A creative person

When it comes to a creative person , Hayao Miyazaki is the first one who flashes through my mind .Hayao Miyazaki ( 宮崎 駿 ) is a prominent director of lots of animated films which win universal praise , and also , a co-founder of Studio Ghibli .

Almost everyone knows some Hayao Miyazaki's works . My neighborhood Totoro , Kiki's delivery service and Princess Mononoke are all famouse animations when we were little . His works just acompany us growing up . With a mysteriously unknown world and lots of magical characters , Spirited away has become my favorite one . Always , Hayao Miyazaki put warm and fragrant elements into creations , thus touching me deeply in the heart .

Miyazaki ' s films are not only full of magic and marvellous things that make people's imagination soar , but also suggest some important common themes to audiences , such as environmental protection ( ex : Princess Mononoke ) , antiwar thinking ( ex : Nausicaa ) , or maintaining a pacifist ethic . This is what I believe the most important part . Through these works , he conveyed his concern to the world , telling us how vital environmental protection and anti-war are . Combining animated films with important issues is really creative . With his creative style , Hayao Miyazaki has already become a legendary animated film director .

PART I
A. Transcribe the complete text
Your attention please
Thank you for choosing earth as your planetary vehicle
We hope you enjoy the many wonderful features of this planet as you hurtle through cosmos
Please note however
That in the event of continued inaction in the face of global warming
Your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device
Also
Please take a moment to locate this planet's emergency exits
As you can see
There aren't any
Earth to America !
Can your hear ?
Sending out a message
Loud and clear
Can you hear ?
B. What do you think of this performance?
This performance uses a very unique way publicizing the danger of earth caused by global warming . It impresses people and stricks me when seeing the words " AS YOU CAN SEE , THERE AREN'T ANY ( exit ) ". He's right , we have only one earth and no elsewhere can go .( stop hopefully expecting that there will be another planet letting us move in in the future , the global warming is right now ! ozone hole is getting bigger and bigger right now ! acid rain is everywhere right now ! we are suffered from all these right now ! ) It is essential for us to put " stop global warming " into practice other than just know it .

PART II
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
We were all born in the earth , so I think everyone has right to become a global citizen . I am one part of this world , participating in lots of human activities ( such as economy) . I always read the global news from Yahoo News . Concerning international news make me keep the same pace with world .
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
As we know , the environment has been cruelly injured . Being a global citizen , I enjoy sources on the earth , thus having responsibility to pertect the earth . Although my strength is small , if everyone can contribute his/her own strength , the gathering power most be strong . To become a better global citizen , I'll try my best doing the environmental protection , providing my effort.

Common European Framework
I think my CEF level is between B1 and B2 . Maybe reading ability is better ( B2 ) , because I have already had a large quantity of practices in senior high . But listening is weak . And I'm not really sure which level of speaking do I stand , since we don't have many opportunities to speak .

Revise my CEEP
My goal is still passing the GEPT中高級 .
The original plan need some adjustments and add something new .
This is the new plan after revised .

• 1 . Reading Advance according to the schedule arranged by the magazine itself . Memorizing the new vocabulary .
• 2 . Reading CNN ( made by LiveABC ) . Trying to learn the world news written in English . CNN's compact disk is really useful . Using it well can improve my listening and speaking ability indeed . ( and go to the real CNN website sometimes . )
• 3 . Watching HBO ( or Star movies , Cinemax ) in my spare time . It's my interest and can learn English as well . They always use colloquial words , so it won't be too difficult to understand . I can find some interesting usage during their conversation , and it's fun !

These are workable and won't take too much time a day .
I hope I'll put my plan into practice .

陳虹安-My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan

My Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan for 2007-2008 School Year

1. Special goal

My parents hope that I can study abroad for master's degree , and that means I'll have to take the test of TOELF or IELTS someday . TOEIC is also important to students like us majoring in economics and maybe are going to spend our future on business . So getting good grades on it is necessary . It is such a big , long plan to get all these qualifications , now passing the GEPT 中高級 is my first goal . Lots of challenges are there waiting for me , I must have to face them step by step and spare no efforts preparing =) .


2.Specific Actions that you think will be effective to achieve that goal

Improving my English ability on all aspect (reading , listening , especially writting) is essential . Reading Advance everyday can memorize some new words , strengthen my reading ability . My dad gave me a series of English reference books called - Ho's Complete English Grammer , studying them might help improving my poor grammer . Learning English from movies and English songs as I always do . This can make English learning fun and efficent . Last but not least , grasping all opportunities to speak English .
