In order to finish the report which the Chinese teacher assigned,I went to National Palace Museun with my two group members.There were so many exhibitions for us to choose from,but we decided to go to see the special exhibition---Splendor of the Baroque and Beyond:Great Habsburg Collectors-Masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.We entered the exhibition hall at about nine-thirty,half an hour after its open time.At first there were few people in the hall,but it did not take long when more and more people flooded in.
Beginning around the year 1600, the demands for new art resulted in what is now known as the Baroque.The word baroque probably derives from the ancient Portuguese noun "barroco"[citation needed] which is a pearl that is not round but of unpredictable and elaborate shape.A defining statement of what Baroque signifies in painting is provided by the series of paintings executed by Peter Paul Rubens for Marie de Medici at the Luxembourg Palace in Paris (now at the Louvre),in which a Catholic painter satisfied a Catholic patron: Baroque-era conceptions of monarchy, iconography, handling of paint, and compositions as well as the depiction of space and movement.(quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque)
Not knowing which picture I should choose as my topic,I saw all paintings hung on the wall and quickly wrote down any important information on my notebook.Because we didn't follow a narrator or rent audio tour service,we had more freedom to see whichever painting we like.But soon we regretted---we had no idea which one was worth paying much attention to and what more stories were about the painters!
Finally we chose three painters as our own topics and left the exhibition hall at around twelve o'clock.Before our leave, we went to the gift shop to buy some souvenirs as symbols of our arrival.Though I spent only three hours visiting National Palace Museum,I acquired a lot of artistic knowledge and Biblical stories from the Baroque.

A History Class
Yesterday was a day with the least classes that I have ever attended since I entered the college.There were only two---two history classes in the afternoon,for that the two Accouting classes were suspended on a short notice.
After Group 3 having done their report on Myanmar Saffron Revolution,the teacher gave them some suggestion and told the whole class that because there would be something emergent for her to deal with,she would dismiss the class before three o'clock.Then she told us several stories,true stories which happened around her.
The teacher have helped many students who have ever been stucked in a hard time in their lives.She did so many good deeds yet God did not repay her equally.Her daughter was diagnosed as a strange disease which cannot be cured presently.I may not remember all stories she told,but this one impressed me very much.I was moved when the teacher described the symptoms her daughter suffered from.I felt so sorry that such a lovable girl should ccome down with that incurable illness,with only two hundred and more in the world suffer from it.
Thanks to this class,though it lasted just about an hour,I did learn a lot of philosophy of life from it.And thank you,teacher,I feel that it's a true blessing to own a healthy body and have so many people care about me.I will always cherish what I have,forever...

The Way I Enjoy My Life
I wish that I could live in a small cottage,located in woods,where there are a stream and few people living nearby.When I got up in the early morning,I would make my way to the woods,hear birds and bugs chirping in the trees,breath fresh air,and smell fragrance spread from flowers.I might grow some vegetables and fruit trees on a small land behind my cottage,in which I can harvest them when they are ripe.How I wish this could be a dream come true!This is not only the very style of life that I'd like to lead,yet the way I want to enjoy my life best.
Unfortunately, as a college student now,I have no time and no money to afford such a desired life.But to me,simply listening to my favorite songs,reading my favorite novels,and going out with my friends can make me happy.I enjoy being with them---my friends and my family.At present I may not be qualified to deserve such a dream life,yet I know that I always have the chance to make my dream fulfilled,as long as I make up my mind and strike for it.

Global Citizens
"Recycle!Reduce!Reuse!"
Since a little girl,I have been taught not to make water running,not to litter willingly,not to use disposable tableware too often,and not to throw away things which still can be used easily. As if by magic,those preached eco-friendly conceptions and slogans have deeply rooted in our minds.Somehow I come to practice those dos and don'ts in my daily life.When I have to buy something in a supermarket,the first way I consider reaching there is to walk or ride a bike,then I will choose to take a bus for the last choise,if not within a walking distance.Once I leave a room,I keep a habit of turning off the lights and all the other electroinic appliances.If I get a flier,I will be more likely to keep it as a calculating paper.
Generally speaking,most people in the world,or global citizens,have been aware of the global problems and tried to solve them.As a member of global citizens,I will keep carrying through eco-friendly practice and prevent people who intend to destroy our living place.
