Finally we have air conditioner in our class, but the bad thing that it’s cost a lot of money, about 1000 NT dollars a week. And its’ not very cold, after all it’s better than nothing. We found about six junior classmates to our team, and we are going to a debate competition on October tenth, I think we might lose a lot as we just practice for a few months. We spend our noon break to gather together to practice, even though out time is still not enough. When the competition is near, I think we will spend more time to practice. There is less competition in Taichung, so we have to go to other places to compete with other high school. Like the competition this time is in Kaohsiung so we have to take train to get there. Almost all the school which joins the competition is high school; I think we might be the only vocational high school which has joined the competition. I have to thanks to my friend, because he is very good at it so that he can teach us, even it’s very tired, he still try his best to teach us. When the near, a student of National Chung Hsing University will come to our school to teach us. He saw my friend in the competition before, and he voluntary to teach us. Our exam in the school is coming soon, so I am very busy. I have to search the information of the debate, and have to read the textbook in our school. I decided to go to Taipei to see the comic exhibition which is on the following day of the competition, so we have to come back in the same day and go to Taipei in the following day. I think it might be very tired to do that.

This week is still very hot, it is almost fall but the weather hasn’t been cold yet. Many classes in our school already started to use the air conditioner even the first grade of our school started to use the air conditioner, but the air conditioner in our classes still have a lot of problems. It is so hot that every time after we raise the flag, whole of my uniform were wet. It is very uncomfortable, and I have to took off me shoes off during the school day. This week we stated to form a debate team, at first we decided to form association of debate. But the bad thing is the manager of our school told us that she would love to help us to form the association, but the time is too late that all of the people have already chose the association. So she told us to forms the association next year, but next we are third grade and we don’t have much time to take part in it. So his week we are busy in finding people to join the team, so we started to sent the leaflet to the student in the first grade every day in the noon. And we decided to have a test on Friday, and chose about ten to fifteen people to our team. We are very excited and expect there will have a lot of girls wanted to join the team. But it is very cool in the real world, when the test begins, there were just about seven people and two girls in it. In the end, there was just one people didn’t pass the test. I think the test is quit easy and the second reason is that there was less people join the test. We will start to practice in next week; debate is much harder than I think.

This week is so hot that I even took off my clothes during the class. We had already device the air-conditioner, but the bad thing is that we can only see it but not be able to use it. And we have to go out to raise the flag three times a week, and it is so hot and the precedent speak so long that we are almost fall down in a faint. And after the GM class most of our classmates took off their chose and use the fan to cool down the heat, it is just like a hell to me. We decided to go to Kaohsiung to visit our cousin, but unfortunately they had already gone to Ilan, so we have to cancel our plan to go there for two days. Instead a cousin of mom decided to come to visit our house, so we started to clean our house, mom and dad clean so late, they clean until three or four o’clock. The cousin of mom I have never see them before, last time they visited our house, I haven’t born yet. They arrive at our house at about noon, so we go out and have lunch together. We go to huo-guo to have lunch, but I think I couldn’t eat as much as I could eat before, I think I already full since I eaten the first plate. But I still tried my best to eat as much as I can. Our cousin always speaks in Taiwanese, so I can hardly understand what they are talking about. After eating the lunch, I told to dad and mom that I am going to his office to study so that I don’t have to social to them. So I go there for whole day, when I got home they have already gone home.
