My personality Traits

My personality traits:  Modest, quiet, independent, optimistic, sensitive

I was a quiet, modest child when I was in elementary school. I was a leader in my class, and my parents and teacher always praised me. I was an obedient child from my birth, quiet and modest by nature. From elementary school until now, I lived at a school dormitory, where I learned to do housework by myself.  When I was a six-year-old child, I took an airplane by myself.  These experiences fostered my independent trait.  My optimism and sensitivity developed after elementary school.
I lived with my grandparents before I went to middle school.  That was the happiest time of my life. Though my grandparents could not teach me much from textbooks, they taught me to be an optimistic, sensitive person. I believed I could do better than other children of my age.
After I finished kindergarten, I moved to Nanjing which is a big city in China with my aunt. Because my aunt was busy with her business, nobody took care of me. I felt lonely and lost in that period. I believe I am sensitive now because I had a bad experience as a teenager.  I moved to Beijing to live with my mother after two years. I spent my teenage years until now in Beijing. My parents divorced when I was fourteen years old, and I seldom saw my father after that.  I seldom felt my father’s love. To be honest, my parents’ divorce did not have a big influence me; it just let me become more sensitive, without a sense of security.  I always stayed at school, so I became more independent.  That gave me the confidence to go to study abroad. I knew that I could take care of myself.
I cannot say that I am more like my mother or father because I didn’t grow up with either one.  I spent most of my life with my grandparents and aunt.
From my experience, I believe it is better for a child to stay with her parents (mother and father).  It is the best way to grow. I miss my grandmother; she had a big influence on my life.  In China, we have this expression: “Men at their birth, are naturally good. If there is no teaching, the nature will deteriorate.  However, to feed without teaching, is the parent's fault.”  I agree with this idea. People are naturally good when at birth. The difference is nurture. Nurture determines the way people work and live. I believe this is determined by people’s life environment and their parents.

Pre-Journal-Chinese one child policy

Think of time when you were keenlu aware of institutional injustice---an action, law,or rejulation that was legally in the right but that you felt was  wrong.The first thing come to my mind is Chinese One Child Policy.

In order to control the national population, the one-child policy has been carried out for a long time in Chia. It is undeniable that it has achieved good effects. However, it brings some social problem. For example, it makes aging population and "Dind family" more serious. In one word, like a double-edged sword, this policy has inevitably triggered several problems for children and parents, as well as the whole society. Therefore, I think it's time for China to cancel this policy gradually.

Firstly, China's population has been controled after years of implementation of the policy. And most people have realized the importance of birth control for a better life. On the control, the birth control policy make the proportion of aging people rise at an unstoppable rate. Therefore, it is time to cancel birth control policy to remit aging of population. Secondly, the one-child policy has revealed lots of disadvantages. Growing up with no brother or sister, the child feels lonely and isolated, not knowing how to communicate with others. Moreover, the only child in the familiy is likely to be spoiled by too much devoted love from their parents and grandparents. Therefore, they may be selfish, capricious and disobliging in their daily life.

In brief, we can conclude that the one-child policy is inappropriate to modern China's situation, and it has already had many negative effects on the children's growth. So it's really the high time for us to take a second look at the policy.

Chinese SAT

June,7 and 8  is the day of Chinese SAT.The College Entrance Examination, or commonly known as Gaokao, is an academic examination held annually in the mainland of our country. This examination is a prerequisite for entrance into almost all higher education institutions at the undergraduate level. It is usually taken by students in their last year of senior school, although there have been no age restrictions since 2001.

College Entrance Examination is one of the biggest events in China, because it may change millions of students and families' lives. The number of participants reached its peak to 10.5 millions in 2008 and this year, the numbers drop to 9.15 millions. Study abroad and employment pressure are the two main reasons of the decrease. In China, there are hot discussions about this exam. People think that it's unfair to determine one's faith just by an exam, while others think that under the current circumstance, there are no other better ways. After year after year's try, some universities and colleges find more ways to recruit, and independent recruitment is the most popular. However, no matter how it will change in the future, working hard is the key to get success in study.

Foreigners study Chinese

In my Business law class, my friend named Larry, he is studying Chinese now.On TV programs, we can see many foreigners can speak Chinese fluently and sing songs well. Or, walking on the street, we may see a foreigner talking with friends in fluent Chinese. And a lot of Confucius Institutes has been built arond the globe. Indeed, Chinese is more popular around the world than before, and the population speaking Chinese is on the rise. Some people argue that this phenomenon is good for the development of the language and the communication between countries, while others doubt it. As for me, I prefer to the former.

With the Chinese-speaking population becoming larger and larger, Chinese is endowed with greater vitality, which is of great importance to the survival and development of a language. With constant change of time, more new words and phrase from other languages are added to Chinese, which greatly enriches Chinese. What's more, the wide use of Chinese can introduce real Chinese culture to the world so that people from other nations can gain a better and further understanding of China. Since language and culture are closely related, it's impossible to learn a language without learning its culture. Once knowing a nation's culture, the understanding of that nation would be deeper and the barriers would be eliminated gradually.

From the discussions above, with the progressing of globalization, Chinese has been widely recognized and learned. It's a good way to broadcast our nation's culture. However, in view of this situation, we can not be to optimistic, because with the deepening of communication, something bad can be brought to our language, too. Therefore, we should be cautious to this phenomenon.

The Importance of Self-Confidence

People say that self-confidence is half of the success that can bring you courage to stick to what you do. Without self-confidence, one can not do well in anything. Self-confidence is of great importance and value to a person.
Firstly, self-confidence enables us to have the ambition of being successful. Only when you have the ambition to be successful, can you be successful eventually. Secondly, once we gain self-confidence, we will possess the courage and strength to overcome the setbacks and difficulties. With self-confidence, no one and nothing can stop you to success.Thirdly, with self-confidence we may accomplish something which seems to be impossible previously. No great thing is easy for us, therefore we should hold the idea that anything is possible. We should, or have to trust in ourselves.
In short, self-confidence is the spiritual pillar of a person as well as the inherent power, which is of great importance and value to a person.

Smile

People always say that smile is the most beautiful person card. I strongly agree with them. Smile likes the sunshine that can bring warmth to people and make people happy. When you are happy, you will smile subconsciously, because a good mood brings smile to your face. But, you also should smile when you are upset, because smile might bring you confidence, courage so that cheer yourself up.

Smiling shows good mood and positive attitude to life, so that those people who always smile can attract the others easily, because people like to build relationship with smiling ones. Moreover, smiling shows sincereness and confidence. No matter to yourself or others, they both important. Besides, when you smile to the world, the world is smiling at you. Therefore, keep smiling and show you best to the world.

Indulgent children is bad for them

In China nowadays, most families have only one child, who gets more and more attention and love from their parents. Parent always try their best to meet the needs of the child because most of the time they are too busy with their work to stay with the only child. Then more and more parents tend to say "yes" to most of their children's demand as a method to make up for the lack of care. However, it's not a blessing to always say "yes" to children.

Indulgence from parents is very likely to throw bad influence on their children. For one thing, the only child of a family has difficulty distinguishing right and wrong. They used to get "yes" from others. Therefore, once they are refused, they will feel angry because in their mind, nobody can say "no" to them. Now, there are many bad events that youngsters hurt or kill others just because they are refused. For another thing, children will form the habit of getting something for nothing. They take everything they get for granted with no gratitude. They have formed the view that their parents have the duty to buy everything for them.Finally, most of the only children are selfish. Being the only child in the family, they needn't share anything with other, so usually they don't realize the importance of share.

In short, parent are supposed to take some effective measures to prevent the negative influences of overindulgence on their children, and parents should bear in mind that it's no good to the children's growth if they always say "yes" to them.

it Is Necessary to Attend Training Classes

Nowadays, with the development of the society, it's greatly need the people who master integrated skills, so that there are a growing number of people attend training classes to master more skills to get a good job. However, whether people should attend training classes or not, the answers vary from person to person. As far as I am concerned, it is necessary to attend training classes for the following reasons.

First of all, our society is developing rapidly, and the requirements for jobs have changed gradually. Previously, people can finish their job as long as they master a skill. But now, situations have changed. Computer skill, language ability and knowledge about law are needed for an employer, which helps them go further in their career.

Besides, when we attend the training class, we can meet many people work in other fields. It's a good time for us to know something new about other fields conveniently. And we can get more information about their fields that would be very helpful to our career.

Finally, all of us should hold the idea that it's never too late to learn. Learning is the only way to keep pace with the society and attending training classes may be the most effective way.

From the discussion above, we can conclude that it is necessary and worthwhile for us to attend training classes because of its great importance.

The Importance of Get Up Early

Early rising benefits us in many ways.

First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health. Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly. Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work. Therefore, we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.

The serects powers of time-Pace of time

I like this movie so much!<The serects powers of time>.
You would be surprised. The speed somebody walks says a lot, namely there determination to get some where and the importance they put on something. In this case, the faster people walk, the faster their heart beats, hence the related heart disease along with fast unhealthy meals. The speed somebody eats would again be related to the pace of life. Somebody who has a lot to do would eat fast, walk fast and in general live fast. This isn't the only source that supports that argument.

I am living in Miami,US now, and my homecourty is Beijing, China.The big difference betwwen US & China. The biggest contrast that I see is that the US seems so slow and ....well boring versus life in China Of course, stability, clean air and enforced laws does have its merit but life in the US seems a bit complacent and comfortable for many people.studying outside my home in Beijing, I see people struggling and sacrificing each day to earn perhaps four or five dollars a day. They are not what I would describe as happy (their life is quite hard) but I do see them as hopeful that things will continue to improve for them and their children. Everyone saves saves saves for things like an apartment and a car. They have no where to go but up.
In the US, I sense a feeling of malaise with a bit of insecurity that China and India is fast on the heels of both the US and the EU. There seems to be less options and optimism bout the future.Housing prices are high, fuel costs are skyrocketing, jobs are becoming more service oriented and the source of financial and technology news seems more and more to be outside the US. Athough, people are still well off, there is a feeling that the trend is downward for themselves and their family.

Mixtape of revolution

 The burst of Egyptian revolution seemed unanticipated because Egyptian Politian had been messed up for couple years. However, the rebellion just happened in the period with several pioneers of art. A writer said that any progress of a country must be with a progress of art. Therefore, the rap music regards as another revolution of the Egypt and other Africa or Arab countries. Rappers in those countries say something to expose their unscrupulous government and reveal their creeds and religions. They said they are with the public; however, no leader is with the public. Also, some of these rappers who now are pioneers of the country are asking no more than a rapper which is totally hilarious. Rap could only make audience but not follower; however, both rapper and revolution needs follower to make the progresses.

At War With São Paulo’s Establishment, Black Paint in Hand

The characters that teens never lack are brave and naïve, especially in Brazil. The Author demonstrates that he regards the graffito as a deeper social conflict of Brazil’s have and not have. This may be too exaggerating to explode the true reason. Teens want to have attention and that is it. Teenagers, especially those who admire the gothic life style, love to associate their life with free artist spirit and not-rule lifestyle. It is not a healthy life style to have an unstable style like the guys in the news. Climbing up the skyscraper and drawing the bull shit on the wall is an absolutely immature action of a bunch of teens that yearn for public attentions. The Brazil police should arrest everyone who attends to make the ugly graffiti, and make this city better.

Children's day!

In china,today is children day,when we was young,we very love today we have a holiday,and get away the school.Happiness is the eternal theme for the day in people’s heart.Most parents and children in China is familiar with the saying “Don’t let your kid lose the race from the starting line”. But if the race starts from the every beginning of your life, how much happy time can you enjoy as a memory for your childhood?The race is a incantation for parents, a doom for children and a gospel for tutors, education and training agencies, kindergartens, baby sitters and infant formula importers. The list goes on as the starting line moves faster in parents’ minds from elementary school to kindergarten, infancy and even pregnancy and the process of fertilization.


I remembered that  I was on the subwey in Beijing last year. A boy looks around 7years old with his "erhu"(chinese Guitar) and English book. I believe he took English class in the moring, then he was going to have a "erhu“ class. However, that day was a SATURDAY!

Good To Be a Student

Many students complain that it's difficult to be a student because of the endless classes and examinations. Besides, we spend all our time in study so that we can't do what we really want to do. However, in my opinion, it's good to be a student. Firstly, all we need to worry about is our study. As long as we want, we can study with our whole-heart and then play. Secondly, the pressure of a student is much less than to be a worker. After graduation, many things will change and the world seems so different from what we see in school. Finally, teachers are tolerant and patient. They are likely to teach us what we should do and what we can't do. And, if we make mistakes, teachers will help us correct them patiently. After graduation, few people would do these to us. In short, it's good to be a student although we have endless homework and examinations.

Puertro Rico

I had a tiring spring break last year in Puerto Rico, nine people are not best choice. Every day we found a new hotel. The first night I arrived in Puerto Rico, I won $300 in a casino which was in my hotel.   I just played this game once, but my friend lost $5000 because he gambled every night.  It was crazy and bad.

 

The second day I went to Old San Juan. I like this place! It’s very amazing, beautiful, awesome, and surprising. The view is like a picture. I took lots of pictures, and I sent to my Chinese Facebook. Everybody said they were beautiful. And I sent a postcard to you and my friend, who is in China.

In addition, we took a small plane and went to Vieques Island. The pilot was an older man, and he is looked very kind. To our surprise, he took a photo for my friend who sat near by him in the air. The small plane was just large enough to sit nine people. When wearrived at Vieques Island, we met a nice man who helped us find a hotel. (This is a small island, so we  couldn’t find  any information about hotel in the Internet, so we needed to arrive at the island and find a hotel.)  In the afternoon, we  went canoeing in the sea. I believe this is the most unforgettable memory in my life, because I nearly couldn’t come back ashore. In the beginning, we had fun in this sport. Afterwards, we were exhausted and we were farther and farther from the coast because of waves. Finally, current took us so far away from where we got into the sea, that we couldn’t even see the shoreline . Although we tried our best against the current, it made no sense. Just when I gave up all hope, the lifeguard came! We took the yacht  back to the shore. Ittook 5 minutes！

Also, we went to the second most beautiful beach in the world named Culebra Island. Yes, I agree this beach is beautiful, but it’s not  as beautiful that we expected. (I am very confused that the island doesn’t have enough and better hotels in the second most beautiful beach in the world.)

 

A good life

A good life is a haapy life, but a happy lift does not mean leisure and rest. A good life is a busy life. One will feel bored if one has nothing to do for a long time. You can sleep, listen to music, watch movie, play computer game, dance in the nightclub, have saunnas, play cards, or chat with firends. How would you feel if you are to do these day after day, month agter month, with anxiety and frustration. To be meaning occupied, to have some meaningful task to do, to have a goal to pursue- all this will make a good life or a full life.


I admit that pressure it sometime a bad thing. Too much pressure will ruin health and lower efficiency. One does need leisure and rest. One does need free time. But wrk is essential for a good life. One will be happy to see the work one has accomplished. One will get a sense of fulfilment from such achievement. As the saying goes, life depends goes, life depends on movement. A good life is a life which gives you a lot of movement, alot of activity and a lot of work. A good life is a busy life.

Flavio’s Home

Flavio’s Home was a very interesting but sad story. It spoke of the horrors of poverty that a young twelve years old boy named Flavio had to endure with his family. It amazed me how Flavio I the strength and determination to take care of his family as if he was the father of his home. Flavio never lost hope and always kept a smile on his face even though deep inside he was suffering and almost dying from several illnesses. Thanks to Gordon Parks trip to film Flavio’s family, because it changed Flavio’s family and Gordon’s Park life at the same times. I was thrilled to know that Flavio survived and him and his family was moved to another location with a house in better condition, and also that fact that they were able to have more food on the table. I was sadden by Gordon Parks death, but he lived a nice, talented and successful life.

couples should get married older

I was watching a television show and they were discussing what is the appropriate age that you think a couple should get married. My opinion on that was that I think that getting married at an older age is better because you are more mature, you are more financially stable and you are more responsible. At an older age you are more likely to be mature when getting married. Being more mature when you are married will help your marriage to last long because you and your spouse will be more likely to understand each other in many situations such as an argument other than having to argue. You look at things in a different perspective which helps your relationship. Mature couples trust each other when they are alone rather than to think that your spouse might be doing something wrong. Older couples are more likely to have a stable job already and have less wants to buy. They tend to spend less and save more which will be helpful in the long run if something bad occurs and older couple is more responsible because they know right from wrong and what situations not to get into that was just my opinion on why it is better to get married at an older age.

Should Government pay poor women financial incentives to use birth control

Should Government pay poor women financial incentives to use birth control?
I do not think that government should pay poor women financial incentives to use birth control because they should know before they have sexual intercourse what the consequences our. I think the proposal is just another excuse for poor women to have intercourse. If you want to have intercourse than you have got to be able to pay for the consequences. I think this is such a controversial issue today because many Americans feel that people should be able to get financial issues to use birth control and I just do not agree with that.

My view on Honesty

Honesty is a long-lasting virtue of people and is regarded as the most important quality. People give admiration to those people who are honest, while hate those who often tell lies. However, some people say that in market economy, honesty tends to be less important. But in my point of view, honesty will never be out of date no matter how the situation changes.

Firstly, honesty is always the mainstream in our society and those people who are sincere are respected. On the contrast, the dishonest will be excluded by others. Secondly, no matter in the daily life or in business, people would like to build relationships with the honest. Honesty is the basis of true friendship. In the business, those who make money at the cost of honesty certainly will pay the price in someday. Finally, honesty should become part of our personality that we should treat it as the most valuable fortune of ours. It may not brings you material benefit, but you spirit must be rich.

In short, honesty is an important quality that should deeply root in everyone's heart

I want to be a child

I would like to be a child, I would like to bed early to get up early every day, I want to learn every day, every day I would like to up!
I would like to be a child, I can not be choosy food, I should eat more vegetables, eating sauerkraut, eat less meat and more. I want to drink less milk, coke; I have to eat nutritious, and shall not eat junk food or bad food looks.
I would like to be a child, I can no longer fun, I would like to read good books, watching television less and less exercise and more online. I would like to play games more exercise less; I have to look at valuable, may not look vulgar entertainment plus low vacuum (can drift glance glance to the World Cup, but only to see the first half and the result can be online searching, no, in front of less said the Internet, or access to a knowledgeable person can be asked about the day's news).
I would like to be a child, I can no longer well-behaved, I have to listen to good words, less music, less talk more with our ears. I would like to listen to their elders advocated less; I have to listen to a promotion may not be heard from the right ear or left ear right ear or directly into the left ear disregard blowing from all directions.
I would like to be a child, I will not be able to get good results, if I got good results, 555 ....(` 00 `) I do not have a child again.

baseball game

The baseball game played by the number one ranked Florida Gaters, and 8th ranked Miami Hurricanes marveled many at the twists and turns it brought. The match started at 7p.m at night with a wonderful show of determination from both sides. The crowd supporting Florida became hushed when the catcher, Peter O’Brien from Miami earned them their first inning. Peter O’Brien, who remained as the senior captain of Miami, ensured he had given them advantage over their adversaries. Seen from the Macro sociological perspective, his wearing No.7 costumes that is a  status symbols. In addition, during the game, he also ensured he earned his team a third inning contributing to giving Miami a three-zero lead over Florida. He is a group leader on this baseball team, and this is an achieved status. He is also a role to capable of leading to team get score, to oriented instrumental task.
There is an interesting story, one player in UM with another player in Florida is a twins. ( I don’t know the name of them) The player who works on UM has a two role on this game. First, he is a player to attend the baseball game on home field; he must try his best to get a score. However, he is a brother with his opponent. This is an example to show role conflict, which has two statuses, one is an achieved status as athlete and another is an ascribed status as brother.
In the crowd, Florida fans had been thwarted, but due to the determination and faith they had on their team, continued singing slogans of praises to offer their team support. I could not be follow them as I remained a die-hard fan of UM.
The Florida fans inclusive of me stood up to cheer the Gators when they miraculously exploded to gain eight runs over the fifth and fourth innings. It became the role of Brian Johnson, the Pitcher and the first baseman, Taylor Gushue to score with back-to-back runs in the 4th so as to tie the at three. Then Gushue shocked many by adding his 2nd home run on a 3-run shot. I believe, if not for the constant cheering and support we gave to the Gaters, they would not have risen to take that glorious moment. Therefore, the baseball game like a drama, the ground is like a front stages, different athlete on both team and coach are like multiple role, the letterman’s jacket for athlete is a costumes. And the baseball and whistling sound through rounded lips likes props. However, the audience siting on the bleacher like anther back stages. Even though, Florida got a champion on this baseball game, but in my opinion, they are both winner, they play their role perfectly.

A time I endured a frustrating stituation.

My friend was mentally ill, and went to the hospital last year.

She was crazy. Her mind and words were very strange, and she became hysterical. (Some religions makes people possessed.)

She also said her master supports the world, she supports her master, and we support her, and that if she died, the world would be destroyed. Moreover, she wanted to let about 40 of her friends in Miami accompany her to China to see her master and father after 3 days! She let me and another friend called her friend, but nobody picked up the phone because everyone knows she iwas crazy and they were afraid. She was shouting loudly, so a neighbor called  911. She was crying and shouting. It was pitiful, but we weren't able to help her.
While she  was in the hospital, I visited her every day with my friend. This is the first time I went to this kind of hospital; we needed the police to help us open the elevator door. The patient‘s actions looked very strange. The first day I  was in the hospital, a patient glared at us and said, “Are you Japanese?” It was terrifying.On Saturday, she came out of the hospital. Maybe she was fine.She made friends with a patient in the hospital. Yesterday, she had three phone calls from her friend at the hospital. She said she will go back to China and she is going to Japan to study. I think that is a nice idea for her.

How can you handle the disappointment from the insanity of your friend.

She is in University of Sydney now, it is a nice news I learned. I hope her everthing is Ok.

The first time we went to beach.

We are laughing.

 

 

Anna's family has three girls.They are learning Chinese, Spanish, and Russian. They are learning violin, piano, and swim.

Today, two girls had their annual violin recital which the name is Old Cutler Presbyterian Church. It's located on Old Cutler Road and SW 144 Street.

Each one graduated to the next level. They are professional in the stage like a famous violinist. Parents are sitting in the auditorium, and they are pound of their child. I also was very proud of them. It takes a lot of work to get the graduation song to a level that it passes. They have to memorize and play the song perfectly.  They also have to record the song and have it reviewed by other teachers.I think I was as relieved as they were to finally pass off their songs.

Play a violin is my dream.



Caring home or home ?

I disagree the point that living in caring house is better than living at home for elderly people.For the elderly people, most of them prefer to live at home. They want to see family’s face and smile especially their grandchild. For them, they don’t want to chase reputation and money, the only thing that they want to do is staying at home with their family. This is their greatest happiness. It’s the tradtional for chinese people that all the members of a family live togther.Meanwhile it’s convenient for us to take care of them if they are sick or fall in trouble. If the elderly people come up with proposal that it’s better for them to live in caring house, I think it’s not their true thoughts. They only don’t want to bring trouble for us.
What’s more, the management standard and law about caring house are imperfect in china. Most of the workers in caring house can’t take care of the olders carefully. So if we sent our parents to caring house just because we don’t have enough time to take care of them, maybe they won’t get good carement.So, no matter how busy you are, pls don’t sent your parents to caring house. Give them a home with love and warm even if the home is poor.

Freedom of speech in the United state

I present a group presentation about "Freedom of Speech” today. What is freedom of speach? "freedom of speech" may not appear in China.The roght to think and say what we want without interference from the government.


After I present, I knew the United State is not unprotected every speech.There are three type of speech dictated under first amendment: fully speech, limited protected speech and unprotected speech.
Fully protected speech is speech that the government cannot stop or even put regulations on. For example, political speech falls under this category. The government should not be able to pass any laws forbidding citizens to citizen current administrations.

The second is Limited Protected Speech: Offensive speech only received limited protection in the fact the government cannot stop or forbid the speech, but the government can put limits on the times, places and ways in which it occurs. For example, the law can dictate when offensive language is allowed or not allowed on TV, reserving more offensive speech for when young children would less likely to be exposed to it. Commercial speech or advertising is now limited in that the law declares that promises and claims made about products and services be true. This would explain why you see very tiny print or hear someone speaking terms and conditions quickly at the end of an advertisement.

The third is Unprotected Speech. Some speech although not forbidden by law is not protected at all by the first amendment. Speech that incites danger such as yelling "bomb" when there is no bomb or similarly "help" or "fire" when is not applicable falls under this category. Words that are meant to provoke a normal person to physically fight are not OK. That type of speech includes threats of bodily, financial or emotional harm. Any type of speech that provokes or is intended to overthrow the government is unprotected. Child porn is definitely not a protected form of speech, symbolism or literature. Obscene speech includes anything that is considered awful by a majority of society, including racist commentary and speech that depicts sexual acts which violate local or state laws. The challenge is that although the Bill of Rights protects the ability to speak one's mind, state governments are free to interpret what obscene speech means in that state.

do pop stars deserved high rewards?

It seems that pop stars today enjoy a privileged style of living. Wherever they go, thousands of people turn out to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully-dresses idols. Stars are surrounded by their managers, press-agents, and often by their bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, as stars are news. They must constantly avoid meeting crazy fans, particular teenagers who idolize them. Some people say that stars are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice is incalculable.

It is right that the stars should be paid in this way? It is all very well for people engaged in many other professions to envy the successes and rewards of these stars. However, those who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only he tip of and iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. A man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top/ He knows that years of concentrated efforts may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows that the rewards for successes are very high indeed, and if he achieves tile goal, he certainly earns them.

Student's driving

Nowadays, with the improvement of life’s level and the development of industrial economy, more and more people bought cars for making life more convenient.This phenomenon are spread to colledge. Now many students bought cars only for going to school.People have defferent thoughts about the thing. Some people think this is their private thing. If they have enough money, it’s the freedom for them to buy cars. Others think it’s a behavior of wasting resources.
In my opinion, I agree with the latter.
Firstly, for these students, their main task is study. Usually they live in school. The distance from dormitory to classroom is very short, so it’s not necessary for them to drive to go to school. Secendly,in mordern society, the atmospheric pollution becomes more and more serious, and the carbon dioxide is the main reason. Derease the frequency of driving cars can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide being released greatly. So they should drive less even not driving.
Thirdly, if they drive car in the colledge, it easily form luxury habit for them. They should learn how to save instead of waste.In a word, our colledge student don’t need driving car for going to school.

The two paths in life -- Constructive vs Destructive

Whenever we're facing challenging or difficult situations in life, most probably we would come to a crossroad where we have to choose in between these two paths...

The CONSTRUCTIVE path and the DESTRUCTIVE path.

Choosing to be on the constructive path is to choose to face the challenge or problem heads on as if there is nothing to lose, focusing on doing and achieving things bit by bit. In the end, even if the result does not turn out to be in our favour, we can still be rest assured that it's not all lost as well, because we gain something very precious that even money can't buy -- EXPERIENCE. Even if we do not achieve our intended goal, due to our relentless and sincere efforts, we would still have achieved something else which are equally as meaningful along the journey.

Choosing to be on the destructive path is to choose to give up and avoid facing the challenge or problem once and for all. The whole story ends here. Not only that nothing would be gained, while we thought we would lose nothing, the fact is that we would lose a lot -- lost opportunities, lost courage and lost self-esteem.

Two paths lie ahead of you -- to choose to be CONSTRUCTIVE or to be DESTRUCTIVE -- the choice is yours...

Dictionary

Dictionaries are of great importance and use in study, no matter in Chinese learning or English learning. They are another teachers of us when we need some help. When we meet new words, the dictionary at hand is the best choice to get help. The dictionary will tell us how the word pronounces, what it means and how to compose a phrase or sentence. And it will tell us the words with similar meanings or pronunciations. With the development of dictionaries, there are various types of dictionaries. Electronic dictionaries are the new ones. They are very popular among students, because they are easy to use and carry. But, we should use dictionaries properly and we can't depend on them all the time. Sometimes we needn't look up every new word in dictionary, but to guess its meaning according to the context. Besides, some small dictionaries or electronic dictionaries are not so comprehensive, the authoritative ones are the best.

Cooking

 I was lying when I say cooking is easy.
The worst thing about cooking is you always have to find a way to finish the ingredients you bought. (I think this should be the 2nd worst, the worst is washing!) It is especially tough when you're always cooking for only one or two people.Ingredients in supermarket come in packet. Therefore they're not always packed in your desirable amount. After a meal or two, you ended up with a little bit too much of cabbage, no more mushrooms, a little of lemon etc etc. So what are the ending for the food?They either ended up growing "mushrooms" of their own after sitting in the kitchen for too long...Or, they ended up randomly in your plate, that made your meal looks like a combination breakfast & dinner.But, I think it's still nice to cook, even for a very simple meal. It's healthier, you don't tend to overeat. And it's work of love :)

The butterfly effect

Things will never change hinge on our personal inclinations.This is ture life.

It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world.
——chaos theory


Today I watched a movie named< The butterfly effect>
The story tells about a chap who tries to dictate his own course of life. God doesn't play dice, but he plays it. He has created his own mysteries, miserably.The director's motive is to search for the reasons behind the chaoticity of life. In his eyes, life, in all its forms, remains a drama of unending struggle and conflict.
      
Things around us could not alter as we wish, unless we become the god. Like the film informs that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimate cause a typhoon halfway around the world-the general specific conclusion about the Chaos Theory. Five times, it is that correct digit that Kevin changed the passed periods and tried to fixing all the things around him better, in order to protect friends, lover, his mother, and himself.

On the contrast, the results of change are that he fixed out one thing or one his former false, but caused worse consequences. I still remembered a sentence which Kevin spoken in this film, that if I can create them, I can diminish them. Unfortunately, in the reality world, things are mutual connected, facts are not just facts, are the process of realization, what we have been feel, touch, smell, taste, even thought, all of these are sorts of realization, which embody the reality by interacting between human and subjects of nature.

In my view, the world often plays like a black-hole to absorb human desires, not matter, how minimal are they. Facts are the coldest mirror in the world, the link of casual relationships not only damage the Kevin’s private life, but also collapse her life. The exploring of the self-passed time caused the death of his lover; saving the dog, whereas sacrificing one of childhood friend; getting together with his girl means the next victim is girlfriend’s little brother. It seems like God, the nature laws, determines our destinies at the beginning, before we birthed, it is said of destiny.

In the morning's English class, we dicuss a interesting phenomenon that  professor Victor said some American think Chinese speaking sounds funny, they will laugh cover the mouth what cause they think Chinese pronounce have four tone is funny. Actually , I have never saw any American laugh at Chinese pronounce.
Royce said Chinese pronounce have 4 tones. For example, "ma".For first tone is called level tone,means mama.The second tone is called rising tone,means hemp. Third, is called falling-rasing tone, means horse. Falling tone is fourth tone, mean scold.This is just a little little part of meaning, for every similarypronounce has different meaning, and also have different meaning for one word.
Fascinate Chinese!


I changed my evening's business law class to afternoon. I must have Choice Phobia Disorder.I want to take both class, one of professor is teach more professional knowledge but looks serious, one of professor's class have more fun and easy to get A. Finally, I take a second prefessior.
In the class, I make a friend with Larry. He is a nice guy who father is Italian, mother is Spanish. He is study Chinese now, sounds great. He can talk some easy words and sentences with us, such as :"how are you""you are a good student""thanks" in Chinese. I believe he is a thirst knowledge people. He plans to study a lot! I should study form he!

Chicago! Call me!

I can not believe I was in the Chicago,
I love everything in here.
Tree, building, weather,people,
I love everthing in here.

Last Thanksgiving, I went to Chicago with my friends. We saw a thanksgiving parade in the first. It was a lively parade who performed a kind of  Cartoon characters, they greeted to visitors! Visitors also danced with performer. Finished parade, we hanged out on the downtown, I really like CHICAGO DOWNTOWN very much!!!

How can I descibe this feeling? I love the building. I love people walked hurriedly on the downstreet, I love people wore the long wind coat with an umbrella in the hand. I love the fine drizzling rain fall on the people.
I believe this everthing what I saw is my style, I should belong to here instead of Miami. I told me I will work and live in Chicago one day in the future! This will be True!

I can not spell anymore

The spell-checker is a grand application, it keeps me from committing horrendous and careless inaccuracies but it has made my spelling so much frail.I was scripting a matter telling someone that something was for their convenience. I couldn't spell convenience!

It's not that convenience is an overly straightforward word. My guess, if you asked 10 people how to spell it, or other words like conscience, a momentous number would either err or wouldn't even attempt. That's not the point. The point is I should have known how to spell it but the spell checker has just made my spelling scrawny.

What did I do? I saw the red underline below what was the obviously misspelled and right-clicked to get a list of suggestions on the proper spelling. Sure enough, there in the list was the proper spelling.

First in MDC

The first day in MDC, I was be late 10 minutes because we can not find a parking lot. MDC parking lot is better than UM!!Why we paid to much money it still have small parking lot?
The first class at 8:00, I needed to override this class, I heard this professor is a great professor who is come from Russia? I am not sure, if he is, I can speak a little Russia with him, such as thanks,byebye.

I really hope he could help to sign the override form form!!"Does he will sign it?"I asked me during the class. I must say he is a best English teacher I met, he use the computer slide which is clear to understand and interesting. I believe I could not fall asleep in his class.

Maybe he heard I was praised he, so he signd the override form!How happy it is!
After class, I went to Internation Admission to add a course! The advisor is unfriendly who worked in the internation Admission office, she let me wait 1 hours that just do one minutes stuff! I can not understand why she just let another people came in her office except Chinese.
Finally,I did it with a bad mood.
