A book that every teenager should read

“A book that every teenager should read”
I think that “Harrry Potter” is a book that teenagers should read. Although the story is based on imagination, you can still find familiar experience in your everyday life when you read it. The writer tries to deliver spirits such as courage, cooperation, and love through a young boy’s adventure in the magic world. I learn a lot of things after I read it.

J.K.Rowling has already published seven books featuring Harry’s stories and there will be no more in the future. Among these six books, I like the sixth one most, which was just published several years ago. It’s called “ the Revenge of Half-blood Prince”. As usual, the story is full of exotic things and fascinating characters. But there is something different about this book. It starts to discuss problems that we teenagers often face. In the story, Harry has to deal with problems of all aspects, not just simply fighting Voldemort. He started to understand his responsibility as well as his past. Just like every teenager, he also likes a girl secretly and doesn’t know how to express. I spent a whole night reading this book without sleeping as soon as I got the book. With the writer’s fantastic story-telling skill, I found it hart to put down the book until I totally finished reading it.

The most impressive part is when Harry and Professor Donbledort go out of school to fight the enemies, the bad guy takes the chance to destroy the school. Harry’s friends volunteer to fight the bad guys. They show great courage and wisdom, and are willing to sacrifice for the purpose of helping others. This spirit is really touching and rare in the world today.

To sum up, “Harry Potter” is definitely more than just an imaginary novel. To me, it is a story of trust and love, and gives us a brand-new view on how we should do when facing difficulties. If everyone can understand the spirits behind this story, the world is sure to be more peaceful.

A day as an independent and modern girl

I don't have a lot of classes this semester. Therefore, I have decided to make good use of my spare time. To save money for my trip to New York this summer, I get a part-time job as a tutor, teaching a seven-grade boy. On the other hand, I enroll in drum-set class. I also participate in two clubs, including Lo-kha-da and table tennis. With all these activities, I find my life busy and meaningful.
I have a strong feeling that I have become an independent grown-up. Just take a look at my schedule today and you can tell what I'm talking about. I woke up at 8:30 and went to work at 9:30. My student is a very nice and easygoing little boy. Although he is kind of lazy and doesn't like to do his homework. I do enjoy teaching him. What's more, he has a super cute dog as a pet. I have always been looking forward to have a dog but couldn't. The dog is almost as tall as me when he stands up, and he is indeed a passionate fellow. He always runs towards me and gives me a big hug when I enters the house.
Anyway, after work, I was starving and went straight into a restaurant. I ate my lunch alone. It may sound nothing to you, but in the past, I couldn't stand the feeling of loneliness when eating alone in the restaurant. However, I made schedule for the rest of my day while I ate.
Later on, I found a bus heading towards my next destination. I slept a little on the bus. The trip was quite long(45minutes). Finally I got to the eastern part of Taipei at two o'clock. I had a drum-set class at four o'clock. Therefore I idled alone on the busy street, and made some shopping. I found a shop having a big sale and bought some clothes at a very good price.(I'm so proud of myself haha) Then I found another restaurant and studied for a while.
I paid for my drum-set class and finish all the procedures required alone. I communicated with my new teacher about what I want to learn from him. There was something very interesting about my teacher. He was a young man with long straight hair. I could tell from his look that he was a hippy. He was very kind and told me to feel free to ask him anything. I think I will learn a lot from him in the future.
On my way back home, I suddenly recalled that I had spent the whole day wandering along Taipei city without getting lost or something. Well, I know it may sound nothing to you. However, at that very moment, I felt that I am really a grown-up. I enjoyed all the freedom I got, and I found my life is brighter than ever!

Starting a brand-new phase of my life

Practicing English by setting up one's own blog is really a cool idea. After entering college, I find that time is running out at an amazingly high speed. My schedule is always full, but I can't remember what I'm busy for. People start to think of me as an adult, giving me more freedom than ever. However, when there is no one to tell me what to do, I feel lost instead of happy. I have to find my own direction somehow.
I begin to understand that when you choose something, you are bound to lose something at the same time. The most difficult part is to find the balence. After a semester, I gradually gain a better control of my time, and my life is no longer a chaos. I used to do everything for the purpose of fulfilling other people's expectations. Now I live for myself. I have to flatter no one. I think I finally grow up and become a more independent person.
This is my first essay. In the future, I will record all of my happy or sad moment here. Time is always passing away and there is no turning-back. However, with this blog, I can transform all of my memory into internity. I believe that it would be great fun to read all there articles in the future.
