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.
