Learnnig English for what? I often asked myself that I learn English for what? I got the answer today. I have bought a tent that does not be sold in Taiwan. And at the beginning I ordered it form USA web site - Amazon. It costs around NT 20,000 dollars, then I found a web site in UK. The price of the tent is about NT 18,000 dollars. Then I canceled the order from Amazon. And keep looking this tent at other web site. Finally my efforts got paid off, I bought it from Germany and the price of the tent is NT 12,000 dollars. It means I earned NT 8,000 by my English skills, isn't it?

How can I buy it and who can help me ? I want to buy a tent from Amazon in Europe, but they told me that item can't shopping to Taiwan. How can I buy it and who can help me ?

Is that normal? I parked my car in a parking lot this morning. And then I went to office by bus, why didn't I drive to office directly? or why didn't I take the bus to office from home? I did that because of saving money. In Taipei, the fee for parking a car is too expensive, so do such stupid thing can save me about 4000 NT. for every month. May be you are thinking time is money, so wasting time equals wasting money, but to me, It is worth to spend time for saving that money.

What is an instance variable in Java? /* As a programer for 20 years, I think the most important thing in programming * is to manipulate the variables in a program. * * I am learning how to develop a Java program, so I want to know what's the * coding rules of variable in Java programming language. * * In other programming languages like coble or RPG, we declare a variable * once in a program then we can use the variable in anywhere of that program, * but in java, it's totally diffirent due to it's a object oriented programming * language, there are 3 kinds of variable in Java: * * 1. local variable. * 2. instance variable * 3. static/class variable. * * And now I just know they are located in diffirence places in the program code * and I want to know the detail, so the following is the code that can help me * to know what the instance variable is. * * In this class, I want to manipulate the instance variable and * to see what the instance variable is. * */ /** * * @author Louie Chen 2012/11/13 13:16 */ public class InstanceVariable { /** * The variables that I place in this position are called instance variables. */ int x = 0; /** * Adding 2 methods that use the instance variable x, by looking * the variable-x's value to understand what is a instance variable, * and how that can be used in a program. */ /** * The fist method is named methodA */ void methodA(){ x = x + 1 ; System.out.print(x); } /** * The second method is named methodB */ void methodB(){ x = x + 1 ; System.out.print(x); } public static void main(String argu[]){ InstanceVariable test = new InstanceVariable() ; test.methodA(); test.methodB(); } /** Do you really want to guess what's the result after I run the program? * Actually I don't really know what's the result brfore I run, but I guess * the result will be 12, and you know what? I am right, the result is 12. * that can explain why it called a instance variable. */ }

What is object oriented programming? I am learning the object oriented programming today, so now I am trying to describ what the object oriented programming is and it for what. It's one kind of programming skill, as a programmer we see everything as an object, for example a cat is an object and a car is also an object, and object owns state and behavior. So, if the object is a car, what are the states of the object? 1.color 2. size 3. seat. and what are the behavior of the object? 1. move 2. stop. When I have such concept, I use it on coding program, it may be let codding become easier.

Go get what you really wanted It's another day almost passed but I am still here. Using english skills to land a new job to earn more money is actually a daydream, but it's not the worst.

A virtual man named Allen Because there is no one to talk with me in English, I decided to create a virtual man and his name is Allen. What can Allen do? Of cause he can do every thing for me especially help me to practice speaking English. Our dialog is like this: Louie : Hi, Allen, come here and take a seat, I want to talk with you. Allen : Why me? There are so many people you can talk to in the web site - ITALKI. Louie : Tell me about it, you know you are free for doing such things, but in ITALKI I have to pay someone for teaching me. As you know I'm struggling to improve my English skill for making more money. And after I earn more money I will be able to hire a teacher to teach me. Allen : I see, so how are you today? Louie : Don't ask that again, that's actually not helping. Ask me something about biotech. Allen : Ok, do you know what's stem cell? Louie : Of cause I know, embryonic stem cells are our body's own repair kits which can morph into all of the cells in our bodys. Soon we actually will be able to use them to replace cells that are damaged or diseased. Allen : It's late, I want to go to bed, see you tomorrow. Louie ：See you!
