先輩の結婚式 今日先輩の結婚式を参加しました。実は 結婚式があまり好きではありませんです。騒ぎますし，付き合いが浅い人と喋りますし，食べられない物をたくさん捨てますし，嫌いことばかりです。それに，礼金を送らなければなりませんですから，学生にとって プレッシャーがあります。でも先輩が自分で誘いましたから，断ることは難しくなりました。いつれにしても，先輩は幸せになあると 心から 祝います。

Working out in the gym Every week I go to school gym twice with my colleagues in the laboratory. We started to work out about 1 year ago, and I have felt many physical and mental changes since then. First, of course, my body become stronger. This is the exact effect that I was driven by in the beginning - to be in good shape. But as I kept working out, I also found out I became more energetic. I used to be tired even after sleeping for a long time, but the condition was ameliorated by consistent exercise. I will keep on working out and hope I can input the excess energy produced in this way into studying of language and helping people.

つまらない会議 毎週木曜日は会議があります。実験室の皆さんは　2グループに分けて、実験の結果を教授に報告します。それぞれの研究内容は違うから、他のグループが報告している時 自分には関係ないと思って聞きたくないです。でも参加しなければなりませんですから、携帯電話を使いながら報告を聞きます。悪い慣習で、時々治ることをきめます。しかし、とってもつまらないですから、我慢できなくて、すぐこの決意を捨てます。いつから真面目に報告を聞くのはわかりませんが、頑張っていきます。

Delicious breakfast My friend invited me to have breakfast this morning. The shop he planned to go was not open, so we wandered by bicycles to find another shop. After a long ride, we stopped at a shop which, according to my friend, was ranked at the third place of the nearby breakfast shops. The shop was small but clean, and there were also foreign customers. The food was based on traditional Chinese food, such as clay oven roll and steamed buns, but some western elements like cheese or bacon were added, forming a variety of choices. I ordered a clay oven roll with vegetables and a turnip cake at first, but then I added a thick cut toast with tuna salad and cheese after I saw my friend having one. All the food was delicious and costed only NTD 120 (~ USD 3.5). I was pretty full and satisfied and didn't need to have lunch. I think I will visit the shop again soon.

頭がいい友達 施さんは実験室でできた友達です。頭がよくて運動が上手で熱心な人です。いつも手伝ってくれて本当に感謝しています。悲しい時は私のそばで悩みを聞かせてくれます。時々長い時間をかけたが、文句を言いません。最近施さんは日本語の勉強を始まりました。ただ一日で平仮名をもう全部覚えました。凄いだと思います。もっと頑張らないと、すぐ日本語の能力を負けるでしょう（笑）。
