The important is to contiue practicing, it is not the important to excel at one activity. The imoratn is to continue doing what we like to do, we share the passion for learning English, and this is an activity included in our daily routine. Once we learn the foreig language we will continue learning beacuse as in any language, it is not an fixed or inmobile subject, it is like a growing, alive living being,, alwasy changing and evolving.
We don't win prizes for speaking our native languages. We learn for the sake of learning, for the happiness of learnig new words, or improving our vocabulary and for keeping our mind in shape. Readig is for the mind as physical exercise is for the body.
What we are doing now, it will affect in our next years of our life. The best we keep our mind and body the more we will enjoy life.

Hi, all,
I did a fantastic job on my speech though i didn't win the contest. But some of my audience appreciated my speech and came to talk to me.
I couldn't fall asleep at that night before the tomorrow's speech cos' I didn't want to use my old script to deliver my speech. I got so confused with my script cos' i delivered it for too many times, about 10 times, and I revised it for several times. So I don't know what to say and how to give this talk in the best way. I really wanted to give up this contest cos' it was my first time that i needed to deliver a speech without memorizing the script.
Whatever, I was gonna give it a try. However, i faced another difficulty on that day cos' i was the final contestant. It means I needed to wait for 9X7 minutes for my turn, it was a suffering, which i finally found out. It also means that you will miss some of great speeches on that day.....><
I told myself, calm down and try to write your points on the paper, and I made it. And one of our contestant told me, Frankie, you are so hardworking! Hahahaha....Writing is a very good way to help me figure out the difficulty, you know.
Keep Smiling, try to forget all that stupid script, simply deliver your speech with you true heart, like delivering an impromptu speech. That one minute of silence before my speech, I found a lot of great things, one of them is my friends' supports. I like it, it is like the time has stopped and you are the Hero in that short moment!!!!!!!!!
"Frankie, you are shinning on the stage!" "Frankie, are you native Taiwanese?" "Frankie, you can be a great saleman!" "Frankie, I like your speech!" Although I didn't win the contest but some of my audience appreicated my speech, it is something that really counts.
My president told me, Frankie, you had worked hard on your performance before, but this time you improved a lot, you delivered your speech with your confidence, with you heart....I was touched by her words, cos' she is always the best evaluator in my heart.

Topics
There is not an interestic topic to talk about, that is the main problem when one is writing. But it is not entirely true. There are a lot of topics to talk about. Of course, my favorite topic is about English learning, but there are other interesting subjects like family, health, science, religion, well being, lifestyle, global warming, etc.
Exercise is good for your health. One should exercise everyday, it helps to relax, it help to think, it improves health keeping the weight, avoiding obesity. My favorite exercise is walking. When possible I walk half an hour every day in a park near my home.

English Practice
Learning English is a permanent job, it is a continual practice. It is like a major. It requires time, and commitment.
I have reached a good level, but ones need to continue learning grammar, and improving vocabulary, and in your free time to play word games.
I have a goal of everyday, if possible to read a book, everyday if possible. When I feel very tired I watch programs on television. It is important to write everyday, not matter what. It could be mail, or a diary for yourself. The important thing is the practice. Finally, to have conversation with someone who have a good command of English.

Elections in US.
I have not read the novel that I am reading, instead I have been watching the news, especially the candidate race for the presidency in the United States.
There are two main democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The main candidate in the republican side is Mac Cain.
In my personal opinion I think that Clinton will win the election; if so, she will be the first presidential woman in the US.
Some say that Americans are no prepared to be governed by an black President.
The presidental election is on Nov. 2008 and the elected president will began his term on Feb. 2009.

Plans For 2008
Dear All: Frankie asked me about the plans of 2008. There are several plans I will perform this year. First of all, the thesis is by all mean the most important task that I need to complete. Hope everything will be smooth as I think. Secondly, passing the National Exam of Public Servant is my desire. I hope I would pass it within 5 years from now. Thirdly, the GEPT high level test is also a suitable challenge for me, so I will prepare it and attend it this year. In the end, I think I will do these three tasks and then go to do my military duty this year.

Novels
One of my resolutions for this new year is to continue reading novels, and magazines. Mainly novels but I read everything that I can. Now I am reading a novel that is difficult to read to me because it is a big book,.anyway I will finish reading it. The important thing is to keep the habit, althought frequently I don't have time to read as I would like. I will continue posting in this blog about the books that I will read during this year. Actually I have bought a lot of used books, they are cheaper and I have bought some classics and others from un known authors. The advantage of keeping reading is to continue learning vocabulary and always is a good topic to talk about.
I hope that Frankie fulfill his resolutions for this year.
