TOTORO II

version two

This picture is about a Japanese cartoon, Totoro. There is a big Cat Bus in the middle of the picture. On the Cat Bus’s face, there is a bright smile, a cute red nose, and a pair of big eyes. Two rays are emitted from its eyes. There are many windows on the bus. At the top of the bus, there lie two gray rats. Inside the bus, there are numbers of totoros. The totoros have two ears, two eyes, a nose and a mouth, just like big cats which can stand by two foot. Next the bus stands two little girls. They are sisters. Both of the girls are dressed in red. In the older sister’s hand, there is an umbrella. There are many trees behind the bus. It is dark. They might in the middle of a big forest.
The girls are looking at the Cat Bus and totoros curiously. They have never met such creatures. The totoros are curious about the girls, too. One of the totoros even gets off the bus in order to see them clearer. The Cat Bus and totoros looks very friendly. I think they would be very happy if the little girls join their trips!
TOTORO is my favorite cartoon, because it is so cute and heart-warming. It is a story about a family who moved from a big city to the country. The day they arrived there, the two sisters had an exploration. Then they met totoros and Cat Bus. Their wonderful trip is just what the story tells.

Knowing how to go to see a doctor is very important. Being familiar with the steps of seeing a doctor can not only saves your time but sometimes even saves your life. Every country has its own rule of seeing a doctor, and I would like to introduce the rule in Taiwan.
For example, if you want to go to see a doctor in Chang Gung Hospital, you should follow the following steps. To begin with, bring your Health Insurance IC Card and enough money before you go out. When you arrive the hospital, first, go to the hospital’s counter, register and pay the registration fee at the count. Second, go to the waiting room and wait for your turn. When it is your turn, go into the clinic room. Then tell the doctor your symptoms and answer the doctor’s questions as clear as possible. Also, follow the nurse’s instructions. After seeing the doctor, leave the clinic room but don’t forget to go to the count again. Get your medicine and pay for the extra medicine expense if necessary. Finally, go home and follow the doctor’s instruction to take the medicine.
Everyone should be familiar with the steps above. In my opinion, government should make more efforts to educate the public about how to see a doctor. Government can reach this goal by making a TV ad or by school education. The most importance is we should learn it and memorize it in mind.

Main Text

Everyone has the chance to get sick, so knowing how to go to see a doctor is necessary. Every country has its own rule of seeing a doctor, and the rule in Taiwan is quite unique in some ways.
When it comes to going to see a doctor in Taiwan, there are some important things one has to know. First, there are many types of hospitals and clinics in Taiwan. Patients have many choices, and which hospital or clinic to go depends on the symptom of the patients. Second, Taiwan has the National Health Insurance. This is very different from other countries. With the health insurance, patients can have discount on their medicine expense.
I would like to introduce the steps of going to see a doctor in Taiwan. To begin with, you should have a simple acquaintance with your symptoms whenever you feel under weather. Then you would be able to gauge which hospital or clinic to go, and which doctor to see. After that, make an appointment with the doctor by phone and go to the hospital waiting for your turn. It is especially important to be on time. Or the doctor will give your priority to other patients. Besides, before you go out to see the doctor, make sure you have the Health Insurance IC card with you. Enough money is also in demand.
Knowing the details of seeing a doctor not only saves your time but sometimes even save your life. In my opinion, the government should make more efforts to educate the public the steps of seeing a doctor. Also, we should teach our family members as possible.
