                                                     If I were a Designer

There are many unknowns in the world. No one knows exactly what will happen in the future. If I were a designer, I would like to draw a picture for seven girls.

I believe that there are seven lovely flowers in the Room 521. Everyone has her characteristic. We share our sorrow and happiness together. We talk about our dreams together. They don’t know what their future will be like, but I know.......

                                                If  ...

2008 is a very special year to our Chinese. So many things happened. But, this year, China did do lots of things to show the world — China is really strong.

If the snowstorm had not happened, China could not have shown the world --- we are full of love.If the state sovereignty had not met the greatest challenge, China could not have shown the world --- we are united.

If the earthquake had not broken out, China could not have shown the world --- we are brave.

If the touch relay had not been humiliated, China could not have shown the world --- we are consistent.

If the train had not been derailed, China could not have shown the world --- we are warm-hearted.

Dear Denise,

       I am terribly sorry for sharing your beautiful passage with our family members on our blog so so late. Summer holiday is coming and you must be at home now. Give my regards to your parents and enjoy your beautiful holiday. ^-^

       Today it is sunny in Xi’an, very hot, but when I read your words again, you know what? I saw a girl walking in the heavy rain. Without an umbrella, she was all wet. I shouted at her, “hey, go and find shelter.” but no response. Who is she? I do not know. Suddenly a gentle voice came, “I will pursue my dream! I will be fighting!”                                               

                                                                                              Bobby

Bobby's words,

What is happiness? I do not know. After watching "The Pursuit of Happiness", I understand that happiness is to pursue. In this passage Wing expresses her ideas about happiness with reason and logic. Nice work! Wish you happy, Wing! Fly with wings of dreams! 

Dear Bobby :
    I am Tina.I choose this way to express my sorry and other feelings to you .Precisely to say,it was when you came upon us and criticised us for our behaviour that my heart started to get heavier and heavier ---because your serious remarks as well as your attitudes at the moment left me a sense of nervousness and regretting for what we had done.
indeed,we konw clearly that talking loudly or freely in the class is very rude,and it inevitably shows our disrespect for teachers to some extent though in fact we do not mean that.So,I send my sincere apology to you for what I have done.Besides,I want to share some of my ideas with you.
Before the class began,someone told me that Bush came across with some bad thing or,bad luck.I wondered whether he was still in a low mood and wanted to cheer him up.You konw ,we come from the same province ,he cares so much about me as well as other girls in our class. At the same time,we have not talked with each other for a long time ,so there was just a strong feeling in my heart pushing me to chalt with him.Maybe I did the right thing at the very wrong time,but we really did not mean to anger you .sorry. But on the other hand,I felt happy since I tried to bring happiness to my friend,though it was ended with failure.
    After pouring out my feelings,I felt much better.sorry to trouble you spending your time reading my words.thank you!

Bobby:
    或许这些文字还不能清晰地表达我的真切意思，更或许它会给你一种我是在找借口与理由的感觉，但只要你坚持把它看完了，我就很感谢你，真的．做错了事就要去深刻反省，这道理我也知道．只是现在的我开始慢慢变得麻木，幸好有你不时得用话语或行动来刺激我及其他同学．谢谢．

Dear Tina,

     First of all, I apologize to you for my improper behavior. I was truly angry at that moment when observing you, Vivien and Bush chatting in class. I stared at you three but you ignored me. That is why I scolded you during the break. After class, I felt very regretful, because we are family members and I should have figured out the whole thing. Thank you for writing these words to me. Thank you for your sincerity. Being sincere is of vital importance in a family. In our family, I teach you, and you teach me. We together learn to love.

     Have a good day!

                                                                            Bobby

                                               What Am I Thinking About?

                                                                             Celery(英语061)

Now, what am I thinking about? I dont know. There are ragbags of things in my head. What a pity! What a terrible! Im English major and I should have done well in this aspect Oh, I have no courage to mention it. I know I shouldnt have been pessimistic like this and write these sad words, but just now Im crazy .I hate myself.  

At the beginning of this semester, I made a plan to write English diary everyday, because my written English was too bad. Now, I still persist in doing so, although there are many mistakes in English grammar, handwriting, punctuation and so on. Every time I finish writing my English diary. I always glance at my paper. The word "I" and the punctuation ","are full of my eyesight, you know I just write down the simple sentences .Every night when I prepare to begin writing, there is nothing in my mind, I dont know how to put the complex sentences into my diary. It is difficult for me to write in English. However I never give up. I need time. I should be patient. I believe I will write the beautiful article in English one day .An old saying is "Rome was not built in a day." 

Now, I am a sophomore. Time flies! I remembered that when I came here on the first day, I felt excited and happy. My dream to enter the university and to accept further education had come true. In fact, I didnt know whether I liked English and I even didnt know what the meaning of like was. I liked traveling, language, communicating .I was curious about all the things, so I just say I dont hate English. I like it .My first class of campus life still occurred clearly in my memory. I recalled that I didnt understand any word that every new teacher told us. Im worried and frustrated about this situation. So everyday I got up early and read English book aloud. I paid attention to listening in class. I did homework carefully in the classroom. I looked up every word I didnt understand in a dictionary. I tried to read English fictions, magazines and anything else.  

Now, I’m a sophomore. How much knowledge have I achieved? I bet Ive learned something both in the class and in my life. I never regret what I have done. Everyday I do things I should do. However, there still exist many difficult problems I dont deal with .Ive no idea how to deal with them. Its hard to say for me. Yes, Ive adjusted myself to my campus life. I get on well with my roommates, my classmates and other people. I feel that my oral English has been improved and I can get the most part of the listening while I couldnt do like this before. But why cant I improve my scores fast? I have no high scores about my integrated English course. I know it is not important in my life and it is just a small thing, but I still worry about it. What am I thinking about? Do I have unsuitable learning method? Am I still careless? Now I even feel all the efforts Ive made in vain.

This term, I set a goal to jog every afternoon with my roommate. Maybe I need more time to think instead of doing. I see that I have enough time to do everything I want to do. The question is that I dont make use of time very well .I need think and wash my brain every day. 

I say more. Im not pessimistic and I just say what I want to express .Im still happy, because I have a dream, a goal. I do my best to pursue the things belonging to me, and also I have my father, mother, brother, sister, friends and so on. They love me, take care of me and give me motivation.

This isnt an article .I express my feeling. These words just flow naturally from my pen. I cant control them. I just write freely.

Thank you, Bobby! You always look very lovely and are full of passion. I hope we have a good time to learn from each other.

Bobbys words:

Celerys writing is truly absolutely free! Words overflow spontaneously from her heart, emotional and true. Personally I like this passage very much. Celery, I want to tell you: on the journey to one’s destination, different difficulties and troubles will stand in the way. What should he or she do? Retreat Or keep going? You say you are not a pessimistic girl. So I believe that you will keep going with a brave heart.

                                                Teachers and Students

                                                                        Newspaper(英语062)

Nobody denies that teacher is one of the greatest professions in the world. A lot of people dream to be a teacher when they are young.

To be a teacher, you dont need to know everything. I think teaching is a course that teachers and students promote together .As HanYu a famous person in the old days said, “Teachers dont need to be wiser than students, at the same time students dont need to be equal to teachers.”

To be a teacher, you should teach the students how to study rather than tell them what to remember. Only when they learn the way to study, can they benefit all the life. Meanwhile, the students should be modest to accept the experience from teachers. But that is not to say they must follow the teacher completely. They can challenge teachers and hold their own ideas.

To be a teacher, you should pay more attention to teach the students to be a man. Personally, a teacher is not only a guide of knowledge, but a guide of ones morals. Students can choose their own teacher who is of noble character and high prestige. With their help, you can have both ability and political integrity.

Teachers and students are friends, if they respect each other, their friendship will last forever.

Bobbys words：

When Newspaper read her passage to all the students in class, I just felt she was a headmaster to teach me how to become a qualified teacher. ^-^ This passage is truly well written. The diction and sentence structure are good. What I appreciate most is her point expressed in this passage. Being a student, she not only focuses on her study, but also has her own thinking on teaching. “To be a teacher, you should teach the students how to study rather than tell them what to remember.” Yes, thank you, Newspaper, I have a long way to go in my teaching career and your suggestions are of much value to me！

                                                    Fail in Examination            

                                                                       Nancy(英语062)

  In China, July is called "Dark July”, because every year in July students have to take various exams. Quite a few dread them, worry about them, and stay up all night studying for them, for they have to pass the College Entrance Examination. It is said to be a very important turning point of one’s life. Yes, once you succeed, your life will be more splendid. As to the NMET, I feel a pity for one of my friends who have failed the exam twice. I don’t understand why? Meanwhile, I’m very lucky that I passed it, and still in college I should work hard, not wanting to have it any more.

   Examinations are conducted everywhere, they are used as a chief mean of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. To some degree, they’re useful, but its side effects are enormous. The most undesirable effect is that exams encourage bad habits. As examination is the only criterion for one’s academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think. creatively.

   Examinations don’t motivate his creativity, instead, limits his reading .The idea that passing College Entrance Examination occupies his mind, "I must work hard constantly, if I fail it, the work will abandon me ". And also, examinations lower the standard of teaching, for teachers themselves have also formed such a style. They teach or sometimes force their students to form it .And no subject can be effective only for the purpose of examination.

   Personally, I don’t think examination can contribute anything important to the students’academic developments. But we have to work hard on our learning even in college .What I want to say is that educational authorities should devise more effective and reliable measures to evaluate a student’s real ability. Failing examination means something but not everything.  

   "All roads lead to Roman", isn’t it?

Bobbys words:

Nancy is always a very shy girl in my class. she seldom answers questions and communicates with me after class. sometimes I can read her mind from her eyes. I know her. But this passage really surprises me much. Her arguement is very forceful and convincing, which, I thought, was not her style. I am wrong. Nancy, your writing is great. Keep writing and share it with the world!

    My Life Is in Blossom

                                                                 Amanda(英语061)  

  Like all other adolescent girls, I love flowers. Several days ago, I learnt an English song ,“Edelweiss”. I still remembered that when I was a little girl I had already knew how to sing songs in Chinese. Not until I learnt the English song, did I felt that the edelweiss was so beautiful and pure. The moment the dancing notes and flowing melody haunt me, I just feel that my world is filled with many pure, clean and white flowers.

  But things were different a year ago. Before I entered this university, I just lived up to the people who bring me up and care about me. My soul withered like chrysanthemums. However, as time went by, I could say I found the real self in university. No other expectations to live up to but my own. The spiritual shackles fell away. It is unnecessary for me to follow the crowd, and I found out that I like to have some recreation on campus by myself. I can learn whatever I want to. I can do whatever I want to, even I can allow myself to break some rules to relax me. Seldom do I care other people’s judgment on me, because I hold the belief that in my life, I’m the blossom, not others.

  Just like the lyrics say, edelweiss will bloom and grow forever. The flower of my life just catch the first glimpse of the real mysterious world, and it’ll bloom and grow forever.
