Grace的進修雜記:)

Kaze Japaness Restaurant is a Small Japaness Restaurant in downtown of Hood River. The restaurant provides parking space, but we went late a little so we needed to park the car on the street. (It is free to park on the street during night time.)
I enjoyed the Terkiyi Chicken Don with a bowl of touf and miso soup in this restaurant.

When I got the application form, I have no idea if I can apply ID card in USA?

The city I come from has a lot of friendly people. It is located at south of Taiwan named Kaohsiung.
Most of time the weather is hot and humid in Kaohsiung, and people would like to stay inside without getting sun burn during day time.
There are several companies which chose to set their factories in Kaohsiung. It is the second biggest city in Taiwan. A lot of workers can easily find a job in this city.

It is one of my dream to study abroad when I was a young child.
Last year I came by myself to make my dream come true. Sometimes I got a little homesick, but my friends were very kind to me, and they took care of me; therefore I overcame my nervous. ( Most of ESL students have many obstacles to overcome.)
Well, jet leg didn't bother me in the beginning. I was excited to study abroad.

Before I flight home, I made a list. I like to eat fruits, such as pomelo and mango.

(The following is not only including what I need to put into my suitcase, but it is also including what I want to eat in Taiwan.

It is really hot to stay outdoor, but I don't want to study in library when I am hungry. Take a walk to this place, and it is time for happy hour. (3:00 ~ 6:00, 10:00 ~ close)

I have fresh-cut fries, and a small green salad. When I finish my ice tea, I feel so happy that I have enough power to work on my assignment.

I took paper base TOEFL and iBT TOEFL to meet the requirement. The most important thing for me to prepare those test is "watch time."
By the way, my Strategies in this essay is base on the paper-base one.
As you see, those are my books.

This place gives my university students free drink when we order food there.
I try their Mango Salad, and it is yummy.

My roommate made sweet soup with Edible tree fungus after we ate dinner.
First step -> Put edible tree fungus into water for 30 mins, and you need to throw away the water.
Second step-> Boil a pot of water to put edile tree fungus into the water.

If you want to take the TOEFL, but you don't have enough time to improve listening or reading, and then you can try to find some strategies of grammar.
Sometimes GRAMMAR function will give you the clue to get the answer! Those rules need to memorize!
The best way to improve Grammar is to teach Grammar. (Group Studying is a good way to prepare for the exam.)

Attention!
It's a miracle to me when I receive this mail from a professor of Physics department.

In this writing class, we are required to have in-text citations, and also references sheet ~ it drives me crazy, but it is a useful skill to learn.
Education plays an important role in everyone’s life. Some people would have chance to study in a foreign country, and others might study in their home country. Different educational systems may cause distinct results, and students can benefit from trying different ones. There are two advantages to studying abroad: gaining self-confidence, and developing an open mind, but also there is a disadvantage of studying abroad, and that is reverse culture shock.
One benefit of studying abroad is gaining self-confidence. It might help students to know more about themselves. Presenting interesting idea from “Considering the Reasons to Study Abroad” Sullivan (2012) writes, “Studying abroad definitely challenges you on a personal level. Whether you consciously realize it or not, you develop a greater self-confidence.” In other words, it can be a great opportunity to gain self-confidence when people study abroad.

My Favorite movie is Titanic because it is a romantic movie, which played by famous actors and actresss.
Although this movie has new edition of 3D, I still liked the old edition with several touchable images.
For example , the actor told his gril friend " You jump, I jump." Unbelievable thing happened in the movie, the lady cannot swim, but she trusted the man, and she jumped into the water in order to survice.

The Old Spaghetti Factory is a good place to enjoy your meal.

You can make a phone call to order what you want to eat before you get there.
