Upper Intermediate DW Term 1 2023

 I have made a big decision In my life last year in Thailand. Last year after covid around mid year I was thinking that do I want to do next instead of take care family business and drinking hangout socialize every night with friends. And lastly I come out with study master degree aboard and now I end up with New Zealand.  Why is New Zealand? I had studied short course at New Zealand before in 2012 and also my dad studied University in Christchurch and graduate here long time ago. Then I was think which University that I should study and at last I choose University at Otago Dunedin. And the most luckiest thing is my brother (cousin) he also study at University of Otago to so I'm not so lonely when I arrived.  The big change is I never stay oversea or in different country long like this time. When I arrived I have opportunities to study more english as  you know my english is not good especially grammar. And another big change is i have to do everything by my self suc...

The decision today I am gonna talk to is also the reason why am I here.  Turning back to last year late August, I applied for suspension from my secondary school as I am gonna prepare a test of art for a university school in China Mainland. I thought it would go well. However, my school did not allow it and if I have to explain it, it would be long. So simply said, all is because there are two different education systems between Hong Kong and China Mainland. Thus, something work in China Mainland may not work in Hong Kong. When I received the reply from my secondary school, I was grieved. I almost gonna cry but I didn't. Until I told the result to my uncle, I cannot control myself. I tryna pretend I was calm but I can't. Hence, I cried and told the whole thing to my uncle through the phone. And my uncle told me that we cannot change it as this is the rule. Therefore, he provided me with two choices. One is studying in China but not art, and two is studying overseas. Until now, ...

 The decision I’ve made last year is to go out with my boyfriend. When I started to go out with my boyfriend, I had already decided to go to New Zealand to study abroad. I had already told him about studying abroad when I first met him, so I didn’t expect him to say he wanted to go out with me. However, he asked me to hang out so often, and he never gave up on me. I underestimated him, I realized that he is a nicer guy than I expected. Before I left Japan, we often met and talked a lot. It was a great memory for me. I expected that we would break up when I leave Japan, but he said he wants to continue the relationship. So now we’re still going out.  Thanks for this experience, I realized how difficult it is to continue a long-distance relationship. And I think that talking face to face is the most important thing for not only couples but also friends to get a good relationship. I missed my boyfriend, I missed talking to him, and I missed my closest friends in Japan, but instea...

A turning point of my life Looked back to my high school life, I chose Japanese - English as my major subject.  When the university entrance exam season came to my life, I had to choose the major and faculty that I wanted to study. I was able to choose four ranks. Finally, I made decision to put all ranks with a major of Japanese in different universities. At that time, I needed to put a code ( it was a number) of a major and university on a paper. In the past a process to apply to university was in paper based. The day of result announcement came, I got the result via a message on mobile phone.  I was very excited and very happy to know that I got a major and university that was in a first rank from four ranks. However, something seemed wrong. I checked the code of subject and university again and I found that I made a mistake. I put a wrong code and It was a code of a major of Thai language! It was a big problem for me, a high school student, a girl who must have studied i...

     Have you ever longed to live in California?  Are you interested in American teenage life?  Do you want to live a rich life?  If any of the above applies, you should watch 'Beverly Hills, 90210'.      'Beverly Hills, 90210' is one of the most famous TV series in the US and set in Beverly Hills in the 1990s.  It focuses on the lives of the high school students whose parents are rich.  But it's not just about the fun lives of the riches.  It also shows us the shadow sides.      This TV series ran for 10 years and has 10 seasons, so it took me about a year to watch all the episodes haha  Someone might think that it has too much episodes.  But all episodes are really interesting and the characters are all different personalities.  So in my case, I was able to enjoy watching them all without getting bored. Anyway, you should watch its intro.  The soundtrack also grabs me! https://youtu.be/JDOrO...
