diary

 This afternoon, we had a nice chat with Segier in our class. Segier is our Business English teacher, he ofen teach us on thursday afternoon.  He told us a lot about his country and his trip. Today the class is
more active because we talk about Chinese things.
  It is unbelieveble Segier know many Chinese history and geograph, he also know the head of state of the founding chairman MAO and  the leader Deng xiaoping who lead  the reform and open policy. He even know the earliest to travel around the world is  Zheng he, a eunuch at ancient Chinese Ming dynasty.
  I am very interested about how can he know so much, so after class,we talk again. He shows us his stydy room, looks like a library! What a brilliant man of wide learning!
  I want to read more book and catch up with him.


  I also have a nice chat with my neighbour, a 12-year-old boy. His family immigrants from Turkey to the UK, he has two little sisters and the younger one is very beatiful and shy, just 3-year-old. We like play with them, and especially we like chat with him. His a pretty boy .Very thoughtful and polite. His English pronunciation is really standards. We talk  about our country, school, food, and subject and so on. Very relaxed and interesting!
 We will meet again tomorrow and he promised to bring some book to us.  I am looking forward to it!



  Our new classmate Lan will come back to her counry,so we take many photos with every classmates and teacher,I love our class!
  But...there have a sad thing, yesterday I watched a draw tears film, so moving that I cried a long time and slept very late. Today my eyes looks like a nut, I think is ugly and I don't want to others look at me, especially take a photo, terrible!
  It does not matter, we have a nice day!

The test

  Today we had a test in our class.It is a little difficult,especially the part about grammar.
  I think first conditional, second conditional and comparison I can got them,but the tense like the present continuous , present perfect continuous... I feel very puzzled! But the good things is I am not boring with them,just confused and I want to learn it more,I want to got it!
  Vocabulary is easy because our class is intereting, I always can understand the new word easily.Relying on the situations at that time, I will remenber them quikly.There still have some thing wrong but actually I could do it better,just because careless and lazy. I feel so sad,time passed so fast,I should be study more hard.
  After test, I was very active in be the first one to tutorial,but Claire didn't allowed me,because she want to order the mark to distribute us.I can understand her. Claire is a little serious, I think, maybe it because she is the manager.It dose not matter, I think she is kind.
  You know, I think Andrew was a little serious at class formerly,but after a month,he become more and more funny and cute, every classmates can feel that, we love him more! In China, there have a word "hot slow" means some people is shy and serious with unfamiliar person, but after they meet more times and become familiar,they will become funny. I belong to this type.haha
  Finally, I expect to talk with Andrew at friday. I want to improve my English!

Monkey King

 Last friday,I made a topic talk in our class to intruduce my favourite mythical charactor. I will post some in here,because I want to share with Laura.^^
 This is one of the Four Great classical Chinese novels.A true story of a Chinese monk, Xuan Zang to fetch back some Buddhist scriptures .But as you know,novel always have some change, add some unreal stories.
 The author's birth is 1501-1582 years,so it has a long history.
  The main charactors is a  master( Monk Tang) and 4 apprentices(Monkey King,PigsySandy,White dragon horse). It is said if you eat the flesh of the master monk,you can living forever.So that every ghosts  and monsters want to kill him and eat his meat.Buddha want to test he,so he sent four apprentices to protect the monk.
   They must overcome 81 difficulties,it is fantasy and myth.

  The novel have a high historical significance and influence on future generations. Their perseverance, dauntless spirit is truly worthy of our learning.

  We have many movies, TV plays, cartoons about it.the most classic edition in 1982-1988  produced by  China Central Television. They overcomed the hard conditions,low salary,even life danger, and used underdeveped movie special effects at that time .It contains beautiful sceneries and wonderful storylines.Children love them.

  Monkey King is my idol and hero.I still trust he will protect me when i need.

 


Goodbye Again, Cambridge


Memorial stone to Xu Zhimo at the Backs of King's College, Cambridge


Goodbye Again, Cambridge

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
The floatingheart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!
That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream.
To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.
But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects keep silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

Mickey Mouse Potato chips


There has an amazing thing,three potato chips composite together just seems like Mickey Mouse!

My photographs

  These days,I have been to many places where i yearn for a long time,and took a lot of photographs.I want to show some for you.

 This is 1 March, Laura took us to the V&A museum.The Raphael's painting exhibition and jewelry hall are deeply attracted me, but it's a pity that  prohibited to take photos here.

This is nearby National Natural museum.

This is The queen of British.She has a noble temperament. This reminds me to the Soong sisters and described as the "one who loved power" in China.They come from a noble family,both are very beautiful and very talented.
Song Qing-Ling was the wife of Dr. Sun Yat Sen who many Chinese consider the founder of modern China.She is the mother of our country. We all know her fame.Her sister,Song Mei-Ling,was the wife of President Chiang Kai-shek, she played a prominent role in the politics of the Republic of China.

This is our lovely teacher---Laura ! haha.

 In the home way on the underground, I saw a foreign man who hand tattoo is Chinese
"family"! It is unexpectedly!
This is 2 March, we went to the National Gallery. It is not allowed to take photos. I just took some studying  students in the corner.This is my current favorite art museum.It is hard to imagine that I can stand in the front of  so many genius's paitings. The originals are really exciting than the copy in the books!


This is me and my good friend Sirwan!


Lovely clouds!


    Cute Easter egg at the Covent Garden!
March 7, zoe invited us to her home. She's really a good chef!
 March 9,I and YaoLu to appreciate the London landmark. The river Thames at night is fascinating.

  March 10,I and Yaolu  impulsively bought the train ticket to Cambridge. I think every Chinese students are yearning beautiful Cambridge, due to China famous poet Xu zhimo's "Goodbye to Canbridge". There is so charming! That day both of us are very moved.


March 11,Yong and Derek invited us to their home.We had a good time.You kown China has so many people, then we can know each others in the same class at foreign University, What a wonderful luck!



         This is my most satisfied  photo. Do you like it?

March 12,we went to the V&A museum agian. We went to visited the National Natual  museum.I like the earth! 

 Me and Darwin!
At middle school I have readed his <The Origin of Species>.

   
                                               Last Saturday,we went to the Oxford.


Yaolu and Ling.

I love living in London. Hope everyone to enjoy my photos!

Actually,I have no idea about Slang in Chinese.Maybe sometimes when I talk with my (familiar) original friends,we will use some words like Slang.

2.Do you think standards of language are falling in your country?
Yes,it is (really a) a really serious problem.Nowadays,young people use computers and phones more and more,so that we lost many basic skills and form about writting.When I need to write a formal letter or E-mail,I always get confused./ I am always confused.We also lost many beautiful idioms and classic common saying.It is not good for a language,even for a nation.

3.Do you think you speak well in your language?
Yes.China has a lot of kind of dialect,most of them are similar to the official language---mandarin,and some of them are very different (with) from mandarin. Some local people always have a little accent so that they can not speak mandarin very (well)good.But my mandarin is well. When I was a child,I have had a lot of host and recitation activities

4.What English "slang"do you know?
I think just "guys".I knew this word from some American teenager movie.

5.Do you think using slang makes you sound stupid?
No,I don't think it makes someone sound stupid.(It just a kind of express way)It is just a way of expressing your self , /It is just an expression ,so long as no rude words.

Some thing interesting

   There have some thing very interesting: every country has its own features,you can not say what kind of specific characteristics,but you just can distinguish them.
   This afternoon,we had a self-study intruduction class with many new students,when they come in to the room,I thought this man must be German,this girl must be Japanese,and this is Korea.....and so on.
   The results: i guess rightness!
