My favorite ride in the Magic mountain is the one named Tatsu. I like to take the ride that is thrill and excited. I feel that I am able to release the pressure when I scream a lot during the ride. I know it is kind of crazy. The reason why that the Tatsu is my favorite ride is because it is a little bit different from those traditional ride. you will be hanged by the machine when you tkae the ride. During the ride of Tatsu, you will fly at speeds in around over 62 mph through deep plunges and you will also have been through some huge spirals and sharp vertical dives that make you flying through the Park's mountainous terrain. The duration of the ride is 2 minutes which is quite long when campareing with others. And it is my favorite ride from the Magic mountain.

The most unforgettable thing which happened in my teenage would be the one when I was in the middle school. I joined an English Summer Camp to the United States for two months. The reason why this impressed me the most is because it was the first time that I was this far away from home alone. It was a precious experience for me. The English Summer Camp was held by my middle school so there were a lot of my friends to join this activity. We were not worried but happy to experience the journey. The school we visited was Cal Poly Pomona which is located in the California. I still remembered that the first day we arrived and everything here seemed so fascinated for us. The people, environment and the way of living were new for us. My friends and I just tried to seize the chance to do the thing that we had never been through. All of the memories are still quite fresh for me now and we even talk it a lot when I hang out with my middle school’s classmates. I really appreciate my parents to give me the opportunity to experience different way of living and this invaluable remembrance that I am able to share with others.

At that time, I was a middle school student and the date of earthquake was September 21th. There reason why I could remember this day clearly was because my school had a graduated trip in the same day. The earthquake happened at midnight. I could feel the shake of earthquake but I thought it may not that serious and just kept sleeping. Beacuse Taiwan is located between two faults. We are used to the sitaution when the earthquake happened. The next morning, we still followed the schedule of graduated trip;however, w were on our way to the destination and we were informed to stop the journey and went back to school. It was because the road collapsed by the falling stones from the mountain side and the middle part of Taiwan still along with some small earthquake. For ous safety,it's better to cancel the trip. After went back home and turned on the tv and saw some frightening pictures and realized the serious consequsence. It was the significant event that took place in my lifetime.

Jounal#5 The three little pigs

Once upon a time ,there was a mother pig who had three little pigs. The three little pigs grew so big that their mother said to them, "You are too big to live here any longer. You must go and build houses for yourselves. The first little pig built his house out of straw because it was the easiest thing to do. He was very pleased with his house. He said that the wolf won't catch me and eat me.The second little pig built himself a house of sticks. It was stronger than the house of straw. The second little pig also was very pleased with his house and said that the wolf won't be able to catch me and eat me.The third little pig built himself a house of bricks. It took him a long time to build this strong house. The third little pig said the same woeds too. The next day the wolf came along the road. He came to the house of straw which the first little pig had built. When the first little pig saw the wolf coming, he ran inside his house and shut the door. The wolf knocked on the door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." The little pig said I will not let you come in." "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," said the wolf. So he huffed and puffed. The house of straw fell down and the wolf ate up the first little pig.And the same thing did happen on the second one. The third one was survived from wolf's attack because of the firm bricks house.

My first arrival to Usa

As the time goes by, I still remember the first day that I arrivaled to the USA. The plan was arrivaled earily than it assumed. I was excited and worried to be here. It was my first time to be this far from home afterall. My roommate would pick me up and we had never met before. She left me her cell phone and asked me to call once I arrivaled at the airport. Unfortunally, I forgot to bring the note with me which had my roommate's cell phone on it. At first, I was so nervous and even called back to my mon and asked her for help.And I just tried to look around if there was a same person who was searching for someone too. At this time , I remembered that we had reminded each other what color of shirt we would wear as a sign which could help us to recognize each other. Finally, we met in front of the information board.And it was my first to the USA.
