Compare and contrast living at home and in the dormitory (2 nd)

       Living in the dormitory was a great experience, it might would not happen in everyone's growth process, however in regard to a boy, they will have at least a time to undergone a military life that was like dormitory experience, so why I said “Living in the dormitory is a great experience”? Because it was different with living at home.

The third aspect is Perhaps can at any time of discuss the homework with the classmate, it can help me more faster to study every courses, because if I living at home, I can’t discuss the homework with the classmate immediately.

And I like two kinds of life styles very much, although most of this paragraph is mention the advantage of about living in the dormitory. In fact, living at home also has several advantages, for example like in diet aspect I could eat more health food when I living at home, but if I living in the dormitory maybe I would eat more fast food. Another advantage is life would more regulation. However, how to suit independent life is an important concept in the growing up, because it can change you more mature attitude while facing a lot of questions in the future.

      這星期兩堂英文課讓我了解了一個很重要的觀念,那就是保持良好的學習態度,我想這也許是我自己英文能力一直沒辦法像其他能力一樣進步的原因,學習英文並不會有立竿見影效果,所以恆心跟方法是很重要的關鍵,一位老師跟我們說,我們必須認真的規劃自己學習的目標,不用急進,一步一步來,並且徹底的執行,如此一來英文能力就會顯著的進步.另一位老師提到,學習應該全面性的規劃,不要只偏頗於一方面的進步,而忽略了其他能力,因為彼此之間是有關聯的,這樣才算真正的學習態度.
      遇到這兩位老師真的讓我覺得很慶幸,因為他們都提到關鍵的學習態度.

Why did I choose my major (final)

      I chose Electrical Engineering (EE) as my major due to my father's suggestion. Because EE was a main industry in Taiwan, so my father thought that majoring in EE might help me to have a stable job in the future.

      In the beginning, I did not have any interest in EE because what I had learned before were traditional courses such as motor circuit or electric circuit. I was more interested in the computer knowledge. When I went to the NTUST to study, we learned more high-tech electrical engineering knowledge. Unlike the motor knowledge of the past, we learned relatively such as the micro-computer technology that combines both hardware and software design knowledge, because EE is my major, so I have been in touch with hardware knowledge many years, that is not difficult to me, but computer program design are more strange for me. Then I started to get in touch with the computer program design, the concept of program design is very funny, first I need to plan how many functions I want to design in my mind, second I start to implement these function just use program language, In the beginning the program code(functions) was very simple. When I deployed the code on the execution environment, I could saw my program how to drive the hardware to work, for example like LED twinkle have the sequence or display number on the signal panel, that was so fascinate to me, so I wrote the code more and more to practice my program design ability, I want to design a more complete functional application program, finally in a micro-computer course final-term project, I designed a simple calculator use a chip 8255 and some peripheral hardware combine program ,this project help me get good grade at this course.

      The firmware or micro-computer program design are very interesting thing for me. I think I will focus on my study on the technique development of the firmware. Now I have a passion for this choice very much.
