesome! I really touched. But I have to complain, the opening is a long. I haven't heard "MP"(Magic Power) this group. The group continued playing four songs. OH MY GOD! They confused me that who is the main point. And the next is Ring. She is unknown in Taiwan, but she made everyone high. All of Mayday's players are Taiwanses, and the band is famous in Taiwan. I am so glad that Taiwan has this kind of wonderful band, for real.

Happy New Year.

I celebrated the new year's Eve with my family, because last time I was with Blue Angel's Club including my boyfriend. I am happy today, owing to be with my family and my lovely dog. The dog is naughty, she mars many stuff. For example: eats plants, bites clothing, urinates on pillow...etc, she is very very cute though. The brand is Maltese. Abundant Taiwanese raise and like small dogs. I saw many stores raised small dogs in their shops to attract customers, and it really worked. But I think raise dog is a trouble, I may spend lots of time to take care of it. I can't afford it.

Don't tongue tie on occasions.(Issue)

Many people become nearly tongue-tied when they want to meet other people. For those of us who find starting conversations with strangers difficult, thefollowing four strategies may be useful. Notice that each is developed in question form, inviting the other person to respond. One approach is to introduce yourself, giving your name and asking the name of the other person. "Hi, I'm Ingrid. And who are you? " A second approach is to refer to the physical setting in a question. You might, for example, make such a comment as, "This is auful weather for a game, isn't it?" Aother approach is to give the other person a compliment and ask a question related to it. You might say, for instance, "Your braid looks great. Did it take long to do?" Finally, you can seek direct information from the other person. At a working gathering, you can ask such a question as, "Which department do you work in?" At a party, you might say, "Tom gives a really nice party. How do you know them?"

Don't push me.

I know I have a lot of homework to do. This week I have fun, but I really prepared so looooong. I burn the night oil everyday. This week, my two big clubs both had Christmax Party, it's really pity that whoever can't come here. If you were here, you could meet many new friends, play several games, and eat dinner for free. It is not just for fun, you could gain more comfort, love, peace...any warm feelings in the activity. Blue Angel Club is the biggest club in the university. Many participators say the club feels like family. I can firmly guarantee that you will definitely regret, if you have not participate the club's activity once in your university life. I am serious. Wish all my friends have Merry Christmax. Cheers~

Technology & Pollution.(Issue)

New technology often creates unanticipated problems. Automobiles, for example, provide numerous benefits, but they also pollute the air and kill about fifty thousand Americans each year. It is difficult to imagine life without electricity, but the generation of electricity pollutes the air and cause the thermal pollution of rivers. Insecticides and chemical fertilizers have performed miracles in agriculture but have polluted food and streams, even kill some lakes. Jet planes, while helping us in many ways, cause air pollution and noise pollution near airport.

Rehearsal.

This week, I have to go my clubs everyday and rehearsal performances again and again. I am exhausted because I went dorm room at midnight. I say "EVERYDAY" and "MIDNIGHT". When I went my dorm it's about 4 p.m., and I had to brush my teeth and clean myself up. You want to try? Oh! NO! Moreover, in the club, Many members like to eat food when they rehearsal especially at midnight. Don't they think they are harming themselves? I think they are not awared of it. I am a little bit tired now. So...see you~

My computer.

Originally bought my computer is my mom. Although I begged her to take me to pick it one day, she did not ask me what I want or took me to 3c stores. She might want to give me a surprise, and I was glad that my mom gave it to me before I had graduated from senior high. In fact, my computer doesn't work very well, and it works slowly. Therefore, I want to do part time job on winter vacation, and then I will buy another brand new computer for myself. Now I am typing this computer is laptop, and the brand is Clevo. It's infamous I knew, and it costed a little bit expensive. Maybe my mom did not know how to chose computers. As a matter of fact, I am happy and lucky to possessed my own computer.

Survey on happiness.(Issue)

An author doing research for a book asked thousands of Americans what made them happy. Among the popular responses she received were: eating sandwiches and candy, being offering a football ticket, and visiting city parks. Other specific responses included eating ravioli, feeling the cool underside of a pillow, and rereading old love letters. The most frequently cited response was simply spending time with family. Almost no gave the answer of owing shining jewelry, cool cars, or other fancy things. The author concluded that most of the things that put a smile on our face are simple and free or inexpensive.

Today I interview with my teacher.

It's been a long time I have not chatted with my teacher. It feels so good after talking about myself so much things recently. I talk away with her. In my leisure time, I have to deal with my club's things. Besides, I spend lots of time on surfing internet. I think in this modern world people spend much time on internet because it's easy to get any information. It's obvious that we can not do so much things without computer, right? Come back to the subject. My teacher suggests me that I be a tour guide, my mom had ever told me it, too. I had ever thought it, but I was not sure. I will think about it.

My Favorite Place(Composition).

Many people have their own special favorite place, so do I. My favorite place is a funny big place that everyone must have been there once or more in their life time. Besides, it costs a little bit expensive. Guess what? Yes, the location is amusement park. I really love to go amusement park, most of all is it can make me really happy.
Everyone loves their secret favorite place, and definitely has some special thinking. The following is my explanation I gave. Since I was a little girl, I frequently imaged that I lived in this spot. If I really live in this amusing spot, I will invite my best friends to come. I love the place for the first reason is that it looks like paradise and palace as well. Second, although it seems like palace, it doesn’t have various rules. It can make me play extremely wild instead. Next, this place is so funny that can make me gay and surely stay there all day long. Last, each amusement park has its own individual performance which you should watch when you were there. Finally, their mascot, which they design it lucubrating, is cute, meaningful, and has its history. In fact, I certainly enjoy watching how mascot peculiar they are. It means the spirit of the park.. That’s all reasons above.
Wrote a lot in front, but in short, amusement park is absolute my favorite place, on account of its paradisial, funny, and distinctive aspects.

Gay(Homework part 1).

1. I few contact with gays or lesbians, but I do meet lesbians when I was a senior high student. The friend confessed she was a lesbian when I asked her, and she doesn't afraid her parents knew it. Besides, she already had girlfriend in the school. I could not understand why somebody want to love homosexual, it seems like abnormal in my head. I am willing to chat or play with them, but I can't image I would be their honey. If parents know it, I think a lot of parents still can't accept the truth. But in this modern world, they should accept it. Parents shouldn't limit their children's own thinking like before. Moreover, It's a little bit different now. Media and celebrity are willing to talk about it, and many publicity post it. Well, in short, we should not shy and hide it.

2. What happened to this legislation? A: the bill have not passed right now.
Did it get voted on? Yes, but it failed.
Many people suggest that homosexual live in Europe or America, but talk is cheap. That is a big problem. Lots of great bills are deal so long, so, the bill would be like that no doubt. If they want to marriage, they should gather themselves together and tell media or find some ideas, data to help themselves. "I think" it will be passed after few years.

I have a question. Transgender keep protesting and officers, even president, promise them to give them their rights, but I can not see any big improvement. That's weird! The politician of Taiwan is not honest and lying all the time. It's traditional. Hope Taiwan's future will be fine, sign....

Harvey Milk(Issue).<---Classwork

I never heard of Harvey Milk this guy before. When I heard this name first time in Jeff class, I thought it is weird name. After watching the documentary film, he made me very very impressive. By the time I was in my cram school, my teacher said homosex can inherit. What the hell, I don't believe it. Homosex I think it all depends on ourselves. You want to be what kind of person is your free will, no one can interfere in it. In this democratic world, various things can happen and we should accept homosex because they do nothing wrong. Besides, the homosex I have ever met I think they are easygoing. In my memory, most lesbian look really like boy and gay is not easy to tell sometimes. Gay is cuter than lesbian. I like to go along with gays, because they are really really really funny and easygoing. Like this kind of person I can not figure out why they love men. Some religion prohibit homosex has their own reasons, but it's hard for them to decide to whether worship it or not. They may struggle for a long time, hope religion will open a door for them.

Medical testing.

1. Medical testing is important. Although it provides for human, it tests on animal. It sounds so cruel and unfair, but we have to confess that we have no choice. If we don't test on them, human will be endangered today. Moreover, human is neither simple as animal nor allow us extinguishing like this method. Thank for animal, medical technology is better than ago.

2. I had reseached cosmetic articles on websites this summer vacation. Many notable companies's products don't have safe guarantee although their cosmetics are efficient. So it is glad to hear the websitehttp://www.leapingbunny.org/shopping.php Let's browse it!

3. Cosmetic has two parts. One is makeup and another is skin care. I think makeup is not necessary for human in fact, but we need is skin care products. Yet we know skin is important, and we have to protect it, especially it exposes in the air pollution. In addition, makeup's products are more dangerous than skincare's. In short, my opinion is makeup this part should not develope so that it would not make animal more painful. As a matter of fact, humanity is not possible to experiment abundant medical testing on ourselves in this democratic mainstream, it is illegal and inhumane! I do care about what kind of animals are used in experiments. Without thinking, the best choice of animal is mouse. choose it definitely has several reasons. One, mouse is cheap. Two, the disease is similar to human. Three, it can pregnant after three weeks that faster than human. Four, the gene order is near humanity. Last, it is convinient to get. That's all. The answer is clear as you see above.

U.S.A.

I really envy Americans. They can get abundant resources in the country. Recently I am looking for a movie called "Flannel Pajamas". I've seen its touching trailer, and I eagerly want to watch it. If anyone who know where can rent or buy it in Taiwan, please tell me. Moreover, I love numerous brands which belong to U.S.A.. I often watch many america clothing websites, and it's pity that the air package is very expensive and I not live there. Sad... I want to sleep now, see you~

Thinking of something.

Something makes me depressed today, maybe I am busy and have to deal with lots of things. You don't know how many things due tomorrow, you are not me. Besides, My family is in hospital now, and I really worried about her. I am going to see her this holiday; moreover, I hope she will be fine. Don't know how to start tell my friends to join our club activity, but I really want you to take participate in. Maybe you think it doesn't matter, however, I am eager you for joining my world. Yes, immediately. I want you, haha....

Sleepy.

You know what time is it? it's 01:23 p.m.. I keep typing this journal on my blog. I have not scheduled the activities this week. After I finish this article, I am going to watch CHU website. Thinking of this makes me happy, then I know, I will run to my sweet bed quickly. My boyfriend ever said that I always doing things slowly, I admit it. I know it, but I have no idea how to change it. Allow me to say that slow and steady wins the race. It is an advantage no doubt.

Whale wars.

I already knew the news when I was a young girl, but I never thought I would hear about the news now. Before whale catching industry, this world has motley whales. In the twentieth century whales have been wide caught, because human found whales have numerous benefits.
I think why Japanese do this thing, are not they ashamed? I want to tell them "you are losing your mind just for money and also losing your honor just for making trouble." Not only Japan but also other countries include Taiwan. I want to tell you, listen! When you are proud how strong your country is, don't you know how they earned this money, how they earned this fame? I know I will grow up and go to work, but I want to remind myself. Life doesn't aim at making money, it also have many worthy things to do. Hope I wil remember...

Concerned about judgement(attachment issue).

The judgement of Taiwan doesn't have any jury, it sentence only by judge. That's unfair. A bill should be discussed by everybody whom is related to the case, and let them say what they had experienced and their true feeling. Abundant bills may be punished wrong person because no jury, other witnesses to offer their opinion, or judge had been bribed. Usually if the case is big, judge would be bribed in Taiwan. Very little cops caught illegal things, chances are that they are already bribed by mafia, or they just lazy and afraid of interfering in things to get trouble.

Animal(ISSUE)

My point of view is Taiwanese rarely enforce these laws. Few people sue something so thoroughgoing like American. If one split a cup of coffee, no one care why the cup doesn't have warned its hot on the cup and tell us should be careful while we are taking it. These amendment is for whom know how to use it to protect and really love dog's person or institution. I not often saw wandering dogs on roadside in Taiwan, maybe they be caught by institution or be adopted by person. I don't know the wandering dog's real situation in Taiwan. But I guess if police saw wandering dogs, they will call institution to take care for them. By the way, it is infrequently saw cases on newspapers that concerned about dogs. Whether the amendment is for show or whatever other things, I am sure there must have someone to care about dogs. Because I know considerable people love dogs in Taiwan, and I really ever heard news of dog fancy. By the time I read the amendment, I had no suggestion about how to be improved the system. It could be improved by dog fancy or institution but not me.

Animal.

Oh! After I watching the videos, I think the dogs which live in America is better than live in Taiwan. I had watched this kind of the dog treatment in Taiwan videos while I was senior high student. My teacher often saved numerous dogs and raised them in the school. As a matter of fact, I seldom heard of dog issues or articles in Taiwan. However, I hoped I could raise one since I was young, but my father always said "we are live in department, and I have three daughters." The space is too small and he doesn't want to afford extra present and clean up all day. Now my older sister raise a cute dog. The dog costs ten thousand, I can not understand how dare she spent so much, by the way, she doesn't have any part time job. Although my father doesn't like dogs, he accepted it.

Warmth.

I often play my computer owing to it can make me warm. I love no matter where can keep me warm. I usually stay outside for a while to bask in the sun, or sleep in the bed with broadcasting songs. Although take a bath can make me warm, I think it a little bit waste time. I would rather stay in my lovely bed than take a short bath, because wash this action need to move and sleep doesn't. I really love warmth. Maybe I should emigrate to Africa, haha....

Sign.

I'm who I am. I want to be myself. Yeah, you are right. Don't think too much anymore. No one can change me so easily. I should be stronger. Yeah, I do it right now. I am independent. You taught me a lot, and I really want to change myself. Sometimes I doubt whether I do it right or not, sounds silly, right? But I really did. Since I learned from You, I have changed. Couldn't you see? You know one day I will grow up, right? Don't always tell myself to wait anymore. You know time can't wait, why I am always waiting for something miracle to happen? I need space and breath. See you~

I am happy today.

This day I go to nowhere, and have not many things to do. I like that. Leisure is good and relaxing. Recently my cell phone had trouble. The speaker made noise, and I had to find telecom engineer to fix. Then, something happened that all my phone book's numbers were deleted. As soon as I got, I was shocked and stared there. But luckily, I had not given my former mobile phone for my older sister. If I had gave the former cell phone for my sister and erased all sources, I would have called my friends to find another friend each by each. It will cost large money to pay although it is worthy to do.

Challenge Questions.

Last time I wrote the article online, but the connect suddenly cut out. I have to write it twice. besides, midterm exam is beginning, so I am late to put this work. OK! Let's started.

1. In your opinion or experience, why do some students chose to cheat? What are some of the different reasons students give? Do you know people who cheated in high school or college? (you can respond generally. I am not looking for names).
My opinion is that they haven't prepared already or they just don't want to study anymore, so the students decide to cheat in the big exam. But most of the reason is they haven't prepared enough and they just really don't want to fail in the classes. The second reason may they don't expect others to look down on them as a loser. If they were caught red hand, in Taiwan monitor commonly would not caught students who was cheating in the class and they would pretend to focus on other things, normally students gave excuses instead of truth. I merely think one excuse that they would give usually. The one is that "Not as much as you think, I just glanced at the paper once, ok?" They would say it in the right and self-confident way, seems like they were right. Seldom students would ask for evidence or witness. Wherever in the school or in the college, of course I have seen many students cheated. I was an informer, and I can surely tell you that I have cheated in classes is under five times in my life. Come on, I am not good at telling a lie. I know whom is usually cheating in many classes in the university and I think the classmates would often notice them, discuss them in their own privacy group. But in my opinion, people who really has capability seldom to cheat if it is not necessary.


1. In the US if you were caught plagiarizing assignments you would immediately be given a failing grade. You could also be immediately expelled from the university for "academic dishonesty". Since the reason you were expelled would be written on your transcripts, every other university you applied to would know you once got caught cheating. What types of punishment are generally given for cheating on exams or class work in Taiwan? Do you think these punishments are a sufficient deterrent to cheating? What do you think the punishment should be?
Oh! The punishment of U.S. is very nice, and I think it can be listed in the punishment items of Taiwan. But I heard Ruth have ever said that American students normally cheat in classes, not stick by the rule as our thought. The punishment by rule In Taiwan, if students cheat on exams, they will be recorded with two major demerit. By the way, if they get three major demerit, they must be draw out. However, teachers don't sentence them like that, they will ask them to clean bathroom, floors, or their own workroom on Saturday or Sunday. Well, how about the punishment of cheating class work? I don't know. I think few teachers caught the students whom cheated on class work, teachers did not often care about it. In short, this world are weird nowadays. Even in America, these discipline are not a sufficient deterrent to cheating. Maybe we could make the earth a little bit change from media itself or ourselves, although the idea of changing media seems impossible. Suppose I were the director of academic affairs, I will record it on diploma and leave a spare documentary on computer in the school. If some famous bosses knew it, they would make a right decision.


3. You will have to think creatively for your answer here: Even with the threat of severe punishment, the readings above indicate that cheating is still a problem. One reason is because students naturally assume they will get away with it and won't get caught. Therefore, severe consequences probably won't be enough, by themselves, to stop students from cheating (if you don't think you will get caught, it's easy to ignore the possible consequences). What can be done? What real solutions should be tried? Are teachers and students in perpetual race to see who can get trickier? What other solutions can be tried to stop cheating? Be specific with your suggestions.
(If this question is hard, here are some possible solutions to think about: reward students who catch their classmates with extra credit; expel students from school, forever, for the first time; hire detectives or student helpers to look for cheaters; do nothing at all; other creative solutions)
The cheating problem disturbed monitor for a long time; still, it's being thousand years' problem. It seems not possible to boil down. I think the real solution can be tried are first move to well-educated country or second to strict educate by their own parents when they were young. If the one who doesn't have the both environment, they just could depend on themselves or their friends. I should mention that environment is absolutely important which everyone knows it, but in many countries, even in developed countries, their parents or government don't care about it. Don't know why they prefer caring about how to make more money to educating their promising children. It's also weird that there always having students to cheat, even the test is open book in the class. Maybe they were not afraid of teachers or rules, or they don't think it twice before they leap. How to stop cheating? I have searched on websites, and list some suggestion to tell you. 1. Divide the exam paper into various versions for students, or random questions on the paper for them. 2. Put white paper on their desk insure that they don't write the answer on their desk(You have to take back afterward.) and ask them to take only one pen and one eraser for preventing they already write the answer on it. 3. give each one some different essay questions and let them open book. Furthermore, I think hire detectives to look for cheaters this idea is splendid.

What do you think should be the punishment for students who cheat in this class?
Answer: To minute his/her 10 scores at first.

It's possible that some students who have cheated in class may not have really thought about what they were doing and now regret it.
Answer: I think mere simple and honest Taiwanese will regret. Usually, if Taiwanese does cheating but doesn't be caught, they won't feel regretful. But I think they would feel guilty, indeed.

Should they be allowed a second chance to "fix" their mistakes? If so, what can they do to fix their earlier mistakes?
Answer: No, they should not be allowed. But if they still be caught, teacher should minute 10 scores again for the second time. They do it third time or more, you can fail them without thinking.

New conception: Life's stages is shaped by society.(Issue)

The stages of life, from birth to death, may seem control by biology. However, the way I think about life's stages is shaped by society. During the Middle Ages, for example, children dressed and were expected to act just like little adults. Adolescence became a distinct stage of life only fairly recently, when a separate teenage subculture began to appear. But in the Middle Ages, young people were "children" until about age 16. Then they went to work, married, and had their own children. Today, "young adulthood" has become a new stage of life, stretching from about age 20 to 30. As life expectancy become longer and people spend years in active retirement, older adulthood has also become a distinct life stage.

The penalty for student's first-time violation of plagiarism is a one-quarter suspension and 40 hours of community service. If the student is still caught but in final quarter of enrollment, the one-quarter suspension will be turned into two quarters.

2. The six possible punishments if you plagiarising at the University of Washington.
Correct answer: Disciplinary Warning, Reprimand, Restitution, Disciplinary Probation, Suspension, Dismissal.


3. Fired for plagiariam(three articles):

FIRST: a reporter for the Explorer, weekly paper in Arizona, was fired after he/she was found to have taken a story written for a journalism class and, with a few minor updates, passed it off as new work. Aside from the dishonesty, one of the problems was that the piece was outdated and therefore contained inaccurate information.

SECOND: The Ward Churchill academic misconduct investigation concerned charges of plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification against him who Churchill was a professor at the time. On May 16, 2006, the investigative committee released its findings that he had engaged in academic misconduct and had been "disrespectful of Indian oral traditions."
The University's Standing Committee on Research Misconduct decided that Churchill should be dismissed. Churchill has denied any wrongdoing, and has vowed to contest his firing in the court system.

THIRD: Papers submitted to Turnitin.com are checked against a database of more than one million manuscripts, which flags unoriginal phrases. Turnitin.com copies the student papers in their entirety to its database, which is a potential infringement of the students' copyrights. Such concerns lead officials at the University of California at Berkeley not to subscribe to Turnitin.com. This is ironic because John Barrie, the Turnitin.com founder, started developing the software upon which the service is based while a graduate student at Berkeley. Turnitin.com is growing rapidly; Mr. Barrie recently won a contract to serve more than 700 colleges and universities in Britain.

4. Opinion on plagiarism.

I have watched the website http://www.stanford.edu/dept/vpsa/judicialaffairs/students/plagiarism.cases.htm. In fact, some paragraphs I can't understand. Although each word is easy to explain, I just can't put them together.So, in my short opinion, there just a paragraph I want to talk about."A student turned in an essay that had substantial and extensive copying from a published source." and "He/She did not intend to plagiarize." This section, I think, which the student works so hard and denys that he/she doesn't copy, but the student really do it. If I were the student, I would have ordered the essay and written in my own words. It would look better

This day.

I wrote blog journal all day long. I feel little sleepy now. But I can not go to sleep now, wonder why? Due to the journal and test tomorrow. I will crawl toward my bed. I love this floor, it just can go down stairs quickly. I lived in second floor, how lucky I am, right? But I little bit want to move to the other room lately, due to my good friend. she lived in third level, I can accept it. However the dorm rule say that if the change's time is over, can't do it anymore. What a pity.

Is this world too over?

Over exaggerated, over makeup, over cruel, over endurant, over indifferent, over selfish, over ideal. Why we doing these everyday. Can't we simplify our life? Maybe media make the world go crazy, People go crazy, too. For self or for what reason, the earth is cold. It's true that plenty of people can't feel real love in their hearts. So please cut off your TV and computer, save the planet, save us, save offspring.... Make it warmer, love it more. Let's go, LET'S GO!

Recommend.

I love to listen Tank's album recently. He is Taiwanese. His songs are lively and the voice is very attractive. Recommend it for you. Today I attended an excellent oration. The speaker is Lu ta-tan. He really came to our school, surprised? It's a pity that who had not participated in this speech. Although he is a disable, he does not blame anything. He changed his life all by himself. Owing to he was poor in his childhood, and he worked extremely hard and has a smart brain. Even cut a sausage that he could think of cutting different shapes. He creates various products, and the products sale all the world. I think he deserved to be a boss or a chairman. More about him

The day I went HGSH school.

The school is located in Hsinchu. Our First-aid Club participated a fun competition of the school. We had fun time, and we won many prizes. The activity is for volunteer commendation which gathered all the senior highs and universities in Hsinchu this place. After commendation is over, all delegations started performances. The live scene was so exciting that we could not stop dancing. Everybody watched and swung. It felt good! Last program is an extremely fun competition. It has nine different games, and we got four prizes. Finally, we had got a runner-up cup. Joined this activity making me think of my life time in my senior high school. I miss the younger me, it's lively. I am merry today, and I will treaure it.

Touching movies.

I have ever watched "I am David", "Together","The notebook"(I cried every time when I watched),"Cape no.7"...etc. These movie as far as I am concerned, maybe I have not thought other touching movies yet. I think GUITAR has a fantastic magic, Owing to it can make people cry, laugh, happy, and sad....Many touching movies almost includes its melody. Simple and flexible. What areas of movie do I usually watch? The answer is Europe, America and the Middle East. It is time to go to bed, see you~

Sad about news from my father.

Last time my father phoned me. He said that he have resigned his job. When I heard the news, I was glad. But as soon as I heard he got another job, I was sad. I wished my father could retired, however, he did not. I knew he was devoted his life to make our family a better life. He is grand. My father really takes care of our family awfully well. Now I worried about his health, owing to the job is a midnight job. But most of all, I hope I will devote my life to make parents a nice life in the future.

Think of foreigners in CHU.

I often talk with foreigners in our university. Some of them speak Mandarin fluently, and they are not shy when they are chatting with our students. EJ corner is a wonderful foundation. It can make us meet different people and improve our speaking gradually. I make a few foreigner friends in the university, and I am really happy that I attend this great perfect school. The place offers many chances to touch any new face. Maybe just because I participate lots of activities, and it required progaganda ocassionally. My thought is not only progaganda can do it, but in any activity else can also achieve it. Who say that the private university can't compare with national university? You are wrong! It's about personal, isn't it?

The study of humanities(Part 2)

Humanities is an interesting study. It focusing on the human's esteem and worth. Sometimes we may ask God why we should learn it? I think is... First, it can make us realize how grand and deep it is in our mind. Second, let us think over the meaning and worth of our lives. Last, it can cultivate our characters and minds. What is real meaning of humanities? My answer is that MAKE THE WORLD PEACEFUL! Although it is impossible nowadays, but we can do it from ourselves. Besides, I think humanities, in the complicated world, is useful, because it also means capability in modern society. If you want succeed in your job, the most element is H-U-M-A-N. Promotion and salary relate to human. Humanities can make you more easier to get a job really.

Fire.(Issue)

Fire extended humans' geographical boundaries by allowing them to travel into regions that were previously too cold to explore. It also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. Fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. Other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. Probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the rhythm of their lives. Before fire, human daily cycle coincided with the rising and setting of the sun. With fire, though, human gained time to think and talk about the day's events and to prepare strategies for coping with tomorrow.

Women rights (Part 2).

I think because I do not touch the salary or maternity leave yet, I do not conscious the problem. After reading some articles, I realized the fact I will face in the future. Yeah, it's a big problem. I think women should be more independant. Why we are supposed to be weaker and not have self-confidence? Are you born to really weak? NO! So come on! We should change the history, and don't you notice the problem is better than ago? we should keep revoluting it. Let's look positive side, ok? Negative is nothing help in any thing.

Yes, I became fater this year. When I was first year in CHU, my waist was 25 inches. This year I am 26 inches. I had watched some higher grade students' photos, and found out they have ever slim. I watched their photos and laughed at them. Now I think I am wrong, and I worried my situation, too. I ate too much. Love to eat than ever before. I am going to work out these days. Come on~

Maybe it looks crazy, but why you don't know how treasurable it is. Any memory with my friends or clubs I want to remember. I am trying handling my time this semester. See you~

Animal prediction.(Issue)

Creatures that are very sensitive to the changes in the air before a storm changes in the weather. Birds, for example, sense the pressure change and fly lower. And then, indicate that rain is coming. Similarly, houseflies detect this change and move indoors to avoid the pouring rain. Moreover, cats are known to clean themselves just before a storm. These actions can be our reference to predict whether the weather will be bad or not.

This weekend I plan to go home but I didn't do it.

This weekend I could not go home, and I am original supposed to join first-aid basic training class(self-owned word). Finally, I decided to go Taichung to visit some friends. Oh! My God! The result is totally different. I have just been there once. Last time I went the place because my old sister studied there. This time the reason is my boyfriend and I want to go farther county. I found out that Taichung is paradise. On account of the merchandise, and I really enjoy their department stores. Especially, the product that Taiwan have not any agency to import. Oh! You definitely can not miss it. They often have on sale, and it is cheaper than you buy from any website. The other main point I love Taichung is that the view is beautiful. I've been dadu3(dadu mountain), and have memory a lot. Oh! I really treasure this trip. Good night everyone~

Sorry that I did not do the homework last week.

I don't know what's going on last week, and I just let it pass through. Why? Don't know the reason. Maybe I need learn how to control my own time. Not only me, but all the students in university. This week I revive, I think it's time to get my work started. so, see yu soon baby.

I went Leofoo today

Today I got up at 7:47a.m., and pick up my stuff hurriedly. went outside at 8:35a.m.. My boyfriend and I bought breakfast and junk food, and then took a bus toward the place. I am excited. Not only went there but also saw the view of my hometown. It's a natural paradise in Guansi. You should take a trip to go there... I want to say it's about time to go to bed, so see you next wonderful day.

Cultural gesture.(Issue)

In Bulgaria, one nods one's head for "no" and shakes it back and forth for "yes". If you make the ok sign in Brazil, with the index finger and thumb making a circle. It is not only not okay, it's very impolite. To show the bottom of one's feet to a Turk is a serious insult, implying that "you are lower than the ground I walk on." Throughout the Middle East, to offer the left hand in a handshake or to wave it at someone will offense him or her deeply. Frenchman wants to make a strong point, he waves his upraised index finger from side to side. In many Mediterranean cultures, men who are nonromantic friends walk hand in hand. And in America, a firm handshake and a direct look in the eye are expected when men meet one another. In many cultures, this would be considered very rude. Clearly, The meaning of body language may be different in another.

In my dorm

Little bit boring now. But I know, I should make it interesting. I am listening my favorite music songs, and singing loudly in my dorm. I revoked a piece of my blur memory. Since I was young in high school, I love to learn English. Owing to I had a excellent teacher who is named Lin Way. He studys English very extensively, and his teaching are flexible and fun. I always expect his class. Oh! It was a great time. I eager for singing now. Goodbye everyone~

My lazy day

I am lazy today. watching some blogs of my friends, and adding some comments on it. Recently I heard a news from my sister. She said she was baptized a christian, and I was real shocked. wow! Why did she decide to be christened? I think she must regard it for a long time. I respected to her. I have got two sisters, as well as they are both christian. I still don't know whether I want to be a christian or not. Although my sister took me to the church which nears my home, I just have not ever thought of it. I watched my sister's blog yesterday. she was glad that she did right choice. I was afraid of christian in the past, because they kept preaching to me. Often called me to attend their activity. Now I am not contact it, except my sisters. I feel not so pressured.

How to criticise sb. properly.(Issue)

Criticism is a valuable means of helping ourselves and other achieve personal growth. However, because it is often said carelessly or cruelly, criticism has a negative reputation. Here are some good ways for criticism properly. First, wait until the person asks for feedback on his or her performance or actions. Unasked-for criticism is not usually polite. Second, describe the person's behavior before you criticise it. Instead of just saying "It was awful." Tell the person exactly what you observed. And finally, try to balance your criticism with positive statements. Look for significant point in other person's performance that you can honestly praise.

How many languages I have learned in school?

I am in the dorm room alone, keep typing my journal. This semester, I learned another new language, French. I had read a book about living in Frace ago, and then I loved their living style and their characters. It is ridiculous, isn't it? Just watched one book could make me trust and love it, but it is true. Tell you a secret, I had learned little Japanese in my high school. My mom told me to resume it, but I like English better. I never regret chosing it. This week, I signed up an activity of EJ corner. One of the most stupidest thing is that I join a Japanese speaking activity. It was embarrassing, can you image that? Everyone said Japanese, but I could not. I will not do this crazy thing ever again~

Women rights(Homework)

Woman is equal to weaker sex is an old conception. I think women are more powerful and important in Taiwan nowadays. Lots of people like to talk about women than a man. We can see it in popular music lyrics that sing about woman, novels, and TV. Sexual common knowledge: man should protect woman instead violate us, lady first, we are born to dote, we ought to be independent...etc. Women are fortunate in Taiwan, really.

The study of humanities(Homework)

I think it's essential that people should study humanities, because it can teach us how to get along with people, enrich our mind. If humanities are not important, why our ancestors wrote abundant literate books, and effected offsprings so deeply. Why people has numerous feelings, and can't speak out. Why people want to find out how previous human lived. Learning humanities education is one of the most valuable educations indeed, because we learned how to get along well with any person in our whole life. You know that we can't be separated from people in the world. So, if you think humanities is not significant, you have not learned it yet.

Can't sleep at night

Insomnia is a very suffering thing. You know that feel. Since school opened, I could not sleep well at night frequently, but a awful thing is that I got up early. Very afraid once I slept, I would miss several classes. I hypnotized my myself or tried reading books, but it could not work. I did not want to see a doctor and take the medicine. I am supposed to relax once in a while. Maybe the best way to make me sleep is that listening English tapes, just kidding.

murmuring

Sign~ Why life time goes so fast? I just did a piece of little thing. Ok! I admit firmly that I don't know how to handle my own time, I should grow up. I am glad that I have such a super bravo boyfriend, he can control his time. I am eager for his all wonderful capability. Talk about another thing, I never say that I love to hang out with my friends, but I really like it. Sometimes I stuck in doing club chores, I hope I join just one club.

About your BEAUTY(Issue)

This summer, I had been studying some popular beauty websites and books.I found that many people use abundant toxic chemical on face.It sounds terrible, right? But it is truth.In Taiwan, all cosmetics are cater to our consumer. For example, you should notice the package writes does not mean it has the ingredients. And no matter what production, female and male can both use. Any suncream can cause cancer.All queations you want to ask, I recommend two websites that you will find out by yourself.

Jangmi Typhoon

I am tired recently, on account of Jangmi Typhoon and my sickness.If I had known the typhoon stronger than ever before, I would have come home immediately. These days I could not go around, I was lying on the bed all day long. No one care about me. I ate one meal per day. The dorm room black out often, and the hallway black out, too.

Do you know why second life have over 15 million people to play?

Second life is a interesting issue. Because it is a 3D virtual videogame, like a extremely real world that we are amazed it. In the virtual world, we can go anywhere, meet any people if we want, and be any kind of person that we long for all the time. Besides, we can spend million dallors without thinking due to we can earn money easily. Even we fail, we can play it over and over again. Don't reckon the burden. So once people play the virtual videogame, they may sink into it. Not play 3 hours as you think but more. In short, it is most attrative game in the world.
