    Theme: Movie
    New words: Lolita洛麗塔/蘿莉, carry a torch for sb單戀, abnormal love畸形的愛, strike a note表示某種情感, beyond one’s imagination超乎想象, romantic relationship戀愛, childish幼稚的, pedophilia戀童癖, tragic悲壯的, cultural collision文化碰撞與融合, a mirror of the times時代的反映, premature早熟的, indecency猥褻, escape from逃脫, incest/fornication亂倫, lolicon蘿莉控, sagacious睿智的, nostalgic念舊的
    Self-evaluation: The first time I heard about the movie Lolita is because my classmate always praises the line from it, “ Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul.” Before, I didn’t get this love feeling for one. After finishing the movie, I totally understood what lolicon is. It’s believed that this movie represents the cultural collision between America and France as Lolita is young and passionate little girl and Mr. Hambert is sagacious and nostalgic old man which is a mirror of the times. It’s a story about an old man who had pedophilia wanted to make indecency with a premature young lolita. Anyway, I can not accept the abnormal love of Mr. Hambert but I was struck a note in this movie.

    Theme: Korean drama
    New words: can’t help doing不由自主, addictive上癮的, Baby-Faced童顏, make a pass at the girl撩妹, dream love幻想的愛情, true love真愛, illusory虛假的, doormat受氣包, "cooking world"料理界
    Self-evaluation: Recently, Descendants of the Sun has aroused great discussion among girls. It’s said that girls will change their husband when they are following a new Korean drama. Now, Song Joong Ki, a Korean actor, became the husband of all girls. I only watched several sets of Descendants of the Sun so I’m not really addictive to the male lead. However, he is the tpye of my dream boyfriend. Anyway, I was shocked by the baby-faced of Song Hye-kyo. Unlike other girls, I am chasing another korean drama called Oh my ghost. And I really love this drama. I think korean drama has the power to control girls’ emotion.

    Self-evaluation: I really enjoy something green. I visited Calligraphy Greenway in Taichung on Saturday and I found a second-hand bookstore there and many buskers played their show there, such as live of band and talent show. It’s said that every busker has to get license if they want to have a show on street. I think it is really cool. As a famous saying goes, “all masters in civil”. I love handmade items and I dream to open a art shop in the future.

    self-evaluation: everyone uses money .we all want it work for it and think about it . in my opinion ,money is the way we get the things we want and need.money is only a means of circulation ,it is neither omnipotent nor the root of evil. we should set up a healthy concept about money,if we regard money as the most important thing in our life and you will lose yourself ,even one day you get a lot of money ,you are still a poor guy. spiritual wealth is necessary to everyone.
