Traveling divided into two ways, such as backpacking travel and tour travel trip. Backpacking travel is that people go traveling in the long-distance by themselves. Tour travel trip is that people go traveling and is guided by a leader. However, you could find that backpacking travel and tour travel trip not only have a large number of similarities but also have many differences when you make a decision.

     Backpacking travel and tour travel trip have several similarities. In the first place, we must spend a large amount of money as long as we go traveling aboard. So,we should save money as much as possible when we plan to take a trip. Second, backpacking travel and tour travel trip can relieve our mood. As we feel tired or are under pressure, we can manage to travel aboard to make us keep a good mood.

     In addition to these similarities, there are also several differences. Backpacking travel can go to the scenic spots where you like the best. Besides, you will not be limited no matter how long you stay. It is backpacking travel that it is very free and makes us feel pretty relaxed. On the other hand, tour travel trip will be limited in many aspects because the whole schedule is arranged by the travel agency. However, the tour guide will help you communicate with inhabitants when you don’t speak the local language at all.

Mid-term

     If you want to read  various kinds of books, you can also go to the book fair in addition to going to the bookstore and going to the Internet bookstore. In modern society, more and more people like to go to the book fair in their free time.

     Going to the book fair have many advantages. You can find books which you are interested in from various kinds of books. You can also share interesting books with other people. Besides, if you search for those books carefully, you can even buy books which are pretty inexpensive.

     When I am in free time, I like to read some English magazines, such as IVY, LIVE ABC, and so on. I think that reading English magazines can improve our English abilities and make our English become better. Furthermore, I also like to read comic books to kill time. In holiday, I go to the bookstore with my friend. We lend a great number of comic books together. We share those comic books with each other.

     In my opinion, having reading habits is excellent. Apart from studying, we have to do some things which can help learn. Reading books not only can add our knowledge but also can improve our language and writing abilities.

the Mid-term Exam

     This week, I am very busy and tired because of the Mid-term Exam. It is the first exam that I entered in Chaoyung. I felt a little nervous. To prepare the Mid-term Exam, I study hard in these days. Sometimes, I even burn the midnight oil. Although I am tired and sleepy, I still force myself to stay up late until I go over all the lessons. Unfortunately, the Mid-term Exam is not so easy. I am very afraid that I am not able to pass the exam.

     I have not finished the test yet. I will be tested the final subject which is English pronunciation tomorrow. I think that English pronunciation is the most difficult subject. I wish that I can pass all tests.

The “battle of the sexes” started with Adam and Eve.However, it will probably continue forever.In addition, the opinion that mean are superior to women has long been accepted in many cultures.Therefore, the feminist movement is trying to change this view.On the one hand, feminists claim that boys and girls are exactly equal at birth but become unequal because of the way they are treated by society. On the other hand, feminists believe education has contributed to the gender inequality. As far as I know, recent research contradicts the view that males and females are innately alike.

Catching a Cold

     Last Saturday, I went to Feng Chia night market with my friends. It was a little cold night. We bought some things and ate variety kinds of delicious food, such as oyster omelet, fried chicken steak and stinky tofu. Besides, we shared a lot of interesting things one another. To our surprise, the night market was crowded with people. We were even unable to move because almost all of the people crowded in the night market. It was a horrible experience. I thought that we should not come here on Saturday.

     Unfortunately, I felt dizzy, had a sore throat and had a running nose when I got up the next morning. After my mother knew that I catched a cold, she quickly took me to see a doctor. In the beginning, the doctor took my temperature and told me that I had a slight fever. Next, the doctor checked my throat and found that my throat was red and swollen. Finally, the doctor prescribed some medicine and advised me that I drink more water and take more rest.

     Now, I still feel under the weather. I have taken the medicine for four days. I hope I can get over soon.

My University Life

     I am filled with expectation for my university life. I hope that the four-year in
Chaoyang will be colorful. So far, I have studied in Chaoyang for three weeks. I find that university life is different from senior high school life. The university life is quite free. Besides, there are many extracurricular activities in school, such as basketball contest, volleyball contest, and so on.

     Within three weeks, I made a lot of friends from different area. We also began to know one another gradually. We had a meal together in lunch. After class, we talked about many interesting things and shared joy with one another. I think that broadening interpersonal relationship is an important part in the university life. About clubs, I am considering which clubs fit me.

     As for my study, I am striving to learn Japanese now. It is a language that I never learn in the past. But, I will try my best to learn it well. I expect that I can lead a colorful life in Chaoyang.
