Shiina Ringo Kareha Autumn Leaves



Oh... je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux òu nous étions amis
En ce temps-là, la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil, plus brillant qu'aujourd'hui
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli

Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
La chanson que tu me chantais...

C'est une chanson que nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais, et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimait
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grew long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

10' Summer

FB讓人淺薄,讓人在若即若離的關係中尋求溫暖
就像毒藥一樣讓人深陷
可有一部分總永遠不能滿足,而自身越現空泛。

而誠實再現也非不再在乎,但唐突衝突皆並而來太多不真實。
命運的捉弄人般的戲劇化也終結,而我仍在此。

我們似乎都開始面對自己的人生,我們即將不再相干。

最近太陽猛烈,我總望著窗外想像著在瑞典的日子。
紮實而古樸的吐司與醇味十足的乳製品
簡單而豐富的生活
太不真實

T2

托福的話,絕對是可以自己念的.不過準備一年太久了,我會建議你累一點準備半年.我當初大概馬馬虎虎的準備了半年,但真的認真念書也是報名考試(因為這絕對是念書的動力)以後密集念了三個月,但因為我當初助理工作很輕鬆,甚至連上班時間我都可以念書或練聽力,一天大概可以念個六小時.我建議你可以時間拉長,準備個半年(但相信我,先報名考試日期,這樣絕對就會開始念書,不要擔心自己準備來不及,考試這東西,就是越靠近考試日期越認真,而不是準備個一年就可以比別人好很多,相對就懶散沒有動力).我有補口說,在美加補的,老師是畢凌晨,他是外國人,會給你口說模板等等的,我覺得滿有用的,因為在台灣真的用不到口說,考試會慌,有模板,有人幫你分析題型,會安心很多.大概是一個禮拜上兩次課,為期兩個月,大概六千元.不必補其他項目,很多同學跟我說那根本浪費錢和時間,而且補習的時間越多,念書的時間就相對少,托福有很多網路上的資源可以用,PTT留學版(我忘了有沒有托福版,你也可以看看大家準備的經驗,模擬自己的STUDY
SCHEDULE)和中國太傻網還有很多別人分享的軟體,你可以問問看郭千慧(當初她給我一片托福的光碟)或其他有準備托福的同學,有很多軟體和模考題可以練習,因為我現在人在國外了,那些東西我好像都帶回台南的家了......STUDY
SCHEDULE我會建議你,先自己念一個月(背一些單字起來,也了解托福的考試型態,題型等等),然後去美加補兩個月口說,這兩個月回家就練習口說和背單字,不要太貪心,你還有工作,然後最後三個月就聽說讀寫一起來,多做模考題.記得先報名是重點,哈.我也只考了一次,103分,當初成績出來我也嚇一大跳,覺得很開心,雖然跟真的很強的人比可能沒什麼,但這是我們努力的結果.我相信你知道我們兩個之前在台灣的英文程度差不多,所以你一定可以考到100分以上,要相信自己:))))))))

我覺得,不管考試考的怎樣,都還是要申請,履歷寫的好,讀書計畫寫的好,都可以加分很多的,考試成績不是唯一,如果因為一直覺得自己考不好,而沒有申請出國,是最裹足不前的,申請的學校差一點沒關係,出的來就好.更何況這些學校在台灣的名氣,不代表在美國的名氣,也不代表在世界各地的名氣.重點是,到時候可以留下來在美國工作一陣子,有國際工作經驗,才是重點.另一個重點是,在這裡念書不一定要念的多好,重點是語言要弄得非常好,英文練的很好才是重點.

雖然現在美國景氣很不好,申請也比較難申請,因為很多美國當地人也回學校念書,但我還是出來啦,所以要相信自己,要拿獎學金也是很有機會的,但關於獎學金的部分,我當初沒時間了解,你可能要問郭千慧,她有拿獎學金.不過很多也是學校自己主動給的.老實說碩士要拿獎學金機會比較少一點(比起博士),但還是可以試試看.

我會建議,重點是了解國外文化和把英文弄到非常好,所以爭取在國外待比較久的時間絕對比較好(言下之意就是不要考慮英國,因為很貴但可以一年就畢業....)如果真的有經濟上的考量,可以考慮加拿大或澳洲.我之前有聽留學的人說過,其實加拿大也不錯,在美國申請的上top30的人,在加拿大可以申請到top10,而且加拿大的教授也多是美國名校畢業,所以聽起來是很OK的.(但我自己不知道,所以你要多問問)

另外,代辦很重要,你一定要找代辦,幫你改履歷,讀書計畫還有很多申請的事情,還有練phone
interview,我認識一個代辦叫VICKY,非常的棒,我當初沒機會給她申請到,不然我相信我可能會有更好的學校:),但他專長是美國,所以你還是要先想想,多問問,決定好哪個領域哪個國家,我們再來討論DETAIL的事情.另外,各個學校各個系所也都會把自己的課程和專長和相關資訊放在網站上,也可以看看,也當練習英文.另外,我們也可以來個SKYPE聊天,但當然是全英文,這樣我們可以了解彼此的生活近況,也順便練習英文.如果你有時間的話,我們可以SET
UP時間.
