Recently, I've read a short story named <what the water feels like to the fishes>.

I have to say that is really an amazing short story, the author shows his talented language skill.

I am just a beginner english student, and just start to reading some english articles. However, I really feel the charming part of english language indeedly.

I used to think that chinese language is the most amazing language (no offensive , i know each language is amazing). Finally, I GOT SHOCKED because of amazing english language because of this short story.

I MEAN that i've read a lot of english articles, but never get such kind of feeling that english is amazing!

This feeling inspired me to read more english story! HEY, we all need something to inspire us, right!

I HOPE the passion of reading english story never stop!

A small single storey cottage

Amongst a friendly community and in a peaceful village the property oozes with magic. Ideal for a restorer to take it into a small home. The basement is suitable for living space, if one wants to use the ground floor to a shop. The owner can build another storey to take in the stunning see view across the 2 bays and soak up the breathtaking sunsets of the island.

Rural house

The west facing abode is located in a corner at the end of a quiet street with no passing traffic. This has a very charming atmosphere and with the wave of magic can be easily renovated and extended. And there is also a access to water cistern and fenced gardern area.

Seafront house

This property is perfectly located on the bayside of the main town. Extensions are permittable. Extend up and out to take advantage of more than 200 square metres building area allocated and build a glorious holiday house.

2012 is coming, I don't know if it is the end of the global or not, anyway, it's coming.

Sometime, I think ending is not a bad thing, oppositely, it can help us to relieve from all confusions.

I am saying that it doesn't mean that there is a suecide in my mind. Life is both beautiful and hard.

I think all I want to express is that I am not afraid of death.

For me, sometimes, I feel to be anxiety and bored about my life.

My assistant asked me what kind of faith are supporting you to study all the time? To be honest, I just feel boring while the process of studying something help me to lessen this passive emotion.

2012, I am still like a flying without any sense of direction. Flying here and there, can't find my direction and don't where I will be tomorrow.

Is that life? An ordinary person's life?

Recently, I was learning some philosophy knowledge in English club. Trying to learn more complex knowledge in english is a good way to improve our english. As my teacher said, "I believe that all of you can ask and answer normal questions easily, I just want to teach more difficult things to you for pushing you to express some complicated and mysterious ideas." I really appreciate his theory and method of teaching!

However, I have to admit that Philosophy is too difficult to understand for me who is a person don't understand its fundamental knowledge in my native language! What a shame!

In despit of facing such a obstacle, I still decide to have a try to communicate with my teacher. I think , at least, I can give my true opinion based on the limited information I get. That's enough, I am not expert but a student after all.

Ok, it seems that I've speak too much and distract from my main idea. Today, i want to share with my true opinions about the key ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche---the will to power.

If we search online to pay a little bit attention on the key ideas of Friedrich Neizsche(a genius of philogist,philosopher,the source of inspiration for later famous philolopher. Also an excellent composer, poet.)  we will know that ther are 5 key theory during his whole study life, Death of God, Perspectivism, Ubermensch(supermen), eternal recurrence,will to power.

Just consider about this names of his theories, I am so interested in "will to power", especially, after i know the chinese traslation of Will of power. I don't know why, I just think its chinese name sounds so powerful!

So, i want to share with my ideas about this theory of Neizsche's. hmmm, before I talk about it, I want to quote some sentences from WIKIPEDIA which are about his theory 'will to power ' first for classifying some main ideas.

"In a wide sense of a term, the will to power is a more important element than perssure for adaptaion or survival. "

"In later forms, his concept of will to power applies to all living things, suggesting that adaptation and struggle to survive is a secondary drive in the evolution of animals, less important than the desire to expand one's power"

"His fully developed concept of will to power as 'the element from which desire both the quantitative difference of related forces and tehe quality that devolves into each force in this relation' revealing the will to power as 'principle of synthesis of forces'."

Do not think of history as Hegel did, do not think of economy as Max did. Neizsche seems to want to talk about a whole and fundamental thing. For me, it's hard to say which one is better, I've no idea about how much influence that theories of Neizsche's on the human's development.

 However, for certain angle, Max's theory was used to guide some people to make their common dream come true during a period. And as Max's teacher, Hegel's theory seemly inspired Max and influented Max's idea. On the other hand, regard to practicality of Neizsche's theory, I don't know where it is at least.

I know the achievements of philosohper cannot be envaluated by that way, but, I am just an ordinary person as well as understand little philosophy. I think the first step for me to learn philosophy is asking questions and saying some foolish ideas in my mind.

In fact, after reading the simple explaination of "will to power", my opinion incline to doubt that. I prefer believing that the pressure of adaptation and struggle of survive is the drive in the evolution of animals. Moreover, I don't agree that warfare can be as an example to prove "will to power" theory. I think "will to power" isn't the drive of evolution, is the source of destruction.

I don't know the core content and persuasive examples and evidences of "will to power", and I would love to read more and realize about his theory later.
Maybe, at that time, I will overthrow my now ideas. hehe!

Have you ever suffered a kind of phobia? For instance, fear of height (acrophobia) , afraid of encloses (claustrophbia)... ...The symptoms of phobias could make some unpleasant physical acts including that your stomach is tied up in knots, your palm is clammy, your hands is shaking... ...Even sometimes, you might be panicking!

I've totally no idea why people can overreact so seriouly at first. However, I am trying to dig my potential phobias which may not be very apperently. And, guess what!

I am amazing to find I also have a few sorts of phobia which are just not out of control. I'm afraid of rats extremely, when I was young, I saw some rats standing on the path which access to my home. I could feel my blood run cold and I couldn't move anymore though a lot of adults crossed that path easily. And even, I grow up to become a adult, I will scream loudly and feel my blood up when I see a rat! I never think that is a phobia because there rarely have rat around my living place and almost forget it! hmmm, but is it sort of phobia? I am not sure of it~~

Except of fearing of rats, I also cannot tolerate that touching something of mine without washing hands, especially from outside. When I was in university, that hatred of that was more severe. Now, it tend to easier for me to bear it when I have to bear.

At this time, I am not wonderring that why people overreact because of some certain things or situations. They seems to be irrational, as well as have their own resons. Is it possible that using some methods to relieve or eliminate phobias without taking any pills?

There some ideas I could figure out!

First of all, we have to face it and try to realize the root cause of phobia.

second, it is better to do some plan of overcoming, don't rush into it just move small steps.

thirdly, screw up courage and further our effort to step a big step. That's a turning point, we have to breakthrough all the fear. It is too difficult to overcome it at the first, so don't be depressed if it is fail .

Anyway, looking for a partner to practise and overcome a phobia will be a better way though that's not easy.

In the bottom of our heart, I supposed that we all have some sorts of phobias, maybe not serious enough to become a problem in our life, or maybe we haven't meet the stimulus seriously.

I DON'T KNOW, I am just assuming this theory.

In conclusion, give your hands to the people who is sufferring phobias around you, not just ignore them or laugh at them. They don't need sympath, but help.

The analytic [ˌænəˈlitik] tradition 分析传统

Idealism is the epistemological doctrine that nothing can be directly known outside of the minds of thinking beings. Or in an alternative stronger form, it is the metaphysical doctrine that nothing exists apart from minds and the "contents" of minds. In modern Western philosophy, the epistemological doctrine begins as a core tenet of Descartes—that what is in the mind is known more reliably than what is known through the senses. The first prominent modern Western idealist in the metaphysical sense was George Berkeley. Berkeley argued^[75] that there is no deep distinction between mental states, such as feeling pain, and the ideas about so-called "external" things, that appear to us through the senses. There is no real distinction, in this view, between certain sensations of heat and light that we experience, which lead us to believe in the external existence of a fire, and the fire itself. Those sensations are all there is to fire. Berkeley expressed this with the Latin formula esse est percipi: "to be is to be perceived". In this view the opinion, "strangely prevailing upon men", that houses, mountains, and rivers have an existence independent of their perception by a thinking being is false.

Forms of idealism were prevalent in philosophy from the 18th century to the early 20th century. Transcendental idealism, advocated by Immanuel Kant, is the view that there are limits on what can be understood, since there is much that cannot be brought under the conditions of objective judgment. Kant wrote his Critique of Pure Reason (1781–1787) in an attempt to reconcile the conflicting approaches of rationalism and empiricism, and to establish a new groundwork for studying metaphysics. Kant's intention with this work was to look at what we know and then consider what must be true about it, as a logical consequence of the way we know it. One major theme was that there are fundamental features of reality that escape our direct knowledge because of the natural limits of the human faculties.^[76] Although Kant held that objective knowledge of the world required the mind to impose a conceptual or categorical framework on the stream of pure sensory data—a framework including space and time themselves—he maintained that things-in-themselves existed independently of our perceptions and judgments; he was therefore not an idealist in any simple sense. Indeed, Kant's account of things-in-themselves is both controversial and highly complex. Continuing his work, Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Friedrich Schelling dispensed with belief in the independent existence of the world, and created a thoroughgoing idealist philosophy.

The most notable work of this German idealism was G. W. F. Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, of 1807. Hegel admitted his ideas were not new, but that all the previous philosophies had been incomplete. His goal was to correctly finish their job. Hegel asserts that the twin aims of philosophy are to account for the contradictions apparent in human experience (which arise, for instance, out of the supposed contradictions between "being" and "not being"), and also simultaneously to resolve and preserve these contradictions by showing their compatibility at a higher level of examination ("being" and "not being" are resolved with "becoming"). This program of acceptance and reconciliation of contradictions is known as the "Hegelian dialectic". Philosophers in the Hegelian tradition include Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach, who coined the term projection as pertaining to our inability to recognize anything in the external world without projecting qualities of ourselves upon those things; Karl Marx; Friedrich Engels; and the British idealists, notably T. H. Green, J. M. E. McTaggart and F. H. Bradley.

Few 20th century philosophers have embraced idealism. However, quite a few have embraced Hegelian dialectic. Immanuel Kant's "Copernican Turn" also remains an important philosophical concept today.

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.It is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.The word "philosophy" comes from the Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophia), which literally means "love of wisdom".

Branches of philosophy

The following branches are the main areas of study:

• Metaphysics  [ˌmetəˈfiziks]形而上学，玄学
• Epistemology [ipistiˈmɔlədʒi] n.认识论(对知识本质的研究)
• Ethics[ˈeθiks] n.伦理学
• Political philosophy
• Aesthetics 美学
• Logic

Other major fields within philosophy include

• Philosophy of language
• Philosophy of law (more commonly called Jurisprudence)
• Philosophy of mind
• Philosophy of religion
• Philosophy of science

Many academic subjects have a philosophy, for example, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of logic, the philosophy of law, and the philosophy of history. In addition, a range of academic subjects have emerged to deal with areas that historically were the subject of philosophy. These include physics, anthropology, and psychology.

By accident, i knew a new website.

And driving by curiosity, I click this link http://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/author/lizwalter2/

To my surprise, I love this website because that it has a lot of blogs with different topics help us to memorize words or phrases.

So, I share with you guys!

Hope you will love it too!

Recently, I have been trying to write a essay about my travel in English. Unfortunately, it is a little bit difficult for me to describe scenery by using exact english vocabulary.

hmmm, I am confused... ... When I watched a movie which narrative described natural scenery easily and naturally, I suddently figured out the method to improve my english writing, in particularly, the scenery describing!

Read and learn the movie's script!! Then, I act right now!

The first Movie Scripts I want to share with you all is <YOU'VE GOT MAIL> which was acted by TOM HANKS，MEG RYAN. Of course, this is romantic love story and have a happy ending.

I will quote some parts of the script to share with you for hoping to improve our english by this way. Just have a try!

INTRODUCTION

An updating of 1940's The Shop Around the Corner to the Internet Age, You've Got Mail follows the squabbling（quarrel） and romance of two competing book retailers on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) awakens to the latest comments by her newspaper columnist boyfriend Frank Navasky (Greg Kinnear) on how computers are ushering in the fall of civilization. Once she has made quite sure Frank has left for the day, Kathleen starts her computer and goes on-line. She doesn't want Frank to know that she's exchanging e-mails with a man she's never met, Joe Fox (Tom Hanks). He is also keeping this a secret from his own girlfriend, publishing executive Patricia Eden (Parker Posey). Kathleen and Joe avoid discussing anything that might reveal their identities to each other, keeping to such subjects as pets, the changing seasons, and the charm of New York. They know each other only by their Internet handles "Shopgirl" and "NY152".

Joe is an important executive in his family's business, Fox & Sons, a bookstore chain. Currently, he is readying a new "Superstore" (like a large Borders or Barnes & Noble). He has a bit of trouble attending to work rather than musing on Shopgirl's latest e-mail, but friend and subordinate Kevin (Dave Chappelle) finally gets him to focus. Joe says that although the locals won't think they want a big chain store, he knows he can seduce them with discount prices and cappuccino. Joe decides it's time to put up signs announcing that the Superstore is coming.

Meanwhile, Kathleen starts a new day at her charming little children's bookstore, "The Shop Around the Corner", a long-time local landmark. She has doubts about her on-line relationship and discusses with cyber-savvy employee Christina (Heather Burns) whether it counts as cheating on Frank. Ultimately, she decides there's no real problem because "It's nothing."

At Fox Books corporate HQ, Joe reports on the new store's progress and potential competition (including The Shop Around the Corner) to his father (Dabney Coleman) and grandfather (John Randolph). The latter revels that Kathleen's store was founded by her mother, with whom he had briefly exchanged letters and found her "enchanting". Another piece of news: Joe's father is planning to marry his taste-challenged girlfriend Gillian (Cara Seymour), the mother of his four-year old son Matt (Jeffrey Scaperrotta). This becomes another item to share in an e-mail to Shopgirl, who responds with anecdotes of her own.

Kathleen's employees are dismayed to see the "Fox Books Superstore coming soon" sign on a building only half a block from The Shop Around the Corner. However, Kathleen is confident that her store's vastly superior service will prevent this from damaging her business. She ignores the ominous words from staffer George (Steve Zahn), "But they discount." Boyfriend Frank is quite supportive of Kathleen's optimistic assessment, but entirely oblivious to her uncertainties about whether running the store is really all she wants to do in her life. These are sentiments she can only share with NY152.

One day, Joe is left in charge of his half-brother Matt and his Aunt Annabel (Hallee Hirsh), who is Joe's grandfather's ten-year-old daughter. In search of ways to keep them entertained, he takes them to a reading at The Shop Around the Corner, where he finally meets Kathleen in person. Joe is determined not to spoil a pleasant encounter by revealing that he's her competitor. The kids seem determined to spill the beans (Matt shows off the only word he can spell - FOX), but Joe laughs this off, manages to change the subject, and leaves with his secret intact. Still unknown to either of them is the bigger secret that they are each other's e-mail correspondents.

The Superstore finally opens and is a big hit. The effect on Kathleen's sales is immediate and sharp. She claims this is just because the Fox store is new and that things will soon be back to normal, but she seems to be trying to convince herself. She and Frank attend an author friend's party, where she runs into Joe. He tries to preserve his anonymity, but is soon unmasked. His earlier attempts at secrecy now completely backfire, as Kathleen is convinced that Joe was spying on her. Her accusations, and her apparent contempt for big stores like Joe's, provoke him to belittle her shop as "insignificant but full of its own virtue." Late that night, Joe has trouble sleeping because he regrets some of the nasty things he said to Kathleen, but he can only reveal this to his confidante, Shopgirl. She admires his ability to come up with deflating comments on the spot, something she's never been able to do. From this point on, relations between Kathleen and Joe become icy, and they usually avoid acknowledging each other when they happen to meet, which occurs surprisingly often.

After further discussion with longtime friend and store bookkeeper Birdie (Jean Stapleton), Kathleen admits that the problems at her store aren't going to solve themselves, and writes to NY152 for advice. Since she won't reveal to him that she's in the book business, he gives her general business advice summed up in the Godfather quote "Go to the mattresses". He explains this as meaning "Fight to the death" and also gives her his mantra "It's not personal, it's business". Kathleen accepts this advice and starts an anti-Fox Books campaign, including media coverage, a neighborhood rally, and picketing at the Superstore. This, particularly Kathleen's TV interview where she twists some of his words to suit her purposes, is aggravating to Joe, but ultimately doesn't have any impact on her sales problem.

Finally, Kathleen decides that to get the support she needs in this crisis, she should meet NY152 in person. The on-line friends, still not exchanging names, arrange to meet at Cafe Lalo. Joe brings Kevin along and has him check out who's there (with the agreed upon identifier, a book with a rose). Kevin recognizes Kathleen from her TV interview and lets Joe know. Resenting that Shopgirl turns out to be someone he dislikes, he threatens to leave, but finally enters the cafe. However, rather than revealing that he's NY152, he pretends he has again merely bumped into her. He makes cynical comments about her book, Pride and Prejudice, and the fact that someone has apparently stood her up. As their arguing progresses, Kathleen finally comes up with a dig that succeeds in hurting Joe, "You are nothing but a suit". He leaves, and at first seems unwilling to continue their on-line exchanges. After he reads an e-mail expressing how she values NY152, plus her regrets for being cruel to the unpleasant person who was there instead of him, he resumes the correspondence.

Changes in the characters' lives quickly follow. Kathleen decides to close her store. She and Frank admit they aren't in love, and part amicably. Joe has an epiphany on a stuck elevator and leaves Patricia, moving to his boat. Although it involves no immediate financial hardship, the store closing is painful for Kathleen, as it ends a connection she had to her mother. Joe's dad breaks up with Gillian, who has started a relationship with Matt's nanny (Katie Finneran). While discussing this with Joe, he mocks the notion of ever finding "the one person who fills you with true joy" - at which Joe appears to come to a realization.

Still not revealing that he's NY152, Joe makes a concerted effort to become friends with Kathleen. He brings her flowers when she has a cold and accepts her criticism of his "It's not personal, it's business" philosophy. When she reveals that she only knows the man she was expecting at Cafe Lalo from e-mail, he encourages her to meet him. Joe gently stops Kathleen as she's about to make a crack he knows she'll later regret, and they are both surprised by the intimacy of the moment. On following days, he manages to spend more time with her, showing that he can be amusing and supportive. Kathleen mentions that she is making progress as a children's author and that NY152 had given her the idea to try. One day, she tells Joe that she in finally going to meet NY152 later that afternoon. Joe expresses his regrets about the hostility at the beginning of their relationship, and says if it hadn't been for this, he would have asked her out "for as long as we both shall live". Kathleen is moved, but has to leave for her rendezvous. This time there are no tricks, and when she sees Joe and realizes what this means, she tells him "I wanted it to be you." They kiss - a bit awkwardly at first, but then with conviction.

Have you ever been to a Southern city of China? If the answer is no, I highly recommend you to go there and see the Southern water cities' beautiful scenery.

They are really amazing!

I've been to the 4 cities for almost 5 days, my travel calendar is a little hurry because my limited budget and my sister's short holiday though we really want to stay there for a long time.

Anyway, I still enjoy my travel very much!

Oh, I forgot to tell you that we were free walker not take the package tour for making our travelling time be more flexible. OK, let's begin my travel story！ ：）

The frist city we visited was WuXi which was the second-tier city in china.

I never expecte that WuXi is a so clean, flourishing city because that it is a second-tier city in china.

The first sight of this city was very impressive- clear indicator sign, clean street, wide road, friendly people and many famous and popular brands were introduced... ...

I felt comfortable and relaxed when I stood in that city. That's really a good start, right?

The first stop we planed to visit is Giant Buddha of Ling Mountain, one of the AAAAA lever nature reserve.I would rather describe that place magnificent than be beautiful though there are a lot of spectacular mountains around and really wonderful natural surroundings. However, the Giant Buddaha and the splendid buddhistic constructions are the most impressive for me!

The second stop was YUAN TOU ZHU ( TAI lake natural reserve, the second largest fresh water lake)That wind and large lake cannot see the limited, and this reserve is too large to visit over all.

We also visited a small island there, it was continuous greens and everything looks so peaceful.

I will continue to share my travel later, please to be expected! :)

taling about animals:

dog: affetionate, noisy, friendly, dirty,intelligent

cat: not as friendly as dog, independent, quiet,clean

cute little bird: beautiful,clean, small

turtle: clean, small, intelligent

talking about music:

would you be interested in me helping you to buy one？

 I really would like your help, i know almost nothing about jazz.

how much time can you find to help me?

talking about job:

did you know there is a position for account manager opening up at my company?

set up the interview (arrange a interview)

Do you think I am in with a better chance now?

I did some work shadowing a top account manager when i was at university.(shadow, n :a person, especially in industry, who follows someone else while they are at work in order to learn about that person's job ; shadow, v: follow closely)

fit you perfectly

sent you CV, at least.

Legal english:

my landlord refused to give me my security deposit.

have you tried to settle the matter informally.

you could take the dispute to Small Claims Court.

if you could prove that stereo was broken before you moved in, it will be worth filing a Small Claim action.

you need to fill out a claim form and pay a filing fee.

at this points, you'll have to make sure your landlord has actual notice of the claim you're bringing.

you won't have a jury,this "judge" may in fact be a lawyer serving as a voluntary arbitrator.

you have to produce witness to testify on your behalf.

you can uaually introduce your original documents like at a regular trial as long as you sent copies to your landlord far enough in advance

HMM, let me see, how to start my bolg will be more attractive! hehe

Maybe telling a story as a preface?

Long long time ago, there were a little girl like to raise pets, she uesed to raise France snail, small duck, cute chicken, even sparrow. But she was not a good breeder at all, all the pets she had ever raised all died. What a pity!

After all the failures of trying to raise a pet up, the girl hated pets. She didn't want to a pet anymore until she grew up to became an adult.

However, time is a good medicine and life always offer a lot of chances for us to renew your decisions.

When she moved to a new house to live independently, there was a litter of streetcat babies live in her balcony. How amazing thing for her! They are so lovely and lively! From then on, she started to help mother cat to feed them because she worried it cannot find enough foods to feed its babies and the babies cannot be uptook enough nutrient for good growth.

Gradually, she had a idea to have a own cat as pet. She was so surprised of this idea from her mind!

"Am I SERIOUS to raise a pet?!" she wondering.

Some smart readers maybe know I AM THE GIRL in the story. hehe

I don't know if I mean to want a pet because I am afraid of feeding them unproperly cause their death. That's so horrible!

How about share your experience with your lovely pets? Let me more about pets and the stories between your pets and you?

Looking forward ~~~ ")

You will never know how wonderful today for me !

In the morning, MAVERICKS won their first champin of NBA finals! How amazing it is !

Finally, their dream come true after more than 13 years! They deserve it becuase of their hard-work, perseverance! It is a absolutely exhilarating moment for all MARVERICKERS!

And, dirk, who is the leader of this team, also deserve the MVP! Let all the doubts from whatever go away! He deserve to be respected and admired! He is one of the greates basketball player in this world without any doubt!

Cheer for it! Celebrate for it! Shout for it!

And another wonderful thing for me, it's from my class, my english class!

I found my fighting will today! Please glad for me to find it, you know, it is not a easy thing for us after a long no target, no dream life when we grew up and had to work to repeat something everyday!

My teacher helped us to recall our studying time in university, to regain our faith to improve ourselves!

I saw a lot of idealists here, still keeping their dreams and chasing them all the time! Never give up!

Sometimes, I thought life maybe like a NBA game, we have dream first and chase it for making it true.

But, we lost again and again, it seems that we can never gonna win. Then, maybe somebody not only lost their game but dream itself either. What a pity when we chose to give up! Even we never consider if we give up or not carfully, we have already made a choise in our life. We don't know and we just lost our dream. Afterwards, we go on our life without dream and passion. We forget our dream because it is impossible.

Like Marvericks, when they are failure of most of the NBA games, when they were beaten by other strong teams, when they were suffering tough time in playoffs, when they experienced a long 13 failing years~~~ Nobody expected them would be the winner but they still had a strong faith to be the winner!

They may not be the strongest or the fastest team, but they are the one who have the biggest heart to win the finals!

Like me, I am not afaid of others doubt me, but I am so scared that I don't believe myself either!

I ecourage myself to chase my dream all the time, though there are so many opposite opinions.

They call me idealist to tell me I just live in a dream world, not the reality.

I don't know, how long I could persist in chasing my dream, if I finally become a totally loser~~

I think 13 years is a deadline~  haha, I should have a try, I think, after all we only have one life.

my dear friends!!

I just know a website (www.idealist.org) ,the same with my name:)

if you are interested in international volunteering work, you will not disappoint to check this website！

there are also a lot of meaningful articles ~~ today, I read an article named ARE YOU A BUREAUCRACT?

This article cause me to reflect myself if I am a bureaucract without being aware of ?

Anyway, highly recommend here!!

gina

Recently, I spent a lot of money on english classes for improving my english efficiently, especially, my oral english.

Due to this such amount of money I put into my english classes, I have to force myself to study harder than before! I am a little stressed out recently, but I also enjoy this kind of feeling I put all my efforts on my target! Like, being painful and pleasant at the same time! So exciting and crazy, right?!

haha, my story isn't over yet by now! please go on reading :)

Through my harder study, I found my english ability is higher than my teacher's expetation. That means the contents of english classes in my now level are easy for me, cannot give me enough knowledges and practises I need. So, I felt a little confused that what should I do for adjusting my position? Should I doubt teacher's judgement?

Anyway, after my struggle, I decided to talk with my english teacher. Maybe like a negotiation in english. It sounds a challenge for me, right?! I know I have to face to my real mind in the bottom of my heart, but cannot be afraid that I might not qualify to do that! I should have a try!

So, I screwed up my courage to make an appointment with my english teacher who was a helpful and friendly. I thought I could ask her for a help to solve my problems!

Finally, my teacher had a conversation with me in a small conference room. I felt a little nerves, but her friendly smile made me feel better after our greeting. Then we talked a lot, such as, my problems in english, ,why a testing teacher decided to put me in my now level, why I felt myself should be in a higher level, what kinds of problems would happened when I moved up the next higher level......and so on.

A lot of questions, a lot of answers, and so many discussions between us! I loved that feeling so much! And the best part for me is I won the recognition of my teacher!! She agreed me to moved up the next level!! How happy I am, you can never imagine it !

HAHA!  I  have a successful negotiation. The most important is my english improved!

This experience is so valuable for me , it make me be more confident! :)

SO, I wrote it down here for memorizing it!

Recently, I have saw a program recalled all the life of Michael Jackson. That program lead audience to recall all the life of Michael from ‘The Jackson 5’ period until his death, from a king on top of the world down to be a criminal who be judged in the court, from a youth example was respected for his wonderful charity to become a controversial person who involved into a scandal of crime for indecency with child ( I do totally not believe that accusation).

No body really know how much pressure and misunderstanding he have suffered, people always only focus on the surface and easy to be at the mercy of misleading informations.

However, it is too late to realise clear all the truth, Michael such a childish ideal genius suffer so much asssulting and unfair judgement that made him sad, alone, confused and impact on his health badly both in the terms of mental or physical.

He used to say' I BELIEVE I'AM ONE OF THE LONELIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD'.

I have not been living the period Michael’s remarkable bright glorious time ,though I also got some information and news about him in my childhood, I used to focus on his strange appearance in terms of failure of plastic surgery. So, I am not interested in him, but I realised that I was totally wrong after finishing reading the book <Michael Jackson  LEGEND,HERO,ICON> recently.

I have been listening his songs, especial <we are the world><heal the world> again and again. In fact, when I was a child, I had listened to his songs and my teacher had taught <heal the world> to us.However, I don’t like other songs except <heal the world>. Recently, I have tried to read the lyrics of his songs and started listening his songs by my heart.

I was SHOCKED and MOVED totally. As such a pure person, Michael Jackson really left so much cherish treasure to this world. Simultaneously, I don’t receive the fact some treacherous people make plots to frame up and to make him break down.

The same with many supporting fans, I can not believe such a pure, ideal, childish person could do anything bad, cruel things, especially, for children! Do not need evidece, he was innocent and the truth is the dirty, dark souls overcome some people’s hearts. I can’t understand why they make this happen, but I know human’s nature has two sides exactly icluding dark and bright……

Maybe I speak too much my personal mind and opinion. I want to finish my article by quoting some sentences in the book <Michael Jackson  LEGEND,HERO,ICON>.

“Michael Jackson’s death left a world in mourning. He was a legend in his own lifetime whose achievements set records that will stand for eternity.

He fused the magic of old Hollywood with the dance movements of the street, and created the music video as we know it. His music touched millions and left an indelible mark on our culture: while his influence on a generation of artists has been immense.

With a life led under the spotlight, controversy courted Michael Jackson and many questions remain unanswered surrounding his life and death, the world celebrates an incredible career spanning forty years that encompased world record-breaking tours,albums and singles, and charitable acts that had an impact on millions.Michael Jackson the man has gone too soon, but in this tribute to the crowned KING OF POP, we remember the music that will last forever.”

As we known, human get massive knowledges especial in medicine yield from animal experiments. Such as the findings about vaccines, antibiotics,etc. It seems that animal experiments are necessary for all of us human, whilst some people argue that using animals in scientific experiments is cruel and unnecessary. This topic is really hot, and it worth us discussing further. 

Let's see the supporters' reasons, first. People who support to use animals in experiments think the ethic of animal experiments is ambiguous and this kind of experiments take great advantages to human lifes. Scientists claimed that there is nothing amateurish or careless about animal testing and most amenities in our daily life are base on the results from animal researchs. I do believe that the scientists will try their best to ease animal's pain and uncomfortable by professional way with professional attitudes. Though people suppose the creatures that nature makes are equal, in certain case, we have to admit human life is more valuable than the rats in laboratory.

On the down side of animal experiments, to a certain extent, using animals as testing objects is really cruel though it is necessary. In fact, the reason why it is necessary is because of advantages for human. We human have broken the natural rules.Further, we sacrifice other creatures' lifes (whatever how small, weak they are, they are also creatures in this world like us.) to test for ourselves. That's really cruel without any excuse. Besides, there are still a lot of amateur conditions in different facilities and things look very bad for animals. Those are not tolerated, and make more people angry with animal experiments!

In my opinion, scientific research is necessary, as well as animal's life and feeling deserve to  be cared by people. Perfect situation is that scientists invent some advanced technology to test without pain or uncomfort. If it cannot be come true, at least, scientists should be more professional towards the poor animals.

Recently, I have seen <the big bang theory> ,a  American drama.

I really love this drama and all the 'scientists'  in it. Though, these scientists always call themselves nerd and express that they are pale, not handsome, not poplular for women......I just ignore those problems and think those are their own styles are different from normal person while are more special and cute.

But, today, I suddently recall some scenes of conversation between my friends with me many years ago, when I have been seeing the season 2 episode 12, the 'scientist' said 'we are all pathetic, creepy and can't get girls, that's why we fight wobots.'

One conversation about 'what do you want to do in the future', my friend told me he would be a scientific researcher without any hestitation. That made me surprised that there were so many choices and I was confused which was better for me to choose, but he was go straight to choose.'Why you know what you will do so definitely?' 'Otherwise, what could I do except of scientific research? I am not sociable, glib, handsome'.

Anther conversation, I complaited that I hated to be a girl. My friend( the other one not the one I mentioned before)said did you really want to be a boy, even like me? short, ugly boy? Would you want to transfer yourself a lovely, beautiful, clever to a boy like me? I had no word to say. I never think about these problems, but always focus on the gender, especially, the advantages of male had. Afterwards, this friend of mine became a doctor.

At that time, I was too young to realise the real feelings in their hearts. Maybe they also had the similar feelings like scientists' in drama, they were pathetic, creepy and girls didn't like them. Recalling what they had ever said to me, I could feel that they were self-contempt for their not good look and a little bit weird charasteristic. I was so regretful not to encorage them and told them they were wonderful because of their smart brain, kind heart.

Peoples always say we shouldn't judge a person by appearance. But we cannot carry it out because of human nature of pleasing for beauty. At least, we can pay more attantion and try to understand their more. They won't feel pathetic,creepy becauce of having a lot of friends around them.

Now,these two friends of mine are all scientific researchers on the fields of medicine and maths respectively. I am so proud of them,  and bless them for happiness.

With satisfying the explosive demands from modern society, scientists and technicians make their all efforts for inventing or developing advanced technologies. In fact, countries need advanced productivity instead of backward productivity for accelabrating their society development. Netherless, as the backward productivity, manual traditional skills and the way of life die out. In view of this situation, we have to confront the issues, is it poitless to try and keep the traditional skills or is it necessary to reserve these traditional skills and even develop them?

In my point, the answer of the former one is no, and yes is the latter one's reply.

As I know, most people will agree with me, while small part of opponents may hold the argument that it is the destiney of the backward issues, are insteaded of by the stronger and more advanced ones and gradually disapprear in the history stage, and that's the nature's law. I admit that nature have some laws, but most of them are broken by human, including these advanced technologies that we think are beneficial but nature must have serious doubt. Then, I don't argue so much about advanced technologies, after all we all need them so much and their benefit for us is apparently,  whereas just want to emphasize my point, traditional skills are not just skill for us and some of them mean cultures or customs, others are even some kind of art.

For example, kniting sweater is a traditional skill for woman and the generation of people as my mother almost master this skill. I rememberred my mother could knit many varieties of sweaters for me and every sweater is put into her caring and love. However, the generation of people like me, hardly find someone who can knit sweater, because it is easy for us to buy some clothes in proper prices. The advanced machines help to reduce the costs of clothes by making more producitively. It is more convenient but lack of caring ,love. Fortunately, some modern girls start to learn this traditional skill as an art. I suppose the educational department should build some traditional skill courses for providing chances for students realise and learn them.

All in all, some traditional skills should be looked as heritages to reserve and develope. I do believe that we are able to develope the technologies and keep our traditional skills at the same time. Traditional skills are still of great worth for our society and there are a lof of wisdom in them.
