Spoken (Slang) English

      This week, I watched a few movies and I learned some spoken English that I do not know before...

       "I'm gonna head out " .... I think most of non-nataive speakers like me will misundersand this sentance, it means...

A Real Story Film

 
    This film is based on an incredible true story.  A girl loves surfer and she was a champion surfer, but she lost her arm in a horrifying accident by a shark.  It is a good movie about the bravery as well as courage of teenager people. And it is very engaging and points heartwarming.  

Are you seeing someone?

   
     “Are you seeing someone? “ If your answer is, "Yes, I see my friend over there.” or, “I look forward to seeing someone."  There is a big misunderstanding for the question. This sentence is asking about your relationship, not asking about which one you have seen or will see...

A Season Greeting letter

 
Dear Jhed,

     How are you? This is the first time I write a letter to you.  I guess you will be surprised when you receive this letter. Because you never know I can read and write in English.

The middle Exam

       Our horrible middle exams were finished in the middle of November.  Most of classmates had felt anxious about the first time exams since left school for many years. On the other side, we only could squeeze very limited time to study, we had a full time job in the day. 

Red Straw Story

     

      Every morning when I came into the breakfast shop, I would have a cup of coffee without any verbal asking, the young girl with darker brown skin color had prepared coffee for me. She is not tall, but I can tell some intelligent from her eyes. She not only provided a good coffee but also her sunny smile.

Go Yoga

     

    My two coworkers taken Yoga class from this month, and they asked me to join with them together, because of preparing my middle exam, I did not go for Yoga class till the middle of this month. Their purpose of going Yoga class is trying to slim and lose some of weights,  but I just want to stay in good shape.  I am a lazy person rarely doing exercise, I thought attend dancing class or Yoga class before. I decide to act out this plan.

My first Presentation in English

      
     On the first Sunday of November, I had a presentation as my middle exam in front of my whole class and teacher, the topic was introduction of your favorite Taiwanese food. I still remember the fear and nervous I had about the presentation because this was my first time that I was going to speak English in front of many audiences.

     I did not finish my presentation till Sunday early morning, I revised my report again and again, I had gone over what I should say and the words that I should use or not use. I was afraid that if I can not pronounce them correctly, I would complete block and did not know how to end the presentation on the stage.

New Open Night Market

     "Have you ever been to the new Garden night market?" this is became to the comment greeting between the people around me.

      That day, my ex-coworker Johnny chatted with me on MSN, he said he wanted to visit this new  night market, and asked me to go there together, meanwhile, he was afraid that he did not have another helmet, he could not give me a ride. I told him, "Don't worry, I can walk to the night market from office."

Travel Alone

     

      Do you have any experience of travel? I think most of the people do have few or some travels since school life.  When we were kids, we always looked forward to coming trip every semester . Some people like traveling with family, some people prefer accompanying with friends or their steadies.  It is good and pleasure to have trip with companions together. However, travel alone is an another thing.
