Chapter 7- Bicycle

     As a student in NCKU, there is an indispensable thing when I crossing different campuses, rushing to classes and buying daily supplies, that is my bicycle.
     My father bought the second-handed red bicycle for me, although it is not a new bike and I also fixed the bike for a few times, it carries many memories. The reason I want to write my bike is because it almost represents my freshman year. I rely on my bike to go wherever I want to go, but the situation might become different next semester since I will have a motorcycle.
     I think the relation between me and my bike is just like get along with people ,when I received the bike from my father is like the first time I meet someone. And as the time goes, we are getting more and more familiar to each other, also sometimes I need to take care about and fixed it like people care each other. However, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Just like the human, no one can accompany with you forever, and so as my bike. Although, I might still use it, it would not be as often as now.
     In spite of it just a bike, I have a strong feeling to it since it took me the know this school and this place more deeply. Moreover, it has accompanied I for almost a year. Last but not least, I have so many words to my bike because I realized how important my bike is. I parked my bike at a wrong place last week and it was locked, so I had to walk to classes every day this week.

Chapter 6 – Dcard (2)

     Last week l introduced a popular app among college students - Dcard. Although this app have been downloaded for over one million times, I pointed two disadvantages last week and I am going to pointed other disadvantages.

*Meaningless Articles
The original intention of Dcard is to communicate with other students and exchange useful information. However, as the time goes there are more and more meaningless articles and make the quality of Dcard getting lower and lower. Some people feel upset to saw this kind of situation and do not want to use the app at all.

*Age Limit
Users have to register their e-mail of college so that can upload the articles and draw cards. According to the statistic of Ministry of Education, there are about one million people study in college now. However, there are just forty thousand people register now, and means that even they are not a college students, they can easily download the app. Frankly speaking, some categories of Dard are not suitable for people under eighteen, although those people can not upload articles, they can still browse all of articles. I think it might cause problems because if some teenagers imitate the inappropriate behaviors in the articles of Dcard. So I believe that it is need to have the regulation of the user's age limit.
       
     Some of you might think I am to exaggerate to just argue an app, but I think even just a small thing can cause unpredictable outcomes. Moreover, we live in an Internet world, everything can spread every fast, so that we should judge a thing more carefully and even an app.

Chapter 5 - Dcard(1)

     What would you do when you using the cellphone? If you are a college student from Taiwan, I believe that Dcard plays an important part to some of your daily life. However, it seems that Dcard is a popular app, but do we really know about this app and realize what problems it may cause?

*What is Dcard
Dcard is an app that can let some Taiwanese college students (Not all the colleges' students can use it) to share their experiences or chat with students from different colleges' students. Moreover, the most distinguishing feature of Dcard is "Draw Card", if your self introduction is conform to the app's regulations, you will match with one Dcard user after 12:00 everyday.

After introducing Dcard, I am going to talk about the disadvantages that this app has caused because since Dcard began in 2011, it already has some controversial events.

*Anonymity
Anonymity is also one of the feature of Dcard, it means that users can upload aggressive and insult words but don't need to show their name. This kind of situation sometimes happened, although the app's controllers can delete those words; however, it's a Internet world nowadays, and messages can spread very fast, it may already caused harms to whom involved.

*Sponsored Post
Sometimes we can find some users upload propaganda and seems to introduce clothing or cosmetics, but in fact, they just want to advertising some brands that sponsored them. The reason why there are still this kind of article appeared is because Dcard dose not have precise standard. Dcard's articles divide in many categories, but in some categories , share personal information and advertising is allow and some categories can't. Maybe Dard has to come up with a more complete regulations to solve this problem.

As a Dcard user, I do have some feeling about the changing of Dcard, so next week I will share another feeling and also finish this topic. I will be glad if you can share your opinion of Dcard, see you next week.

Chapter 3 - Basketball(2) - OB Game

Really really far
  Although I planned to introduce the school gym more clearly this week, but I want to talk about a special basketball game I participated in last Sunday. The word "OB" is the abbreviation of "Old Boys", and means that I have chance to play basketball with many seniors who had played in our department's basketball team.
  Because of some of seniors have to work on week days, there are some limitations of the time of OB game. There were three matches and the first game was at 7:30 a.m.; moreover, the game place is at Xinhua Vocational High School, so we had to depart from our school at 6 o'clock a.m.
  Though the weather was not good and even rained, after riding the scooter for half an hour, we finally arrived our destination. Once we went into the gym, I started to feel excited because OB game is a traditional event for our team and for a long time, and I have such honor to joined the special game.
  It was a pity that we lost both two matches, and I think we still have some room to improve our teamwork. When we played against other seniors, I saw a lot of good ball movement and nice teamwork, all the seniors showed their experience even some of them don't play basketball very often recently. I really had a great day and learned a lot, I hope that someday when I become a senior and even graduate for many years, I can still play basketball with my teammates, seniors and juniors.
It was really a great day
