an email to a good friend

Hi Mr.Q,

It sounds you have a good time in Hawaii. I like water sports very much, so I envy you to have much fun there. I am also jealous that you got a nice weather too. It is cloudy and rainy and heavy wind every day. I got a headache on Thursday. Then, I got a cold on Saturday. I felt my silver sound was going to be junk. However, I had a wonderful weekend. I got a lot of stories to tell you. My nice trip and party don’t lose yours. Ha Ha!

First is on Friday night, it is Haley’s birthday party. There were around 20 people or more in the party. We was talking, drinking, dancing, and laughing all night. We also played beer pound, which is necessary in parties. Camille and me, we won the beer pounds, but we still were drunk. We walked like limp. It was so funny. I was also enjoying in the loud music.

There was a Haley’s friend in the party, I don’t remember his name. The guy was so weird. He held hands tightly when he shook hands with us. He shook hands with me totally 3 times in that night. The first time was nice to meet you. The second time was nice to meet you again. The third time was “I got to go, bye, it really nice to meet you.” But I still saw him after 30 minutes. He liked to talk with me, but I didn’t want. He told me his mother was from Taiwan; he told me he went to Taipei in 2005; he also told me his family……….I tried to ran away, but in vain. There was a sentence in my mind “ I don’t want to know anything about your mother!”

Second is on Saturday night, I went to Bellingham with Camille. She invited me to her dormitory. We took train to Bellingham. We miss the earlier train which we wanted to take, so we took the late one. When we arrived her campus, it was about 10:30. Then, we visited her boyfriend’s dormitory. We watched movie there. Camille and me were so tired, we fell in sleep in the movie time. When I woke up, the movie was still playing. Then, I got back Camille’s room first. Oh! My god! This is my first time sleep in boy’s dorm. Boys’ dorms are so crazy. They use the white wall as a big screen to play computer games. And somebody lay on bed cannot raise his arms or legs, or the screen would be covered. They also turn music loudly.

It is so much fun today. Camille took me to visit downtown of Bellingham. We painted a vase made by clay. After painting, it needs to bake, so I will get it on Friday. We painted it so pretty, and we signed names on it. It will be my best souvenir. Then, I was going to take my train on 7:40. Before that, we had some time in coffee shop to have a simple dinner. When I checked the time after dinner, it was 7:30. Oh! My dear! I was going to miss train again! We ran immediately! When we was running we heard the horn of the coming train.
“ I heard the horn, Jenny!” Camille said.
“ I heard too.” I answered.
Then, we saw the train was running on the horizontal way with us. We yelled loudly.
“ Hey! Hold on!”
“ It is always exciting with us! Jenny!” Camille said.

Fortunately, I got the train. We ran 3 minutes on the way, which we are use to spend 10 minutes by walk. It is a crazy night.

When I heard the horn again, I was on the train to Seattle. On that time, I was so sad to separate with Camille. My tear was around in my eyes, and I tried to stop it. Camille and me, we are so match. We cannot stop talking and laughing when we hand out together. We sleep on a bed for single person each weekend, we were still talking until tired. I feel somebody you like when you get together, you can get a lot of fun. No matter where you are, and what you are doing, it is still funny.

Porfile For Events Coordinator

Hi! I am Jenny. I come from Taiwan. Chin-Ling is my Chinese name, it means golden bell. I am an ESL program student in SCCC. I graduated from Chinese Culture University in Taiwan and I majored in Journalism. I have journalistic work experience for 2 years including 1 year as an intern and 1 year with formal status. Then, I changed to work in sales in a furniture shop for 1 year to learn some business practices.

I joined activities energetically in school when I was a university student. I was a member in a campus radio studio. I was a leader in the public relations department and a journalist. In this job I interviewed many important people on campus and with outside companies regarding current issues. There were many events needing to advertise, such as new principles in school and activities of clubs. So attracting cooperated clubs was one of my responsibilities. The radio studio also held some activities to improve listening rates. In our activities we usually needed supporters, and getting resources from companies was one of my responsibilities too. The other work I needed to do well was to build a positive image of the radio studio. I enjoyed my work, and did it well. I did seven things during my term when I was a leader in the public relations department that hadn’t been done before. These things increased the radio programs and the public’s access to the airwaves.

After graduating I worked for a famous broadcasting company in Taiwan. It was a stressful environment, but it gave me good training to be logical. Then I changed to a sales and found I could sell 1/3 of the stores total sales per month for 8 months.

I am glad to be studying at SCCC. It is a varied and culturally progressive school. We have many classmates who are from different countries. They bring different cultures and habits. We may hold some celebration during another other country’s festival, or hold a party to share special meals. I have enough experience as an events coordinator, and I also have the ambition to do the job well. I like to advertise events and create ideas in a group. It is a good chance to improve my ability.

In my opinion, to be a student means not only studying books, we need to join activities and enjoy our life.

The Ashes

Love becomes ashes after burning out the passion.

The ashes was dropping like snow.

I don't wanna pat them down at all.

I'd rather soak in the ashes to feel the warming

attached by burning.

In order to ponder how nice you were.

Blue Emotion

The time passes week by week

The day to leave comes quick

I am not sure what I can get

This Summer is so dark

My future is somewhere

I cannot see

My dream is among the clouds

I cannot grab it

Now, I am walking on cliff

Marvelous City, Taipei

Taipei is famous by baseball. The baseball team of Taipei is include the front 8 teams of the world. Taipei team often obtains awards in global baseball competitions. In the result, baseball game is popular in Taiwan. There are many hitting prastice fields. They are cheap and interesting and high quality equipment. If you have never hit ball, you'd better try it when you visit Taipei.

There are many night markets in Taipei. A night market is made up by few streets. There are many stores and restaurants. You can have dinner with friends or go shopping. Smome night markets have movie theaters, so besides these you can also watch movies there. Night markets are good places to have fun and relax. There are always a lot of people arround nitht markets. Especially in weekends, night markets are crowded by tourists.

If you like to go surfing and diving. The coast of Taipei is a good place to do water sports. It is famous to play water sports because of the geography and tide. The particular geography under the sea can make waves higher, so that players like to go surfing here. It also effects tide to go diving easily. There are many shops to sale equipments of water sport,and also many couches to teach you how to play well.

Then, I especially recommend foreigners to visit the National Palace Museum.
