On Protecting Forests

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

  u32558534124034152352gp22.jpgIs it necessary to protect forest? Definitely, the answer is YES, because forests are the basis for all lives.   What will be a world like without forests?   Firstly, the entire land surface will be exposed under the sun, ground will be burning and people may get sun burnt. What’s more, most of the water on land cannot be held. They may flow into seas or rise up into the sky in the form of steam. In that case, the whole world will suffer from drought. Even worse, animals can’t find food to eat and the starvation will finally come to human beings.

   From those terrible images, we can see no one can survive without forest. Actually it’s nonsense for me to reason why we should protect forests. Nearly every body knows the importance. But there are still some ones destroying forest deliberately for money. Always, the sceneries are terrible.

   What do we need to do? To protect the forests, or to prevent human beings? Maybe it’s wiser to say that they are just the same thing. I think we really need to think over this matter. There are ones who always complain about bad inviroment but they themselves are polluters at the same time.

courage

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Today I read a passage in the magazine called “college students”. It is written by a Chinese student who is having a further education in Australia. And I am deeply impressed by this brave girl and her story. She comes from a rural area in China, but she is strong and always fights against the fate. She earns her education fee by herself, but every night she has to stay up late to study in order not to be fallen behind by others. Once she was involved in a robbery, but she didn’t submit to that robber. On the contrary, she fought with that strong man. And finally, she was hurt and had a lot of blood. The doctor said even a man couldn’t persist such a long time and it was a miracle. But she said: “I kept telling myself: I can’t die today! I can’t die today! I just can’t die today! Not here! Not in Australia!”

I am really moved by this girl, and her spirit. I also want to go abroad, but I was worrying about that I will feel lonely and what should I do if I can’t catch with others. Comparing to her, I am a coward, but I hope from now on, I will succeed. God bless me

the playground

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

I needed to write something about a place which I was familiar with, but during one hour of sitting at the desk, I got nothing. Actually, I couldn’t find a place where I could put pen to paper. Being tormented by this, I put on my NIKE RUNNER and went downstairs to run. Suddenly, an idea dawned on me: the playground!The playground, which has 400 meters track and less than 1,000 seats, is not very big, but it is a union to link all the students and teachers together. Every morning, when I come to the playground with the flag of our English Corner at 6:30, the playground has already been a sea of joyfulness. At the entrance of the playground, there are many elder women dancing to the music. They are so energetic that a lot of young people join in them. Their various dances even attract some foreigners to learn from them. Look at the western corner of the playground, you will feel pressure if you are a student. Because there are always many students read books. I believe if the laziest student sees this scene, he will never dare to get up late in the morning. Beside these students who are reading is our English Corner which is held by the Student Union of our department. Every member of the group is enthusiastic and talkative. Hopefully more students will join us.There is a football patch situated in the middle of the playground. The grass is cut neatly, which provides a convenience for these football players. It seems that this football patch is boys’ paradise, because no matter in the morning, afternoon, or evening, you can always watch their game. These boys’ playing football on the green grass makes a vivid picture. In the northern part of the playground, there are some fitness equipments. Comparing with dancing with elder women, the elder men prefer to stay here. They often play Taichichuan and sword or make good use of these equipments. Some of them will bring their birds here…The playground in the morning is vigorous, while it shows another scene at night, peacefully and harmoniously. People usually have a walk on the playground after supper. Some students who don’t have classes at night will play badminton in the light. There are also some people who keep running like me for an inspiration…If the playground in the morning is a boy who is full of vitality, the playground in the evening should be a gentle girl. no matter it’s a boy or a girl, it is always my favorite place.

Hide and Seek by John Polson

Monday, October 29th, 2007

  “Charlie, I’m coming. Where are you?”, Emily(Fanning) says, as she is playing the game Hide and Seek with her imaginary friend–Charlie. Craziness and split personality are filled into the plot.

  u23410154633004152600gp8.jpg Unlike other thrillers, Hide and Seek reserved the fact to the last few minutes and made audience follow the seemingly reasonable answer to the suspense, only to find their reasoning totally turned over at last.

    The film begins with the death of Alison Callaway(Amy Irving), Emily’s mother. Fanning is deeply shocked on seeing her mother’s suicide. Her father, a child psychologist, David Callaway(De Niro), decides to take her to a suburban house to cure her mental desease, which seems to be caused by the accident of her mother. u38344633933601039583gp0.jpgAfter they move into that house, Fanning acts in a very creepy way and refuses every method her father tried to engage her with others. More scaringly, she starts a friendship with an imaginary friend. From time to time, the horrible scene of her mother’s death reappears in the new house. It appears to be little Fanning’s revenge towards her father.u2196700894886920361gp40.jpg Meanwhile, Niro seems to be a reaaly tolerant father by cleaning everything up without scolding Fanning. But she insists that all these things are done by Charlie.

   As the plot moves on, indicates begin to reveal themselves. Muddy shoes and unexpected butterfly powder on palm all suggest the split personality of Niro.u2744719963396290897gp22.jpg But it’s hard of audience to notice those information the first time they appear. When it comes to the painful reflection of Niro between his personalities of Davi andCharlie, things turned out to be cleared up and astonishing. This unexpected, surprising and twisted ending is made more worth thinking by exposing it under our nose.

   Hide and Seek is a successful suspense movie. Both of the two main actors have done a terrific job. De Niro is a highly talented and mature actor, capable of handling all the psycho movements and tense atmosphere. Fanning is unpredictably skillful as so young an actress. She has made a creepy teen girl into life. Both the wonderful perforlmances of the actors and the twisting plot are to credit in the success of the movie.

pride and prejudice

Thursday, October 25th, 2007
Today, I have read “pride and prejudice”, which takes me two days to finish it, although it is a simplified version. I like the main characters, although sometimes I feel anxious at their shyness to love. Darcy, an unmarried handsome man with a large fortune but very pride and coldness; Elizabeth, a clever beautiful woman but very poor. At first, they don’t like each other. But after experiencing many things, they felt their love. However,
Elizabeth doesn’t show her feelings at all. Luckily, Darcy is brave enough to express his love to Elizabeth and proposes her without minding the inferiority of
Elizabeth’s social position. I like this man gradually. For his
Elizabeth, for his love, he conquers many things, including his pride and selfish. It’s an valuable behavior in that times. And
Elizabeth also conquered her prejudice against Darcy. They get married at last and have a good ending. The author describes the details of reaction between Darcy and Elizabeth, and I think they are a cute couple.

kniting

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I have never thought one day I could be sitting quietly and knitting, and for a man! I even shocked myself. I am afraid of knitting, although I can sew my clothes perfectly and be good at the embroidery. But frankly speaking, I am a traditional girl, and I think if a girl wants to be a good wife and mother, she must be able of knitting. So I begin to learn knitting from my roommates.At first I was very clumsy, and I even didn’t know how to hold the needles. Thanks for my roommate’s patience, I finally mastered the key point. And next step would depend on myself. After a fighting between scarf and me, my first handmade scarf was born. Hopefully my boyfriend will like it.

The Rocket Is Heading Towards the Moon

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

   At 18:05 tonight, China launched the Chang’e NO.1 satellite into sky. Millions Chinese people were sitting in front of televisions, watching, worrying, and cheering with the progress. I am among the numbers.

   The countdown was overwhelmingly exciting. When the rocket left the ground, people in dorms, canteens, and anywhere the broadcast could be heard on campus, all burst into cheer and applause. At that moment, I could feel the strong patriotism we have in common. The nationalism is so touchable that it felt like we were a big family.

   The rocket is now operating successfully. It is said there hasn’t been any country succeeding the launch-to-moon project in a one-off experiment. Then, it is China’s time! And I believe, the Chinese will prove to the whole world that China is the country full of miracles~!

New Life

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

It seems that I am not very lucky these days. A lot of things, studies, work…except of love. No wonder people say if a person loses in gambling, he will succeed in love. But unfortunately, I don’t like it very much. For me, the entrepreneur is always most important. So these days I am gloomy, and I even lose heart to study. I kept watching movies, trying to avoid the unhappiness. But one day, one of my teachers referred Deng Xiaoping in one class, and that really inspires me.
He said Deng’s diplomatic discipline was “to keep in low profile and do contribution”, the Chinese translation was “韬光养晦”. I was impressed deeply. Although it was not the first time for me of hearing the Chinese version, I realized I had never understood it completely. “low profile” is difficult for me, because everyday and every moment I am always active. Many people think it is an advantage of me, but I don’t think so. It is the route of my failure. I am proud of my family, my studies, and my contribution, and the critical thing is that I am always in high pitch. I want everyone to know me as a successful girl. In other word, I am not modest at all. Besides, I refuse to learn from others who in my mind are not better than me. To keep in low profile makes me think of ducks which are swim peacefully on the surface of water but their feet keep moving to go forward under the water. What a duck!In one word ,from now on, learn from ducks!

tiredness

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

These two weeks are totally busy and miserable for me … Every night we eight girls gather on 21st floor to practice our dance for our performance–the last performance in our college life. Therefore, everyone spares no effort to make it perfect, you can’t imagine how tired we are. We can’t go to bed until twelve o’clock in the midnight. For me, it’s deliciously tired, because I love our dance, I love our team, I love these girls. Next week, we will hold a contest of knowledge. As the minister of students’ union, I am responsible for it naturally. Not until this moment, I begin to realize how boring and time-consuming to prepare for it. My brain is tensed, because so many details should be taken into consideration; My eyes is strained, because I look at the computer everyday; My heart is desperate, because I dare not face the reality. But it maybe the last activity I hold in students’ union, so I will try my best. Next term, to be the chairman or to be retired. Perhaps there are so many things rest with me these days, I often lose my temper this week. What’s more, I really want to say “you are a big whore” when I am angry with sb. I am almost shocked by myself. How can I have this kind of desire to say such rude words? Oh, my God! And when that pig annoyed me, I didn’t say anything, but when I turned back, there was a word leapt from my mouth “fuck”. Oh, Jesus!! I can’t forgive myself indeed! I am sure if my mother hears what I have said, she will definitely faint! God bless me, let everything be fine!
