開學第一天原本也沒什麼好記錄的，但老師的大將之風一秒就把我給折服了，不得不上來誇她幾句。
婀娜姿態、輕盈步伐再加上由內散發至外的高貴氣質，老師一走進教室就帶著一股高人的氣息。而她一開口，竟是操著一口流利的英式英文，偶爾還自然地說出一兩句玩笑話，讓人好生敬佩。
然而，最讓我敬佩的並不是她的外表或談吐，是她所傳達的觀點：
"Don't give up your Chinese. "
"It's because we live in an environment where Chinese is used so widely, that makes the language less cherished around us. "
"If you can't speak your mother tongue, you can't speak any foreign language. "
"Speaking English does not make you a better person."
果然是高人啊！如此非一般的說辭，說出了人家多少的內心話！
這個地方真的把英文看得太過重要了。English is so damn overrated here!雖然這是目前的國際語言，但卻不是唯一的語言！比起英文，把自己母語學好並掌握得更好難道不是一件更重要的事嗎？可有些人就是愛冷不防剌個一兩句英文顯得自己多麼高高在上。
慶幸這學期的主要課程都是由老師帶，覺得應該可以受很多啟發～期待未來的一學期甚至一學年裡老師所帶來的更精彩的課程！

公車上的突發奇想
有時候也在想，那些討厭的事與物，會不會有一天變成自己的日常？
社會人之間的冷漠；
對於善行的不齒與戒心……
是否這些，都成為現代人生活的模版？
為什麼對陌生人熱情會是奇怪？
為什麼要幫助別人之前總得先鼓起勇氣？
為什麼要受人恩惠之前需多方顧慮？
這世界就是如此嗎？
這世界不該如此不是嗎？
然而，
受過現實的熏染，又有多少人，能夠保有初心？

Heathens from Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad really has the best soundtracks!!! This is one of my favourites!!! Heathens by twenty one pilots.
The music fits the movie 100% well!!! So dark so gloomy and all!!!
Yet the best part is the lyrics.
Here's which I like the most:
You'll never know the psychopath setting next to you
You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you
You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?"
Not only it describes the scenes and stories in the movie, it also tells the stories of our lives. Like... People often get obsessed in what we do, then we become lost on our ways to achieve what we want. We forget our priorities, true responsibilities and even worse, we leave behind our purest intentions before we started the race in our lives in order to get our goals.
Then we mess everything up, not knowing how messed up we are. One day, all of a sudden, only we realize we're not living the lives we wanted in the first place. When we hit this stage in life, we have already lost some of the most important things. Love, friends or maybe even family.
Isn't this exactly what the lyrics is about? In the middle of our effort to lead a good life, we get involved in the ways of the "psychopaths and "murderers" in our lives. One day we'll be asking ourselves "How'd I get to this terrible point in my life?" By that time, we may have already lost our loved ones.
Back to the song. The second best part is the sudden end of things, accompanied by the very well written lines:
Why'd you come, you know you should have stayed
I tried to warn you just to stay away
And now they're outside ready to bust
It looks like you might be one of us
Given the singer sings this out as a prisoner(in the video), it's like telling those who haven't done wrongs(or haven't got lost in their lives) to beware of this world, from an experienced to a less experienced. Yet we always ignore good advice. So at the end of the day, people will still easily fall into the dark side of the world. And so it says,"It looks like you might be one of us" with a sudden ending, leaving the unknowns as unknown, exactly a portray of life.
Don't get what I say? Watch the MV!!! It's definitely a song worth listening.
