Teenager survives getting hit by lightning, then wins money in the lottery

There was a magical thing happened to a girl. She was struck by lightning and went on to win US$20 in the lottery the next day. The scientists couldn’t answer the question that she was struck by lightning why she didn’t die at that time.


After reading this article, I feel that life is mysterious and profound. I am jealous with her. How lucky she was. Because luck doesn’t happen to everyone in the world, I think she would even cherish her life after undergoing such thing on him.


I am not always living in good lucky life, but I am also not living in unlucky life. In my life, sometimes, I am living in a happy condition by good luck, but sometime, I am living in bad condition by misfortune. To tell the true, I enjoy this life, because I feel some bad condition that can make me grow up. Therefore, I like to live in a general life.


If someone has much good luck around him all the time, maybe he can’t face some events which are bad. (182words)

Singaporeans jailed over kangaroo picture


On 26th May 2008, three Singaporeans who wore clothes with a picture of a kangaroo dress as a judge entered the Supreme Court. But the judge thought they ignored to despise the Supreme Court. Therefore, the three men were sentenced to between seven and fifteen days in jail by the judge. And the judge also ordered to each play court costs of NTP$ 109300.

The kangaroo court is expressed against the judicial system and no unfairness in Singapore.

Singapore is a developed nation. Their residenters have a high English grade and have a high living standard. So I think Singapore is also a democratic and free country.

However after reading this article, I feel Singapore is not a very freedom of the democracy country.

Maybe, I was born in a democratic country. Thus, I was very surprised that three men were sentenced who touched the national law. If the three men did the same thing in my city, I was sure that they were free. (170words)

My Reactions:


This article is talking about the history of the text message and a girl who crowned the fastest text messenger in Sweden. She used 61 seconds to write a 141-character SMS message full of difficult-to-spell words and correct punctuation. Thus, she won 2,650 euro (NT$122,500) prize.



After reading this article, I am interested by the reward. So I want to practise how to type the text messages quickly. Maybe there is a company to take place the same activity like that someday in Taiwan.


On the other hand, do you know why the text message was invented and was set in the cell phone? Originally, the inventers created the text messages that the purpose was for helping the deaf, because they couldn’t listen to any voice.

However nowadays, the text messages are very popular by teenagers and young people for the charge is cheaper than using cell phone to call your friends and Text messages are a convenient way to send telephone numbers. (168 words)

London buses may advertise there’s probably no God

My Reactions:
It is a piece of interesting article. There is an advertisement which is affixed on the London buses. The advertisement says “People who rejected god would go to hell”

After comedy writer Ariane Sheine knew this event, he objected to the Christian adverts on some London buses. Therefore he decided to spend money on the advertisements, too. The advertisement says “There probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”


I feel myself is very strange. Sometimes, I am happy but sometimes I am unhappy and upset. My moods are changed very often by the environment around and the things at my side. After reading this article, I feel maybe it is mode by the god to have different moods. Actually the god is very mysterious for me. Although I don’t know what time have existed the word of “god” in the world, I wish god in the world was a truth. If the god were, I could tell the god about my wish or anything what I want to talk.
