Journal 2: Effort

If you want to get something, you might have to pay times, energy and something else, you make effort to get to the goal. But first, the important one is, you have to know what you want, what is your clear goal. In my life, somehow I always listen or fallow others thought, I never really sit down and think about what I like and what I want. For now, I might want to improve my English, which is the most important thing for my future and school. If it’s possible, I would like to continue my piano classes and learn some Chopin’s songs, I have learn piano for about 8 years, but I have never learned an Chopin’s song, my piano teacher really likes Chopin, she said that Chopin is the poet of music. Then... I think I should practice on those “ sport stuff” , which is not I like, but what I need, because I know sport is also a big thing in those subjects, and sport keep a health body. The last thing, I want to finish at least three books about economic. My mom always say I might good at economic, but I am not really sure about that, I want to find out what I like and what I’m good at, make a real clear goal. 

Journal 1: Poetry

  Poems are a different way of writing, compare to the others, poems like lyrici, most of the 

people use rhyme in poems, to make the poems sound more swing when the people read. 

Poems is not that much like what we write in life, however, you can play the words on your 

poems, poems are free and they’re the best way to express your feelings, thought, 

enmotion or anything you want--whatever it is, plain or difficult. So of course poems can do 

the things that others forms do!  

  Everyone, at least most of them, they usually write poems for themselves. They like to 

play the words with their ways, I think the things that poems can do but others can’t are 

enjoyable and  simple. Sometimes you only have to think about the rhyme, otherwise you 

can just write the words you want to say without the long explain. 

  Poems got the modulation, the rhythm and the tension, but they didn’t have any music.

Lyrici always be with the music, that’s the thing that poems can’t be done. 

Honestly, I‘m not sure with the define of poetic language, I think that’s the way when 

people speak poems. In Taiwan we seems don’t have the same things with the poems 

speaking, so for me that is fresh, I have only seen the “ poetic language” on the videos, 

and the videos are actually from the class.
