  • 來自於巴菲特的金玉良言, some words from Warren Buffet

 
There was a one-hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:
1.He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2.He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3.He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4.He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5.He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
6.His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
7.He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.
8.Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
9.Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.


His advice to young people: "Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and Remember:
A.Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
B.Live your life as simple as you are.
C.Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel good.
D.Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
E.Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
F.After all,it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our life.

  • 英文短篇閱讀 - Valentine's Day 的由來

Feast of Lupercalia
 
    The holiday of Valentine's Day probably derives its origins from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia. In the early days of Rome, fierce wolves roamed the woods nearby. The Romans called upon one of their gods, Lupercus, to keep the wolves away. A festival held in honor of Lupercus was celebrated February 15th. The festival was celebrated as a spring festival. Their calendar was different at that time, with February falling in early springtime.
 One of the customs of the young people was name-drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man drew a slip. The girl whose name was chosen was to be his sweetheart for the year
 
 
Valentine's Day
     Legend has it that the holiday became Valentine's Day after a priest named Valentine. Valentine was a priest in Rome at the time Christianity was a new religion. The Emperor at that time, Claudius II, ordered the Roman soldiers NOT to marry or become engaged. Claudius believed that as married men, his soldiers would want to stay home with their families rather than fight his wars. Valentine defied the Emperor's decree and secretly married the young couples. He was eventually arrested, imprisoned, and put to death
 Valentine was beheaded on February 14th, the eve of the Roman holiday Lupercalia. After his death, Valentine was named a saint. As Rome became more Christian, the priests moved the spring holiday from the 15th of February to the 14th - Valentine's Day. Now the holiday honored Saint Valentine instead of Lupercus




這篇應該不錯, 不會太長, 又比較成熟一點...  希望妳用得上  ^^

  • 來點英文閱讀: 新的科技產品

記得我先前說過  要提升自己對英文的興趣  就要從自己喜愛的東西開始
 
今天分享兩小段 Digital Living 中介紹的兩樣有趣的新東西
希望你和我ㄧ樣感興趣
 
 
 
MOBIBLU DAH-15001 CUBE
 
WHAT IT IS:  The world's smallest MP3 player
 
WHY YOU WANT IT:  If you dig tiny tech, you'll absolutely love the MobiBlu DAH-1500i Cube ($129).  It's arguably the world's smallest MP3 player, weighing in at 0.6 ounce - even less than the featherweight iPot Shuffle.  And it manages to pack a host of features into its 1-cube-inch body, including 1GB of storage, an OLED screen, support for MP3 and WMA (including DRM) files, an FM tuner, voice and FM recording, and five preset EQ setting plus a custom setting.

SCOTT eVEST MILAN
 
WHAT IT IS:  High-tech leather jacket
 
WHY YOU WANT IT:  The slikckest (and, at $450, the priciest) new addition to the Scott eVest Line of technology-enabled clothing, "the chocolate-brown napa lambskin Milan jacket includes 41 pockets and compartments to stash all the gadgetry you could possibly imagine.  Tech-friendly features such as battery holders and hidden conduits for headphone and other wires make the buttery-soft Milan not just fashionable, but also funcitonal .
 
www.scottevest.com
 
p/s  按 [view x-ray] 那個地方, 你會看到這件夾克神奇的地方 
 


 
有沒有發現, 句子的結構其實都很簡單
 S + V + 一長串的補充說明
 
只要記得主詞, 動詞的一致性, 補充說明多半是以子句或是片語的型態出現
 
不要想得太複雜!!

  • Lost Mitten

Banana Republic 的廣告
 
There's only one problem with FATE.
It's frustrating.
Like the day FATE handed Will Elliott his destiny on the front steps of the National Museum.
Yes, right in Will's path, not ten feet from him, was Emily Baker, his needle in the proverbial haystack.
And what did he do?
Follow her? 
Accidentally bump into her?
Nope.
He saw his chance - and he totally blew it.
FATE, however, was generous that day.
It gave him a second chance in the form of a mitten -Emily's mitten- which she dropped on her way into the museum.
And so...countinued at holidaystory.com


這是BANANA REPUBLIC的廣告
我覺得不是挺難的
也滿有趣的
你們可以讀一讀
後半段的故事在holidaystory.com
裡面有好幾個故事
這個故事的名字是  lost mitten


片語  needle in a haystack -海裡捞針

  • 另一個很cute的NIKE廣告詞

MY HIPS
  RETURN TO PUBERTY
   WHEN I'M IN DANCE CLASS.
 
      MUSIC AFFECTS THEM LIKE HORMONES
 
         MAKING THEM CRAZY
 
           AND SPONTANEOUS
 
            AND OPTIMISTIC
 
           AND PRONE TO DRAMA
 
        AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM
 
      AND SOMETIMES THEY
 
     DON'T UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES.
 
      WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS
                                                                                                   
         THEY'RE STILL CHARGED
 
             DON'T TOUCH ME
 
                  SPARKS WILL FLY.
 
                       JUST DO IT.
