#這學期真的超級充實⁣
⁣
很喜歡我們的老師⁣
真的教的超好👍⁣
班上上課的氣氛也很好⁣
大家的態度都很積極的學習⁣
也會互相糾正一起進步💕⁣
⁣
除了聽力考試、發音考試、口說考試⁣
有兩個報告⁣
一個專案我選擇了介紹如何在澳洲買房⁣
因為覺得很實用⁣
有天班上的同學也可以會需要這方面的資訊⁣
另一個報告⁣
老師提供很多主題讓我們選擇⁣
像是老師的薪水該跟醫生一樣嗎？⁣
孩子課後需要去打工嗎？⁣
而我選擇的是我們該成為素食者嗎？⁣
看到這個主題的時候
我就馬上就想選擇這個題目⁣
報告的過程中需要使用說服語句、加強語氣、一些特定用法⋯（老師依此來評分）⁣
當然是講英文報告啦！⁣
報告完成後真的覺得學到很多東西也更進步了⁣
語言這個東西
真的就是要使用在生活中才會變成你的⁣
⁣
星期一就要開學了！⁣
怎麼覺得我的School holiday 好不夠啊！🤣⁣
⁣
—————————————⁣
#This semester is really super fulfilling！⁣
⁣
Like our teacher very much⁣
Really teaches super well👍The atmosphere in the class is also very good.⁣
Everyone is very active in learning English.⁣
We corrected each other and make us become better together💕⁣
⁣
Besides listening test, speaking test and pronunciation test⁣
There are two reports:⁣
For the project I chose to introduce how to buy a house in Australia⁣
Because I think it's very practical and someday my classmates may also need this information⁣
Another report⁣
The teacher provides many topics for us to choose⁣
Should the salary of a teacher be the same as a doctor?⁣
Do children need to work part-time after class?⁣
And what I choose is should we become vegetarians?⁣
When I saw this theme, I immediately wanted to choose this one.⁣
In the process of reporting, you need to use persuasive sentences, strengthen the tone, and some specific ways like linking words ... (the teacher will score according to this)⁣
Of course the report is in English!⁣
After the report, I really feel that I have learned a lot and improved.⁣
Language really needs to be used in daily life.⁣
⁣
School will start this coming Monday.
Why do I think my school holidays are not good enough! 🤣⁣

[#學習心得] 不知道大家有沒有試過，因為依靠邏輯、依靠 assumption（假設），沒有確認而「撞板」出錯。

最常見的撞板例子有：
🛑 誤以為 inflammable 是不易燃，flammable 是易燃；
🛑 誤以為 either [ˈaɪ.ðər]是英式發音；either [ˈiː.ðɚ]是美式發音；
🛑 誤以為 I advise that he leave immediately 裡面的 leave 因為第三身單數要加s 所以要說 I advise that he leaves immediately，不知道其實要用 subjunctive mood。

是故，語文學不好，未必因為不聰明，而可能是因為聰明反被聰明誤。學語文和做科學一樣，一樣要大膽假設，小心求證啊！

闖入西洋樂壇金榜·鍾潔希擊敗席琳奪亞軍
Jessie Chung Rises to International Charts Beats Celine and Takes Second Place
星洲日报·娱乐·报道：黄宝君·2016.11.13

（莎亞南13日訊）鍾潔希早前剛推出的新英語專輯《There You Are》獲得不錯迴響，成功登上華人音樂市場最具權威影響力的5大金榜，發售首周便勇奪亞軍寶座，成功擊敗天后席琳狄翁（Celine Dion），成績僅次予女神卡卡（Lady Gaga），獲唱片公司頒發“音樂傑出表現獎”，讓她感到不可思議直呼：“我竟然打敗席琳，你們能相信嗎？”

鍾潔希以金發洋妞造型推出首張英語專輯，在台灣5大金榜西洋樂壇金榜亞軍位置，僅次於女神卡卡的新專輯，同時也是有史以來唯一能夠闖入西洋樂壇金榜的大馬歌手。鍾潔希笑言，當被告知喜訊之時，她一度不敢相信，直至自己親自上網查詢，讓她興奮如同獲得奧斯卡獎項般驚喜不已，笑稱：“我竟然打敗席琳，你們能相信嗎？”

12日下午，她在大馬開心舉辦慶功宴，並且在大馬和新加坡華納音樂董事經理蔡經明以及澳洲未來娛樂暨音樂集團代表的見證下，獲頒“音樂傑出表現獎”。她感慨表示，演藝圈這條路不容易走，無論自己多努力，背後總是會有負面的聲音出現，但她選擇寬恕與遺忘。

首張英語專輯獲得如此好成績，鍾潔希決定趁勢追擊，預計明年初再推出第2張英語專輯，慶功宴上也率先曝光新歌《Forever Young》MV，讓在場觀眾一睹為快。鍾潔希表示每次發片，都口頭承諾這是最後一次發片，但她坦言，內心還是放不下演藝事業，並透露目前已經錄製了3首歌，之後還要飛往澳洲籌備其餘6首歌的錄音及MV拍攝。

另外，她也透露明年2月將赴南非宣傳新專輯行程，計劃到歐洲、非洲、紐約等地展開巡演。雖然能夠進軍美國讓她十分開心與期待，不過，她卻表示自己其實非常擔心到非洲，“聽說當地很危險，但老闆在台灣舉辦專輯發布會時宣布這個消息，先下手為強，讓我沒辦法拒絕。”

Jessie Chung Rises to International Charts Beats Celine and Takes Second Place
Sin Chew Daily Entertainment 2016.11.13

Jessie Chung’s brand new album There You Are has received great reception and has successfully entered into the most influential and authoritative chart in the Taiwanese music industry, Five Music, debuting at number two on the Top 5 Chart for international albums, overtaking Celine Dion and placing right next to Lady Gaga. For her triumphs, Jessie’s record label presented her with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry; Jessie herself was rendered speechless by the astonishing fact and said, “I beat Celine, can you believe it?”

Rocking her new blonde hairstyle, Jessie Chung released her debut album, debuting at number two on the Top 5 Chart for international albums, overtaking Celine Dion and placing right next to Lady Gaga. At the same time, she is the first and so far only Malaysian singer who has ventured into the top end of the prestigious international chart. Jessie Chung said that when she received the news, she was shocked and filled with disbelief. Only until she had checked online herself did she believe that her album actually placed in the chart, immediately she was filled with elation and felt as if she had just won an Oscar. Overjoyed, she said, “I beat Celine, can you believe it?”

At noon, she cheerfully attended the achievement celebration organized by her record label. Mr. Darren Choy, Managing Director of Warner Music Group Malaysia & Singapore and Chairman of the Recording Industry Association of Malaysia and Mr. Sein Way Tan, Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia representative, presented Jessie with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry. Welling up with emotions, she stated that the entertainment industry isn’t a walk in the park. No matter how hard one strives, negative voices will always appear out of nowhere. Despite the harsh criticism, Jessie chooses to forgive and forget.

Jessie’s debut English album received so much success that she had decided to follow up with a sophomore album, set to be released early next year. Her “Forever Young” music video was also premiered during the achievement celebration, which charged the attendees with excitement and anticipation. Jessie Chung stated that every time she released an album, she promised herself that it would be her last album. However she disclosed that deep down she is still unprepared to leave the music industry, and she has already recorded three songs; she will be flying to Australia to finish the remaining six songs and film the rest of her music videos.

In addition, she also divulged that she would be flying to South Africa next year in February to promote her new album, with further plans to enter Europe, Africa, New York and other places to open concerts. Although the thought at entering into the U.S. music scene makes her jump with joy and anticipation, she revealed that she is actually quite afraid of going to Africa. “I’ve heard rumors that it’s dangerous over there, but my boss took the initiative and discussed about it at the press conference in Taiwan, and now I’m forced to comply.”

I had two roommates that kept eating all of my food. Although classes haven't started, I had already moved into my dorm. One day, I made myself a peanut butter sandwich. I put my sandwich on the table, and ten minutes later, it was gone. My roommate ate it. About a week later, I decided to make myself another peanut butter sandwich. I opened my cupboard and saw that my roommates left an empty jar in my cupboard. I flipped out because who eats a whole jar of peanut butter, without introducing themselves? These girls would scarf down all my food, and complain if they thought anyone was touching their food. So I started buying really fattening food such as doughnuts, pies, cakes. I was trying to teach them self-restraint, but these girls would go through these boxes within two days. So I kept buying doughnuts and desserts. And then one day they started complaining about how they couldn't fit their jeans. Success. I also put laxatives in my peanut butter.

My roommate freshman year got completely hammered, came back to the room around 1 in the morning, and accused me of stealing the pudding in her fridge that she *had ate* an hour before she went out. She waited until I fell asleep and then stabbed me in the arm with one of those clicky pencils…I had to go to the hospital to get it cleaned/stitched. She got kicked out.

hammered 嚴重酒醉

I got absolutely hammered and pissed all over my roommates desk the night before the end of the year. I woke up to him hanging up his money to dry out. Years later he ended up as my boss and ended up giving me a significant promotion. I guess he doesn't hold grudges.

It was move out day and my roommate was working on a paper last minute. I was packing my stuff. His parents walked in and were absolutely pissed that he wasn't packed yet. They immediately started scolding him while I was still in the room, but thankfully I had a final to go to and figured I'd dodge the storm. I said my goodbyes, assuming they'd be gone by the time I got back from my two hour final and went on my way. As it happens, my final only took twenty minutes so I got back much sooner than they'd have expected. I opened the door, saw my roommate bent over his bed with his bare ass showing just as his mom wound up for a spank. I quickly closed the door and went over to a friend's dorm until I felt safe enough to return. I never brought it up to him after that.

----單字----
paper 這裡是指報告
scolding 責罵
dodge the storm 避風頭
assuming 假設、預設
