3 words/phrases I learn:

1. confession   N.
a statement that you have done something wrong, illegal, or embarrassing, especially a formal statement

make a confession
The police interviewed him for five hours before he finally made a confession.

2. estimate  V.
to try to judge the value, size, speed, cost etc of something, without calculating it exactly

estimate that
Scientists estimate that smoking reduces life expectancy by around 12 years on average.

 3. freak out  phrasal verb (informal)
to become very anxious, upset, or afraid, or make someone very anxious, upset, or afraid

freak somebody out
The whole idea freaked me out.

My thoughts：

I also thought that the stress makes people sick before I watch this video. This video is really change my mind about stress.

A little test of a math make people's heart be pounding and breathing faster, or maybe breaking out into a sweat. I think it is interesting.

When we familiar with this test,we can be funny with this. So, really the stress bad for us?

I think a little stress can make we progress!

#4 English song

"Firework"  Theme song of " MADAGASCAR 3 " Link：  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGJuMBdaqIw Singer： Katy Perry Introduce: Perry was born in Santa Barbara, California in October 25th, 1984. American pop music superstar Katy Perry is known for hits like 'I Kissed a Girl,'  'Teenage Dream,' 'Firework,' 'Roar' and 'Dark Horse'.

Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing Do you know that there's still a chance for you 'Cause there's a spark in you? You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine Just own the night like the 4th of July 'Cause, baby, you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "O

#1 Hello!

Hello,welcome to Alice's Blog. I’m the freshman who currently studying at Public Finance and Tax Administration. I graduated from Hukou high school which in Hsinchu. And my birthday is on December, 23rd. In my free time, I like to listen to the music especially k-pop and j-pop. So I attend the club which names Tsaiyin Guitar.  I practice drumming in the club. It’s pretty cool and releasing stresses. If you interested in it, you have to try it once. Sometimes I also go to the movie theater to see new movies  that let me temporarily forget the pressure in real life. So happy that you come to see my blog. If you have the same hobby or anything that you want to say, you can leave a message. Maybe we can be good friends ! 🙌 This is me, haha!
