This week(4/16~4/20)

Busy!!!
This week is for us. It is Chinese Medcine week.
I have many duties to do in this week.First of all, I must make cosmetics which are made from Chinese medicine last friday.It took me lots of time(at least 6 hours) .All of these will be sold in this week.Second,we must cook foods made of Chinese med.It is also cost many time to cook the soup.After finishing the food, another tough job comes--sell it out.It's hard to controll the scene full of people waiting in line.It makes me nervous for fear that I might forget to receive the money coming from the guest and It puts a great pressure to us when the guest wait in front of us and with their face full of impatience. I worked under this circumstances for three days!!However, it is worthy.The food we sell were "robbed of" in less than 20 min.Many people thought it delicious!!Nothing is happy than this when u hear such compliment^^.

How to go to see a doctor in Taiwan

How to go to see a doctor in Taiwan
When we are sick, it’s very important to get proper medical treatment with view to relieving our illness. Since we don’t have enough medical knowledge, we’d better consult doctors instead of finding drugs by ourselves.
However, knowing how to go to see a doctor is truly something we should bear in mind. Two main aspects are contained when going to see a doctor; that is, finding good doctors and expressing our feeling thoroughly to the doctors. First time when we see a doctor in Taiwan, we’d better choose the local clinics in our neighborhood rather than big hospitals. Doctors in local clinics usually know much better of our disease. Besides, it is a waste of medical resources if we go to see a doctor in big hospital for merely small disease. If the doctors in local clinics aren’t able to cure our diseases, we should follow doctors’ advices to transfer to larger medical institutes.
No matter which doctor you consult, we must describe our sickness clearly. Any small details shall not be omitted because this might affect the precision of diagnosis. Some doctors in Taiwan might forget to ask some important details; as a result, we can remind them initiatively. After diagnosis, another thing we should tell the doctors is drugs fitness. Most of the drugs are poisonous; however, different people have different duration to the drugs. Some might trigger allergies and some can contribute to the tendency of sleep. All of these will cause many strong impacts on our bodies. In addition, as stepping out the clinics we should follow the instructions of taking drugs for this we really accelerate the effect of drugs. If the prescription is not effective for the disease, the small sheet of paper will be an important reference to another doctor to avoid making the same mistakes.
In conclusion, if we all know the right ways of seeing a doctor, wining the battle between disease and us will be quite easy. We shall not fear diseases!

A letter of a friend in Korea and my response(write in 2/25)

Hi- guys~! ^-^are you all doing well these days?it was so glad to recieve e-mails from some of you.. though i'm not good at english writtings, grammar things, and even in typing..T.Ti'm really hard trying to send you mine also.!we are still on vacation in Korea(Chris may not.. cause he is a year older than me~), so i'm hanging around with friends, read books, do swimming, and learning chinese.. some of my seniors asks why i learn languages other than english and says it may not be that fruitful.. but i'm ... still doing it! :^)kk Actually i've been learning it for only 2 months, and i'm now in just.. pronunciation course.. May be i can show you my.... short short chinese(it's toooo difficult! T.T) when some of you come to Korea this summer. ^^ And- i'm also participating in "night school", teaching some students who had no chance to go to school or graduate it due to some problems.(like economic things.. and so on) However right now, i'm a little bit concerned of continuing it even during my semester, cuz it needs so much time and effort. ^- ^ ;our new semester starts from March(it's next week..T.T), and from then, i think my life would be tough and tough and tough.... studying, teaching, preparing next eamsc, etc..but you guys are already busy doing all kinds of stuffs, right? way to go~!!^^it feels like so long time has passed since our eamsc in Taiwan, though it was just 3-4 weeks ago..and i really miss it. and i miss you guys, too~!!keep in touch~!^^ i'd like to hear form you all! Hello!!여보세요(is this right?)
I am Dora
How are u doing? everything is alright?
I will begin my new semester on2/26>"<.Much earlier than u.
after EAMSC,I did lots of things.I wrote down the whole things happened during this conference.It took me so long to type(maybe few thousand words each day!It was a wonderful memory that I don't want to forget any detail)Besides,I practice piano almost every day because there will be an important performance for me in march(works of Chopin,Bach...).Do u like classical music?If u like, I will send some my favorite mp3 to u.(my msn: sph0616@yahoo.com.tw) In addition, the most important festival:Chinese new year! There are nine days for holiday!so my family and I really enjoy it! I went to a theme park and enjoy a good time there.I played fireworks(cost 2000 nt dollars);however,it took less than half hour,all the fireworks was gone.It is truely like putting 2000$ on fire!!But it is really beautiful and meaningful when playing with my family.^^

Now new semester begins,it means another big challenge to me.Over 30 classes a week,still more than any other medical students in Taiwan.I will start to learn "the diagnosis of Chinese medicine".You might ask"Diagnosis,Wow,so early for freshman!"But that's turth,we must to face it.Outside class,I still have many duties .I have many jobs on the summer camp.(Preparing some camp is really a difficult works.Lots of things must be settled)In addition,I will be class monitor this semester, which means another great responsibility I must take.Besides,I join a chorus.I have to find some time to practice.As a result,this semester,I will be very busy!>"<

You just said u continue to learn Chinese. I am sure u will do it!!Although Chinese is very difficult to be learned,perseverance and hard works will surpport u!!By the way,I will do my best to get the qualification to go to Seoul this summer.I will also try to learn some Korean ^_^Maybe we can talk to each other in Chinese or Korean!I expect to see u again.If I can go,I will tell u this good news(maybe in May)

만나서 반가와요^^(nice to meet u?)Keep contact and always be friends!!
