I have many friends, Mandy Wu is the best of mine. We have known each other since we were in junior high school. She is very pretty and has short hair. She is not very tall but she was quite slim when she was young. She always likes to dress up until now. We are interested in many of the same hobbies. We both enjoy music, cooking and biking. We like going to the cinema. Whatever we're doing, it's always fun to be with her.
We always chatting each other and laughing at something. She has a very nice personality and a wonderful sense of humor but she got a little depressed from time to time in junior high school. Due to her father addicted in gambling and forgot about his work. Her father became greedy and wanted to win more. As a result, his daily life was ruined and he got the debt. My friend, Mandy had to give up his study of college at that time and went to work for families of living. I admired his brave and independent. After she and her brother earned the enough money to pay his father’s debt, she returned to school to complete his study.
When I was in troubles, I was frustrated by repeated failures, she still patiently encouraged me. I appreciated what she had done for me. We are best friends now, and I believe we'll still be best friends in the future!

Slumdog Millionaire
In this winter vacation, I saw a good movie from Indian. This movie narrated that stems from the Indian slum youth, Jamal, he attends the television program to guess a riddle. Finally, he holds the big prize. Through Jamal narrated story of his own childhood that gives all audiences on a real curriculum.
How hasn't ever received the education who poor child be able to guess right all questions? Some people have the question to the Jamal’s honest conduct. Arrested by police under suspicion of cheating, Jamal is interrogated by the authorities. The police simply can't believe that a common "slumdog" could possibly possess the knowledge to get this far in the game, and in order to convince them of how he gained such knowledge, Jamal begins reflecting back on his childhood.
All in all, I think that Jamal is a lucky child. He obtains not only the question of explanation, but also gets trusts with relationship of brothers and love. This movie deserve us seeing, it reflects the questions of poverty's society and a young man how to gain his want.

Chinese New Year
The date of the Chinese New Year is determined by the lunar calendar rather than the western calendar. It falls on a day ranging from late January to mid-February. We prepared for New Year, families clean out houses, wash all the household utensils, and throw away unwanted items. Two days before Chinese New Year, we hold a thanksgiving ceremony in honor of Heaven. Chicken, pork, fish, sticky rice cake and fruit and some of the items offered.
On New Year’s Eve, our members of every family returns home to have a family reunion dinner. There are a lot of special foods served, such as hot pot, dumplings and fish. After the dinner, children receive red envelopes containing gifts of lucky money. We stayed awake as long as we can during the night because it is believed that the longer the children stay awake, the longer their parents live. On New Year’s Day, after midnight, firecrackers are set off to “scare away” evil spirits.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, we didn’t cook or eat any meat because we believe that this will ensure a happy and long life. We visited neighbors and friends. When we met, we said “Gong Xi Fa Chai,” each other to wish a happy new year.

A soldier, Chiang Kuo-chiang was arrested in 1996 due to police found a piece of toilet paper in a crime scene that had traces of his semen and the girl’s blood. He broke down and confessed after coercive interrogations and was sentenced to death after a brief trial process. So he became a man who raping and murdering a young girl.
According to the investigate of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, they didn’t find Chiang’s DNA on the girl’s clothes or the knife used at that time. Even more amazing, Hsu had already confessed to the crime, but the military ignored that as well. The military’s cursory handling of the 1996 case left an innocent man dead and inconsolable grief for many families that could have been prevented.
After waiting 15 years, Chiang family has finally heard the government admit that Chiang was wrongfully executed. However, they want justice to be legally restored. President Ma Ying-jeou apologizes on behalf of the government and willing to do everything that redresses the wrongful execution. We hope nothing like this and our government can assist this family to obtain justice and receive due compensation.
