簡單。生活。享受

We came home too late last night to get up early today.

Fortunately, my son's Taekwondo class is at 1:00 pm today so we don't have to go out in the morning.

But we still have lots of things to do after his class.

We went to the Hermeishan Hiking Trail to watch the fireflies light up last night.

However, we seemed to miss out on the best time to watch the fireflies.

We didn't see as many fireflies as we saw last year.

*go watch fireflies light up：賞螢

*Hermeishan Hiking Trail：和美山步道

*miss out on：錯失

I started to book our flight and room last night for fear that all rooms and flights would be fully booked in July.

After booking the room, I started to book our flight  and then I found that my passport has expired for more than five years.

Now, I'm really worried that we can't go to Japan in July because there will be no flight available.

*be fully booked：全部預訂完畢

I planned to travel abroad with my family in July this year.

After discussing with my husband, we decided the destination of our trip was Osaka.

Now, I have to start to prepare our trip plans such as book a flight, book a room, plan the itinerary.

Although preparing the trip plans is interesting, it's extremely time-consuming.

*book a flight：訂機票

*book a room ：訂飯店

*plan the itinerary：計畫行程

*extremely time-consuming：非常耗時

I really enjoy programming and I am happy that I can be an Android developer.

When I am absorbed in programming, I don't see the time pass.

Sometimes, I hope my son can also be a software engineer in the future.

*be  absorbed in：專注於

*see the time pass：注意到時間逝去

I've learned Android application development for about two years since I went to the android development class in 2017.

After graduating from that class, I thought I couldn't get a job because of my age.

However, I've worked for more than 1 year as an Android developer.

Again, I had a long and boring meeting this morning.

I really wanted to know why I had to attend this meeting issues of which had nothing to do with me.

I didn't sleep well last night because it was too hot.

My son entered the national language text competition this morning.

He thought the test was pretty hard and he couldn't finish the question paper.

To reward him for his courage, we took him to eat the snow ice and he was very happy.

*the national language text competition：國語文競賽

*snow ice：雪花冰

I went to play the claw machines when I waited for my son this morning.

Just as I expected, I didn't get anything but it was fun.

We went to the night market near our home to play the pinball machine and bought our dinner.

*claw machine：抓娃娃機

*pinball machine：彈珠檯

Today was a happy day because of absence of my boss.

I finished an android app which was about recognition and translation of text this afternoon.

I have already kept a diary in English for 33 days.

*keep a diary：寫日記

I got the results of my son's midterm exam last night.

They were not as good as I expected.

However, it was a good chance for my son to realize that no pain, no gain.

*as good as I expectedl：像我預期中那麼好

I was keen to quit recently because I was fed up with working here.

There is nothing makes me feel happy at work because we had a overly critical boss.

However, I really want to possess one year experience in Android development in the same company.

*overly critical：太愛挑剔的

Sometimes I really want to know why kids can never focus on doing their homework.

Every time I have to take a lot of time to persuade my son to focus.

I was under more pressure than my son when his midterm exam was coming.

*under a lot of pressure：壓力很大

We had a long and boring meeting this morning.

When the meeting come to an end , it was almost 1:00 pm. 

As expected, my boss picked on me in the meeting even if I didn't make mistakes.

*come to an end：結束

*as expected：不出所料、不意外

I took a lot of time to prepare the Chinese question paper for my son yesterday.

Finally, my husband find a software that could produce all kinds of question paper and that really helped me saved my time.

However, my son still didn't review his exam util 4:30 and I really worried about his exam.

After my son's taekwondo class, we went to Costco to buy the book  "The Secret World of  Arrietty" and we'd like to eat lunch at Costco.

However, we could not only not find the book but also waited for a long time for eating our lunch because there were a lot of people wanting to eat lunch at Costco.

My son didn't review for his midterm exam until 4:30 pm.

*The Secret World of  Arrietty：借物少女艾莉緹

I asked my son about his exam yesterday and he thought he did well on the exam.

Everytime after talking with my boss, I feel angry and frustrated.

Sometimes I really envy people who are single because they have enough time to do what they want to do and they don't have to worry about their child.

I prepared the English question paper for my son to review for his midterm exam yesterday.

Then, I found preparing the English question paper was actually interesting.

However, when I showed off the test paper to my son, he said "You thought you were good, but I thought you were annoying" .

*prepared  the question paper：出考卷

*midterm exam：期中考

*review for the exam：複習考試

Last night, I saw my son's test paper and I was really shocked!

I thought he was well prepared for the test. 

Howerer, he didn't do well on his English test.

I even want to take leave to help him to study English this afternoon.

*take leave：請假

I got a work to test the 3d cameras this morning.

I thought testing a camera was just a piece of cake, but it finally took me a lot of time.

I haven't sleep well since the spring break and I feel so tired everyday.
