(Song summary) Leaving on a jet plane
----Leaving on a jet plane----
All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking
It's early morning
The taxi's waiting
He's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
*So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring (*)
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

(Essay 3) What do millionnaires work for?
What do millionnaires work for?
People work because they need money to live. Everything costs a lot in the society nowadays. Therefore, most people work hard to earn their lives, not to mention those who have their own family. However, there are still some people rich enough so they don’t bother about earning their daily bread. What do they work for?
In my opinion, when people have earned enough money to live, they will want to earn more money to live better lives. We would like to try some dainties as long as we don’t worry about starvation. We may buy some pretty clothes while we can easily get warm. No one wants to live in stables when he has a villa. Everyone wants to live a better life, and that’s why people still work when they are well-fixed.
However, well-fixed people still keep working. They keep working not for more money but for sense of achievement and responsibility. Even if he doesn’t need so mach money, an old baker may carry on working because that he can bake the most delicious cake in the community he’s living in and that many neighbors are use to buy some snacks or bread in his shop everyday. This will bring the baker a sense of achievement and responsibility which urge him stick on his career day after day. And it is also the reason for a chairman of an enterprise. That’s another reason well-fixed people still keep working.
Although money is one of the chief reasons for working, work not only for money shall profit you more. When one can take his job for his career and working hard for it, he could feel a sense of achievement and honor as well as improve his life.
New Year Resolution
New Year Resolution
The year 2006 has fled away and the brand new year 2007 is coming. I have learned something from every failure and frustration during last year, and therefore I have made some resolutions for my 2007.
First, I will study harder this year. Although every student says so at every time a new semester and I had said so at the beginning of last year, I mean it this time. I do hope I can carry out preview and review of the lessons instead of staying up all through the night. The examination held at this summer is the first stage of getting the license to be a doctor. I shall make every effort to pass it.
Another New Year resolution of mine is to learn Tai Ji Quan. Tai Ji Quan is a kind of the internal styles of Chinese martial art which is based on the principle of the soft overcoming the hard. The idea to learn Tai Ji Quan may sound ridiculous but there are some reasons for me to make the decision. First, it’s a material art. As far as I known, the public order is a little poor in Taiwan. Although the ability to "stick, adhere, continue and follow (沾, 黏, 連, 隨)" , which is vital to the application of Tai Ji Quan combat techniques, may not enough to dodge or even catch bullets, it still works when being robbed. Secondly, it could strength my mind as well as my body. Tai Ji Quan training is designed to cultivate a relaxed, flexible and sensitive body along with calm and focused intent. What’s more, Tai Ji Quan is not only a military art or an exercise, but also a traditional art of Chinese. To practice Tai Ji Quan in the park nearby at dawn is always a popular entertainment.
It is quite easy to make daydreams while to accomplish them is relative difficult. After all, there was a saying: “no pain, no gain.” I will do my best to overcome those pain and difficulty to carry out my New Year resolutions.
(essay 2) To have a thing or to have a moment?
Everything is to decay but memory. As a result, I prefer having an unforgettable moment to having a thing.
Everything that can be bought cannot last for a long time. For example, any single meal of food can not make you full up for three days, no matter how it delicious. A ring or a bunch of roses may cost a lot but they can’t be more valuable than themselves. No one will remember an ordinary meal or gift everlasting. However, it shall be different when they are parts of the first date of the rookie lovers. It is the memory that makes everything invaluable.
A stub of a ticket or anything else will not simply be what it was when it commemorates something. For the reason, I would like to have an unforgettable moment comparing with having a thing.
