Baraka

   Baraka is a very famous movie that made in 1992. It is a very amazing movie after people watched it people will start to consider about their life. Baraka's director was traveling around 14 countries in order to take those amazing picture, in this movie they don not have people's conversation and they do not have any dialogue, but they could see a lot things from expression in their eyes. Baraka is one of the most famous movie during 20 century.
   One of the most famous scene in this movie is the green grassland and there was a big monkey. He looks very relax and the scene was very beautiful the most significant one is all the  grassland looks very nature there was no people live they have nature lack and nature grass. This scene reminds me nature is very beautiful, we need to protect our environment in order to keep those beauty.   

  There was another picture which shows a lot people walking around the street, i was thinking when  i watching that movie those people looks really busy but probably they never thinking about why they are s busy and what kind of life they was respected. 

  Baraka is one of my favorite movie. it do not have the same form as the traditional movie it just use picture and short radios and combine them together make it has a new vision, it very good and cool movie i really enjoy watching that movie

letter to my parents

Dear Dad and Mom,

        How are you?  I have a good news for you, i get a new American boyfriend, he is a very nice guy, i know, when you saw my letter you will be angry with me, because you think i am too young, it is not a good time to have an boyfriend and you might be think i spend lots time with him, and do not have time to study. To be honest, i spend a lot of time with him, but we spend a lot time on teach each other, i learned a lot from him. Mon, you know i am not good at physics, i was get an F in high-school, now i am in university, i still need to learn it. I was get an D on my first exam, but after he taught me i get 90% so far, which is an A, so you see my grades are not bad after i got an boyfriend even better than before.  You might also think we have totally different culture it really hard to communicate, it is true, in the begging  it  is hard but you sent me here because you want me to learn American culture, so this is a very good opportunity to learn from him so do not worry about me.  I think he is very nice guy when you see him you will like him and i can improve my English quicker than before !
         Thank you Mom and Dad, have a good day

Analyzing an Argument

Nicole Felton, (April 19. 2011 ) Hippie Health: Music-our favorite therapy. Daily titan
Felton think  listen to music can make people more health. His argument is very strong.  He said it may not cure cancer or AIDS, but is have a positive impact on your well-being. (par.2). He also said that " Whether you listen to rap, rock, country, pop or Justin Bieber, the universal feeling people get from music is happiness."(par.6) His opinion try to convince people listen to music actually is a very good thing, in the 3rd paragraph, he mention "  resulting in the possible loss of weight. This does not mean that listening to music will make you lose 10 pounds, although that would be amazing. This simply means that music may cause relaxation of the heart or blood vessels, which will decrease." He has a strong argument about how does music affect human's body. His premises are accurate, and the argument is valid, and the conclusion is true.

what do i learned from wikipedia

        From Wikipedia, we can find sources easily and there are many languages you may use when you confused with English , you may change to your own language to help you to understand. Sometimes , when you could not find a good topic, you may just tape a key word that you interested in that area. such as coffee, then there are many different topics will comes out from Wikipedia, like where is coffee comes from, how many different styles of coffee in the wold and how to make coffee? they are all good topics can help you to define your own topic. also in the end of the souse, Wikipedia also offer many different souses you may need for your research paper in the future.

        However, sometimes you need  be-careful because some professor may not like the sources  from Wikipedia, as this time, you have to use it wisely, you may get some idea from Wikipedia, but do not use is as a source.

        Now, i am still working on my topic,i did not make a decision yet,   i will use Wikipedia to help me find a good topic, i want to make sure the topic have a lot of sources and many people are interested in my topic. it is hard but i will figure it out.  If anyone have a good topic for me please help me, tank you a lot !

spring plan

      I do not have plan yet. However, i think the only thing for sure is i will not study,  I will use this period to travel. Maybe i will go to Florida if the air ticket not too expensive, because the harry port playground is really attractive to me, and there is a Disney wold,  when i go to Disney land I do not want to go back home, so i can imagine how wonderful Disney wold will be? 
       Another choice for me to go to Hawaii,  if the hotel will  not too expensive. Hawaii is the place i really want to go since i am a child, i like Hawaii's weather, beaches, culture.  
       If i can not go to either Florida or Hawaii , i will go to Mexico because comparing with the U.S.A, Consumption is very low in Mexico.The reason why i choose to go to Mexico, because my friend used to lived in Mexico, he told me in Mexico there are many delicious restaurant, and it is not only delicious but also very cheap. and in addition, there are many beaches, those are really different with California. the most significant reason for me to go to Mexico is there are many good, sweet, fresh fruits, i really like fruits so i really want to try those fruit some of them maybe i never see it before so i really want to find out by myself.
     I still cannot make decision, but i think i will have a wonderful vocation, i hope all you can have fun during your vocation. 

if animals could talk

                                If my pet could talk, i want to ask him, are you willing to be my pet? 

        I have a  3 months years old male chinchilla. Chinchilla is similar like a rabbit, but it is cutter than rabbit. Chinchilla is known as feather which is the most soft feather in the wold.  He is my favorite pet.  I  try me best to treat him better. He has a long tail, and two big eyes  which makes him looks very cute.  he is also very smart, he always can find food by himself.
       I really like him, i really want to play with him, sometimes i could not waiting for finished my class.  However, sometimes i am  wondering , did he really wants to stay in my house and "play" with me?  did he really wants to be my pet or he really wants to go outside and find his own life? Because i cannot find a big house for him made it like a nature forest, i just can buy a bigger side cage for him, he is trying to escape from that cage every day, i can see almost everywhere have his tooth's print. So i think sometimes he really do not wants to stay in that cage. and when i play with him, i cannot understand his body language, i just know when i give him food he looks very happy and eat it immediately. and as that time i even can train him help me to carry my pen, and give it to me.  
       I really wonder, did he really like this live environment or did he really wants freedom back and try to  survival by himself. i think if he could talk this is the only question i really want to know.

the best advice i have given to my friend

    I do not really remember what is the best advice i have given to my friend before. However, i am a person who loves give advice to friends either from my life experiences or studying experiences.Because i really do not want to my friend have the same problem as me. Recently i just get a good advice for my friend which is how to pass TOEFL
    Now i lived in an apartment which is close to school, there are many international students living there. We are willing to share experiences that we learned from either own experience or learned from others.Recently, one of my friend ask me, how can you pass TOEFL easily?  I told him. First of all. I did not pass TOEFL easily, TOEFL is one of the most hard text for international student. so do I. it is really hard. However, my suggestion for him is , try to be think it deeply. do not only scratch on the surface. you have to really think about how to improve your English. or not just ask yourself why i can't pass the TOEFL or why my friend can pass TOEFL easily. To be honest when you feel really sad and try to ask  yourself why my friend can pass TOEFL but i cannot, while when you thinking of that the time already pass away, finally you waste time. you can keep encourage yourself my friend can pass TOEFL, either do i, the only thing i have to do is try to hard working, and you will pass it.

   I took TOEFL IBT for 4 times. do not you think that amazing. yes it is. sometimes i am very guilty to tell my friend. but in order to help them i am willing to tell them.  when i first took the text. i think i can pass it .but i did not. second time i think i will pass it ,but i did not. third time i think i will completely pass it. however i did not. finally i think, oh, i f  i cannot pass this time i have to try next time, fortunately i pass it. i am very happy. so based on my own experience  hard working is the key for pass the TOEFL test anything else do not really help you for pass TOEFL test. so try to think about how to improve your English to instead of  thinking why did other people pass it but i cannot.

Optimistic Quote

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."

This qtoue is baically talking about that different people have different points of view. Pessimists always view the wrold negatively, they are upset with their life. Every time a pessimist faces the problem, he or she will give up or evade the difficulty. In other word, perssimist usually cannot face problems and neither succeed. However, a optimist has totally different point of view when he or she faces a dfficulty. Optimist has positive way of thinking, and they can handle any situation or problem in a better way. For example, pessimist sees the glass is half empty but optimist sees the glass is half full!

Personaly, I believe I am a pessimist. I actually faced lots of difficult situations when I came to the US. It was a big challenge to me. My emotion could be affect by any small fators such as bad grades or friends. When I faced a problem, I became upset and emotional. I could not really solve problems myself. when I felt upset, I just wanted to hide myself. So, I knew exactly what pessimists felt when they got difficult problems. According to my history professor that "people are driven by emotion!!!", and I deeply understand it becasue I am the one that he is talking about".

I know it is terrible to be a pessimist because I see things in a negative way. For example, every time I decide to do something. I will think about "what if I fail?" or "Can I do it?", I always doubt myself. That's say, everytime I take exams, even I review all night long or even I am 100% fully prepare. I still doubt that I could fail the test or I must miss some important details. So, the results always bad because I know I worry too much.

It is really bad to be a pessimist. I hope I can change to be an optimist in the future because my life is full of suffering right now!
 

compare Amercian food and Chinese food

        Before i came to the USA, i thought American are only eat fast food, however now i know there are a lot of different kinds food, such as American BBQ which is  very delicious. but i discovered the most important thing when i get here  is the fast food from China is totally different than American. we have similar style of hamburger but tastes is very different.
        In my country which is China, we have long history, especially for food history, ancient Chinese are really enjoy cooking. and we also known as The Chinese feast.   many people knows the Chinese feast it was the most delicious food in old China.
       My Chinese friend always ask me ,what do we have to eat when we go to American? If they go to California, I will suggest my friends to eat IN and OUT, which is my favorite fast food in the US.  not only because of it is very delicious, but also the most healthy fast food, they choose fresh meat and vegetables to make their food. and the most significant reason to eat IN and OUT is you can only find it in California! other places you will never find it, it isn't a good reason for eat IN and OUT?

friends

       In China, we have a  proverb which is the called" same group of people are always get together, and some group of animals are always get together." I think all my friends have similar personality and similar value with me, so we can understand others more and also easy to find a topic that we are willing to talk about it.      
when i first time meet a person i do not really want to talk a lot because of we do not know each other, it was really hard to find an appropriate topic to talk. i do not know what is she or he likes, when i pick up a topic i was thinking it this topic ok to talk or he or she does not want to talk about it, so i have to waiting for someone to talk first, to be honest, i am an emotional person so i really do not want to hurt someone, for example i do not willing to ask personal question until they tell me about it, so do i , i do not like someone talk to me about how's going with you and your boyfriend, or what did you do last night? or how many boy friend do you have?  so when i make friend i want to find someone have same personality, more kind and more helpful! if we have an appointment i do not like my friend show up late or just never show up there are my value so, i need all my friend have same value as me, not too much, just show up on time, do not always use bad words, i do not mean never use it to be honest, i use bad words sometimes, but not always!  be kind be nice, and the most important thing is to be honest to me, that all i my respect for my friends

Compare the U.S road and my own country

The USA have a lot free way, high way. They are really good because they give us a lot convenience.while as the same time there are many cars as we known there are bad traffic and so crowded. however the worst is crazy drivers.
One day, i was driving on my way to go back home, i was going straight, and there is a car on my right hand side the drivers did not see me when i was going to pass by him, he suddenly drive out that line and rush to my car i was shocked and my legs did not work and turning to stiff. i was so angry. but fortunate i was not get hurt! i can not image how crazy he is , he was driving really fast and he did not feel sorry about me, i really want to talk to that gay " do you know how to drive? " he may be know i am really angry and he running away!

There are many convenient free ways and high ways but there are also too many crazy drivers. I really like my country even though we do not have that much free way we only have high way but we do not have that much crazy drivers , i hope some day  there will no crazy drivers or decreased !

my favorite song

            I love to  listen  to music, I spend a lot time to listen to music. i love romantic songs, while i do not really have the one which is my best favorite. but i have a favorite singer.
           My favorite singer is Zhang Langyin. She is a very popular singer in China. She known as high pitched and beautiful  voice. She comes from a  popular music show.   I love her beautiful voice, and her high pitch is also amazing!
          She was as an lead singer for a famous film which called" mask". I really like that song, it is not a happy song, and also make me want to cry but sometimes famous song not only known as make people feel happy but also make people feel sad!
          In addition, i was learn singing for 4 years, she is also my idol who i always want to follow. I always listen to her album, and learn from her! I really enjoy spent time to listen to music.

Weather

To be honest, there are many kinds of weather that i enjoyed. I really like the weather in Southern California, becuase I hate rain and snow. I enjoy warm and sunny weather with a little bit wind. I like to take a walk in this kind of weather, because I feel really relax and happy.I do not have any pressure or concern when i walking in a warm and windy weather. I will be able to breath slow and relax myself.

However, in my country, i rarely enjoy this kind of weather, because qingdao is a city where nearby the sea. The weather is always cold and freezing, especially in the winter. The temperature drops below 0 degree and snow everyday. I really do not like to walk in snow days, it is uncomfortable.

So, I kind of fall in love with the weather in California. There is no much rain here and sunny everyday. I may enjoy the weather everyday. I feel satisfied and happy in California.

Old Fears

Hi, everyone. For me, I used to be afraid of speaking in front of people like giving a speech or introduce myself. I believe i was borned to be extremely shy, because everytime teachers asked to give a presentation or speech. I felt extremely nervous. As a result, I always failed to speak in front of people.
However, I took human communication class last semester. It was a really chanlleneged class to me, becuase we were required to give 2 formal speeches in front of students. I could not take it, but I told myself if I failed this time, I would not be able to overcome my fear. Everytime before speech, I preacticed whole night long in order to make it perfect. I gave myself confidence to stand in frond of American stduents. Fortunately, I successfully presented each speech fulently and smoothly. I actually got a good grade in the end.
Now, I am able to give a speech in public or do a presentation alone. I believe through practices, I have overcome my fear. When I face my fears, I practice for thousabd times and give myself more confidence. Then, I may be able to overcome my fears.
