Helpful exercises

In the wring class, we did a special exercise which has never done in EAP2 class. We exchanged our drafts each other and we read our partner’s draft. After it we wrote two stars and a wish as a general comment to the draft. This editing experience really helped us a lot. Before I came to Canada, I had also done this exercise in my country in Chinese class. The articles I wrote in Chinese has improved greatly because we also exchanged our drafts to classmates. Though the essay we wrote now is in English, the basic purpose of this exercise is the same as before. Through reading my partner’s essay, I can easily get the basic idea what he wanted to state. The techniques he used can be known and then maybe I can use the skills of writing he used in this essay into my next essay. Everyone has own advantages and disadvantages. The advantages he owns may not exist in my essay so I can learn a lot advantages to improve myself. We must praise our partners’ excellences in the comments and this can also help them to maintain these. The disadvantages we found in partners’ essay are the urgent aspects they really need to correct. This can make them avoid these disadvantages in the following essays. In addition, maybe I can not find the disadvantages of my writing but my partner finds them, this will be extremely helpful. Thus, this editing exercise can be a good way to help me and I will make great process on learning English.

new route

I cannot wait for the new semester and now the wonderful class is on the way!! This is the first week of my EAP3 class~ everything here is very fresh and excited! I met a lot of people here. Some of them were my classmates and also my good friends and the rest of them are new here whom I am unfamiliar with. But I always feel very excited because I can make much more friends and learn various cultures from different countries!! What’s more, they are all friendly and we are like a big united family. I can feel the wonderful atmosphere of study and all of my fellow students are all thirst for knowledge, of course so am I~~. hah…I also met two different new teachers. They are both knowledgeable and humorous. They all made us laugh and feel comfortable during class time. This also made me full of passion to learn. Among these four months here, I am sure I can learn much more from them!!! The very obvious difference between EAP2 and EAP3 that I can feel is that at the very beginning of EAP3, we received unbelievably much homework…~~… that meant I should do my best and pay my whole attention to this class. In class, I can learn how to use academic English expertly and some useful methods in learning. All of these are deeper than what I have leant in EAP2. After finishing it, I think my English will be improved greatly and academic English can be used flexibly in my undergraduate study.

cartoon and animation

In my childhood, the best thing I liked to do was staying at home and watching lots of cartoons. Half of my childhood kept being companied by the cartoon and animation. There are lots of classical works remaining in my memory which most came from our country, the USA, and Japan. Those from our country mainly showed the traditional brilliant culture and history, the precious and noble moral character in order to educate the children, for example 《The magic pen and Ma Liang》,《The snowboy》; those from the USA often displayed the humor to please the public or satirize some kinds of peple and lives, for instance《Tom and Jerry》,《Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck》; those from Japan generally expressed the great love, the spirits of fight and competition to encourage the public include the children to make progress continuously, such as 《Saint Seiya》,《SlamDunk》and so on. A thousand thanks for all the hardworking staff of the cartoon and animation which had bestowed me a rich and colourful childhood. Now though I don’t watch cartoon anymore, when the great memory come out, I feel I am still very young and the life is nicer.

KOF

There was a popular game called " The King of Fighters " during my childhood. A lot of naughty boys swarmed into the rooms of electronic games after school and the majority of them chose to play the series of KOF. Some of the boys just wanted to kill time or look for the excitement and entertainment while the other of them were high skilled and good at controlling all of the roles in the game and each of them had the ambition to be the best player. What these boys were pursuing was to conquer all his opponents. The game was originally designed from a popular comic with the same name and it showed both the artistic charm of fighting and the bloody violence. In the society, all of us are walking on the battleground. Yes, we are fighters equipped with various arms composed of our intelligence, courage, health and others. Like those ambitious boys, what we are wondering all the time is that how to conquer others and overcome the difficulties. In our world, someone who is endowed with great success can be called the king of fighters. I also want to become the king of fighters not only in games but also in the society.

automobile...

When it refers to automobiles, I think almost every man will get excited. For women, autos may be just a kind of vehicles which can take people to somewhere instead of bicycles or walk. However, automobile are not only symbolize the vehicle, but also stand for men.
Automobile is the symbol of power, action, and passion. All these personalities are owned by men.
I like cars, especially sports car. When I was very little, the toys of mine were almost cars. I liked to put them in a line and push them one by one…hah…hah….it was my pleasure in my childhood. And now, automobiles became one of my hobbies. I like watching F1 and WRC games because I like listening to the sound of the engine and seeing the speed of the sports cars.
My favorite brand of car is Ferrari. There is a black horse on his brand and I think it means power. I like the classical color of Ferrari-Red. When I see it, I can feel the flowing of my red blood in my body and I can feel the passion of the car. I have a dream. That is I will own my own Ferrari in the future….hah…..

exercising

Yesterday I went to university’s gym to do some exercises. This was the first time I went to that gym. In my country, there were not enough gyms in the universities. It would also cost u lots of money. But here, it is different, thought we paid some fee at the very beginning of this semester, it is really very cheap.
What shocked me was that there were many instruments, like runner, tubbing, sit-up and so on. I was a little excited. I was doing exercises for about 1 hour. What’s more, I met a staff from my workplace. He was strong enough to fight with me…hah..hah…he was so kind that he taught me how to use these instruments and do exercises correctly. We talked a lot about our workplace and our boss…:-p
I have not done the exercises for a long time and I miss the gym which is near my home, in China. But now, I did not feel alone. I can go to the gym with my classmates who are also my best friends. Also we can make more friends when we are in the gym. How wonderful it will be!
As known to all, everybody will get an ache in the muscle after doing exercise, so will I. now I can hardly move my body…..
