The Weekend Before Middle Exam


Last weekend, my friend and I went to the school library to prepare for our middle exam. However, after we studied for a while, an old man with a magnifying glass in his hand asked us for help. Because he was farsighted, he had difficulty seeing words on the screen of the computer clearly. Besides, he didn’t know how to use a search engine to find information which he wanted.

At first, we introduced Google search engine to him and taught him how to use keyword, but he was a little confused. Fortunately, after we showed him several examples, he figured it out. In addition to expressing his appreciation through a smile, he told us that he was a retired professor who had taught Chinese literature in NCCU before. How surprising it was! I did think it kept both sides happy the whole day ,and it proved again thatit is more blessed to give than to receive.

My Roommate 3


Ting-Yi Chou, one of my roommates, comes from Taoyuan County. I think it is very convenient for him to go home, for Taoyuan is just forty minutes away from Taipei. However, I have to spend two hours sitting on the train before I arrive at my destination. Besides, I need to book a ticket in advance so that I can have a seat.

He studies in the department of land economics, and he likes to play badminton. Sometimes he will invite his friends and me to play badminton together. Although I am not good at this sport, I can learn a lot from the tips they give me. By the way, he is also a big fan of UNI-LIONS (one of the baseball teams in Chinese Professional Baseball League). A few weeks ago, he even went to Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium to watch a significant postseason game. Unfortunately, UNI-LIONS lost the game, and LAMIGO-MONKEYS won the championship.
