我的紐約行

紐約相簿


我的紐約行最後是出乎意料的結束...

在到紐約後的第四天就落荒而逃

狼狽的逃回Toronto

好不容易回到Toronto後就被冷彬痛罵一頓

但其實我被罵的心甘情願(更清楚被罵的原因)

獨自一人到世界的首都NYC的Manhattan

出發前的興致勃勃信心滿滿最後卻落跑

最終仍舊無法克服孤寂的情緒和惶恐

四天中對紐約的印象是美麗卻也髒亂

這城市中存在的特有的律動難以摸透

像是複雜的齒輪機構,每個元件有獨自的速度和規律

而我卻像掉入漩渦般摸不著頭緒

最後在喘不過氣的壓力下選擇逃走

很多人說可惜,其實我也覺得,但...

但從中我學到寶貴的一課:如何在慌忙中讓自己停下來深呼吸消化壓力

雖說只是短短的四天

但我仍會陸續分享我四天中的開心與恐懼。

The busy week 6


This week was a busy week, and that was the week 6 in this semester so we had to do a lot of tests and progresses. Wednesday, I joined my friend, Ali's work that was to help autism children, and to take care their lives. We were driving and going to a Chinese mall (Pacific Mall). That helped me to remember when I taught the same children at 關愛 society in Taipei. I found working with people who has disability satisfying to me. I'm planing to go to New York City when I finish this semester, and I'm going to book tickets and hostel by myself. I really expect this holiday coming.

結束超忙碌的一周

終於可以趁周末喘口氣

但仍需要為下周的期末考拼一下

若這周是忙碌的一周,那下周就是瘋狂的一周了

但,期末考結束後的2星期已經著手規劃

我要邁向期待已久的夢幻紐約曼哈頓

雖說冷彬已經離開紐約

但有著冷彬精闢的導引

讓我計畫起這行程省力不少

我也將成為背包族

用最省錢的方式享受紐約式的"上流生活"

遺憾的是我無緣見到王建民

因為我在紐約的一周洋基沒有主場賽

但我可以沉浸在百老匯的華麗歌舞中^^

About Lettre 字母的聯想


(圖取自 http://www.luckup.net/n/ca6289.htm)

My favourite letter is “W” because that means double victories, and we always hope we do anything to get double victories. The “W” is the first letter in my name, so I think my first English teacher expected me to get double victories when she gave me this English name. I’m always competitive in my life, but I hope for victory not only for myself, but also for other people, so I really want it to be “double victories”. I think “W” is a wonderful letter to express your feeling. When you feel something fantastic, you always say “Wow” at first. The “W” is not only my favourite letter, but also is the most important letter in my life.

今天寫的主題是關於自母的聯想

而我最愛的字母就是"W"

雖說一堆人說我愛A,但不是的!

我之所以喜歡W是因為我覺得W有雙贏的感覺(所以我不單單只想拿A)

而我認為我們時常贏的某些競爭時往往只有自己贏

但為什麼不能是你的勝利同時也成就對方勝利呢?

所以我才覺得"雙贏"在生活中是很重要的

尤其我又是個好勝心強的人

若能因為自己的勝出同時製造出更大的勝利

這不是更好嗎!

About Writing


鞋子博物館(Bata Shoe Museum)的玻璃彩繪

I really like writing, and I write down some distinctive things and my special feelings on my blog. At first, I just used Mandarin to write articles, but nowadays, I’m learning to write in English. I thought the writing clinic could help me to become a better writer because the teachers there always give me lots of encouragement, and that gives me more self-confidence to write in English. I always feel satisfied when I write and writing can help me to remember everything that happens in my life. I believe I will be able to write better in English because I love writing.

我超喜歡寫作

常常把難忘的事和特別的心情寫下來

而且我相信我對文字的組織能力很大部分來自我媽的影響

有遺傳也有我媽對我的訓練

所以我媽超自豪她兒子的文筆和字寫的挺美的(兒時慘痛的回憶)

現在慢慢能用英文寫作了

而且越寫越有信心

每周至少有3次的英文寫作機會

老師除了批改解說外更給我很多的鼓勵

這些鼓勵是促成英文寫作進步最大的要素

我相信我會慢慢用"英文"也出完整的文章!
