”Did you buy a lottery ticket?” It seems that this is a popular word to say hello during Lunar New Year. I think people anytime dream about owning a lot of money. The fastest way you could win a huge amount of money through lottery.
During Chinese New Year, many people are crazy to buy lottery tickets hoping to be the next billionaire. It gives us a sliver of hope that we could turn our life around. Of course, the huge prize seduced me into spending hundreds on lottery tickets. I really couldn’t resist the temptation to play lottery. The jackpot had reached a record-high in history, and it seemed that everyone wanted to be rich. Finally, the top prize is to be shared by five luck winners.
Although I didn’t win, I still had a big dream. If I won the top prize, I would use the money to do something I dreamed to do. I would divide the money into three parts. One big part I would give my parents to thank them for everything that they done for me. The second part I would donate money to charities, and the remainder would be keep for my own use. I would use part of the money to travel around the world first. I wish this dream might come true soon.

My Best Friend
Everyone wants to have a best friend, or have a group of close friends. Friendships change over time. And as we get older, it’s harder to make new friendships. Luckily, I have some good friends in my life.
Jessie, she is one of my best friends. She is my classmate now, and we have known each other for many years. I would say she is a very considerate and sweet girl. In school, she can help me a lot when I am puzzled about the difficult homework, and she always replies to my questions patiently. After school, even our lives become very busy, we still spend some time together to make the friendship grow and become stronger. We can both trust each other with everything and don’t keep secrets. Even we would tell gossip that we have heard. We are interested in shopping, going to the movie, and traveling.
Something that is worth to be mentioned, she is getting married this year. Jessie and her boyfriend have a strong mutual understanding and attraction, they are in love with each other. I deeply wish they had a happy marriage. She has a very kind personality and a sense of sweet humor. She always cheers me up and comforts me when I am upset. It is fun to be with her. I am lucky to know her and hope that our friendship will last forever.

Lunar New Year
Chinese New Year also called the Lunar New Year. It is the most important traditional holiday in Taiwan. A massive amount of great food is served up, and people are happy to take a few days off work.
First of all, I cleared my house and washed clothes on New Year’s Eve. This tradition is founded in the belief that cleaning the house at this time of year will sweep away the bad luck that has accumulated inside over the past year. In evening, all the members of my family went to a Chinese restaurant to have a big dinner. As usual, we head to temples to pray for good luck and we visited my relatives during the New Year. I am very excited about Chinese New Year. We usually go to country every year. For some reason, it was a little different this year. I stayed in home for 4 days. Most of time I watching TV/DVD, playing cards and sleeping.
Lunar New Year is one of my favorite festivals. The holiday is full of happiness and warmness. There are many exciting things happening during the New Year. Wish all the best in 2011 for everyone.

A World News – Snowstorm in Korea
Climate change is a serious and challenging problem we face today. Some effects of extreme weather are already happening. We often hear about EI Nino(聖嬰) and La Nina(反聖嬰), both are the causes of global climate anomalies.
This winter, because of La Nina phenomenon, the average temperatures in Taiwan was lower. And there is not much rainfall last summer. Australia’s Queensland faces massive flooding in the beginning of 2011. In South Korea, the biggest snowfall blanketed the area over one week. Also, the heavy snow has fallen in parts of Japan. Most of traffic system suffered delays as heavy snowfall caused problems. These are exactly what have been happening this year all over the world.
It is reported that the recent La Nina phenomenon is the greatest in the past years, and overall global temperatures have been increasing. That means melting at the poles, and more extreme weather conditions will happen. However, as more climate changes have emerged over the years, we have to take action against the problems, otherwise, our climate will change forever.

Book Review – Can You Keep a Secret?
Can You Keep a Secret is a book by Sophie Kinsella. Her books are true to every modern woman. One day, I have seen a movie “Confessions of A Shopaholic” from HBO channel. This is the author Sophie’s another production. It is an interesting film for woman. I like to see the movies of this type. That is why I would find this book to read.
This book explores the ups and downs of the modern girl life. Through the main character Emma points out, she has not huge secrets, just little secrets. But what would happen when she told her secrets to a stranger? And whether the stranger will turn out to be an important figure in her life? Those are what the book is describing about.
The entire story was funny and it was written in a very simply way. The author’s writing is brilliant and clearly that makes the book easy to read. For my thought, the book is worth reading. I could relax my mind by reading it. This story was fantastic from beginning to end. It really touched me for the characters. I will definitely check out this author’s other books in my free time.
