The article “countdown” we discussed this week describes the author’s car-travel experience in twelve hours, from joyfulness leaving his uncle’s house to loneliness his own home. We as readers have seen what the writer sees along the journey as well as his emotions and moods. Good description relies mostly on the use of sensory language to evoke our five senses of sight, touch, taste, smell, and sound.
The journal entry for this week is to discuss your impression of ONE place you have been that are different from those you are used to and the qualities of that place most impress you.
The most memorable place is my uncle’s home in Yunlin countryside. Yunlin is not as crowded as Taipei. Also the air is so fresh that I take a deep breath I feel more energetic. To my surprised, the house is standing erect in the vast field. I have been there almost every winnter vaction and always enjoy the country life,
The most memorable place is Japan. Janpan is a big country. I like their food. For example, strawerry ice cream is good for health. Strawberry’s appearance will let you have to desire to eat.There are many things that I want to know. If I have opporyunity to go to Japen again, I believe that I would find another interesting things.
The most memorable place is Shanghai China, This place is heart of China’s economy and big financial market.
So, there are many famous foreign corporations sat the
outlet companys overthere. we can see many different foreign people living overthere.
There are many foreigh shops for foods, toys, clothes and books that I can find it. I believe this place is so interesting.
The most memorable place in my mind is Hokkaido in Japan. It was winter when I went to Japan with my families. There were snows covering all of the buildings. And the snow would sparkle when the sun shone upon the snow. So I would like to go there again and enjoy the sceneries in Hokkaido.
The most memorable place I guessed is my grandma’s home. My grandma raised me up when I was a baby. I spend lots of time here. The life here is peaceful, it’s totally different form city. And the people here knows me, they know who I am. It makes me feel back home and they are my family. And back the place where I belongs.
The place that impress me the most is the bathroom in the capmsite of the freshman camping last year. I know the bathrooms in the camsites like last year won’t be as comfortable as the bathrooms at home. However, the bathrooms in the campsite last year are really terrible. We don’t have any shelters to put our towels or clothe. Also it’s pretty messy inside. What’s more there is a spider web on the top of the bathroom.
I guess this is the most horrible bathroom in my life.
I was born in Miaoli(苗栗) and lived with my grandparents until 7 years old. Every morning, as the sunlight sprinkled into my bed, the warm atmosphere filled the whole room. Suddenly, the rooster’s crow totally woke me. Once the leader started to crow, the rest of the roosters would follow one by one that was really annoyed me. Unlike the roosters, while I stepped outside to embrace the warm sunshine, several songs were played by numerous sparrows elegantly standing on the wire pole. It was a symphony chorus, different singers brought together to form a perfect chord. Right in front of me, there were an abundance of rice fields all of which was as immense as a basketball court. With the smooth wind blowing across the golden spike of rice, it was like a green woolen blanket and I was eager to jump onto it, immerse myself in the nature. A tremendous rumble broke the silence. In the meanwhile, a white Taiwan High Speed Rail came across near my grandparent’s house which aroused a tremendous noise along with a whirlwind carrying clouds of dust swept across the reign. I was shocked when I first saw the Taiwan High Speed Rail in such a close distance; it was so speedily that it only lasted about 10 seconds. As my grandmother heard the huge noise and quickly run out to catch the Taiwan High Speed Rail, it was already passed away only with the huge noise echoed across the mountains. Miaoli was a place where I could touch the nature’s beauty and enjoy the carefree life that I had never experience in Taipei.
The most memorable place for me is my junior high school, SHU LIN. The place is filled with my tracks and memory. I remember that my classmates and I chatted or read newspaper in class and teacher told us that we should be quiet and pay our attention. Out of class, we would keep chatting or went to toilet together. I also remember the hard period we studied together from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at school in order to test for a good university. We regarded SHU LIN Junior High School as our home. I never forget that it was a place where full of laugh, warm, and touching.
I lived with my grandparents before I went to elementary school. I learned how to walking, speaking, riding and planning there, therefore my grandparents’ home was not only a memorable place, but also a meaningful place to me.
My grandparents’ home was located in a secluded and silence countryside. There are several advantages here. First, you can ride the bicycle anywhere and don’t have to concern about there would be many cars on the road. For this reason, I could ride bicycle when I was three years old because I could practicing anywhere. Another, I learned planning vegetable and fruit. I thought it would be a special experience to those who live in city. And still another, there air was really fresh. I guess that made me had a healthy trachea.
A memorable place can affect a person a lot, and my grandparents’ home did.
The memorable place is the Green Island. I have been to there with my friends two years ago. That is my first time to go to the distant place. As arriving there, there is a wide ocean surrounding the island. I find people who lives there are very passionate. For example, when we lived in B&B, he treated us sashimi for free. To my surprise, there is no streetlamp on the mountain contrast to Taipei because the authority protects the island from light pollution. Next day, I went snorkeling where I saw the amazing world under the sea. There are many creatures which cannot see in Taipei. One day I will go there and live for a long time, I want to experience their way of life.
I was been living in Chung Hu for 20 years. There are many stores around my house so I can easy get something like food or artiles for daily use. It only takes me 5 minutes to get something, it really convenient for us who living here. Besides convenient to purchase merchindise, it is also convenient to go anywhere I want to go. Since there are a lot people lived there, it become a place whith a lot of schools. I love where I live.
A memorable place for me is aunt’s home in Vancouver and I’ve been there twice since I was in junior high. In the beginning, I resisted owing to afraid of going strange environment by myself but finally I admitted by parents’ encouragement. First day, as I arrived in Vancouver and stepped into home, I felt so warm by my cousins’ welcome. There was a big yard in the front of their house. I like that so much and spent a lot of time playing ball and walking the dog because house with beautiful yard and was my imaginary one. The house was so big with two three stores. I had my own room in second floor for that summer vacation. Decoration in the house seemed very luxurious and splendid. I had a lot of wonderful memory at that house,and hoped that I have the chance to visit there.
The memorable place to me is Guam and I went to there with my family when I was an elementary student. That is my first time to go abroad, and I felt everything is fresh. Guam is always summer in a year, so it’s always good weather with a big sunshine, and the ocean around the island, so that’s why the beach activities are necessary. I had many activities there, including banana boating, jet skiing, motor boating, parasailing; all these activities were fun and let me excited! The most impressive activity to me is parasail; it really got me scary, because the parasail flied in the sky, and it moved by ship navigated with a line between the ship and the parasail, and we almost had no any seat belt on our set, even we wore life jackets, but it’s possible to full down.However, I like Guam where has good weather all seasons, and the place full of happy memories with my family, I won’t forget here, and I hope I can go to there with my family, my friends or my boyfriend in the future to create new memories.
