The movie EXAM

    I saw a movie called EXAM today. It was formed by a particular material--examination. This film was about Eight talented candidates who have reached the final stage of selection to join the ranks of a mysterious and powerful corporation. The most impressive scene for me was that the "BROWN" threatened the "DARK" in many horrible ways (almost using the paper to scratch her eye). After a long, the candidates began to uncover each other's backgrounds, prejudices, and hidden agendas. Tensions rose as the clock steadily descended toward zero, and candidates must decide how far they were willing to go to secure the ultimate job. I did NOT finish this film because we were running out of time! I want to see the subsequent plot development because I am curious about it.

    Also, I surfed the internet to find some related information about this film, and I found information that said that "Exam was a GEM of a film." This was really an excellent film! This low-budget psychological thriller was very clever and incredibly entertaining, and the production values were all far better than you would expect from such an unknown film.

I HOPE THAT WE CAN FINISH THIS FILM NEXT TIME!! PLEASE~

The Speech of Arctic Soil

    I attended the speech thrown by the science department today. The address was really excellent! The speaker taught us about the PERMAFROST at first and told us about how fast the melting speed was in the Arctic area. The cause of this problem was really related to our lifestyles. If we kept releasing much CO2 into the air, the Arctic Ice would melt as soon as possible. That would make the Arctic bears have no place to live and extinct very soon. This part of the speech was sad for everyone, and the speaker wanted to ensure we protect our environment carefully.

    In the second part of the speech, the speaker shared some exciting events when he took an educational journey with some of his students to the Arctic Circle. He told us that there were many mosquitoes, so they only got 3 minutes to clean up. He also shared many photos of this beautiful trip. Although the travel appealed to me, I still had to think that if I wanted to go there someday, I should conquer the weather and the temperature difference first ~ On The hottest day, there was only 10 Celsius degree!! SOOOO COLD!!!! It was so amazing because I love to adventure, too.                  

The movie "Hip-hop Craze"

    I saw a great movie with my friend today. It was about the people who had dreams of HIP-HOP DANCE. The main character in the film is a 34-year-old man. Although many people thought that he was too old to dance for him, he still never gave up his dream----to win the national HIP-HOP dance competition in France. Also, he used his money to support the campaign of hip-hop dance. I really respected him well because he spent most of his time teaching children who had domestic violence shadow before and also spent lots of money to let the spirit of Hip-hop leave forever.

    But, in this film, he also had many financial problems. Dancing was his interest, but he still had to receive some cases to live his life. I thought that dreams were IMPORTANT, but we people should face the music sometimes, not just always daydreaming!!

About Singapore's accents

I saw something interesting on Facebook posted by seniors. It was talking about the accents translation.

I REALLY love those kinds of unique accents, such as Indian or Singapore. Thanks to the linguistics courses, I have learned a lot of funny accents.

Also, I found that many accents vary in different areas in Taiwan. I am from Taichung, so the people who are not from Taichung would say that I have a STRONG Taichung accent. I thought that this was cool! I love my accent ~

This course may be boring to others, but I am enjoying the linguistic class!! Although I could improve at linguistics, I still want the style! The learning environment is good, the teacher--- Mrs. Chang, is friendly, and linguistics is fun.

The video clip is about the Singapore accent.
HA! HA! HA! It was fascinating.
