The Dreamer "John Lennon"

John Lennon is a person who I would like to meet most if he was still alive . I know him by "The Beatles " which is the greatest rock band in the 60~70 century . When I first knew him by his song is called "imagine". It is a song about the no war, peace and cosmopolitism world . He liked to express his thinking and put words into the songs . He used to write very simple words but it touches my heart deeply.

John Lennon was an English songwriter, singer, musician, graphicartist, author and peace activist who gained worldwide fame as one of the founders of The Beatles. He had two sons, Julian, with his first wife Cynthia, and Sean, with his second wife, artist Yoko Ono. Lennon was murdered by his fan in New York City on 8 December 1980 . He was just 40 . Until now every year on 8 December, there is a memorial ceremony in Hollywood . There will be a lot of his fans come from different countries and memorize him . It includes speakers discussing Lennon, and musical tributes.

Most of the songs he wrote I was not born yet . But, everytime when I listen to those songs and they touches my heart even encourage me when I feel down . Sometimes I feel we have a lot of the same ideas for life style , love or the view of this world . He was a peace activist . Many songs he wrote that wished our world could be more peaceful . Sometimes I wonder , if he was alive , what would he think about the world nowadays ? Would he still insist and believe the cosmopolitism world someday ? However , we could never know this answer . But, I believe he would still forward to it by his songs , influence and inspire people from his music .

My dog

My dog , a brown and gray colors , is overweight . He has innocent eyes when he is looking at you or begging you . He is smart and human . He knows how to bring joy to people very well . Sometime when I get depressed and he seems to know me , he will walk to me and stay by my side . Even without any word but he seems to understand me . That 's a sweet way he is . But , he is not a good boy all the time . He is lazy to move when I was calling him or asking him to do something unless you show food in front of him . Sometimes he makes noise when people ignore him but after that he will get punishment . Some punishment is good for little kids even dogs . When he was a little , he peed and poo anywhere in my house . But after I tried to teach or punished him , and right now he know where to go toilet. According to reports , the most friendly animal is dog . Whether it is ture or not ,I really enjoy having a great time with my dog . I can't live without him .

adjust to

It's been for 3 weeks since I start my new school .

Meeting new classmates , getting into new classes . . . everything is totally new for me .
It have a lot of young people for me in my class . It is easy to find out the young breath from them , energetic and powerful . Even they were surprised my age and sweet told me that I am not kind of "looking" with my age . ^ ^''

There are some teachers that I am goning to introduce in my classes .

The literature teacher is a traditional looking but speaks fluent English woman . (Of course,she teaches English literature ) Her style is kind of like my mother , a little bit strict but respects what we need . The point is just don't absence her class.

The conversation is a humor and funny British man who name is Jonathan . He told us that he has been to Taiwan for over 10 years . He speaks fluent Chinese . I so wonder does he marry with Taiwanese girl ? anyway, I will find out the answer someday .

Lyudmila is our linguistics teacher who is a Russian . Maybe I was not used to listening to English with Russian accent , so it was a little bit strange for me in the beginning . Linguistics is a tough subject for me because it studies for history of English language . I am not good in history , so I wish I will find out some interesting in it .

Yuhsiu is my Writing and Practical English classes teacher . I was impressed by her young looking and patient teaching . She asks to do any writing we could but without pressure .
She is a very understanding teacher .

Evey teacher, every subject and everything I am getting used to it . But I am sure the one thing is I am loving to go back to student life again . It is simple but easy !

something about me . .

It is Angel . ^^

I got this nickname from my senior high school classmate . She thought I was a kind of forgetful and careless person and always had a smile on my face . It seems that I didn't need to worry about anything . So , she thought I am like an "angel" . ^ ^ anyway, I pretty like it .

After graduated I worked in a company which helped the goverment to run the motor vehicle service station . It was a challenging and interesting job for me . I learned a lot of things from there . Maybe I was younger and had some plan for myself . So, I quit it after I worked there for 5 years .

In the past 5 years , I didn't have time to stop and watch my life even thinking . So , I decided to take a long vacation for myself . I went to Vancouver , Canada for 4 months . I took an English school (ESL) in the daytime . It was hard for me in the begining . Besides English , I needed to learn to adapt to the new culture and society. Fortunately, I met some good friends and they helped me a lot .

After I came back to Taiwan , I work in my patents company until now .The company factory is in Vietnam . We are making a traditional product called "ghost money"and then import it to Taiwan . It starts to invest in Vietnam for10 years . Nowadays , Vietnam has become a place which attract international investment.

I go back to study English again because I want to improve it and I also want to get higher degree also . Sometimes I like to go traveling , it will be very helpful for me when I go to another country by myself . In the near future, I hope I could have an opportunity to study abroad and get an English job . It is my dream and I will try my best to fulfil it .
