Hyperloop system
Hyperloop system- the revolution of the transportation.
Nowadays, even though the highest speed trans, the
High-speed rail, have already saved us tremendous times, it still have to cost 2-3 hours for us from Taipei to Kaohsiung. Therefore, something extraordinary come out- the Hyperloop system which exceeds every single transportation in the world. It can reach the speed of 760 mph using very little energy. The concept of it's operation is quit simple. It exploits the vacuum and the magnetic levitation. In this case, there is little resistance that would decrease the speed of the vehicle since we put out all the air inside the tube. Not only can it save people immense times, but also can it be environmental friendly to out nature. I believe that each of us can meet this great invention in the near future.

Transport of the future
authentic
definition: If something is authentic, it is real, true, or what people say it is.
ex: He was there and saw what happened, so his is the only authentic account.
automation
definition: the use of machines and computers that can operate without needing human control.
ex: Automation and robotics have decreased the need for a large, highly skilled work force.
intervention
definition: action taken to intentionally become involved in a difficult situation in order to improve it or prevent it from getting worse.
ex: Repeated interventions on the currency markets have failed to prevent the value of the currency falling.
levitation
definition: the act of rising and floating, or making someone rise or float, in the air without any physical support.
ex: One of his most famous illusions was levitation, in which he caused his wife to rise from the stage.
far-fetched
definition: very unlikely to be true, and difficult to believe.
ex: Her story about being chased away from school by wolves seems pretty far-fetched.

Q: Are the speaking and listening tests difficult for you?
In my opinion, I think that listening part is easier than the speaking part. As for why, that is mainly because after a month of training, my listening skill has been enhanced to a higher level. However, I still have some obstacles in the speaking part since I don't have a lot of opportunities to speak in English. Hence, I have few chances to improve my pronunciation.
Q:What are the challenges you often face when you listen and speak in English?
In the listening part, the thing which is most challenging to me is to translate what I just listened. I have few seconds to translate the sentence. Most importantly, sometimes we might meet some words that we don't familiar with. As a consequence, it becomes harder when we try to understand the next part.
In the speaking part, I hold the opinion that students in Taiwan lack of way to refine their speaking. For example, I can just record what I said when I was training my speaking ability for the reason that I have no money to go to a tutor school. And then I listen to what I just said so that I can make some adjustment to my speaking.

My new plan this year
I have several plans for this new semester. I was preparing the Toefl test during the summer vacation so that I can apply the exchange program in NTUB on November. I always want to go to Europe to travel. Therefore, I have to earn the money as much as I can to cover the travel expense in the future.
Moreover, I also want to learn a second foreign language which is related to the country that I want to go to exchange. In the same, I hope that I can keep all my grade of academic subject in a excellent level. Hopefully, everything will go according to my plan.
