Sunday


Today is Sunday,I do not get up so early if there are not something I have to do, I am not accustomed to getting up so early on Sunday because I always think that Sunday is a relaxing day among the week. Last day was Saturday which we used to play and tomorrow is Monday which we start to work or study, so the Sunday is between the Saturday and Monday.If I spend too much time entertainment today,I won't have enough energy to study.
One of my good friends wants to buy computer today, he asked me to help him yesterday and I agreed. Friendship is more important than my sleeping. Even though my Sunday was a tired day I still feel happy, my greatest fun is to try my best to help my friends with all strength.
Today he and I went to Future Shop and walk around. He is hard to make a final decision and I also have little knowledge about this. We had to ask for help from a seller. He was a thin tall guy and was very nice. He told us a lot about the products and told us which one was better. Under his help, my friend bought one eventually.
On the way home, we talked about the plan about we go back to China. We were very excited and were eager to go back to enjoy life and watch Olympic Games in Beijing. What a good plan!!!

hornbill


Several days ago, I read an article about a kind of bird, hornbill, in a magazine. What shocked me most is that a hornbill has only one mate in its life. And if one of the couple unfortunately dies, the other member and its children will kill themselves very fast.
Nowadays, in the campus, you can see lovers wherever you are. They are hanging each other, kissing, saying honey words, which make you feel that they love each other so deeply that they will live with an old age in the following years. However, not long after this, you may most probably see the guy handing another girl’s hand and the girl smiling at another handsome boy. What do you think? They just want to feel the feeling of love and maybe they all feel lonely and then try to find just “partners”. They do not deeply understand the meaning of love.
Though it’s impossible for them to act like two hornbills, at least they can make love more pure. They can stay longer and stick longer with each other. If two persons really love each other very much, they’d have little chance to say goodbye to each other in spite of some unhappy things.
Hornbill, as a kind of bird, is not as advanced as human beings in many ways. But, In terms of love, they take it more seriously than some of the human beings. That’s the difference that we should take into account. And we human being should learn more about love from this bird.

Game in Life


'Game' --a word that becomes famous when NBA the greatest player Jordon once said'I love this game’. And now the word has two meanings i think: competition; game
Just take basketball for example. We all know that basketball is a kind of games, sometimes when you feel boring, you can play it with your friends to killing your time. Yes, it's a game but in the match, it becomes a compitition, because everyone wants to be the champion. First, i want to say: Not everyone can be success, though you may work hard. You know, we can't control the result. Of couse, when we lose, we feel so sad, especially we are called a 'loser’. But don't give up, please! Yes, the past can hurt, but you can't change it. I think you can either run from it or learn from it. Remember when you lose, don’t lose the lesson! A real successful man won't afraid of failure. They think it is wealth and experience. They tell themselves: only if i work a little harder than before and have a good luck, i must be success next time. Maybe they will lose again, but they are always full of self--confidence. So learn from the failure, you can change your way or work harder. In all, when you lose, don’t lose the confidence. Maybe when you want to give up, the success is closing to you. we should enjoy the process, because it is more important than the end.
Secondly, when you lose the game, don’t hate your opponent. Conversely we should be friends with our opponent, so we can know our shortage, and we can do it better next time.
please remember: respect our opponet,because they also work hard and pay attention; during it, consider game as a competition, after it, take it as a game.
When you lose ,say: IT'S JUST A GAME!

WHO AM I??

Maybe you will be surprised at the title.You wonder why I use the title"Who am I?”
Everyone is living on the earth with a unique name,unique character,unique way of living and many other things.But have I ever thought of that it is those make up a real you now?Sometimes it is very hard to understand why and how we react to things happen to us.
Human being is a very complicated animal.Because everyone is living in the society,he or she will inevitably be affected by people lving around him.Not only is his mind affected even changed by others` words and actions,but also his own behaviour can play an important role in affecting others.
Everyone has been receiving education from elementary school to high school.We received the same knowledge taught by teachers.But when we grow up,we gradually change our way in judging and treating things by our own system.
When we are adults,our characters have shaped in the stable form.Our abilities in dealing with things become more and more mature.Each one has his own set of world view.
So if you can know yourself better,it can help you find the flaws in your character,then improve them to make greater achievement by yourself.
So I am thinking how many flaws I have and what are they. Only if I find them, I can improve myself. This is the only way to communicate well with my classmates, co-workers, and friends in my whole life. Nobody can be a perfect person in the world, but anyone can be a excellent person in his or her mind. I am trying.

Lose and Gain in life


How many years can we be alive on this planet? how many times you are really feel happy from your heart during you past till now, and how many times are you satisfied for what you did or you have done? Life is really short, we even do not know when we will die, why we still struggle with those stuff, which make you tired and stress.

I accidently read news today on the internet about a guy whose just 26 years old and died suddenly. Her name is Mo Na, was a journalist in China. She suddenly passed away when she collected information.

See, how sudden the life is! the journalist was just graduated from her university 2 years, she would have a bright future as the way went by if she would alive, but .... Therefore, the only words that we could say are 'life is short and cruel'. we are all human being, we are not evil , not god, we could not change the way how it started and when it finish, but we can make it more meaningful, try to happy everyday.

Friends, I know all of you are great, and have a great ambitions for your future. that is good, however, if you can look back on your past and ask yourself, are you really happy with it, what you did in the past, and take a few minutes to think about the death of our life, and the rule of life, you might have different definition for your life. life should be enjoyed, its not to be stress or hard for you. Enjoy today, that is real life, becasue you dont know you are still alive tomorrow or not.

No Title

first i do not know what i want to talk about...this is just one month left for EAP3 so i am a little excited and also i am a little nervous. why i am excited? Because I will go back to my home country and enjoy the 4 month break!! I miss my parents and my friends so much and I think we can talk a lot for a whole day after I go back. What’s more, I can enjoy the most tasted food in the world in my country. Almost everyday here I dream about those kinds of food. I just eat burgers, pizzas, wraps, chips, steaks here. While in China, we have hundreds and thousands sorts of food and they are all tasted. Although I am very thin now, I will be strong when go back to China. Cuz I want to eat many food everyday. What a expected time!! It is coming!!
What I am nervous about is my study. Although I work on it very hard now, I am still not sure I will pass this course. For listening&speaking and reading, I can still handle them. However, for writing, it is very hard for me and I think for most of my classmates. if i fail in this course, i won't go back to China to enjoy my holiday. bless me and all my classmates!
for now, i do not know what i want to say next. in the recent time, something happened to me. my life has changed since a couple of weeks. I separated with my girl friend and now a new life is waiting for me~~to be honest, i like living alone and having more spare time to do what i like.
Now the main goal for me is to pass the EAP3 and go back to China. When i come back, i will start my undergraduate classes. The university life is waiting for me!!

Four greatest breakthroughs in China




From very little, I have known that China has four greatest breakthroughs: compass, gunpowder, photocopy technique, and papermaking. These four things make me be proud as a Chinese. I will introduce two of these four breakthroughs.
The first breakthrough I want to introduce is compass. Before the invention of the compass, people decided the directions mainly by the sun, the moon, and other celestial bodies, or landmarks such as mountains, stones, and trees. But, these methods had their restrictions: you cannot depend on a celestial body when the weather is bad, for instance, during rain, fog, and overcast days. While using landmarks only work within a small area. The first model of compass occurred in the Warring States Period in old China. It was called “Si Nan”. It was a natural magnet and it was very heavy. That was why people could not use this widely at that period. Gradually, people found the way to make artificial compass and it spread all over the world quickly.
The second one I will introduce is photocopy technique. Nowadays, people use photocopy technique very often. Especially for students and office workers, they use it almost everyday. Before the invention of this technique, the diffuseness of culture mainly depended on handwriting. Hand-writing copy costs lots of time and it was also easy to make some mistakes. A Chinese inventor called Bi Sheng invented this technique. At the very beginning, he carved lots of characters on a big wooden board, then he smeared full of ink on this board, and in the end he put a paper on this board. In this way, the new copy of the characters in the board occurred. This was the origin of the modern photocopy technique.
Here are the pictures of these two breakthroughs and the inventor of printing-Bi Sheng. Enjoy them~
