I'd like to practice my English or other foreign language writing in this website. As a Chinese female who is eager to learn any other languages, this is a great start for me to step on a new world!

母親,奔波的,素食便當

高中離家,到臺南讀女子高中。
第一天上課,訂購了學校的素食便當,吃了兩口,卻噁心得吐了出來。

原來是學校沒採用真正素食餐廳的便當,給我們的午餐,是一般便當店扣除了肉類後的青菜白飯。

同一個鍋子炒了蒜頭,胎裡素的我,一口就吃出來了。那高麗菜的滋味,又腥又臭。

打了電話給了遠在雲林的母親,大半個便當完全倒掉了。

沒想到,四點多放學回到租屋處,書桌上竟然有一封信跟一個純素食的便當。

信是媽媽的親筆,她說,一知道我無法吃到純素的便當,她就請假趕到臺南,跟學校抗議反應,隔天開始,我們就可以到學校後面的臺南女中吃真正的素食...

看著那封信,吃著滋味單純的素食便當,我眼淚流了出來...

之後總是無法忘記媽媽這趟奔波給我帶來的感動,不管母女關係疏離到何種程度,我對她仍然是充滿感恩。

慾。飲食。回憶錄

說真的,我從小就活在飲食被控制限縮的環境。
直到今天,都依舊如此。
父母篤信佛,我也是胎裡素。
限縮飲食,除了魚類肉類,蔥蒜,甚至韭菜洋蔥都不能食用。
其他倒是還好,但是我經常感覺有缺失感,因為零食中很多添加了洋蔥粉的食物,我也不能吃。
國中時,就有調皮的同學,會故意在我面前拿著牛肉泡麵吃,故意露出香味看我是否能克制。
其實,他們不清楚的是,我根本沒試過這些味道,哪來渴望呢?

但是我想融入大家。

拒絕孤單的味道。

於是,國三時海邊烤肉,我常常是那個負責刷醬料,但是卻完全不吃一口肉類,只以白吐司為食的人。

國中畢業旅行時,當時素食服務沒那麼好,看著全班桌上一道又一道菜色,我那兩天的五餐,幾乎都是稀飯(或白飯)配土豆醬瓜。

...待續

Overseas Conversion

This morning, I enjoyed my EF class very much.
Although I'm a little bit late  to the class, but I found a classmate name MH, his English is very good. He's from Egypt, where I've never been there before.
We share the city we live, and what's the attractive factor of a city.
We all agree with one thing. There's a reason why we're here. And there's a reason why we met.
When we met each other, the great moments we shared, can make the whole world a better place.

Just like the Bible says, all the creatures are waiting for the new world.

愛

『 人若說、我愛 神、卻恨他的弟兄、就是說謊話的.不愛他所看見的弟兄、就不能愛沒有看見的 神。〔有古卷作怎能愛沒有看見的 神呢〕 約翰一書 4:20』

假想一個情境,你是個兢兢業業,任勞任怨的餐廳員工。

有一個顧客,吃完餐廳的飯菜,拍拍屁股,轉身就走。

詫異之餘,你正想衝過去要求他付錢,請他道歉。沒想到,鄰桌一個顧客突然甩了一塊真金白銀(或是上萬元)在你的櫃檯上,遠超過剛剛那位顧客該付的飯錢,然後說一句,我代他付了。

你看著這筆飯錢,就發現,自己再也無法追著剛剛那位顧客,討要任何代價。

耶穌,神子,他付出的代價遠超過剛剛的情境千倍萬倍。

人生路上,難免遇到讓我受傷的對象。出版社工作時,一個焦躁的詩人主管,抓住我的錯處,對懷孕的我曾譏誚諷刺。學校工作時,遇到行政鄉愿的主管,對我百般刁難。

但是,我在神面前的禱告可以證實,這些名字,都曾被我在神面前一一祝福禱告過,禱告到心中恨意舒緩,禱告到自己受害的負面情緒消弭,禱告到能輕鬆與他們互動。

耶穌已經為他們付出代價。

基督徒為何不能愛人?
因為我們忘記了耶穌付出了什麼。

那一滴滴無價的血,遮蓋了這些靈魂。

春雨料峭風稀微

這個午後特別涼爽,一日氣溫三變。清晨,涼意襲人我穿了毛衣出門,正午,趕去接女兒時,日頭曬得我皮膚發燙,傍晚,略陰的天光下,稀微的風吹入我所在的辦公室內,讓更換了短袖的我感到一點涼意。
想起走廊邊有一隻巨大的蜘蛛,橫跨了兩層樓,等等要帶女兒去欣賞牠的風姿。昨日,花蓮發生6.1的大地震,台北有感程度達到5級。萬物在地震後的今天,在看似安穩的平靜中依然該活的,好好活著,而人類們,該吃喝的好好吃喝。究竟這春雨後的受難日,會給人帶來哪種啟示呢?人心各異,唯神明瞭。
盼天,盼地,盼祂在臨。

Simple practice in EF english

Shanna- I think in the future the computer can make a device that can teach us a different language. So today we can learn English and tomorrow we can learn Japanese. I think if we have the chance to have these robots, they will be able to help us more proficiently with pronunciation etc.

Fabrizio- I think we are in need of human contact and this can be more suitable for students. I would like to see more people that are engaged in learning more and having different experience. I think you look like an idiot just talking to a robot. You can never have a robot that you have different experiences with.
Write a paragraph describing how robots are being used in your country. How do you feel about them? In what ways will they positively and negatively affect society?

Type in the input box. Write 150-200 words.


In my country, the factary is using robot. And the household environments are also easy to see the broom robot.
I also buy one, too. But the broom robot isn't so nice as I expected. Sometimes I still need to clean again after the broom robot doing its job.
Except the broom robot, I'm looking forward to see a new type of robot that can help us learning other languages in the future. What if we can have a robot that can communicate with Mandarin, Japanese, English and other languages? It'll be so nice that we can learn whatever language we like.
By the way, the robots used in the factary don't influence our daily life, but how about the robots in our transportation system? There are always many driving accidents in modern society, if the robots can help drive the cars, I think the transportation system will be safer.
