508's Secret English Garden

32  鄭如岑

        I got a habit of imitating other’s silly or interesting movements.

        Once, Jessica, my junior high school classmate wanted to borrow a jacket from a boy, and pretended that she was weak.  Her action was so pretentious that I can’t help imitating her.  However, I forgot an important thing that they were standing by me.  That is to say, they have seen what I have done.  It was the most embarrassing movement.

        It’s true that imitating others might be stupid sometimes.  However, I still feel so fun.  To avoid bumping into awkward situation, I’m more cautious.  Not until the one I want to imitate goes away do I begin imitating.  This habit brings lots of joy not only to my life but also to others’.

                          Procrastination                             50833 鄭婷勻

  My bad habit is procrastination. Putting things off, so all tasks run after me and bury me finally.

  An old saying goes,” never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” However, there are some tips to keep me from putting things off. First of all, the hardest part about enforcing the task is the beginning. Don’t be afraid of getting start. Just do it, besides, break a large task into small pieces. A complex project usually scares people away, and is hard to deal with. Last but no least, change the environment. If there is too many distractions like noises, comfortable sofa or delicate food, change the space.

  Following the tips above, I won’t be stuck in the procrastinator’s prison. 

 I have an odd interest in ghost movies though I don’t look like a person who is crazy about horror. I love it so much in the reason of the pleasant sensation. When I see those sanguinary ghosts appear, I feel joyful.

  One night, I was watching a disgusting ghost movie with my friend. We had a lot of fun, but suddenly the DVD player cracked and the screen disappeared in a flash.

  We were confused. After a check, nothing was wrong. My friend was scare to death and ran out of the room immediately.

  Finally the answer came out: I kicked out the plug under the sofa.

  I think I will never stop enjoying ghost movies. It is not only happy for me also I learned how to deal with things in calm.

My bad habit

  When I study in the evening, I like to lie on my desk with my head on my arms if I feel tired. Sometimes I can sleep up to two hours. The bad habit once even posed a danger to my waist.

  Because my posture has been bad for a long time, my pelvis crooked last year. Even walking could be a hard thing for me！I suffered a lot of pain for the habit.

  I can never imagine a bad habit can almost kill me. In order to hurt my waist no longer, now I need to study and walk at the same time when I am weary. Or I can take a shower to keep awake. A simple change can really influence one’s life a lot and helps me break the bad habit.

My Special Habit

50820陳可馨

My special habit is collecting chocolate packing boxes. I got a chocolate packing box from my junior high school classmate a few years ago. The pretty box attracted me to start my collected life.

The reason why I collected chocolate packing boxes is they are beautiful and unique. Sometimes a company-like Meiji, might produce a series of models or limited products in season. The designs differ from companies. For instance, the milk chocolate packing boxes from Meiji was darker and simpler than Defu’s-actually, Meiji’s milk chocolate only used brown and white on the package-both are they make me crazy because these boxes are all my “treasures”.

Because of the habit, I spent all of my pocket money buying chocolates. I even only spent ten dollars on a meal for a month, in order to buy what I want but I didn’t really need. Now I have at least fifty boxes!

Though I still collect these pretty, I no longer do the wrong decision on spending my money. I will think twice before buying anything. The habit is only a hobby but not most important thing in my life.

                                                 My Bad Habit.

I am a person of hesitation.  This indeed makes me suffer a lot.  I can’t make decisions especially when going shopping.  Since I usually hesitated for a long time about which item to buy, my friends felt impatient while waiting for me.  

  The habit also caused my procrastination.  Being unable to make up my mind timely makes me do things one step behind.  Till now, I still have one English assignment and two history projects unfinished.  I feel like always living in the past.  With new homework assigned every day, my pressure builds with time.

  I should make a schedule every day and make more efforts to carry it out.  As a saying goes , “Don’t put off what you can do till tomorrow.”  From now on, I will take it as my motto and always keep it in my mind.   

My Special habit 50815 林佳頤

I like to collect useless things such as a cover of the ball-point pen, advertisement paper, the empty of cans of potato chips, empty boxes, paper bags, etc.

I like to do this because I want to make the best use of everything and believe that the useless things one day will become useful. And the truth proved that I was right.

The empty cans can become the pen holder and some waterless pens can be fixed after soaked in the hot water.

  By this ways can avoid wasting resources, save money and reduce the amount of garbage. I can make our environment better. And I feel very happy when I doing these ways.

My Special Habit         508 34 鄭資千

My special habit is that I hate pencils very much.

I don’t like to use the pencils and I also hate to correct other’s test paper which was written by pencils, I think it looks dirty because the pencils easily to stain your paper and hands. For example, I stained my homework because of pencils, my teacher didn’t satisfy with my homework and my grades were very low.

When I was a child, I used the pencils to write just like other children. One day, my mom saw me eating the pencils and she shouted at me loudly. ”Don’t eat that.” She blamed me. From then on, I was afraid of pencils.

I tend to use the ball pens instead of pencils. Using ball pens helps me to write carefully and think twice before I write because it is hard to erase the wrong words. It will not to stain your paper and hands. I think that using ball pens to took the pencils’ place is great, so I won’t quit this special habit.

My bad habit         50803劉偉皓

I am confident in myself, but too much confident become arrogance, which will make me mess up many things.

For example, at a performance, everyone practiced hard. Except me “ I would do it well.” I thought to myself.

The performance arrived. When I stood on the stage, I forgot what I should do because I practiced too less before the performance. Due to my mistake our show didn’t get a good grade.

Don’t let your confidence become conceit. If you are over confident, that will harm you in your life.

                   My sister's bad habit                 508 07 王榆文

  When my younger sister was young, she had a bad habit of biting her fingernails.  Her fingernails were so ugly that they looked like the saw tooth.

  My parents wanted to correct her bad habit.  My father told my sister if she keeps biting her fingernails, he will cut her fingers with a knife.  My sister promised that she would break this habit.

  One day, my father checked my sister's fingernails.  He discovered that my sister didn’t keep her promise.  My father was so angry that he really took a knife to cut off my sister’s fingers.  When my sister saw it, she was so afraid that she cried.

  In fact, my father just wanted to scare her.  Since then, my sister never bit her fingernails again.
