B型天蠍座

每次上課都會鬼打牆。明明已經晚了，卻沒見到半個人，結果其他人早就等在別桌了！（可是我進門真的看了好幾圈才找到空位，誰曉得劈老師跟Se早就到位了，難怪劈老師說老覺得我在神遊放空！）　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　When I feel depressed...

Part I

Our moods are like a roller coaster going up and down. One moment we feel as if we're on cloud nine, but the next we're totally in the dumps. When we are happy, we tend to share the happiness with people around us. However, when we feel depressed, everyone has his or her own way of dealing with it.

For me , singing at a KTV with friends is the best way to get rid of my depression. By singing out loud, I express my emotions and pretend I am someone else. This has always done he trick for me. Many times, the songs I sang were so sad that I couldn't help but cry. But after I wiped away the tears, I found that my negative feelings were gone as well. There are many ways to keep depression at bay, but the point is to have a way of dealing with it when it sets in.

-roller coaster 雲霄飛車（我很愛，卻現在才學會它的英文）

-as if 就好像

-cloud nine 九霄雲外（的確是外國人硬翻成的英文用法！！）

-totally in the dumps=very very bad mood. (dump 垃圾堆/場，比喻用法)

很奇怪的標題，其實我想的表達的是＂不是學不好(英文)，但是懶的複習就永遠學不好＂啦！！

其實這句話是寫給我自己的！劈老師上課補充了很多，但我已經累積了好幾篇還沒整理，會進步才有鬼！！！

My Childhood memories

Part I

Whenever I recall my childhood, I remember how lonely it was since I am an only child. It is still fresh in my memory how every day when I returned home from school, I was all alone. The house seemed to be so big and empty because there was no one home but me. Before my parents got home from work, I'd kill time by playing with my toys.

As a way to keep me company, my father bought me a puppy for my tenth birthday. From then on , my little dog, Poko, enriched my life. He'd run up and jump on me as soon as I got home. Poko also seemed to understand me whenever I was in a bad mood. Though he is much older now and isn't as energetic as before, Poko will forever and always being my special friend.

                                  ============================ 

Part II

When I recall my childhood memories, I remember the first summer I visited my grandparents. Since both of my parents worked, there was no one to care for my sister and me during the long summer vacation. So, we had to go stay with my grandparents at their farm in the country.

今天是交鐘點費的日子，跟Se約好提早十分鐘見面先把錢放信封，不然屆時在老師面前掏錢會很糗。

提早十分鐘出門也早了十五鐘到達，結果老師居然已經佔好位置了！原來劈老師早上去考多益（下午其他的兼職都請假），老早就在集合地點（火車站的小麥）出没。最後我和Se還是在老師面前把錢放進信封，XD。

Se還沒來前，跟老師小小聊了一下，問他為何跑到國外唸軍校。國中畢業的青少年劈，先是唸了中正預校，之後又考了XX（哈，我忘記名字了！），再之後便出國喝洋墨水去了，真是個認真的好青年！！我問他是否是被家人送去，才知道因為二個哥哥都是軍校出身，他也跟著去了。原來不是家長怕不想唸書的小孩學壞才送軍校的呀！我家另一個表哥就是因為不太會唸書才去唸軍校，雖然近二十年的軍人生活很平順安逸（快退休了），但似乎不太精采。

廢話不多說，上課了！（今天補充的比較多，以往的四段短文只上了三段，下次再繼續囉！）
