Merry-Go-Round

I still remember that when I was little, our family went to an amusement park located in Taichung. Before I got into the entrance, my mom told me that you had to walk along with me lest you should get lost. Therefore, I really took heed of what my mom was told by not detaching myself from my whole family. Upon entering the amusement park, every kind of facilities caught my attention. Nevertheless, some roller coaster rides frightened the pants off me so I didn’t have the courage to get on them. The best choice for me was the merry-go-round. As I straddled the fancy horse, I was totally losing myself in the fantastic world. Not only did I really have a good time staying in amusement park with my family, but it also gave me a truly memorable childhood. Now, I am overwhelmed with those innocent and pleasurable day of early childhood. For me, the amusement park is filled with rejoicing that can make people carefree and joyous. Once you are in the park, the bright energy that the park gives you will absolutely release your original pressure and create an unforgettable and irreplaceable recollection for you. If there is a chance for me to go to amusement park again, I will absolutely try to ride thrilling roller coasters and maybe merry-go-round as well to recall my good times.  

My Roommates

My Roommates

        I have four roommates. One of them is Lena, my classmate. The rest come from another department, yet we still have good relationship. Our dormitory life is not tedious at all as we share something interesting with each other from time to time. We always have a lot of topics to chat about. There has been so many stupid and funny things happening between us. I still remember that one time one of my roommates didn't bring keys so she asked me for help. Moreover, one of them once has found out that she forgot to bring her clothes to the bathroom before she took a shower. Sometimes we stay up late together, so at last we don’t go to the class on time. All in all, if I don’t have these roommates, maybe my college life wouldn't be colorful. They are my beloved roommates, and undoubtedly they are my close friends as well. For me, it is what the friends are for.

Movie reflection- Akeelah and the bee

       

       Hello, guys, I want to share a movie I have seen before with you. It is called Akeelah and the bee. 

Actually, I have known a little about the spelling bee contest before because I have seen in the news that a little boy won the competition. At first, I thought spelling is a plain and effortless thing. Nevertheless, the movie changed my viewpoint for spelling. Only when I watched the movie, did I know a spelling contest story alone can touch my heart deeply and make me moved to tears.  

Akeelah is afraid of others calling her pedant so she is not willing to participate in the spelling competition. However, she has a passion for spelling. I think everyone might have met the kind of inner struggle in our lives. In my opinion, we don’t have to care about other’s sight as one day we may have lost self. Why not just choose your life and live up to the ideal of yourself?

I learn a lot from the movie especially the words that coach asks Akeelah to read. When she reads these words, the rays from the sun light up her face. Each word totally inspires me!!! Here are the touching words.

A simple competition can change the people around Akeelah, such as her brother, mother, friends, Dylan, Dylan’s father and so on. Her constant efforts and the help from others are the key point that contributes to a great success. Never giving up and never caring about what others say. Just do yourself! It implies that as long as we try our utmost to achieve the goal, to realize the dream, we can get to the place we want eventually. The Akeelah’s success maybe inspires us to catch our dreams and create our own glories.
