Well, sometimes there's really nothing going on- Free Write Stuffs 5

As usual, I am studying, day and night. If I am not studying, I am either sleeping or eating, or perhaps on the way to the library to study. I know my life sounds boring, but that is mostly what I do recently as my GMAT test is approaching (It's on the 22nd of April, oh god !) My brain is mostly filled with grammar rules, adverb clauses, pronoun agreements, linking verb...etc, or not, it is about critical reasoning, AWA writings and reading comprehension.

Yeah, you are right, I am under a lot of pressure. I know that we should just relax and try to enjoy the beautiful things around us when approaching a test, but I just could not find something to share or talk or even think of any interesting things that happened this week.

Perhaps the best thing that happened this week is having a wonderful dinner with my family, including my grandparents and my aunties. We had roasted potatoes, it taste super delicious. I am not sure if it is because I scored really high in my prep exam before eating the roasted potatoes (however, it does not mean I am good at GMAT now. In fact, I have done most of the verbal questions in the cram school before taking the prep exam), or it is because the potatoes were especially good in hard times of life (I mean when preparing for an exam), the potatoes were the best ones I have ever tested in my life.

Finally, hope all of you can have a wonderful spring break and please wish me luck on the test :) Moreover, if you are not in a good mood recently, perhaps you can try the roasted potatoes, they are wonderful !

My Favorite App Game - Free Write Stuffs 4

This week I could like to talk about my favorite I-phone application game- Snoopy's Street Fair. I really enjoy this game because Snoopy is my favorite cartoon characters and this game has whole loads of adorable Snoopy characters, such as, of course, Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus...etc... Moreover, this application charges no fee but has high quality images, beautiful computerized street fair stores, and many many cute decorations for one's street fair.

In the street fair, players can build different stores and sell different products to customers to earn money and experience percentages. After getting enough money and experience percentages, players will get upgraded and be allowed to buy newly unlocked stores, or even expand their street fairs.

However, if a player wants to buy really special things for the street fair, such as the love tree in the picture above, he or she will have to spend Snoopy tickets, which can be earned through only two ways, one is to play for five consecutive days, and the other is whenever a player get upgraded, the game will give the player two Snoopy tickets. Otherwise, a player will have to spend real money to buy Snoopy tickets !

Well, this week, I spent 90 NT dollars buying 35 Snoopy tickets to buy this love tree. I could not help it, it is so cute and I have been saving Snoopy tickets for a long time but still could not buy the tree, I am in deed in level 27 now ! So we can see how hard it is to buy an adorable tree !

Zoey Deschanel's Song- Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkzRyHa9a6g

This time for 15 minute free write, I would like to share one of my favorite singers- Zoey Deschanel with everyone. Zoey is a cute girl, and her style is really distinct, in other words, she is the kind of girl who always stands out in the coward. Her music, like herself in person, is of a unique style that can always catch my attention. Moreover, her MV (music video) is even cooler, unlike most popular singer's MV, Zoey's MV is not about beautiful ladies and handsome men falling in love or breaking up, but about cute dancings with montage filming or metaphors of life.

The reason why Zoey is of great importance to me is because whenever I am in a bad mood, her music always cheers me up as though there is magic in the melody. Especially her album "She & Him", every song in that album is awesome, and really heals human soul (at least my soul!) Take the first song, The Sentimental Herat, in the album for example, when I came upon hard times in life and could not find a way to express my emotions, I would listen to that song, and the song always made me feel that its lyrics actually transformed my emotions into words accurately !

Music have always been a great part of my life, and Zoey has accompanied my through not only hard times but also happy times in life. How about your favorite singer and favorite song?

btw, the album "She & Him" is by Zoey and her guitarist.

Short Stories Of My Group Members- Free Write Stuffs 2

This week I would like to share some short stories of my group partners, Sally and Michelle, with everybody.

Firstly, there is Sally. Sally is really fond of Mocha, a form of green tea power, and last week she went to a store that only sales Mocha. As she dined in the restaurant, everything tasted so good in Mocha for her. After finishing the "Mocha feast", she compares another specialized Mocha-selling store with the one she went to last week, and eventually, she came to the conclusion that the one she went to last week was in fact the best Mocha store she had ever been to.

p.s. That Mocha store is in Yong-Kang street (永康), perhaps people who are also fond of Mocha can ask Sally about the store's information :) 

Secondly, it is Michelle. Michelle is having her driving license's test today and tomorrow. She passed her writing test today and is going to take the hands-on test tomorrow. Last week, there were many new drivers joining her on her training, as the new drivers were very slow, she got really frustrated at them. Unfortunately, due to her frustration, she accidentally misstepped the gas pedal for the brake and bumped onto the wall. After the accident, she had to pay 2,400 dollars for the damage she made. 

Life of the GMAT- Free write stuffs 1

I prepared for the GMAT test the whole winter vacation. I kept studying and going to tuition and studying and attending classes, it was really tiring but I hope I will get good grades in the end, maybe about 700 and above. Among most of the testing subjects, I am most worried about the reading comprehension, well, sentence correction is also a big challenge; however I have overcome it this winter vacation through studying grammar real hard! Yeah, I meant Real Hard !

Reading comprehension, on the other hand, is really difficult and requires a lot of hard work and practice. It takes not only good reading skills but also the ability to analysis reading passages precisely. Moreover, I think my vocabulary has not improved since high school, in fact, my vocabulary has actually failed behind after entering university. Therefore, I am planing to improve my vocabulary from now on. 

The other thing about GMAT is that, I had to get really good scores because I need to apply for the scholarship in my graduate school. That is to say, I had to work even harder to meet the goal of scoring 700 and above in order to go abroad. Speaking of GMAT, it is actually quite frustrating for me to free write now as I kept thinking and correcting sentences whenever I see one. That is really bothering me at this minute as I spot tons of mistakes in my writing and could not go back and correct it!
