Self evaluation
Although I got the job in the interview of Big Change Plastic Surgery Center, I think that I still have some mistakes in the process of interview. First, I was too nervous in the interview, although I tried to improve the disadvantage, I should try to relax myself. The second, I was not fluently to answer these questions in English at interview, sometimes, I spent much time on some question, I can’t answer the question immediately. The third, about my resume and cover letter, I didn’t provide enough information or experience to prove that I was suitable for the job, I should provide more powerful information about myself.
Actually, I got much experience in this interview, I found some disadvantages about myself, and I learn many skills of interview and communication, I believe that I will be better in the next time.

Extra! Extraspecial! The Basketball team of Taiwan Tech passed it’s qualification for the College Cup Level A basketball game. It had been established about five to six years, and every year the team takes part in the College Cup basketball game. Recently, many physical educated recommended student of basketball joined the team, it became up-and-up under the guide of an outstanding coach. Even though it couldn’t fight into the final game this year, this is the beginning of advancement.

Every week, they had two days of aerobic weight training, three days of team practice, and shot training in one morning. Comparing with the preparation before the game, they focused on physical adjusting and team tactics planning. Jimmy felt that players were well-performance in this time of the game, and the result of the game was acceptable. “The key point of our success is the perfect defense. Every player does their best to defend. “But the reason of our loss is turnovers. Because our team was lack of experience and players’ physical situations were not good enough, we lost many opportunities of getting points.” Especially, in these series games, our team fought into overtime games with some well-trained teams for two days at a stretch. In the future, they’ll improve themselves with teamwork and physiological function and learn from others’ advantages to train, as the reduction of faults.

School news Type:Op-ed

Topic: Choose courses
Outline
Choose opinion 1: learn less, easy to pass or get high grades
Choose opinion 2: learn more, difficult to get high grades
Choose opinion 3: just choose what you have interest

Choosing college courses is self-determined, but would be worrisome. After we take the courses our school requires and the classes that are required for our major, what should we take? Some of the classes are easy to pass or get high grades, but we will not learn a lot from them. While some classes are more difficult to get high grades, but they will be useful in our future career or they are more valuable because they offer useful knowledge.

I want to learn a lot during college but also get high grades. However, it’s difficult to have both two. The teachers who teach the informative classes are usually earnest and strict. They expect us to gain something from them. Thus, the assignments and pressure we have are more than others. Even we study hard and prepare more; we might not get high credits still. Therefore, somebody may choose easier classes to get high scores. The teachers do not care whether you study or not, especially in a big lecture hall class where the professor doesn’t know you. Even we don’t have to go to class sometimes. In addition, some students just choose what they have interest because they don't want to study the courses that they are not interested in.

Maybe a college student should thinks “What is the purpose of being a college student?” If you just want to get a bachelor’s degree, you can choose easier courses to pass. Provided you want to learn a lot with high grades, I think you need to manage your time well.

In high school, teachers will tell us to read pages 35-48 for class tomorrow and to start working on the paper. In college, the professors give us a syllabus. It tells us when readings need to be done and when assignments are due. We need to take the syllabus from all of our classes and figure out how to best divide up our time. I think it’s the best way to have both and it’s an important thing I have to learn.

B9508001 Kingsley - An Unfair Policy -Just Move Out the Dorm

Op-Ed Contributor

An Unfair Policy

By Kingsley
Published: June 6, 2008

Last Monday (May) , the DMC( Dorm Managing Center) has declared that students who live in the dormitory should move out before 6/23. On 6/14 to 6/23, you could move by yourself; and the examination dates are from 6/21 to 6/23. Every day from 9 AM. to 4 PM. is the time you can move out, except for twelve to 1 PM. The DMC also announced four things to pay attention to: to begin with, students should clean up their room before leaving and notify the DMC to register for room-checking. Furthermore, students should hand in the remoter to the air conditioner to DMC. Moreover, for those whom may live in the dormitory in summer vacation, they should move out before 8/31. Last but not least, if the date is expired, but they still live in the dorm, the DMC will clean out their properties.

To the best of my knowledge, I couldn’t agree with it less. I think school should do more things to help students move outside, not just give a date and do nothing. On the whole, the reasons why I have this opinion could be described as follows: at first, to find a new house is a big and hard work; students must waste their time and money on web-searching, cell-phone calling and the gas of riding a motorcycle from here to there. However, maybe they could find one at last or maybe none. In addition, the expiration date, 6/23, is also the last day of the final exam. Students won’t have sufficient time to find a new house or they won’t be well-prepared for the final exam. What’s more, in accordance with a survey, more and more college students think studying has been gradually replaced by doing the part-time job for the most important thing they should do. In order that they couldn’t afford the cost of renting a house and the tuition, they could only do more part-time job to make ends meet so that they don’t have enough time on studies.

Therefore, as far as I am concerned, I have some advices to suggest the school. In the first place, school should hold some speeches such as, how to find a new house or what things students should be careful while they are dealing with the owner of the house. Besides, they should give students much more time to move out. Schools should consider about the conveniences of students more. Finally, school should build another dormitory to let more students could live, not just give a date and say “move!” because they have new freshmen. I hope the school could consider about the students more and adopt some suggestion from the students.
