Oral Communication Final preparation

Following is the notes from my Oral Communication Final preparation,question number six: Financial IQ.

Alice: Hey, I am a little bit curious about your spending habits. Will you make a shopping list or make a budget before you go shopping?
Laro : Oh yes, I always will make a shopping list before I go shopping. I find it is a useful way to control my money spending, and at this time I will think more about things I am going to buy.
Peng: Ha! As for me, no never! I always just watch at my wallet and say “oh, I just can spend 200 dollars today” and then go out. I seldom think so much before I go shopping.
Eva: Well, I sometimes will think a little bit about my budget before I go shopping. Sometimes, not every time.
Christine: Then, will you keep your mind on your spending when you are shopping?
Laro: Uh, most of the times, yes. It’s not easy, but it is really an efficient way to control your cash. However, I will lose my control sometimes.
Zoe: So, what are your standards when you are buying things? The look, the price, the brand, the quality, or the function, or anything else?
Alice: I think the quality is the most important. If you buy a thing that is not so good and it break very soon, that actually is a waste of time and money. The look is important too. How can you stand on using an ugly thing for a long time?
Eva: I think “brands” is one way when choosing from several items. Sometimes brands means that they are recognized by the majority.
Peng: Hey, will you make a record after you buy things?
Zoe: No, that’s troublesome. Why ?
Christine: Uh, actually, yes I will. Since I am in the accounting department, my mother always says “do you know exactly how much you spend per day? “ So I have the habit that keep a buying record recently.

Final

The final exam are coming and the first semester of my college life is ending! Time really pass soon. There are a lot of things waiting for me to do and a lot of materials waiting to study, so I think I won't appear on the blog next ten days. Well, I hope I'll have a good end of the smemster.

Look back and look forward

It's always a good time to look back and make a new plan for future during new year's time.

Let's separate last year (2007) into two parts, senior high school part and college part. In fact, I was unhappy at the first part. I was unhappy with how I did things, unhappy with what I have down, and, unhappy with myself. Just unhappy at that time. However, there were happy times, though. For example, I think I did learn some that time.

For the second part, I think I'm getting used to college life, getting used to spend about 3 to 4 hours per day on traffic. It's tired! And my majors are not easy, actually, headaches. Well, I will try to handle my studies as hard as I can.

Bonne Année !

Hey ! I just watched Taipei 101's frame work ! It was as splendid as usall, however I feel it was shorter than berfore. Someone said that because this time used big shots rather than smaller but constantly ones compared with last time's fire work.
