Summary of "Changing Roles: Stay-at-Home Dads"

The article of Changing Roles: Stay-at-Home Dads talks about the impression of 〝The woman is responsible for looking after children in the home but the man should go out to make money〞is changing with the time in recent years. The researchers found much evidence that the man plays a very important role in the children’s development.

Summary of "Piggybook"

The book of Piggybook which was wrote by Anthony Browne described that father and two children are usually waiting for mother to do everything for them every day such like to wash the dishes, to wash the clothes, do the ironing or to cook some more and so on. But they never want to help mother to share these housework because they don't know how hard mother is even take it for granted. As soon as mother cannot tolerate any more, she leaves a note and runs away from home. They have no choice but to do all things by themselves, but they have not done it very well just to be horrible. Finally, they just know mother’s importance in this family.

My Favorite Song

I like many Japanese singers, especially Ayumi Hamasaki. She had made many famous songs, such as " Jewel ", " Blue Bird ", " Beautiful Fighters ", and so on. But there's one song I have really liked, that's called " Momentum " which is collected in her album " Secret".

This melody of the song is very lyrical and sorrowful. It described that a woman was in love with a man, but no one was willing to bless her, even the man abandoned this love in the end. However, she didn’t give up, she waited for him constantly until she died.

Although it might be so sad, I could never get tired of listening to it. The reason is that it shows true love is should be with no regret. Most important of all, it let me to believe that "The love is everlasting".

Momentum

Lyrics: Tetsuya Yukumi

君を愛した日々は　僕の最後の奇跡

誰もが皆 人恋しくなる季節が
今年もまた あたたかさと冷たさを
連れてやって来た

幼すぎた僕らがまだ　何も知らず
笑い合って　しがみついて　歩いていた日を
思い出す

押し寄せるこんな痛みに
どんな言い訳をすればいい

白い雪にひとりで　凍えそうな夜でも
君を愛してるのは　僕の最後の勇気

いつかきっと　許されると信じながら
時間がただ　過ぎてくのを　待つのは
愚かすぎるのかな

* 溢れる想い抱きしめる
こぼれてしまわないように

白い雪にふたりの　手が届くその日まで
君を愛してるのは　僕の最後の勇気

* repeat

白い雪にひとりで　凍えそうな夜でも
白い雪にふたりの　手が届くその日まで

君を愛してるのは　僕の最後の永遠
君に出会えた事は　僕の最初の奇跡

About Me

My name is JIN- YING- HSIAO,I am nineteen years old. There are five members in my family－father, mother , elder sister, younger brother and me . My father’s occupation is electrical engineering and my mother is a housewife. As for my elder sister and my younger brother, they are still students. One is in university and the other is in senior high.

When I was a child , my father always said to me“ no matter what the result is , always do your best ！！”Hence, regardless of anything , I always put forth all my devotion , so I won’t have any regrets in chasing my goals、my interests and my passions .

Nowadays, in Taiwan’s society, we can easily find many foreigners and foreign materials. As information and transportation are changing, this situation is very normal. But how can we reduce our over adorable or over hateful attitude toward different cultures？How can we make this world a peaceful and prosperous place to live ？

I have a favorable impression about the Japanese language from buying my first Japanese album in my first year of senior high. I enjoy it very much. I’ve tried every way to learn the meaning of these songs. From then on, I’ve more become interested in Japanese. I made up my mind to learn more Japanese. Therefore, I choose Japanese as my first-step challenge.

This plan－learning Japanese first is my goal－ mixing this world together to be a harmonious place is not easy for me. But I will try my best to achieve these plans and goals in my life, like an old motto says -“Where there is a will, there is a way”
