生活雜記 @ 還剩下什麼

Today I went to Hualien city to look for a part-time job. At first, I was shy to ask the clerks if they are loking for day labors. But my sister told me that I should act more confidently. Then gradually I gained some guts, and started to be more positive and certain that I am the one you are looking for.

Finally I went to HESS Educational Organization to ask if they need a English teacher. But I did not expect to have a English test. I almost spent half an hour to finist the test. It's about grammar, reading comprehension, and sentence correction. Before I thought I was good at grammar. However, after this test, I doubt it.

Also I found that even though I understood the meanings of sentences, I still got confused when I started to answer those questions related to the texts.

Now I'm so afraid that I will disgrace my school. So down.

In Hualien

Now I'm in Hualien, enjoying my life.

On this Thurday my sister and I took a train from Hsinchu at 2:30. After four hours sitting on that uncomfortable seat, we arrived at Hualien train station. I think this is my tenth time to come to Hualien.(haha I'm not sure.)

Next day I rode my scooter to the city center to sign up my car driving training courses. After that, I went to 7-11 to buy a newspaper. I expected this newspaper would help me to find a part-time job, but I was wrong. All the job offers are in Taipei area. Then I realized why my sistertold me to buy the "Keng Sheng Daily News." This is regional newspaper publishing in Hualien and Taidong.

I tried to find a part-time job these two days, but it was difficult beacuse of the wrong time. Now it is already August, and the offer of the part-time jobs are originally rare. Maybe a tutoring job is what I should look for.

No inetrnet in my sister's home causes a big problem to me. Now I go to her company to use the wireless internet to get on-line every day. But from another point of view, this help me not to spend so much time surfing the internet. Instead I read more. Now I am reading "The Success Story of Stanley Yen."

運動很棒

I have not done exercise since I came back from Finland. Of course as anyone can imagine I gained some weight. But yesterday I got a chance to go to MXIC company to paly basketball, table tennis, badminton and billiards with my ex-student and his brother. I was exausted after this, but I was so excited. Also I saw my ex-student. He is my first student, and I had taught hime for almost three years. But I spent my last year in Finland. It's been a year we have not seen each other. Now he is taller than me, and more like a grown-up.

Today my friend, his Thai Friend and I went to Lion's Head Mountain to go mountain climbing. It was scorching hot. I sweated a great deal. Also I got sunburn. It was healthy for me, although mountain climbing is strenuous.

Today's new vocabulary:

smoothie 冰沙
frappe
hazelnut 榛果
caramel 焦糖
vanilla 香草
fern 蕨
yolk 蛋黃
Job's tear 薏仁
strenuous 費力的
