Ending...

Only two days left, then this semester will be finished. All of our classmates have been together for a long time. After this program, maybe we won't have chance to sit together in a classroom, but I believe we will still meet sometimes in this campus.
We have been through an unforgetable time together. I have met many good teachers and friends in this program. I am lucky to meet all you guys.
I hope everyone will have a good time in their future study.

My own caffy

During these days, I played a game, I act as a cook in the game. When costumers order dishes, I need to make these food for them. I feel happy to do that. Also, it makes me created a new goal for myself.
Before, I do not know what I want to do in the future. When I came to Canada, I found the answer. My part time job on campus, some searching from Internet, and some small games make me have a dream. Now I dream to own a caffy, and I can sell coffee, deserts, and some light meals.
I want to build a relaxed design of my caffy, and my caffy is mainly for white-collar people. I hope when they visit my caffy, they can feel confortable, and forget about the pressure in working. Just enjoy the food and drinks. I hope my caffy can make them feel happy everyday.
I think it is better for me to design the caffy by myself because I think that must be a meaningful thing. I will be so proud when people acclaim my caffy. At that time, I will not always sit in office like other bosses do, instead, I will serve for my costumers myself. Also, I will create some unique tastes of coffee in my caffy.
However, that seems like a dream that is far from me. Anyway, I will work hard to make my dream become true.

Final Exams

This Friday, next Monday and Tuesday are the dates that we are going to have our final tests. Today is Friday, so we already finished our writing test. We need to choose a topic and then write an essay in the test. It can check how much knowledge we accumulated in this semester. I am not sure weather my essay is good or not. I just hope I can pass this level, and take courses quickly.
Actually, I like tests because tests are more likely to be adventures, in tests we can know how much we do know, and find the parts that we do not know and need to improve. However, I am afraid to see the results of tests. I do not like marks, and I do not like nervous. I am easy to become nervous, especially when I need to give a presentation. I can talk frenquently with my friends, but when I stand in the front of a lot people, I can think of nothing.
Never mind, I still have to mention the proverb: No Pain, No Gain.
And at this time, I hope everyone in EAP can have a good result in their tests.

Movie, movie!!!

I have seen a movie from the Internet, I can't remember the name, but it seems to be a re composition from a famous novel.

The whole story connected with a murder, but not about ghost. The main character is a girl, who has beautiful eyes, she has a sense to feel about things that already happened or is happening in process. However, her father who is a christian thinks this sense is evil. Her best friend was murdered, she felt how it happened, but couldn't see the murderer's face. All people in that village think that was a shame. Therefore, this girl and her family moved out of the village.

When the girl grew up, she went back to the village, the murderer was still not found, so she decided to face this thing, and find out the killer. She doubt it was done by his father, so she tried hard to find evidences to demonstrate her assumption. During the seeking, she falls in love with her best friend's brother. At the nearly end, her father was died in a car accident; in fact, that's not the real result.

Whatever~ The story has a nice ending, they found the real murderer, and the two main characters are happy together.

Be Locked Outside Again

I think I always have troubles with the key to the door of campus residence, this is the second time of being locked outside the door, and under the same kind of situation as last time.

The system is too complicated. Each one has their own key to the door, each key is made by plastic, but controlled by computer system. We need to bring our keys all the time because with out the key, you can't even get into the building. If you want to go into your room, you need to use your key twice, the first time is for opening the door of building; second, used for opening the door of your room.

Last time, I was taking shower in the washing room, and my roommate locked the door when she went outside, so I couldn't get into room. However, it was week days, so someone of resident services came to help me open the door.

This time is I met the same situation, she locked the door while I was taking shower. When I called her, she said she was at home where is far from school. Unfortunately, it is Sunday, so the resident services is not open. I waited for nearly two hours outside the room, but she is still not coming back. At last, there has a kind stuff told me to go to another building(I can't remeber the name), and there, I can get a key to open my door. I did, luckly, now I am in my room.

Next time, I will bring my key all the time.

@-@

Today, I played a mini-game on the Internet, it is a manage of your farm. At the beginning of the game, you will get a farm with four fields and a small room for feding chicken, and you own 400to buy things for your farm. There has a small shop beside your farm, so u can buy seeds of vegetable and fruits there. I bought the seed of radish, because it is the cheapest, I also bought some fertilizer and pesticide, and used up all the money. My growing is successful.
Then, I sold the radishes to other to make money buy more seeds to grow.
Therefore, I grow more and more vegetable and fruits, and I also have chicken. However, the game is becoming more and more boring. At last, I stoped feding chicken and watering the farm.
What amazed me is, the plants are still growing, and all the chicken are still alive. I think this must be a game for kids. -_-

Ratatouille

I like watching cartoons, including some cartoon movies, and "Ratatouille" is really a funny movie.

The main character of this movie is a small rat whose name is Remy.

The plot is: A rat named Remy dreams to became a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. Remy has talent of smell. An accident made Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking and his kindness set him to help the son of Auguste, whose name is Skinner and doesn't have any talent of cooking. After many things, Remy is recognized by many people, and his cooking becomes popular in Paris.

The foods showed in the movie look delicious, and always make me feel hungry.

I hope they can have continuation soon.

No ToPiC

This is a free blog, so there is no topic for this article. I can write anything I want. But in fact, I do not know what to write.

Today is Friday, the end of this week, but I have to work on Saturday and Sunday, which bring me a bad feeling. There are too many things come to my mind.

First, I seem to have a lot of homework, and I did not do them.

Then, I have pressure in this semester because everything is more difficult than last semester, the biggest problem I have to face is writing.

What elso? I have a lot of assignments in April which give me a headache. I have checked the schedule, in April we have to hand in assignment almost everyday, and then final exams are following.

I want to have a break to adjust myself. I want to relax, and do something I want to do other than study. Fortunately, next week, we are going to have GOOD FRIDAY, so now, I think I need to make a plan for that day because that is only one day break.

Anyway, now I still have no idea about what to do first, but at least I finished my blog for this week!

BUSINESS

I think most students in China would like to choose business as their main major in universities during these decades. I am not quit sure about the reason, but in my opinion, business is not that easy to study. That is too general, so students need to be knowledgable while learning that.

In fact, my parents also ask me to study business because they think there are lots of working opportunities for business people, then I have less chances to lose my job in the future. They treat it as an guarentee. I have choosen accounting as my main major for the first year in this university. I am still not quit sure what I am interested in. I like maths, but I do not want to make it becomes my main study area in the future.

The advantage is, in Canadian universities, students are easy to change their majors whenever they want to jump to other study areas. Therefore, I still have time to change my mind. I hope I can find something that I really want to learn, then the four years for university will be meaningful.

In business market, people have to face success and failure everyday, the gap is huge. So doing business is more likely to be an advanture.

Whatever, anything has opportunity to happen. Just be happy everyday.

Reading Break

This week is the reading break time, count with Saturdays and Sundays, we have nine days in total for the reading break, I am so happy with that because during this time, I can do everything I want, and have a relax time.

Last week, we had mid-term exams, I do not like exams, but I like the schedule for mid-term exams. For usual days, we have to stay at school for five hours per day, we have four hours for classes and one hour for lunch, but when it is examine time, we only need to have tests for two hours per day, then I can schedule my own time, I can have more flexibility.

During these reading break days, I went outside with my friends. The most exciting thing is we had a meal in U&Me, I really like the food there. That is a Chinese restaurant, they have really good tasts of food, especially for breakfast. We had a lot of Chinese traditional food, and charted for a long time. I really enjoyed it because everything is so familiar, when I sat there, I felt like I was in China.

I like holidays, and I hope we could have more this kind of opportunities in the future~

MIND...

I am really curious about how our mind affect about our life. I think, mind is also belief. It is interesting to read articles about mind, such as the thinking system, and the relationship between mind and dream.
In, China we have a lot of stories about mind, some of them are related to dream, and some of them are related to belief. Actually, I do not believe these things, but it is interesting to hear the stories about them, because they always sound mysterious. I like mystery things.
Some people think dreams can give the hint about what is going to happen in the future. I have heard about the meaning of symbols in dreams, but already forgot most of them. My high school friend told her mother once dreamed that my friend was missing, and that means, my friend will success in the future. Interesting, right?
Can dream affect real life? I think so, but that is just for people who believe in that. When people dream about something good, two results will happen. One is that person won't work anymore, because he or she thinks that is going to happen for sure. The other result is, the dream will bring hope to the person who experience bad things, then he or she will work hard in order to achieve. Another situation, if someone dreamed a bad dream, and he or she really believe in that, the person will always think about the dream, and feel bad about life. Then, bad things will happen, but not his or her dream brings the bad thing, the real murder is the belief.
Life is controlled by ourselves~

EXPLORE

In this chapter, we learned something about taking risks. People like taking risks for excitement. Also, relax is a way to adjust pressure in working, learning or living.

Some people may think, taking risks can make people realize the importance of life, but I disagree with that. There are different levels of taking risks, from the usual ones, such as Bungee jumping, up to the most dangerous ones. In my opinion, I accept taking risks that can guarantee safety, but not the ones that hard to survive.

In fact, lots of people choose the second one, they want to explore, to discover some experiences that nobody tried before, or less people have tried. However, these risks are easy to get injury, even lose life. I think a person who wants to take these kind of risks should think about people around him or her, like relatives and friends. These people could be the most important people in him or her life; also the person might be the one that these relatives and friends care the most.

If they can alive after taking the risks would be fine, but nothing could be for sure. Danger is always happening around us. Death and lose bring tremendous grief. Lost tragedies just come from risks.

Life is the most important thing to everyone. The most wonderful thing is living with healthy and wealthy.
Therefore, people who want to take a risk should think over before making a decision. Choose a safety one can also get a complete relaxing. So, why not give up the dangerous ones?

A New Way of Learning

This week, we had an exercise to help us get more familiar with writing skills. We found a partner in our class, and then exchange our essays with each other. Read the other’s essay, read it. Then, correct the grammar mistakes inside the essay, find two good things from the essay, and give an advice about the part which is need to improve. This time, Ivy and I are partners. At first, I felt strange when I read her essay, because I have never helped others to edit their essays. That was a nerves time, I was afraid that I could not give a helpful advice, and I did not know how to express the good things of her essay in a right way. Anyway, I tried my best.

However, when I received my essay, looked at the things she wrote and read my essay again, I found they are really helpful. At least, I know what I need to improve, and when I see the good things of my essay, I know what I need to keep in the future. Also, from this exercise, I think I know better about the rules of writing, because when I helped Ivy to edit her essay, I looked at the rules again and again, so now it is deep in my mind.

I think help others to edit their essays is a good way of learning. I hope we can have more this kind of opportunity in the future.

Expression of EAP3

A new semester starts, we have face many fresh things but also some difficulties.
This semester, we are in the last level of this program, which means, we are going to have more things to learn, more works to do. It showed on the first day. On the first, I have got a lot papers about the assignments we need to do during this semester. I didn't count how many, but it is LOTS, like speaking journal, attending lecture, research summary... Also we have a different time table for classes than last semester. Now, we need to spend five hours a day in school. Therefore, this years I need to have a plan for the time, then I won't be doing my assignments in hurry. I hope the teachers will remind us for the assignments before the due days, then could finish them on time.
This year, in our classroom, there are many new faces, we have new classmates and new teachers. Since we just had a long holidays, so now I still can't adapt everything. Maybe after a few days, things will become better. I hope we will have more fun in classes, then it will be easier for us to learn.
Anyway, a good attitude is the most important~
