Summary of the Graduation Present

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. He told to his father that he wants a sports car. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study and gave him a gift box. The young man opened the box happily but became angry and stormed out of the house when he saw the gift was a Bible. Many years passed, the young man was very successful and had a wonderful family. Before he made arrangements to see his father, he received a telegram telling his father had died. When he arrived at his father’s house, he felt sad and regretful. He found the still new Bible which he had left years ago. He opened the Bible and read the pages which his father underlined with tears.

A Heartwarming Comedy – Freaky Friday

A Heartwarming Comedy – Freaky Friday

Freaky Friday is one of my favorite movies. The reason why I love it not only it is a comedy film but also it shows the relationship between a single and a rebellious daughter. Besides, this movie was acted by my favorite actresses ─ Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. After seeing this movie, I acquired that people need to learn something from other’s point of view.

Freaky Friday describes Dr. Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) have one thing in common – they don’t relate to each other on anything. Then one night a little mystic mayhem changes their lives and they wake up to the biggest freak-out ever. Tess and Anna are trapped inside each other’s body. However, Tess’s wedding is Saturday and the two must find a way to switch back fast.

Tess and Anna gained respect and understanding for each other while they switched. When Tess became Anna, she needed to go to school instead of going to work. Tess made many jokes in school; however, she realized her daughter’s school life and interest. Tess played guitar and understood the boy which Anna liked. Meanwhile, Anna had to go to work and changed Tess’s hairstyle and clothes. Anna realized her mother’s hard-working and her love to children. Therefore, she could accept Tess’s remarriage. Finally, they changed back because of their love and understanding.

Sometimes, I don’t like my mom’s behavior and discipline. However, after seeing Freaky Friday, I try to think as my mom and understand why she does this to me. I know my mom really loves me and wants me to be good and happy. At the same time, I ask my mom try to think as my position. Therefore, we get closer then ever. Freaky Friday let me learn the great of family.

Winter Vacation Journey

Winter Vacation Journey

Winter, a very cold and damp weather, but is also a happy season. There are many happy and wonderful festivals in winter, such as Christmas, Chinese New Year, and the most important “Winter Vacation.” I had party or date with my friends in each festival. I had a very great time in this winter.
First, Christmas is one of important and festive holidays. One of my best friends who study abroad in England just comes back Taiwan. I found many friends and had lunch in good restaurant. We ate, talked, and laughed in lunch. It’s difficult for us to gather together. After lunch, we played in park just like kids. It was a very great and happy time.
Second, Chinese New Year is a very important festival to Chinese. Chinese New Year means family get together. We cleaned our house together, we had big dinner together and we shared happy things together. I do love Chinese New Year because I could see many relatives that we can’t meet each other all the time. I always look forward to Chinese New Year when winter comes.
Final, winter vacation is also my favorite festival. I took a trip to Tai-chung with my classmates. We had very happy two days in Tai-chung. I think that it is a very beautiful and convenient city. We ate many delicious foods and visited pretty Lavender Garden. Besides Tai-chung, I also went to Xin-beitou to have hot spring with my best friends. We had hot spring in private room not in public. Having hot spring in cold winter is very wonderful activity. It also has very beautiful view. I really recommend you to have hot spring in Xin-beitou.
To sum up, I had very great trips in this winter. Therefore, it is hard to face that winter vacation is over. However, I still look forward to seeing my classmates and teachers.
