English--文字拼圖遊戲

Write about your own immigrant experience or the experience of immigrants in your own country using any 12 of the words below.

holy ground, unifying epic, legends, prosperity, myth of the Golden Door, paradoxically, dedicated, patriotic nostalgia, oppressed, uprooted, weight of new scholarship, peak, the means, stamina, émigrés, reverse, stem, revitalizing, quarantine, reunited, image

老師要我們利用上面的其中12個單字寫一篇有關移民經驗的文章,以下則是我的解答:

Actually, I don't have any immigration plan. I don't want to become an émigré because it will make me feel uprooted. Also, I didn't hear about the myth of the Golden Door before. Most of the image of the USA I got is from TV programs or movies. However, I don't like histories or legends that kind of programs. I'm not interested in unifying epics of America either.

Perhaps you will guess that I'm going to say "I don't like America". Paradoxically, I like America very much. Living in the USA is very interesting. I never regret that I should prepare the means to pay for expensive living fees here. Multiple cultures and languages of America really impress me. I think immigrants are not only revitalizing America, but also give it a very spectacular life. That's why I try to keep my stamina and heath in a good status so that I can enjoy my foreign life more. However, the patriotic nostalgia makes me feel homesick sometimes. After the English study, I'll go back Taiwan and reunite with my family soon.

[美東記事] On-line Shopping(續)

原來要寫有關Shopping的文章才能獲得回饗... 這真是出乎意料之外,我還以為大家會對Study比較感興趣說... 哈哈。

由於上回談的是最近遭遇到不好的On-line Shopping經驗,好友Janis一看到那篇文章就馬上虧我說"看你下回還敢不敢去網路上買?"... 這... 未免也太小看我的膽量了,我當然敢囉,在還沒換掉那本"網路="Great""的字典前,我還是要繼續擁抱網路世界。

不過,人總是得記取失敗的教訓才是。自從網路經濟泡沫化之後,大家都知道光是把夢想建築在虛擬的世界中是沒有用的,網路的便利性、延展性以及無限的可能性還是必須和實體世界相連結才能發揮它的效用;而我從我惱人的網路購物經驗裏學到的就是,不要一味地只求網路資訊系統的省時方便,完整而且公平的技術及服務體系應該是下回購物要考量的重點,另外也必須留意其是否具備有實體且完善的通路管道,以免再像這回一樣反而費時費力又惹來一身氣... 。

好啦,不說閒話了,寫這篇續集主要是因為上回忘了把兩個不錯的網路連結貼上來:

PriceSCAN.com

mySimon.com


這兩個連結是好友ShuMei好早之前留給我的,但卻在我開始我的異國網路購物之旅後才真正發現它的功效,它的功效就是做"線上比價",幫助使用者在購物前先大致了解一下價格概況,挺有用的喔... 不曉得台灣有沒有類似的網站啊?如果有人知道要記得告訴我喔,先謝啦!
