I went to see ‘Music and lyrics’ this afternoon. That’s why I wrote a review for this movie.
With a good song and outdated costumes, this film started. I was so curious about the beginning of this film and looked forward to watching the progress in this film. The main actress, Sophie, who was a plant cuter turns out to be a born songwriter. The main actor ,Alex , who was not popular in the music industry at that time found Sophie good at creating profound image of words. She compared the melody to the physical sex in life. If there is only good melody in a song, it still can not touch listener. The situation is like two people who made love at the first date due to impulse, and they didn’t contact each other. What really makes a song endure the test of time. According to her opinion, it is the lyrics that make the song immortal. After Alex understood the importance of the lyrics, he volunteered to spend more time composing lyrics instead of the melody.
They encouraged each other in the process no matter how hard it was. For example, Alex was a sensitive male. He can observe little thing like when she felt hungry and took initiative to feed her. Sophie who had been very spontaneous all the time went to the amusement park with him. When he felt down to continue performing, she was very thoughtful to give him courage to perform on the stage.
However, their painstaking effort is going to be in vain because Alex didn’t insist on their dream. The Cora who was the most famous singer in the world took their song with revise. Though Alex didn’t like her to do it, he still allowed her to do it and then he would become famous again. Instead, Sophie can’t tolerate it at all and decided to break up with Alex.
Finally, Cora and Alex host a big performance. He successfully convince Cora to take their former version and wrote a song for a true love, Sophie. Therefore, he got her love back again.
Here are the lyrics he wrote to her.
And the content in the lyrics was full of their common memories.
Don't Write Me Off -
Hugh GrantIt's never been easy for me to find words that go along with a melody.
But this time ther's actually something on my mind, so please forgive these few brief awkward lines.Since I've met you,
my whole life has changed, it's not just my furniture you've rearranged.
I was living the past, but somehow you've brought me back. And I haven't felt like this since before Frankie said,
"Relax!"And now I know, based on my track record, I might not seem like the safest bet.
All I'm asking you, is don't write me off just yet.
For years I've been telling myself the same old story, that I'm happy to live off my so called former glories
But you've given me a reason to take another chance.
Now I need you, despite the fact that you've killed all my plants.And though I know, I've already blown more chances than anyone should ever get.
All I'm asking you is, don't write me off just yet. Don't write me off just yet.
People need to pursue their dreams though life is always hard. We would have different dreams though some of them are big; some of them are small. We still need to take every opportunity to fulfill them instead of regretting afterward. Alex who was inspired by Sophie finally insisted on composing the songs of his style instead of catering to the market. I wish I can also be as brave as Alex did.
“Do what you value a lot right now and cherish every minutes you get along with your family and friends are very important”

Review : Spiderman 3
In the turbulent times, more and more criminals are doing damages to our society, and the crime rate is also increasing continuously. Every one only cares about the safety of them because the world is not so peaceful as it should be. However, with the presence of Spiderman, people find the reason of living again and strive for their lives.
It‘s obvious to know that the dark side of him is his real enemy There are totally three enemies in this film. As we can see, the hardest enemy is himself, Peter Parker. Besides, He regretted what he had done to his lover, best friend, and the photographer. First, He insulted Mary Ann by destroying her performance at the bar in the public because Mary Ann had broken up with him under the threat of Hary. Second, Peter hurt Hary’s face unconsciously because Hary was bugging him all the time for the death of this father. Third, he can’t permit the photographer to have more advantages than he. Therefore, he broke the photographer’s camera and destroyed the photographer’s promising future with the fraudulent picture taken by the photo.
Peter’s grandma found his weird reactions to his life after he knew the murderer of killing his uncle was someone else. However, his aunt encouraged him that “ I believe you will put it in a right way. Because the more powerful you are, the more responsibilities you have.
Another climax appeared when his best friend, Harry, misunderstood that Parker killed his father. That's why Harry would revenge his father on the Spiderman. After the housekeeper told Harry the truth about his father’s death. It dawned on him that he should forgive and save the Spiderman. Without hesitating, Harry took action on rescuing Mary Ann and Parker. Finally, Harry died because he wanted to save his best friend, Parke. I was so deeply moved by the scene because they are really the best friends forever. And what Harry did was like a redemption to Parker due to the fact that he misunderstood and destroyed their relationships.
Forgiving is the best antidote for your wounds. With hared all the time, it just would hurt your mind and makes you worse. That’s why Parker chose to forgive the murderer who killed his uncle. Hence, Peter Parker deserved to be Spiderman who is a symbol of every one ‘s super idol. Finally, Peter realized that everyone has his own choice, no matter what you choose. After all, it is the thought that matters because everyone can make a differenc

After last weekends, I have much clearer direction for study
My weekends
This typhoon was so devastating though the rain was not very intense in Taichung but the wind was really blowing hard. Every one had no choice but to stay at home. As for my lunch on Saturday, I ate only instant noodles at my home. I intended to eat out at first, but I gave it up after I saw the terrible scene outside through my window. A person wearing a raincoat was not able to walk on the street smoothly. This is the reason why I didn’t eat out. As to my dinner on Saturday, my friend and I decided to brave the storm to get our dinner because staying at home without going out for one day did drive us crazy. After we finished our dinner, we visited a Japanese person and some Turkish people. We had a lot of wonderful conversations. We spent there hours, but we didn’t know that we had been there for three hours for three hours. That meant we did have a good time.
Sunday, I started to need to go to my cram school’s class, but there was no one in the cram school. What the hell did the world change due to the annoying typhoon? It turned out that the class was cancelled because of typhoon. Since I went out, I decided to take this opportunity to study hard instead of wasting my time in my home. By walking about fifteen minutes, I eventually arrived in the Chung-Yo department. In the thirteenth floor, I sat next to window in a coffee shop. With a good scenery by observing from 13th floor and magnificent decoration in the coffee shop, I did study a lot with joy in the afternoon. Then I had widow shopping alone. Though it was only ‘myself ‘ to be my most loyal companion, I did have a lot fun. Finally, I went to a pet shop. I love puppies and kittens very much though I can’t take them home right now. I felt that I was the happiest person in the world when I gazed at those cute animals. I seemed to understand what they said as if I had been one of their companions.
I got headache
I went to go jogging this Tuesday, but the climate was getting colder and colder. Furthermore, I didn’t go home to take shower directly. Instead, I went to have my diner with a friend that is very easygoing. Then I had English presentation to a lot of people. I introduced Australia’s history and the meaning of its flag. Besides, I also introduced the legend about Russian doll. After I arrived at home, I can’t do anything but lie down on the bed.
I didn’t wake up until 12 pm. Then I needed to reorganize my studying plan again. Otherwise, I would study too much sometimes and feel exhausted in the next day so that I can’t use my time efficiently. I still don’t have a detailed studying plan to be realized. Thanks for Margaret’s advice,I made a studying plan for myself every day. I believe I can achieve my dream with plan if I study this step by step.

Journal 1 : I need to study harder
As far as I know, men are destined to face more challenges than women. I didn’t want to continue studying for master’s degree until I met so many inspiring friends and talked with some sages this summer vacation. Then, I decide to get my master’s degree continually instead of finding a job. That’s why I have so much work to do this semester such as minoring in English and preparing for graduate school’s exam.
This week, I have tried my best to study harder, but I am really not satisfied with what I have done for this week. It is still not enough to be admitted into a good graduate school. That’s why I am a little mad at myself and frustrated by my poor performance.
However, I got an e-mail which was written by Shefia. Thanks a lot, anyway. With your encouragement, I will continue taking advantages of my time and preparing for those upcoming challenges. Why I say I need to take advantage of my time very well because I have whole-day-long classes from Monday to Friday and Sunday. Due to this reason, I don’t have a lot of time. I am not worried about how hard it will be this year. To be honest, I am so excited to face those challenges, but I need to be more self-discipline. Otherwise, it is impossible for me to go over those contents that professors taught, and the time I invested in would be completely fruitless.
Postscript
As for the letter, I also replied an e-mail to Shefia, but I seldom saw you show up on the internet. I am convinced that everyone is struggling for dreams. I remembered you will learn Chinese since October. I hope you will like it. After all, I am a free tutor here. ^^~
This week, I also got a phone from Wesley. He is going back to Canada. Besides, his parents will also come to Taiwan from Canada. I am excited to receive his message. I can not imagine that he still remembered me. We had a very good conversation. However, I can’t attend his ‘farewell party’, but we can have a meal before he leaves Taiwan.
Wednesday, it was one of my good friends’ birthday, and we had a big surprise for him. While he was preparing for his camp’s activity, we suddenly showed up and forty people sang a happy birthday song for him. He was deeply moved by what we had down for him, and he can’t help but burst into crying. What a sentimental guy. Besides, I also made some cool friends. Their life experiences are amazing. Take a lady for example, she has worked in Australia for three years and found her true love whose nationality is German. And she will fly to German in the end of this year. What a romantic story. I hope I can also find my true love. Ha ha.. Take Nye for another example, he was an enthusiastic guy. He is so earnest about every thing even though it is just trivial matter. I hope I can also have his attitude on everything.
Anyway, another one week passed again. I hope I will better myself every day and I can be proud of saying that I am making more progress than that of yesterday.

Response draft :without emotion
At the beginning, I can’t feel anything but the cruelty of this guy. Why did he want to kill creature without having any emotion and thoughts. He hated himself to be sentimental. This is why he killed the squirrel as his first sample. He controlled not to feel sad about killing the squirrel, but he was really sad. After his mom blamed for his cruelty, why he felt sad was not because he killed the squirrel but because he can’t kill the squirrel without emotion. To overcome his weakness, he went to chicken coop to learn know to decapitate chicken’s heads efficiently. After he practiced the skill of decapitating the chicken’s heads, he can become a real ‘cold blood ’ killer without any emotion. What he acted was as if he had been a killing machine.
However, it was about time of the second world war, that’s why governments needed to recruit more armies not only form older people but also from younger people. Every citizen should contribute to the government. Besides, people were educated with the concept of protecting their countries since youth.
After all, I was not born at that time. I can’t judge whether the man behaved well or not. I would to say that a hero is known in the time of misfortune.
