This is my first time learning English in a lab. It is a very technological and interesting way. We have earphones to help us listen to our partners speak clearly, and we have microphones to talk in to. The oral practices are hard and challenging. At first I was scared to speak in a microphone, but with more practice and experience I am getting better at it. This also helps me with listening skill outside of the classroom, although I can’t speak fluent English, but I can understand 70% what my American friends are saying. I believe the lab is a productive way to help me improve my English speaking and listening skills. I really like this class, Teacher Simon is a fun teacher that always help us when in need. I met some new friends through English class, and I am really grateful for it.
The issues that we talked about, including honesty/dishonesty, police, and racism are very interesting. The pros of using the lab, is that while we’re talking about racism, I can surf the net and find more historical information on racism. Also the lab has strong air-conditioning which I enjoy very much especially in a humid place like NCCU
I enjoy this class very much, and I hope I can see everyone including Teacher Simon around school next semester. But I don’t want to see teacher Simon in the classroom, I don’t want to FAIL!!!!!!!!

Allen's Lab Homework(6)

2010-06-20T21:39:00.008+08:00

I used to do the questionnaire of the big five, which is separated personality by five dimension of person traits. However, when I wanted to revisit my result, I found that I forgot the password and account, I had no choice but did it again. Because the interval of two test is as long as the time I late to submit the homeork, I can barely remember the quertions and the answers I replied. To my surprise, I was struck by the similarity between this result and previous one. the likeness of the results seem to indicate that personality is stable because "Rome was not built in a day". According to my teacher of sociology, the result of the big five is seen to be inherent by psycologist. I think the statement may be a good interpretation of the correspondence, though I am not sure.

The five dimension of person trait is OCEAN, which is a abbreviated name of open, conscientious, extroverted, agreeable, and nervous. I got the lowest score in "conscientious", which mean I am a disorganized guy. I am often careless in my life. I usually forgot something important or lose anything you can image. And just as the website of questionnaire described, I have a messy desk!

I think that the big five test doesn't perform magic. In fact, it faithfully reflect what you key in the keyboard. However, when I answered the questions, I found that I seldom think of some of questions in my daily life. Therefore, it is a good way to see the way in which you see yourself and reveals some different view about yourself. In my case, the most impressive one is that what I think about who I am is still different from the one the result of questionnaire reveals. For example, I orginally thought that I can hadle social situations well even thought I think I am shy, too. But the result reflect that I tend to shy away from the social situations in comparison to others who done the same questionnaire. In addition, I never think that I am easy to express irritaion with other, which is a unexpected outcome for me. It show either something wrong during I answer the question or the woeful ignorance of me. Whichever the answer is, it is interesting to do the questionnaire of person traits.

First, sorry about that I didn't do this homework until now. So I work hard to type this homework and try to fix my mistake of hanging the homework too late.

People know that girls like the personality tests, and I am a girl just like others. Surfing on the Net to find an interesting personality is one of my hobbies, I have noticed that many of personality tests on the Net work by asking us lots of questions and then give us some conclusions. “Big Five Test” is what I just found on the Net, and I think it is acupuncture and interesting.

Here is my result.

http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/results/?oR=0.8&cR=0.639&eR=0.906&aR=0.694&nR=0.594&y=1990&g=f

I think the result is absolutely correct and I think that is me! I’m neither extremely forgiving nor irritable, tend to became anxious and nervous, and the most precise is that the test said I am extremely outgoing, social, and energetic!

The most dishonest thing I’ve done ---Angel

2010-06-20T20:16:00.000+08:00

I am always an honest girl who doesn’t like to tell lies, but there is an exception when I was little. I still can remember that was a wet and chilly winter night. I had been in the kindergarten for two years, but I hate my homeroom teacher there, hoping I can leave that class as soon as possible. That freezing night, I told a big lie to my parents after I came back from the kindergarten. I told them that my homeroom teacher used a water tube to hit me as a punishment. They didn’t believe me at first, but accept my words after I show them the bruise. Actually, the bruise was made by my self on my way home.
My parents were too angry to stay calm, they went to the kindergarten immediately and found my homeroom teacher. The teacher was so surprise to hear that when my parents ask her “Why did you give my kid physical punishments?” The teacher told them maybe it was a misunderstanding, and she found some of my classmates who were still stay in the classroom at that time. My classmates didn’t know what is happened, so they just tell the truth. And we all know that the truth is, my teacher didn’t do any physical punishment to me. After every evidences point out that I told a big lie, my parents felt very embarrassed and apologize to my homeroom teacher.
That night, I was commanded to stay in the stockroom as a punishment for my dishonest behavior. I have to say, that is the most dishonest thing I’ve ever done.

Dear Charlotte,

It was great to talk to you on the phone last Tuesday. I'm really looking forward to our trip. Just to confirm, we will be at Johannesburg from June 20th to 26th. I was surprised when you said it is going to be your first time seeing the World Cup. And it will be my pleasure to show you the soccer world. To begin with, let’s see the Brazil’s match to be in high spirits. It will be held on 20th the day we just arrived. Don’t worry about jet lag problem. The match will start at night and we have a lot of time to adjust.

I was wondering after you get to know the World Cup better, we can join the match on 24th. The Cup holder team Italy versus Slovakia. I’m sure it will be a wonderful game. Besides, we can try some Africa food and to understand the country better. Not through the reports on TV or the pictures on magazine, but in our eyes.

Anyway, here are my ideas and we can add some plans if you get one. I'm really looking forward to our first experience for the World Cup live show.

Best wishes

World Cup Trip

2010-06-17T22:15:00.002+08:00

Dear friend,

I arranged our schedule to South Africa on my own and I hope that you would like it.

Here's the schedule. We can get to Johannesburg, the capital of SA, on June 16. Stay for a night and then rent a car, driving to Cape Town ourselves. I know it will take a long time, but our tickets at Cape Town are England v.s. Algeria at June 18. After the match, we can take our time at Cape Town, which is said to be a beautiful city. People say that there is famous for wnies, and I think that's time we spend money.

Then, drive to Durban. Our second match will be Brazil v.s. Portugal at June 25. I've heard that there are some special casino. We can make our fortune there, maybe.

After two exciting and exhausting matches, it's time to relax ourselves. We can go to the well-known Kruger National Park to see many kinds of wild animal. Take a jeep, wandering on a wasteland and surrounded by elephants and zebras. I think that would be a wonderful experience.

In the end, go back to Johannesburg and return the car. We can also stay for a couple of days befoer we leave SA.

Let me know if you have any idea.

Best wishes,

Thomas

Dear Benson

It was great to talk to you on the phone yesterday. Just to confirm, we will watch the matches in Johannesburg and stay there from June 14 to 21. When we spoke, you mentioned that you want to cheer for Brazil, so we can choose one or two matches on 15th and 21st. It will be held in Soccer City Stadium and Ellis Park Stadium.

I was wondering whether you have other plans or not. If not, we can arrange some activities during this trip. I have searched some webs, which recommend plenty of places where must to go. We can know much about Johannesburg’s culture and history by visiting Newtown, but I think you prefer to Sandton, which has many restaurants and serve lots of delicious Africa food. Another choice is Sun City, a perfect place for tourists, where provides not only a variety of entertainment and facilities, but also a safari park that you can experience wildlife.

Anyway, the above are just my proposal and we have many details to discuss. I'm really looking forward to our trip.

Best wishes

FIFA Trip

2010-06-15T13:57:00.001+08:00

Dear Angel,

It was great to talk to you on the phone yesterday. I'm really looking forward to our trip. Just to confirm, we will leave Taiwan on July first, after our final exam. And soon arrive in South Africa. Maybe we will miss the live show about the World Cup, but we can follow it through television. And the most important reason to make us come to South Africa is play, play, and play. To begin with, we will enjoy our first night in Gold Reef City, a fantastic Casino. Then the second day we will spend our all day in Wilderness National Park, in order to enjoy wild life. In addition, we can visit the museum and castle of Good Hope, the oldest building in South Africa.

I was wondering if you mind to join some activities, which need swimming for a while. If you do not mind, maybe we can try to dive around the coast. I have heard that South Africa has a beautiful sea slight.

When we spoke, you mentioned that you planned to go to Germany and Italy. But do you think they are a little far away from South Africa. Even though I believe there are a lot of amazing things in those two countries. Maybe we could go next time.

Anyway this plan is just too basic to make our trip come true. Maybe we need more time and more information to know about South Africa. So I found a useful website talking about it. I wish you can find more ideas from it. http://www.southafrica.net/sat/content/en/za/home

Dear Sharon
It was great to talk to you on the phone yesterday. I’m really looking forward to our trip. Just to confirm, the plan which we discussed yesterday. We are going to South Africa on June 19 and we will leave there on June 24. We will meet each other at Taoyuan International Airport at 6:30 on June 19 and head for Johannesburg together by airplane at 7 o’clock. The first match we watch is Brazil against Côte d'Ivoire on June 20. And the second match we watch is Nigeria against Korea Republic in Durban on June 22.
I was wondering have you booked the FIFA world Cup Tickets yet. I think that we have to hurry for fear that the tickets will be sold out.
When we spoke, you mentioned that after watching the match in Durban, we can enjoy the beautiful beaches and go surfing there. But do you think we can go to the Kruger National Park which is the famous site in South Africa ? We can see a lot of wild animals and take many pictures with them there. The landscape there must be very special. Also, we can enjoy the exotic food in other cities in South Africa.
Anyway I think it must be a great trip to South Africa. I am really excited in our trip.
Best wishes

Our FIFA Trip (Iris & Taco)

2010-06-15T00:22:00.003+08:00

Dear Taco,

It was great to talk to you on the phone last week. I am really looking forward to our trip to South Africa. Just to confirm, the game we are going to watch is Portugal versus Brazil which will be held in Durban Stadium on 25th June. As a result, we will be arrive in Durban on 24th June and leave there on 26th June.
I found two hotels. One is SunCoast Hotel & Towers. Another is Garden Court Umhlanga. The former is more expensive but it take less time to get to the stadium. So, it depends on our budget. Maybe we need to discuss about this quickly for fear that we will have no accommodations.
When we spoke, you mentioned that you want to go to the beach. I suggest that we can choose SunCoast Hotel & Towers because it has a very beautiful beach!! I think it is worthy to spend money!!
Any way, I hope that we can reach a consensus as soon as possible.Wish we have a perfect trip!!!

Best wishes,
Iris

Dear Tiffany,

I am so glad to talk to you last Tuesday. And we reached our conclusion soon. That is, we are going to South Africa to join the FIFA!

Because the match we want to watch is Germany versus Australia, according to the time schedule, we need to arrive at Durban on June 13th in the morning to be in time for the game at 20:30. We can buy our tickets together. Do you prefer the airplane or the boat?

Other than this, we also made an agreement that we are going to Madagascar after the game. Actually, the movie, Madagascar, is the main reason that we want to go there. We will see a lot of wild animals! I think we must go on a tour because Madagascar is a totally different country from us, and backpacking is quite difficult for two girls.

To sum up, I am looking forward to this trip. Hope the day comes soon!

Sincerely yours,
Lindsey

(Actually, the game had been ended and Germany was won by 4:0. But we didn't change our dicision because we have made it last Tuesday!)

Our World Cup trip in South Africa

2010-06-14T00:59:00.002+08:00

Dear CeCe,

It was great to talk to you on the phone the other day. I'm really looking forward to our trip. Just to confirm, on June 14th, we will set off our FIFA trip and head to Cape Town. We will probably arrive in the morning and watch the game with Italy to Paraguay at 20:30. We can stay and have fun in the capital city for about five days, and then travel to Durban on June 19th to watch the game with Japan to Netherlands at 13:30. In Durban, there are numerous beautiful beaches for us to stay for two days! After that, we may head to Joannesburg on June 21th to enjoy the game with Spain versus Honduras at night. In the cultural abundant city, we can check around for another five days and have the most amazing experience in South Africa, then shall we bring back all the spectacular and unforgettable memories back home!

I was wondering if you would like to take a boat to visit some nearby islands when we are in Cape Town. The local people say it is one of the "must" to take a boat ride to Rodden Island for visitors who wants to explore the historical context of South Africa which represents hope, triumph and freedom. While the Island was discovered over a century ago, it shot into international arena as a prison where political activists in South Africa were imprisoned. It is here that some of the country's struggle heroes like Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki and many others were imprisoned for many years for their refusal to embrace the apartheid system. It should be the main attraction for us to go and indulge in the history and nature build-up feast.

When we spoke, you mentioned about going to a zoo. But could you suggest a best place to see wild animals? I believe there should be places like safari for tourists to experience in the wild life, which would definitely be the coolest thing I've ever been through!

Anyway, the above should be our basic schedule and tourism planning, hope to hear from you soon, and I am extremely excited for our World Cup trip to South Africa!

Best wishes,

Ya-Ping

It was great to talk to you on the phone this Tuesday. I'm really looking forward to our trip. Just to confirm, we are going to Durban to watch the match of Korea versus Nigeria on 22 June.

I was wondering whether we should go to the beach first or watch the game first.When we spoke, you mentioned that all things can be arranged on my own. But do you think that we can arrange our trip together? Maybe we can talk someday and discuss our trip during 23 June ~ 24 June.

Anyway, we reach a common consensus that we'll have the FIFA trip together! see you next week!

dishonest me (DAMA)

2010-06-12T19:12:00.004+08:00

I have lots of dishonest experiences, like cheating on the tests or lying my parents. But I 've never done the terrible one.

I can share some interesting experiences with you. During my student time before the college, my parents control my daily life and even my friendship. Maybe I exaggerate it somehow, but I believe that some of you have experienced this kind of life. So I kept telling my parents lies to make myself out of house, hang out with my friends and celebrate my birthday with senior boys. I did feel guilty then, but I can't stand the pressure my parents gave on me. What's more, they haven't find that I even got a boyfriend till now. And I won't tell them the truth in the future.

The lies always happen in the situation that we can't show the truth. I can't talk to my mom about my boyfriend or I will be grounded. And I think that the lies I made won't harm anyone. It benefits everyone, sometimes dishonesty is necessary.

Dear Nicole,

It's great to talk to you on the phone yesterday. I am surprised that you are planning to attend in FIFA, the soccer festival in SA, too.

Have you bought the ticket yet? Well...As I mentioned on the phone, my sister has another plan on her vacation, so I think that she won't go to SA with me. As the result, are you willing to go with me? I can provide you the tickets at the lower price.

And Durban is the destination on the tickets haha. So I think that we should prepare the bikini to enjoy the beach. Reply me soon~

Best wishes.

Dear Ha(sorry, I don`t know what is your real name!)

It was a nice talk on the phone on Tuesday. I would like to invite you to go with me to South Africa to watch the World Cup, and cheer for Spain on June 16. I want to make sure that if it is okay for you to go with me.

If you go with me, we will watch the game on June 16 in Durban Stadium, and we are going to stay in 29 On St James hotel. It is a four star hotel, it offers meals, tours, and transport. In addition, there has a lot of recreational facilities in this hotel like beach, outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, etc. If you want to swim there, and don`t forget to bring your swimming suit. I think that it will be very convenient to have a stay in this four star hotel.

When we had a chat about going to South Africa to watch the World Cup, you mentioned that you want to cheer for Korea. The game is on June 12, and it is in Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth Stadium. It is a little bit far from Durban, but I think may be we can go Nelson Mandela Bay first, and be backpackers to Durban. We can have a lot of adventure during the trip between Nelson Mandela Bay to Durban.

Anyway I`m so looking forward to this awesome plan to South Africa, and hope that you can go with me.

Best wishes

The most dishonest thing I’ve done - Charlotte

2010-06-09T22:14:00.001+08:00

When I was a child, my parents always told me to be honest. It’s a kind of virtue that we treat other people with honesty. However, when facing some situations, we usually choose to cheat others instead of saying the truth. Sometimes it may make people feel better, but most of the time, it actually make ourselves feel comfortable. The following is a most dishonest thing I’ve done.

My best friend in junior high was extremely good at taking notes. She could precisely take down what teacher said in the class. Therefore, everyone in our class liked to borrow notebooks from her. She was so nice that she would lend everyone who needed them. Only one thing she cared about was everyone who borrowed them should keep them neat and tidy. Nevertheless, one time when I was eating beef noodle at home, I split it and it flow over one of the notebooks of my friend. At that time, I was frightened and didn’t know how to do. Afraid of being blamed, I didn’t tell my best friend but just put her notebook back on her desk next day. When she found her notebook stained by oil, she was angry but didn’t know who did it. After that, she decided not to lend notebooks to everyone.

Although I didn’t confess at last, I always feel guilty when the thing came into my head. If I could go back to that time, I would rather choose to be honest than tell a lie.

The most dishonest....(Iris)

2010-06-07T23:46:00.003+08:00

Before telling you what I did dishonestly, I have to say honestly that I did it several times.
When I was a senior high school student, my mathematics teacher was very strict. To make sure that our parents really knew our situations in every examination, he asked us to have our parents' signature on the paper when we handed in the corrected version. However, my mathematics was very poor, so what my teacher ordered became a nightmare because my father is very strict. To avoid being scolded by my father, I forged my father's signature. And I did it several times.
It was really dishonest, wasn't it? I feel guilty even now...If I could choose again, I would make every effort to progress my math instead of lying.

Dishonest-Katy

2010-06-06T14:47:00.001+08:00

It’s happened when I was a junior high school student. I didn’t only cheat in exams, but also cheated my parents. I pretended study very hard and both of them thought that I went to library after class. In fact, I just put my bag on the desk or asked others to go to cram school to substitute for me when teacher called. Then, I hung out with my friends. In the beginning, my parents didn’t become suspicious because I still can get good grades by cheating until my cram school’s teacher found I wasn’t in the class actually. They told my parents instantly. At that time, I didn’t know my parents have already known everything. When they asked me where I went after class, I replied “library” as usual. My parents didn’t say anything but he was disappointed with me.

My teacher told me that if I could apologize to my parents for my faults and promise that never do what make them worried again, they will forgive me. I felt guilty, so I gradually estranged that friends and do my best to get good grades on my academic performance.

The most dishonest I've done Peggy

2010-05-25T14:04:00.004+08:00

Let me get it straight, I'm not a honest person. Sometimes, I'll tell a lie for joke or I don't want my parents and my friends to worry about me.However, most of time I lie to my mom. In my senior high school years, my mom extremely concerned with my school work, but I often felt bored in certain class, for example: chemistry, physics, and so on. Because of that, I daydreamed or even dropped asleep during class.Nonetheless, I lied my mom that I'm always focus on what teacher said. That makes me feel guilty when I recall having done those irresponsible things in my high school years.
I believe everyone may go wrong way, the most important is we must introspect ourselves after doing such trouble mistakes. What's more, we also have to learn to look over others fault, as English poet Pope said''To err is human, to forgive is divine.''However, the first thing I have to do is face my mistake and be honest.

Dishonesty (Sharon)

2010-05-22T22:20:00.002+08:00

I cheated on an important test when I was a senior high student. On that day, I hung out with my classmates. Therefore, we could not take the test on time. We were worried and nervous, so we called other classmates and asked him to replace us to take the test. However, the classmate who helped us confused our student number so the teacher found the dishonesty of us when he corrected the test paper. I felt very regretful when I found the seriousness of the situation. I was worried that the teacher would not trust me anymore, and scared of fail in the subject. I told the teacher that I was pretty sorry, promised him that I would not do the same thing twice, and begged for forgiveness and keep the dishoesty secret. The teacher punished us to copy the texts and warned us not to cheat. I have never cheated on the test or exam since then.

Dishonest Taco

2010-05-17T14:30:00.002+08:00

I am Taco. Today I want to say that not everyday I am honest. Sorry for my dishonest. Please forgive my fault and immature.
Sometime, I will tell a lie because of my laziness. For example, a day my classmate asked me give him a hand. He said'' Can you search some information? If you can, please do me a favor. '' Due to my laziness, I refused him after thinking. And I said '' Sorry, I think that I am not very goot at this part. Maybe you van the other people who is better. '' Although I said that seriously, in my mind, who did not know that I was just lazy and found an excuse. Other time, my mother asked me if I had finished my homework. I was indulged in the TV show then. And I shooted a line again. I said '' Everything had been done. '' What an idiot I am!
I tell a lie sometime because of some fool reasons. I am not a bad guy. Next time I will try to tell the truth.

The most dishonest thing I've done(孟孟)

2010-05-11T14:43:00.003+08:00

The most dishonest thing I've done was I lied to my parents that I didn't got a cold when I was ten years old.

My health condition had been very bad in my childhood. Every time when I got a cold, I would cough, have a runny nose and a fever . Morever, these symptoms would lead to pneumonia and I was sent to the hospital in the end. It was a nightmare to me, because I couldn't go to school and play with my friends when I was sent to the hospital to be cured. What's more, I had to take the medicine and have an injection.

When I was ten, I felt uncomfortable one day. I was so afraid I would be sent to the hospital again that I lied to my mother I was fine when she asked me why I looked so pale. However, I started to caugh in the night. My mom heared my voice and found that the temperature of my body was very high. Unfortunately, I was sent to the hospital again.

I learned a lesson from this accident. If I feel uncomfortable, I have to tell my parents. Otherwise, the condition of my health would be bader and bader.

2010-05-11T12:54:00.003+08:00

It happened when I was just 10 years old...

I was regarded as a clever student when I studied in elementary school. Therefore, to attain to others' expectation, I was always so circumspect to avoid making mistakes on exams. I still remember that was a mid-term exam, I got full marks in every subject except Science. I just had A wrong answer. It meant that I was almost got full marks on Science as well. It was so regrettable... my parents said if I had got full marks in all subjects, they would have bought my favorite barbie for me! In the moment, there was a bad thinking in my brain, I decided to find my Science teacher...

I entered the office, and told the teacher that she must check my test paper again. I expained that because my answers were all correct. It should be scored 100! Then my teacher told me severely that she had checked my paper again and again before she gave it to me because I got the highest score in the class. I felt shame when I listened what the teacher said. Although she didn't tell me in a direct way, I realized that she knew I've revised my wrong answer...

It was the most dishonest thing I've done. After it, I've never been dishonest on any exam. It was my first time to lie to teachers, also the last time.

The Most Dishonest Thing Cece Has Ever Done

2010-05-11T12:18:00.003+08:00

I have to admit that I am not that honesty. What has been bothering me is my poor morality. The religious doctrine surrounds my mind all the time as being one member in the church, however, a strict morality urges me find a easy way to hide my consience. I was convinced by my immorality that a piece of lie is not sinful at all when I was struggling whether to be blamed or to lie. Thinking about the reason why I behave dishonestly makes me want to quit the vicious habit. Determing to overcome the dishonety, it seems that I am so much inclined to be defeated by my contaminated conscience. One of my frequent dishonest thing is skipping classes. When my parents are curious about the time I leave for school, being off today is my unconscious excuse. I used a excuse instead of an lie, and hope it could make me merely innocent. Having been a victim of greed, the desire for having more made me feel so sinful and ashamed. Insufficient financial condition had me turn to borrow money from my friend to satisfy my desire. Because she forgot about the borrowing, I had a reasonable excuse to conceal the truth and to make up my innocency. Making a confession releases my regret for my disgrace, and enable the existence of my conscience. I will not do the same thing again, being filled with guilt and sorrow truly humiliates my integraty.

Talking about honesty, I felt that people, or just me, become more and more dishonest when growing up. When we were a child, we usually do the things which we thought right, but maybe not benefits ourselvels; and when we grew up, we do the things which is definitely good to us, but not exactly correct. Maybe it is just a way to adjust ourselvels to the society, which is sadly necessary.
I remember once when I was in elementary school; I was playing just outside of my home, suddenly a wind blew, and a one-hundred dollar bill landed next to my feet. I thought that I should not take the money because it is not mine, so I asked several people passed aside me, and all of they said no, I still remember what the last person said to me: "If it was you who found it, then it is yours!" , then I came back home with the money and told my mom all of the story. I was wondering whether it is right to do so that time, sounds alittle bit stupid, but I did wonder.

But just like what I said about honesty above, I don't think I will still ask passerbys if I found money on the street now. And when I recalled this story, I came up with another question: if I was the passerby being asked, will I answer "Yes, it is my money." ? Thinking of this, the people I asked that time is quite honest.

As I remembered, in my junior high school, I did somethimg dishonest. However, I handled it wisely..maybe. Let me tell you a short story. During that period, my study performance was good. I always prepared well before every test so that I got good grades all the time. When I became third grade student, somthing had changed. During that time, we had a lot of test everyday. However, to err is human, to forgive, divine, I became lazy. One day, I felt really tired so that I did not reviced my studies. Thus, I decided to cheat. In fact, most of my class mates cheated almost everytime in third grade. So, not only me but my friends had done something dishonest. However, our teacher discovered this condition and very angry. She asked who had cheated. If nobody confessed, all of us would have throubles. As a class leader, I admitted first. It took great courage for me to admit in front of many people. But, our teacher did not scholded me. Instead, she admired my honest. After that incident, all of our classmates did not cheated.

I think the most honest thing I’ve done is I haven’t cheated in any test in my life. I would rather get a zero than cheated. Though I didn’t do a good job on my academic performance, I find that honest is more worthy than good grades. When someone asks me about it, I can tell them proudly that I have never cheated in any test in my life!
Someone think that is impossible, but I think that is the most important thing in our life. Being honest to yourself can also protect others rights. Maybe they studied so hard until midnight, but you get higher grades then they get just because you cheat, that may have some impact between you and your classmates.

In the last semester of my elementary school, my several friends and me wanted to do something special. As a result, we decided to "cheat on the last exam"! Though the methood we used sucked, like turning my head back asking my friend "is the answer to first question A", we did it eventually. I have to say that the feeling at the moment was quite strange, like you just robbed a bank few minutes ago.
In the end, just as what you thought, someone found what we had done and told the teacher, then the teacher questioned all of us. Like prisoners' dilemma, each of us had two choices, confess or deny. Didn't want to be punished, I choosed to deny( Gosh! I was bad to the point!). Later I felt very guilty because most of my friends had confessed. That was so embarrasing that your friends were punished to write a repentance statement and you didn't have to be punished at all. I have been so regretful that I had done such a stupid thing before!

The Most Dishonest Thing I've Ever Done

2010-05-08T01:53:00.002+08:00

During around my second or third grade in elementary school, I had a very strong sweet tooth and I loved a particular brand of chocolate. Everyday I yearned to get one of those chocolates and imagined the feeling of having a bite of it, and just let it melt in my mouth smoothly. I wanted it so bad that I was eager to grab one or two chocolate right away. The chocolate is quite expensive for a kid that I did not have enough money, and there was no way that I could ask my mother to give me any in order to buy some sweets. Therefore, when I got out of the school, I would pass a convenient store on my way back home. I was sneaky but pretended to act normal as possible as I could, then I rapidly pocketed a chocolate bar from the shelf and walked out of the store immediately. I can't recall when and how that I started doing this, but I thought that since there was no recording monitor and the store clerks seemed to be so busy at all times, I guessed it's almost impossible to get caught. Who would notice a little kid like me and a few small chocolate bars anyway, at the beginning I thought. At that time, I had no understanding that stealing could be viewed as committing crime, all I knew is that stealing is wrong but as long as I don't get caught, I would be safe. However, I believe it was only the third time shoplifting from the same store, I suffered the consequence of what I deserved. While I was walking out casually after I had done stealing, I felt someone tapped on my shoulder so I looked back, it was the clerk! He showed a gesture indicating me to return the bars and reached out his right hand. I felt that my heart had frozen into icebox, so I gave back the chocolates to him and ran out right away without turning my head back and glanced over the store. I was extremely ashamed and felt so guilty. I was even scared that some policemen would come to my house and take me away! By simply imagining that, I got so frightened for a very long time. After that, I'd never entered the convenient store until I grew much older, and of course, I'd never steal anything from anywhere anymore!

Just as Ernest Hemingway has ever said, "in a calm sea every man is a pilot." Thus, I am no idea about whether I am honest, or whether I can always withstand temptations. However, I sometimes overcome the challenges, and win over the "devil" of my spirit. The followings are the most honest thing I have ever done/still remeber.
Since I like to read some books in the leisure time, I sometimes borrow books from the library in zengchi university. Once I sat down on chair between the trees, enjoying the breeze, warbling birds and alone time. Everything was good until bird dump, dropped by a bird of course, hit on my book, which didn't belong to me. Now, I faced a dilemma to decide I shouold be honest or not. After brieftly cleaning the book, I could close the book and pretend that nothing occurred, or told the truth to the librarian. Although slight hesitation I felt, I chose to speak the truth.

I can't remember what I've done before, but I do remember i did the most dishonest thing.
I was a naughty child when I was ten, and I liked to play dodgeball very much. I used to play dodgeball with my classmates in elementary school. and we liked to have a cometition to see who can throw the ball farther. One day, we still played the ball just like before. Then, thing happened. I throw the ball too farther and it hit the window. The window was broken because of my ball, but I didn't confess that I did so. Though I felt guilty, I didn't tell anyone that I broke the window.

This story happend when I was a senior high school student. One day, my friends and I was going to cram school. Suddenly, we find a wallet on the road. There are some ID cards and 3000 Japanese yen in the wallet. Because of the ID card, we know that the wallet is belong to our school's student. So we decide to take the wallet to the teacher next day. The second day, we take the wallet to the teacher. The teacher praise us and say that he would give back the wallet to the student.
I think that doing honest thing is really happy. Although we can devide the money and have a good dinner, But we will lose our honor forever. We didn't get the money, but we got the happiness.

When I was sixth grade in elementary school, I remembered that I had done the most dishonest thing I had never done before. It was that I told a lie to both my teacher and classmate, and it really impressed me because I felt guilty for what I had done even many years passed.
One day we had a physical fitness test of sit-ups, and teacher declared twice that every student who counted the number for his partner must remember clearly how many times of sit-ups he did, or he should do the sit-ups again because of your carelessness and wasted more time. And I remembered that one of my classmates whose group was in front of mine forgot how many times of sit-ups his partner did, and the teacher was so angry that he scolded him loudly and made them do again. Then it was my turn to count for my partner, and I was thinking what would happen if I forgot the number while counting the number for my partner. It was until that my partner had ended doing sit-ups, and I came to realized that I forgot to count the number for him. Seeing teacher was so angry to whom didn’t remember the number, I decided to choose the number at random. “20” I said, and my partner complained that it was 50 actually. In order to improve to the teacher that I was not lying, so I explained to them that there were thirty times of sit-ups he did was not correct because of wrong action, so I didn’t count them in. My teacher believed me in the end, but actually I didn’t know exactly what the number was. I felt so sorry for my partner but I didn’t let him know the lie I made.

The most dishonest thing I have ever done was stealing some longan, a kind of fruit produced abundantly in summer, from my neighbors’ back yard. In my childhood, I lived with my grandparents in country, while my parents were getting jobs in Taipei. And my grandparents trusted me and let me do whatever I want to do. The thing was happened in my second year of elementary school, when I was in my summer vacation. I remembered the weather was boiling hot, my grandparents went out and chatted with their friends, leaving some children, of course including me, alone at home. All of us felt hot and gradually could not endure it. That is to say, we had to find something interesting to transfer our feeling about heat. Then we noticed that the longan tree cultivated by our neighbors grew well. The longan looked juicy and delicious, and there was no fence. So, we made a plan about stealing longan, driving our bicycle, taking some bags and began to carry out. First of all, some of my cousins posted as a lookout. Then the taller children, especially me, climbed up the bicycle, and took of the fruit. We did not stop until our bags were filled with the fruit. Finally we finished getting longan, and we soon ate all of the fruit. To make matters worse, we threw away all the shell, and went home happily.

When my grandparents went back home, of course our neighbors were angry at my grandparents. They asked them why they let us alone and told them the bad thing we have done. My grandparents felt embarrassed and sent some apple to our neighbor. After sending apple, my grandmother called me. I thought she would be very angry and never forgive me. However, she was not angry at all, all of she did was only ask me if I wanted to eat longan, why not told her. Even though my grandparents were not angry, my tear was dropped. And I could not help but keep crying, because I felt that I betrayed my grandparents’ trust. After this experience, I told myself that I will never do any dishonest thing, because I did not want to make my grandparents’ trust in vain.

When I was studied in elementary, I didn’t like other students have their own pocket money. My mom always said I can tell her when I need money. There was a trend between little girls in that moment. Girls always went to cooperative to do ten minutes’ shopping when they getting out of class. Cooperative had many interesting and cute things always caught our eyes. Things like stickers or pencil case were everybody’s favorite. I followed the trend with no exception but I faced a big problem which was that I didn’t have pocket money and mother wouldn’t give me money to buy those luxuries, so I took money that I had saved before from my piggy bank without being noticed in order to buy more lovely but useless objects. When my treasure became more and more, my mom soon found something wrong. Why her daughter could have money to buy those things? She asked me but I was too young to cheat because my skill was not great enough and I didn’t have the experience like that before. I finally confessed. I didn’t be forgiven for my final honest and I quickly got my punishment. This was my first and last time cheating. I didn’t do that again any more.

I think that I have done many honest things. I can not to choose the most honest things that I have done, because they are small things in my life. I want to share the honest thing that I have done recently is about money. Last year, my friend and I visited the senior high school which we studied before because the school held the school festival. When we decided to leave, we found 600NT dollars nearby the entrance. After I picked up the money, my friend thought the money we could take away. Although the money is not so much, I still thought we should not take the money. Then we discussed and we decided to give the money to the teacher finally.

After we give the money to the teacher, he said the money will belong to us if nobody claims the money more than four months. He didn’t ask our name, so we thought the money will never belong to us. Although we could not take the money, I am very delighted. I believe that whatever is not I earn, so I should not take. Even if I win the lottery, I will donate all the money to others.

When I was a little girl, I could not tell the true and fault. Even I had learned in the school; teacher thought by precept and examples. I usually made decision without thinking twice. Speaking of the most honest thing I have ever done, I will recall the time when I was little.
When I was in elementary school, I usually went to cram school on foots. I walked along the street. Suddenly, I found there was a strange item on the street. I picked it up and found it was a bill of 500 dollars. I quickly took the money in to my pocket and then keep going to my destination. However, I could not stay clamed and feel guilty through the class. As far as I am concerned, it was a big fortune. I thought of the consequence that if I really took of the money. If I was the men who disappeared the bill, I would hope I would find the missing money or someone would be good at me and give the money back to me. As a result, I decided to return the money back. After the cram school, I went back to the street and I found an old lady wandered around on the street. Then, I walked to her and asked what happened to her. The old lady answered with anxiety. Originally, she was the owner of the bill. So I gave the money back to her. She was really grateful and said I was an honest girl.
The experience makes me feel happy and I am also proud of myself. I think I really made a right decision. Sometimes, I will think if the same situation occurs again, will I be honest to myself or not. However, I am uncertain to the answer now!!

The most honest thing I have ever done is telling the truth to teacher that she scored my examination paper wrongly. It is really impressed me because I realize that to be honest is more important than getting good grades.
The events happened when I was a junior high school student. We had final exam and the teacher scored our examination papers quickly and gave back them to us. I was really happy at that time because my score is the highest in class. However, when we reviewed the papers again, I found that teacher miscalculated the scores. But if I told the teacher that she scored wrongly, I would lose the chance to get the first place. Also, my parents really looked forward to seeing my awards. I was really in dilemma and I did not know to tell the truth or not. I even had a nightmare that my classmates hated me very much and never told to me because of my dishonest. Finally, I told the teacher next day. Instead of disappointment, I felt happy and relief. Also, the teacher praised my honest in front of everyone in class. I knew that I made the right decision though I did not get the first place. I told my parents, too. They felt happy that I was an honest child. What they cared was my behavior not my grades.
After this event, I know that be an honest person is really important. If I did not tell the truth, I would have lived in regret for a long time. So I want to be an honest person and have clear conscience rather than be dishonest.

The most honest thing I have ever done is turning someone’s wallet. Last year when I was new to the college, I went to the ladies' room in Chung-Cheng library. Unexpectedly, I found a wallet lain on the paper towel after I flushed. It was heavy and quite big. I was shocked and promptly finished washing my hands and turned it in to the counter without opened it.

The librarian was calm and asked me to open it to see if there were any identity cards. Fortunately, there was a student ID card in the wallet. The librarian asked me to leave my contact information.

In fact, I had hesitated whether to turn in the wallet or just left it there. Because such thing have never happen to me before. But I still ended up turning it, when I thought if I was the one who lost the wallet. To stand in someone’s shoes made me to do the right things. I still think that I have done what I can with no regret in heart.

I think all of us have done dishonest things, so have I. And actually, I can't remember how much this kind of things I've done. But I can share the most impressive one with you.

When I was at the fourth grade in the elementary school, I had a lot of reference books. And because my parents are both teachers, they will keep a close watch on my homework. I always felt pressured about that. One time, my father asked me to take my sciencs reference book to let him check out whether I've done. Actually,I hadn't done the exercises. But I was not afraid of him because I had had prepared for it. I copied the answers on the back of the book, and used my red pen to check to pretend that I had marked corrections on it. I happily bring the book to my father and he said " You did a great job." Honestly, this thing haven't been disclosed from then on. I have kept this secret in my heart for a long time. When I recall it now, I feel how I was dishonest then. And I hope I will never lie to my parents again.

I can`t remember what I have done honest and dishonest things before, but I do remember the one thing that was happened in my first grade in elemtery school. It was a monthly exam, and the subject is Chinese. I wasn`t really good at putting a word into a sentence, and I tought that it is too difficult for me to write a good sentence. When I filled the blank in this part, I peeped the one who was next to me. I thought that he wrote better than I, and I changed some of his words into my words. I made a similar sentence as he did. The teacher didn`t find out that I had written a similar sentence as the boy who was next to me. This accident is a narrow escape to me. I knew if I was caught by cheating on the monthly exam, and the result would be really terrible.

When I took my test paper for my mom to sign her name, she found that I cheated on the exam. It is because that I couldn`t write out these words. It is not like my words, and I confessed my guilt to my mom that I did cheated on the test, and she punished me by doing housework for a month.

I think cheating on an examination is so nervous and guilty. It is because that you will be afraid of being caught by someone, and the punishment is really terrible. After this accident, I promised that I will never ever cheat on the exam no matter how difficult for me it is.

It is hard for me to recall the most dishonest thing that I have ever done. Nevertheless, a dishonest thing happened recently and which made me feel a little bit guilty. Last month when I went home, I, my brother and his friends took a bus. We had four people and the ticket was sold eighteen dollars per person, so we should pay seventy-two dollars in total. However, we totally only had fourteen dollars in our pockets. Because the bus wouldn’t give change, we decided to put all our money in to the box. Firstly, the bus driver looked at us doubtfully. After a while, he couldn’t help but ask my brother’s friend how many dollars we throw in the box. My brother answered seventy-two dollars without thinking. It was until then that the driver gave us tickets. At that time, I felt lucky but guilty. Because fourteen dollars even couldn’t afford one person to take a bus, and then we successfully got four tickets. My brother’s reaction was funny and quick-witted. If it was me to be asked, I would stammer and be caught. Although that experience was interesting, I think I will never do that again.

I remenber that when I studied in the elementary school, I had a good friend. His parents had divorced when he was a little baby, and he was brought up by his mother own. One day, he told me that his mother was sick seriously, and he asked me if I can lend him some money to help his mother. As a elementary school student, I didn't have pocketmoney yet. As a result, I took fifty dollars from my mother's wallet everyday to help my friend. Few days later, Mom asked me that whether I took her money. At the beginning, i denied it imediately. After few times of asking, I finally confessed. Mom wasn't angry then. She told me to give her my friend's telephone number, and she wanted to make sure what was going on. To my surprise, my friend's monther wasn't sick at all. He cheated me! After this inccident, I learned a lesson that ''Honesty is the best policy'', especially when we were kids.

Most of girls like the personality tests, and I think they're interesting, too. But I will feel bored if I do too many tests. Because I don't like to spend lots of time reading the questions.
I choose two websites to do the tests. One of them is recommended by Thomas' artical, a test with pictures: http://www.ducknest.com/test/test-11.htm Another one was found by myself, it's full of reading questions:http://www.personalitybook.com/
The first test with pictures is fun, and it's not easy to speculate the result of the test. The result says that I'm the person with "analytical, trustworthy and self-assured personality", whlie I don't think so. This test is not as accurate as I expect. Maybe it's due to the unity of the test, a single picture cannot be seen a man's personality accurately.
The second one needs to spend some time reading it, and the questions are much more detailed. But its question are always surrounded by two obviously personailty, outgoing and steady. So it's easy for me to control the result, I must be the outgoing one. This test is also lack of diversity, it only provides me duality. I think it's not a accurate test.
Haha, I can't realize why there are some girls who believe these tests so deeply.

I used Yahoo! browser to find some personality tests and then I clicked and entered the website which provided many tests for me, so I chose one test which can examine your view on yourself, what type of girlfriend/boyfriend are you looking for, your view on education, and what's your appropriate job etc..
here is a link http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
After answered few questions, the result revealed that I'm an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision to both parties.At least, I agreed this piont of view.However; the next result of the type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for is I like serious, smart and determined people.I don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily my style. This makes me an attractive person in many people's eyes.Actually, I like funny, humorous and good-looking people.However; it's true that I don't judge people by their appearance because I believe ''beauty is but skin deep''.
Some psychological tests are precise,but some are not.Most of them only show our adventage instead of showing our drawbacks. Even though we still can get to know ourselves better by doning some kinds of this tests.

First, sorry about that I didn't do this homework until now.
Few weeks ago, I "googled" a personality test center and spent twenty minutes taking this test. However, I found that it needs to pay for results!! Therefore, I googled another website called "The Big Five Personality Test" and this was my results---http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/results/?oR=0.575&cR=0.611&eR=0.562&aR=0.833&nR=0.5&y=1990&g=m

The results showed that I am somewhat conventional, which really amazing! I konw I am not very open to experience some new things, but I never think that I am so converntional that I got such a low score....!!! I think this personality test is interesting because it will convert the scores we received to "percentile scores". In this way, we can directly compare ourselves to others who have also taken this test. Taking personality tests is very interesting for us to know more about ourselves.

What I chose was a web using pictures rather than questions to test your personality. Here's the link to the web: www.ducknest.com/test/test-11.htm. After surfing on the Net for a while, I found that many of personality tests on the Net make conclusions by asking you lots of questions, which is kind of boring and too common. So, the web I found is a little defferent. The web just lists nine pictures in front of you and ask you to choose one. That's all! I think this kind of tests are fresher than those having you answer a long questionnaire. So welcome to try the tests I posted.

I have to say that I was totally convinced of its accuracy. The results say that "you'd rather be alone than have to suffer small talk. But your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony you need in order to feel good." Though written very detailed, the results are very close to me. What's more, it surprised that this test can give such accurate results by a small move you make.

I believe that there're countless personality tests on the Net. Some believe while others don't. Anyway, as the proverb goes: Belive or not!

I think this lab class was quite interesting and impressive.
It was the first time that we went to international building for class.
We used the earphone to discuss issues with classmates randomly, which we had never experienced before. We could know more thoughts from people outside the group in this way, which improved the effectiveness and joy of the discussion. and , we also used different websites to find different knowledge about racism.
About racial discrimination the result which investigates racism is still a big problem in our world. Everyone have their own advantages, ability to survive. We should respect everyone.
In conclusion , A computer classroom that is fun and we expect even more class.

Big Five Test
The big five test is aimed at analyzing one’s personality. The questions are designed as the antonymic pair in the extreme sides with five levels in the middle, and the examinees have to choose which level best fits oneself. For example, there is a question about open and private. If you think you are close to open, you can choose the first or second level near the open option. If you think the two options are Ok for you, then you choose the third level in the middle. Those are how the test processes.
My results of this test are as following, 75% of extroversion, 50% of orderliness, 58% of emotional stability, 61% of accommodation, and 38% of inquisitiveness. I am not sure if the results are correct to me because I am still exploring myself. However, I think there are some disadvantages in the process of this game. First, I would be confused by the given questions, because I didn’t find the connection between the antonymic pair. Second, if the designer could provide the analysis describe in sentences, which would be better for the examinee to easily and quickly understand. But this test truly helps me understand myself more via the percentage of each personality. I still think this test is worth trying.

This is the second lab class in this semester. Besides some articles, our teacher gave us many small funny tests. I think the way we learn English is not only learn useful information but also make the class fun.

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
This psychometry only has nine questions. It uses our imagination and describes some different situations. Then we need to choose one answer which we may imagine on the intuition. Because every question is designed to test our reaction and is so concrete, my result is very exact! But there are only nine questions and human are so complex, I think somebody's result is not very exact. This examination can only treat as the reference.

http://www.quizbox.com/personality
Then I found this test is one of this website. This website has many different kinds of small tests. Even the kind of personality, it has many different ways to analyze. Such as Toilet Teat, The Color of Your Car and so on. I share this website to my classmates. You can try to know what your personality is or what you think.

I used the yahoo browser and tyed “personality quizzes”to searched the test. Then I find a webside have many interesting tests, one of which seems very cool. the topic of that test is to examine how sexy you are .I clicked the link and wanted to realize whether I am a sexy girl or not. But soon I found that the question inside isn’t suitable for me to finish it .I couldn’t understand some means of some questions so I finally give up. Maybe it is better for people older or mature enough to do it. I began to find another test which conform to the topic of this week’s homework. After a while, I founded this: http://www.quizrocket.com/fun-personality-quiz. This is a test to let us know our personality and learn who we really are. In this test, there are 15 questions about some attitude you have toward your daily life or what solution you will chose to settle the problem. The result of my test is emotional. It’s explantion of my personality is that I am a person who wear my heart on my sleeve. It seems to be easy to observe my emotion. When I am sad, angry or happy, everybody can easily knows what I am thinking about in that moment. It also says that I tend to have lots of crushes on people, such as celebrities, friends. I think the result of the test is accurate to me, I am indeed a emotional person and easy to feel touched. I am also easily to have favorable impression toward people because I can find one’s advantages quickliy and tend to ignore people’s disadvantages. This is really a funny test and let me know more about myself.

Personality quiz could provide us with some information about ourselves. For example, I found a website that we can do some personality quiz, "http://www.prattandlambert.com/color/personality-quiz/interior/." And the following was my consequence. “These colors have all the elements of energy, friendliness and ease. They create a warm and cozy environment. The person who chooses this palette is generous and wants their home to be welcoming and friendly. Comfortable and casual furnishing reflect their desire to entertain and spend more time at home with their family and friends.” And by the way, my category was Sun-Kissed. I thought it is match with my personality well.

Compared with other on-line personality quiz, this quiz added some pictures to its questions, instead of making the quiz full of words. And I thought this way can let the quiz more interesting, because we will have difficulty making ourselves understand the whole question through words easily. That is to say, part of our brain was influenced by colors and pictures. And that was why I chose this one to introduce to everyone. I believed it can provide us with much more useful information.

In addition to my experience about doing personality quiz, there were still something I wanted to share. I loved finding and doing lot of personality quiz when I were free. So I had lots of resources to understand myself. However, strange to say, a few people trusted the quiz so much that they were stuck on the consequence. And then because they too cared about it, they could not make the choice by themselves. It was not a good result. I thought the quiz was made to help us understand the part of ourselves that we had troubles finding on our own way. But if we were controlled by the consequence, it was not the information we wanted. Put simply, I think the personality quiz was far more useful than other ways to understand ourselves if we used it well.

I already know I am a lazy, a little bit forgetful, and a person who always seeks for fun.
Because I'm doing this homework unbelievably late.
And as a matter of fact, I don't really believe this "test", though their reliability may be higher than other analyzes according to people's signs and blood types.
But I think it's necessary to see your character flaws and your merits, and this kind of tests may sometimes do the trick.
Here's the quizzes I've found :
http://www.blogthings.com/worldsshortestpersonalitytest
Oh, I love this one, not only because it's short, but also its accuracy. It said I am a unique, kind of weird person. But it made a lot of mistakes in other describes. I really wonder how it tells so much through only a picture.
Second one:
http://www.dumbspot.com/personality-test
This one is relatively more reliable, comparing to other test I found.
The result said that I am a "clown", who uses humor to bring laughter and make friends.
I think this best describes part of me, and that's when I am with my close friends.
But when hanging around with friends I don't know well, I shut my month and just stand aside watching.
Must-try one:
http://www.allthetests.com/quiz19/quizpu.php?testid=11549 15027&katname=Symbols-/-Colors-/-Animals-related-Personality-Tests
Which Looney Toon are you?
I am 40% Bugs Bunny, 30% Taz and 30% Daffy Duck.
I thought this test got more entertainment effect than practical help, but maybe I was wrong.
Look what it says:"You're a really easy-going guy who doesn't mind stopping to smell the roses. Life's all about good, clean fun!"
It really matches with my thoughts about life! I believe being happy is one of the most important things in one's life. No matter what happens.
After doing so many so-called personality quizzes, did I understand myself further?
Obvious, no. Maybe a little, but just a little.
Indeed this is a interesting way to discover WHO you really are, if you really want to know.
(I don't, do you?)

When I typed personality tests and searched it on the net. It showed lots of websites to me. The website about personality tests which I chose were http://www.gotoquiz.com/personality_quiz_1 . I took a moment to test it and stuck on it! I think the test is exactly right!! Through the easy choice tests, I am shock to the answer after I test it. The test showed that I am a person who is hesitate to make decision, though not always the right one and someone who will try anything once. In addition, others see me as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; the personalities above, I thought they can describe who I am. The personality test is really interest and amused.
I also found a color test, through picking the colors in the order that they make me feel the best, is interesting. The website is http://www.colorquiz.com/ . The consequence showed that I purse all my goals and dreams, fearful that any missed opportunity will cause me to miss out on even more. The result is so much like the consequence of the first one I took. As a result, I thought the color test is more reliable than the first one. Everyone should give the test a try and you will be surprised at the consequence like me!!

I searched some websites about personality tests on Google, and I found a website titled" Your Personality Test"http://www.pedagonet.com/brain/yourpersonality.htm. There were ten questions, and each of them was about your daily habits, such as your position when you sleep, your emotion or response when something happend, and so on.
When I was doing the test, I thought the questions were really closed to my life, so I guess the result of the test might be accurate. However, when I saw the result, I felt somewhat disappointed. The result said that others consider me as lively, charming and interesting, and constantly in the center of attention; in addition, I am considerate and always cheer people up and help them out.
I thought there were two main disadvantages about this personality test. First, there were all about the strong points, and any drawbacks were not mentioned. Second, the result only mentioned about others' viewpoints. I thought others' viewpoints on me were not equal to my personality.
In fact, I had never known how people view me as. When I saw the result, I felt a little bit happy but doubtful. I would like to try to be the person cheering people up and help them out, just as the result said, because I thought this part was insufficient for me.

I do my personality test on this website http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/ , called “The Big Five Personality Test”. I think this website is great and suitable for anyone from any country to take the test, because it not only provides complete information but also questions there are quite impartial. After finishing forty five questions, you can also choose to answer some personal questions like your age, gender, and primary racial identification, country where you live longest, whether to compare with other people, and so on. Then, the website will compare your result with others who had taken the test before according to your answers.
The result analyses my personalities in five aspects, the first is that I enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways. The second is I am well-organized, and reliable. Third, I am neither particularly social nor reserved. Forth, I can be good-natured, courteous, and supportive. And the last of all, I tend to be nervous. I think most of them are quite reliable and are highly similar to my true personalities. So, I think this is a useful website for all people who want to know their personalities, and I consider this topic quite interesting.

I think that the personality quiz and friendship quiz we do in class are interesting and exciting. According to many questions, the results can be some information about our own characteristics and help us to know ourselves better. In addition, we can know what kind of friends we are and how to keep good relationship with our friends. I usually like to do the quiz on the facebook. It is a good way to know our potential ability that we did not know before.
I find other personality and friendship quiz on the Internet, and there are many different ways to test. For example, we can choose the color instead of answering the questions to diagnose our personality. The website is http://www.colorquiz.com/. It is really special. What's more, picture-choosing quiz is popular on the Internet. So, I also find some related quiz about it. There are many pictures and you can choose your favorite one to know what kind of people you are. The website is http://www.personalityquiz.net/shapes/ullazang.htm.
Although the quiz is not absolutely accurate. But it is still really interesting to do the quiz and I can obtain pleasure from it. It also helps me to understand my personality well. After doing the quiz, I can know how to change my disadvantages and make good use of my advantages. In brief, I think that the quiz is meaningful to me.

It was again to use the interesting computer room in the international building. This time, Simon provided us with websites providing many interesting tests to do. The first test I did was finding appositive. Appositive means that an occasion when a simple sentence contains two or more noun phrases that describe the same thing or person, appearing one after the other without a word such as 'and' or 'or' between them. There is a example : My favorite tree, the horse hestnut, stands in our yard. The answer is the horse hestnut.

The second one I did was about personality types. It will give you a sentence to describe the word you have to guess. For example: Person who likes to share many things with others. The correct answer is generous. To compare this test with the first test I did, this test is more meaningful because I learned how to use a complete sentence to describe a personility by English. Moreover, this game can help me to improve my listening ability.

The last one I tried was the game about friendship. It gave you many situations and you have to choose the answer you are likely to react to the situation. After I finish all of the questions, I think the result is not correct about me.

I also found some online websites which can help you to practice listening ability.

During last class, we`ve done some personality quizzes to find out more about our subconsciousness. I looked up some vocabularies when i was browsing a website specify how would different people behave with different personalies. Varieties of results were shown after I submitted my answers on different websites. One of the website deeply impressed me, it classified testees into many kinds of candy bars in accordance of the result. I was categorized as Butter Finger for being patient and peace-loving. I wonder how people know what the personality would be when they concretize a candy bar. The friendship quizzes worth taking as we barely know what our impressions are in someone`s mind. I found a quiz much more realistic because of the detailed occasions in which I can imagine how the condition are like . One of the quesions is " if you and a group of friends have planned a party, and everyone has been assigned for an event. As a leader, what will you do after finding out someone`s ignored her part. Not that the condition is pretty close to mine, but that it makes me feel in reality when taking the quizzes. As exactly what I expected, the result shows that I don`t want any disputes over differences of opinion. I would probably make a win-win situation in a argument. Every time I try different personaly quizzes, I can find some new characteristics coming out. Does that possibly mean I am capricious?

I sought some articles about multiple intelligence and learing styles as well. The theory of multiple intelligence is a science research what kind of ablity is related to a sense organ. Multiple intelligence accounts for the potential in an individual. Being based on I.Q. testing, a person perform better with a higher score on a specific intelligence. For instance, a person is considered skillful on manipulating words when the person has a great score on linquistic intelligence. The person is likely to choose to be a lawyer or a journaist as his career. Those with better logic-mathmatical intelligence possibly choose to be a scientist or an engineer because they perform better than the other with ordinary logic intelligence. The development of brain is consequential, but emotional intelligence cannot be neglected. An E.Q. test examine the ability of cognitive issues such as problem solving. Facing the same difficulty, those with higher E.Q. knows more about how to perceiving emotions when identifying someone`s emotion. Meanwhile, they can recognize and comprehend emotions more accurately compare to those with ordinary E.Q. Some research indicated that I.Q. is not that important when an organization offer a promotion. However, E.Q. accounts for what position a person has in the society. A person with both higher I.Q. and E.Q. can earn more respect and better pay.

After the test of the quiz from what-kind-of-friend-are-you website , I'm not surprise at the result which says that I'm a "People Pleaser".People Pleaser means they care more about others' feeling than themselvess. For me, I alway follow my friends' suggestions or no matter it's good or not. Maybe the outcome truely reflects one of my personalities, mild. In my opinion, the quiz is more appopriate for Westerners than Taiwanese people. By the way, there are several obstacles for me to realize the questions when I tried to finish the quiz. If I had excellent English skills, maybe the outcome of the quiz would be more accurate for me.

During our last class, I have browsed many sites about friendship quizzes. There is certainly an enormous amount of them, and each has its own unique features which made me hard to choose the most suitable and considerable one. Eventually, I've found a site called "Lifescript, healthy living for women"(http://www.lifescript.com/Quizzes/Friendship), and it generally provides much information of health, body, life, and soul. I think it aims at promoting an ideal living life for all women, because it has many commercials and subscription appearing while doing the quiz.

The quiz I did was "friendship personality", it has 10 questions, and all are very closed to everyday life, such as " how would you celebrate your friend's birthday?" and so on. It even has a 4.8 rate voted be more than 1,000 users, which makes it more trustworthy. Also, I like the brief description on this quiz: "Everyone has a different friendship style. Are you a genuine, caring or fun friend? Discovering your role in each friendship can be an enlightening experience, and learning more about yourself can also help you become a better person." Thus I can foresee the purpose and usage of this quiz, and hopefully I may adjust my friendship personality to a better one and help out more friends.

Here comes my result: "You are a Thoughtful Friend

Your friends can count on you to make them feel special. You are considerate of everyone's feelings and want to make sure your friends enjoy the friendship as much as you do. Don't be afraid to stand up to your friends once in a while and tell them what you want to do and don't always allow your friends to have their way because this will just create an uneven balance in the friendship. Try to even up the friendship a bit by allowing a little more give-and-take." Regards to the first two sentences, I believe it is true for anyone; after all, who doesn't want their friends to enjoy this friendship? Over all, I agree pretty much of the result. I do try my best just to make my friends happy and strengthen our invincible friendship. However, I rarely notice that I am often the "listener" or the "advisor" rather than a talky one; I keep my worries to myself sometimes. I'm not sure if that creates an unbalance in my friendship, because as long as my friends like to discuss their thoughts with me, I am more willing to accept any of that to solidify our friendship.

I want to share about the result I've done at the what-kind-of-friend-are-you website. The website says I am a "People Pleaser" and I think that's not true. A "People Pleaser" means they existence to please people, they don't really cares about themselvs but others. Being a people pleaser isn't that bad but I think we should be ourselves. Though sometimes you might have a fight with your frinds, I think it's necessary to let your friends know what you are thinking and what you really cares about. I think the quiz will be more fitable to the westerners because the question is about party, pub , things more likely happens in the U.S.

I found this personality quiz on this web: http://www.learnmyself.com/. It tests for your social skill, resistance of stress and so on. I did similar quizzes before. In this type of quiz, it used a sentence to describe many different characteristics, and then you think whether it accord with yourself or not. The result showed that I don’t like to cater to others who are just acquaintances and I often need privacy and time for myself. I think the most part of the result is accurate. When I’m in large crowds, I tend to feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed.

The other quiz is found on http://www.funquizcards.com/quiz/personality/do-you-love-kids.php. It tests for ”Do you love kids? ”. The reason why this quiz impressed me is that I take service-learning course about accompany children to study after class. Actually, last week, I asked a child to write his homework and he did nothing but cry. I really don’t know how to deal with this circumstance. It made me rethink maybe I’m not good at getting along with children and even don’t like them at all.

The second link also has other interesting quizzes. You can take one of these quizzes just for fun or more realizing yourself by only few clicks.

First, I think that the activities of task 1 is pretty interesting. At the begining, I felt tired of doing these boring practice. However, with my trying to fill out these blanks step by step, I surly found that I could not help to stop myself doing such gripping practice.
Then, in fact, I didn't do task 2. But I was absorbed in task 3. Although I did not get 100%, happily, I learned about a lot of new personality adjectives. By the way, it is so stupid of me to describe a man "cool" often when I have no idea about which appropriate words I could use. A little funny, right? I think these new vocabularies, are useful and suitable to describe people in my life, not only cool.
In my mind, I don't trust the result of the Friendship quiz. Maybe it is more appopriate for Westerners than Taiwanese people. In my opinion, if I had better English skill, the result of the quiz would be more accurate for me. This is because there were some situations in the questions that I could not total realize. What a pity! All in all, it is vrey meaningful for me not only in studying but also in having fun.

On the website http://kids.yam.com/mindgame/, I got many interesting tests to make me better understand myself and my personalities. The questions are not always associated with the results. In this way, I can only answer the question by intuition.

The first test is about the friendship. It asked me when I got lost in the forest, and went through a cave, finally found a wonderland, and then the first person you saw would be? I chose the choice which is a kind old woman. The result told me that I make friends unintendly, besides, it also implied that I won’t make friends whose personalities or viewpoints are different from me. I think the results are more or less accurate.

I like quizzers because they are not only interesting but can also let me realize my potential personalities. The topic really interests me, from the roomates to ourselves, it is closely related to our life. Although the machines had some problems in the lab six class which made some activities could’t be practiced, I still liked the topic.

I think the topic that we did in this lab class is a fantastic one. Because I have rarely done these kinds of tests in English before, it attracted me a lot and let me know how variable these quizes can be. And I found a quiz called "Good friend, bad friend?."

There are ten main questions and two little one in each in this quiz. The former question is for ourselves, and the latter is for our friends. And we need to choose how often we do things that the questions said and how often our friends do this for us. We have to judge it by ourselves. For example, I chose I "sometimes" create a supportive atmosphere, making a point of being cheerful, encouraging, and caring enough to make the other person feel good. And I think my friends "often" do this for me. At the end of the quiz, it will tell us whether our friendship stays in balance.

Through the quiz, I found a thing that I've never noticed before. That is, my friends have done a lot for me but I have not. Although the result said that our friendship has stayed in balance, I decided I have to devote myself more. I can't imagine these little quizes can give me the kind of shock. And I find when you do the tests, you are reflecting upon youself at the same time.

I think the quiz is accurate, so I post the website here: http://www.oprah.com/relationships/The-Friendship-Quiz-Good-Friend-Bad-Friend

I found many quizzes in FunQuizCards.com, such as “Can you keep a secret?” and “Do you enjoy friendships?” In my opinion, all of these quizzes are not so meaningful to me, but in fact, I cannot deny that they are kind of accurate. They are accurate not because the questions in the quizzes were well-devised, but because the outcomes of the analysis are usually general or you can clearly know that which kind of questions would lead you into which kind of outcomes. For example, in the quiz "How friendly are you?” there is a question asking you how easily do you connect with new people. The meaning of this question is clear that if you answer the question with “very easily”, then you will be classified in “you are a very friendly person”; in the other side, if you answer it with “barely, if ever”, than the system would classify you to “you need to be more friendly”. Most of the kinds of quizzes are composed with this kind of questions. Therefore, I think they can be viewed as accurate quizzes in some respects. Just depends.

I choose this test for the reason that I think situation shows the reality of a friend. And after I answered few questions. I found out that some plot were familiar to me. It was amazing that went through the test was like went through again my friendship.

I think the test is accurate for the most part. But some questions seem to designed for the west people. I don’t join party very often, not to mention the beer. Besides, the test was kind of too long. But maybe more questions can improve the accuracy. As for the result, it turns out that I am an average friend. I try to do right by my buds but sometimes get led astray. Maybe the result reminds me that sometimes I need to turn my direction back. Or I will give the wrong advices which I didn’t notice. Getting an English test was different from the Chinese one. From the way it asks to the result it shows. And I like both! Each let me understand myself better.

I used to have this kind of personality quiz on Facebook, but this time I found it on the Yahoo browser. This quiz is a story, I have to imagine myself in this story. I have to follow the story, and make the decision in the situation. It can analyze the view on myself, and the type of boyfriend/ girlfriend I am looking for, the right job for me, etc.

At first, I just followed the story that it gave, and make a choice in three pick one question. Finally, I was shocked by the result because most of the results are accurate. For instance, the answer of what are you most afraid of. It said that I am concerned about my image and the way others see me. I usually do this. I think the first sight that people who meet you is quite important. It can be the chance he or she to be you friend or not.

On the other hand, I think this one is not quite true. It is the one talking about the type of boyfriend I am looking for, and the result said that I am a true romantic. It aslo said,'' when you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep my love true.'' I don`t really understand what these words are talking about, but I think that I am not the one who is a true romantic.

This homework is so fun because I like to do this kind of personality quizzes to let me know myself clear. The following website is the quiz I took.

This topic really interests me because I usually do this kind of quiz when I have free time. But I always do it in chinese. This is my first time to do personality in Enslish.

I find a quiz called Chocolate Personality Quiz. I choose it because I like to eat chocolate. Most of this kind of quiz would ask some ordinary in your daily life. I do so much this kind of quiz. So I choose a quiz looked more speciel than other quiz. The quiz about chocolate really attract me. It ask me some questions about the chocolate. For example, what's kind of the chocolae appear in your mind when you close your eye? When do you eat the chocolate? How often do you eat the chocolate? I am really confused about how it can know my personality by this strange question.

Finally, the result said that I am the chocolate explorer. it said that I am a free-spirited adventurer. I like to try new thing but I stand by my conviction. He guess that maybe I will try chocolate with grasshopper if I can find it.

I don't think it totally ture about myself. I think I am not a adventurer and I will never try chocolate with grasshopper if I am still cleare-headed. There are some strange question in the quiz. It ask me about my favorite muisc and star. But I don't know the people and muisc it said. So I think this quiz is not right!

First, I would like to say that this topic really attracted me, which deeply related to our life.
And then, I had done a personality test on my own, cheaking who I really am. At the beginning, I didn't have a trust on it.However, before asked for 4 questions, I was totally surprised. I think this test is accurate, most of the contents reflects my personalities. For instance, I am too ideal to anything, and do nothing or not make decisions immediately before doing anything.Because I think everything will probably alter in every seconds, as the test says," You hate to be boxed into anything,so you hesitate and resist making decisions...always look for new and novel..." Certainly, I have a hard time separating work from leisure in that I hope I can do better on my part-time job, in so doing, I usually don't relax on weekends. However, I can find something intersting during my work, so that I can look out something new to me.
There is an analysis that is not really true. In fact, I am not a studious person,which don't respond to the contents saying "There's always a better way or a better answer to this question"Nevertheless, I do feel enthusiastic about something I love.
Eventually, although the consequence is quit accurate, I still have to take this as a reference, and keep encouraging myself to be a better man.

I search the personality test on the yahoo browser whose website address is http://haleonline.com/psychtest/. Generally speaking, I think it is very accurate in some part of it, but there are still some opinions that I don't agree at all.According to the report, I am a systematic, thorough, painstaking, and hardworking person.And it also says that my personality are serious, responsible and sensible.My word is always my solemn vow. In the daily life, I take everything practical and realisitic.I like to apply past experience to present decisions and I also like to schedule even my leisure time.Though I think the analysis of my personality are too positive, but it do reflect some of my daily life.When I confront the new challenge, I usually take the safest action which is based on my past experience.If the situation is unfamiliar to me at all, I would evaluate it seriousely before I make the decision.I will accomplish my promise definitely, because in my opinion, I would rather refuse the invitation if I have no confidence to do it well.I also like to do everything in order, so that I can handle it well and reducing the sudden crisis.Though the test result is great to me, it is just a reference.I think all I have to do is doing thing step by step and seek to do the right thing at the appropriate time.

2 semester first we studied in international building with new student
This class gave me a funny experience
Put headphone and practiced speak I think this is very interesting and impressive
In addition We studied about KKK. KKK is Ku Klux Klan
The first Klan was founded in 1865 by Tennessee veterans of the Confederate Army
In 1870 and 1871 the federal government passed the Force Acts,
which were used to prosecute Klan crimes. Prosecution of Klan crimes and enforcement of the Force Acts suppressed Klan activity.
In 1874 and later, however,newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations such as the White League and the Red Shirts started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing Republican voting and running Republicans out of office
I am more expected this semester English class more

I enjoy the class in the lab class this time. Before this class, I never have class in the foreign language center. My classes are always beside the mountain. This class really excites me.

The task impress me most is task2. In this class, we discuss about the racism around the world. I have heard some racism happened in some country. But I didn’t understand it so much. Like KKK, I know it a group that oppose black people. But I didn’t know when it start , why it happened ,and where is it. We find some topic we like and search many information in website. Then, we use the microphone and earphone to talk to other students. It is so interesting that we talk to each other without face to face. In the past, we always discuss with the groupmates. We seldom discuss with the other classmates. But we now can talk to any classmates by random.It so cool!

This class is so interesting and funny. But unfortunately, I lose my pen drive in the class. I hope I can get it back soon.

There are always new and interesting resources of learning English I found in NCCU everytime when taking class in lab. It is so wonderful that I can sit in a comfortable and technological classroom to learn English. It was my first time to speak English with my classmates by using earphone. The topic my partner shared with me was something about The Stephen Lawrence murder. The murder of Stephen Lawrence is a notable murder case surrounding the killing of an 18-year-old sixth form student.it was suggested during the course of investigation that the murder had a racist motive and that Lawrence was killed because he was black. The case is of extreme importance in British legal history as it heavily contributed to the creation and passing of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 that altered the centuries-old principle of double jeopardy .

The topic I was interested in was KKK. Why I choose this one was because that KKK is a notorious name in many novels or movies. However, I knew little about them. According to the wiki, Ku Klux Klan, often abbreviated KKK and informally known as The Klan, is the name of several past and present in the United States whose avowed purpose is to protect the rights and further the interests of White Americans of Protestant faith by violence and intimidation.

After talking to my partner, I visited the website Simon gave us. It is a interesting website providing much information about the police. Moreover, it provided you with a challenge which could let you know whether you have the ability of being the police or not.

I really had great time in such a cool classroom:)

I have to say that the lab class was freaking awesome. It was my first time to chatting with my classmates by earphones, which made me a little nervous. Kind of shy and nervous, though, I think my partners and I discussed and shared a lot. Everyone spoke fluently, but I guessed we just read it out what we saw on the computer screen, haha! By the way, the moment computer picking your partner at random was exciting because it's really difficult that your partner is the very person you're familiar with.

What impressed me was my partner Angel and Hewitt. I chose "the Ku Klux Klan", and Angel chose "the White Australian Policy", while Hewitt chose "Stephen Lawrence Murder". They both shared their each topic well. And it's cool that through the chatting, none of us use Chinese!

I think this kind of lab class will definitely do us good. Cause wearing earphones makes us have to listen to what they're talking about from the other side, and also makes you to speak as reaction. As a result, we are more courageous to speak out loud. If possible, I hpoe that professor might arrange more speaking class, which enhances our speaking skill significantly.

Last week, It was my first time to have a new lab class in internatioal building. Wearing headphone to talk to someone who matched by teacher was the most special way that I had ever took. At first, I could hear everybody. Several seconds after, I could only hear a person that I didn't know. Task two and Task five impressed me a lot. In task two, three K party attract me very much, so I got some information about three K party. Three K party is the name of several past and present far right hate group in the United States whose avowed purpose is to protect the rights and further the interests of white Americans by violence and intimidation. With this information, I had understood more deeply about the history of three K party. In task five, I browse Essex Police and Houston Police websites. Two websites had the same things: they are colorful and there are many pictures (compared with NYPD website). Furthermore, they can supply much information about police for citizens to understand what they are and what they do. I had never used police websites, so I'm glad to have this opportunity to experience. What an impressive lab class!

Last week, we have different lab class in international building. The facilities of the lab are better than before. Especially, the new way for learning English made me impressive. We wore headphones to practice speaking, just like chatting on the phone with friends.
In task 2, I searched for “the Stephen Lawrence murder”. It happened in 1993. A black British teenager, 18 years old, was murdered by a group of white men when he was waiting for a bus. The racism between black and white has kept for a long time. Although many people, like Dr. Martin Luther King in the 1950s, advocated that all men are created equal, the discrimination still exists now, even in the future. It’s couldn’t be solved instantly, but we can make justice gradually rooted in everyone’s mind.
The task 3 is interesting, but I only got 7 points. It said that I would put the public in danger because I only thought that I should arrest the robbers first. If it had not been for this class, I wouldn’t have had this chance to know more the work of the police and enter the police website. It’s a good experience for me.

Last week, we went to a new laboratory which is on the mountain, and being compared with the original one, the new lab is really suitable for our class use.
The most interesting part in the class was when Simon asked us to wear the headphone, then talked to another person in the class, but we don't know which classmate we're talking to ! It's really a fun, inspiring way to practice speaking, because we all want to know who's on the phone, we can not stop speaking.
And in the class, I searched the "Stephen Lawrence Murder" case, which is about a black man being stabbed to death, but the murderer was not convicted. It's all about racism, a relative serious topic to discuss; here in Taiwan is no severe racial discrimination, but yes, it still exists.
Although almost all of us understand the meaning of justice&fairness, racism and discrimination is everywhere, more or less, even now in the 21st century. Arguing who is to blame and why it happened is not helping at all, like what's told in the famous words by Dr.King, "Why can't we all just get along?"
Anyway, racism is not a easy problem to handle and solve all by particular ones; it relies on the whole society and world to strike a balance and some kind of a compromise.

Actually,I really had a good time in the class last week,because we had chances to discuss the brand new
issus,including racial discrimination,police website and so on.On the other hand, we could know some of
classmates in class beacause of "computer microphone" which was very cool.However,I really payed attension to Task 2. As I remembered,I read "I have a dream" that was written by Martin Luther. After reading it,I felt touched and agitated. I think people born equal. Everyone has same right to live,to pursue thier happiness no matter what color or nationality they are. Then I found some information about “Keep Australia White” policy.

The policy was dismantled in stages by successive governments after the conclusion of World War II, with the encouragement of first non-British and later non-white immigration. From 1973 on, the White Australia policy was for all practical purposes defunct, and in 1975 the Australian government passed the Racial Discrimination Act, which made racially-based selection criteria illegal.( based on google)

During that time, white people set a rule that people from other country have to take a "language test" in order to cheak your nationality. In fact, the main reason was to cheak whether you were white.I think it was not fair.Although immigrated people was majority, they didn't have equal right in that country.

Racism is still a big problem in our world. Everyone have their own advantages,ability to survive. We should respect everyone.As a saying goes," Don't judge a man by its appearence"
