My Colorful Hometown---Beijing

Beijing is not only an ancient but also a modern city. Beijing has many Chinese traditional things, such as culture, history, festivals, buildings, and foods. There are many famous buildings in Beijing, such as the Imperial Palace, the Great Wall, and Tian’ anmen Square. You can also find traditional streets around Beijing; we call them “hu tong”. In addition, you can eat lots of Chinese traditional foods in Beijing, such as roast Beijing duck, dumpling, and hotpot. However, Beijing has changed to a modern city today. You can also find many fashionable things, such as Buildings, clothes, and foods. There are many good malls that you can go shopping, such as Wang Fu Jing, Xi Dan and, Zhong Guan Cun which seems to be the Chinese Silicon Valley. Also, you can eat many different kinds of foods from many different countries, such as Japanese, Korean, French, and Italian. You can eat almost every country’s food in Beijing. In addition, Beijing successfully held the 2008 Beijing Olympic Game. There was about a hundred thousand visitors visit Beijing to watch the Olympic Game. Beijing which is the centre of Chinese culture, Chinese government, and communication is the capital of China. If you visit Beijing, you will find much more good things. Hopefully you can enjoy both traditional a modern lifestyles in Beijing.

The Effect of Coming to Canada

           
             There is no doubt that I got changed after living Canada. First, I have to live on my own in Canada because it seems that I don’t have a lot of choices since there is no relative who can take care of me in this strange country; besides, my parents have a good life and career in china, family immigrant is not on the board. I think that I become more mature and reliable. For now, I am an export of cooking. I am not bluffing and my cooking skill is awesome. Second, another change which I should feel proud of myself is that I have a thought to save money. As you know, education for international students is expensive and I don’t have a job to support me, so I do not spend money like I did when I was in China. Third, in China, my mother somehow is like my nanny, whenever my room get messy up, she will cover everything. I have to learn how to organize my room in case of not losing letters from the government. All in all, living in Canada is not only an adventure for me, but also a splendid life experience.

Sad Week

This week is a sad week because I was sick. This weekend I stayed at home. It was rainy day. On the roadside, I saw a lot fallen leaves, some gold, some red, some still green. That’s really lovely. Looks like carpet with a flowery pattern. In the Saturday morning, I heard birdcall, sounds like birds singing a nice song. I felt so comfortable and happy. I did news discussion and saw a movie. And I sat beside the window, thinking about my life and my future. I’m not a good learner in English; I’m really worried about my English. I afraid I cannot pass those courses. I didn’t know how I can work hard. I cannot find the direction. I felt unhappy. Douglas College will have a short vacation for Remember Day. I thought I have enough time to study at home. I was sick recently; I miss some things, so I have many things which need to catch up with. I am so sad that I miss a few classes last week because of illness. Therefore I got a decision to stay at home to review. I think I will do it.

I suddenly thought of last PNE Sunday Night. My friends went to PNE to celebrate Halloween. I knew every Halloween PNE will have special party. Last year I went to the PNE Fright Night thrice. That was really exciting! I saw a lot people dress up, some looks like a ghost, some looks like an angle. In addition, I saw a super man and a Bobby. I was really happy! My favourite is the Roller Coaster, the wooden one. Soooooo good!!!!!! HAHA...However, I cannot go there this time because I was sick. It is so sad, right? I think I will go there again! The Roller Coaster is waiting for me!! This weekend nothing special happened. I felt many feeling that already pass, but I still I feel sad, happy and excited. Whatever, happy or sad, I have to keep going and facing the life. Study harder and harder, be serious.

Canadian Life

After have been in Canada for 2 years so far, my campus life changed a lot. First of all, the courses in china were involved in Chinese, English, math, biology, history, politics, and physics which meant I spend a lot of time studying at school. I am a sport-type guy, who is crazy at playing basketball with a group of friends; however, I couldn’t actually enjoy it in China because of the endless homework always kept in my mind. Furthermore, the most annoying thing that gave me a headache was each l2 days long mid -term and final-term exams. I am satisfied what is my life go on so far in Canada. In this session, I just registered one course, and then the only thing I can do is focusing on this subject and trying to make it perfectly. Besides, I can spend more leisure time with basketball hobbyists and I am totally enjoyed. During paying more attention with out-door activities I find out that I am very interested in reading novels. <The kite runner> is the second novel I read in Canada. I decide to read more. (By the way, I went to Chapter today and I was looking for Nicholas Sparks’ novel, < the note book>, I like the movie so much and hope the novel as much beautiful as the movie)

My Favourite Animal---Dolphin





Dolphin is my favorite animal. It is one of the most precious animals in my mind. Their bodies are very long, about 3 meters. Dolphins live in the sea, their mainly food sources are fish, shrimp and so on. The worlds have 62 kinds of dolphins, distributed mainly in the oceans. The dolphin is a kind of ability outstanding, and the smart sea mammals. Generally, dolphins swim speed is 10 kilometers per hour. If they are pursued, they can swim faster, even as fast as 40 kilometers per hour! Dolphin is a kind of friendly and peaceful animal, and they never attack people. Instead, they have saved many people in danger. Dolphins are very clever because people trained them and taught them to do a lot of perfect actions. Moreover, they make people feel very happy.  Unluckily, dolphins are getting fewer and fewer because of water pollution and others reasons; there is less and less space for dolphins. Many people make money by hunting dolphins. If we do not protect them, maybe we will lose this kind of good friends one day. As a student, I hope more and more people can take actions to protect dolphins, not only to protect dolphins, but also to protect all kinds of animals in our world.

Classification of Friends

Today my friend and I were talking about what are good friends. I thought that the most important is friends should know each other very well. First of all, the friend that can really contact with and that I can talk about my personal thoughts and feelings comfortably. Good friends should understand each other and you should have similar life style, such as personality and hobbies. You primarily may just can talk together or play together. Day by day, you find you like many things which are similar and you guys can stay together for a long time. Next, good friends should care each other. Good friends should help each other when friends need help. For example, people should help each other for life, study, and work. Second, normal friends, who are just there to talk to, to hang out with or just to play. However, these types of friends I don’t feel too comfortable sharing my personal feelings since I don’t know them all that well. Another kind of friend is not exactly friend. Distant friend or I would like to call them “acquaintances” are the people who I meet in school or introduced by a friend during certain events. I really can’t consider them as a friend yet because I don’t really know them well enough. They may can just play with you or share your good things. However, they cannot help you when you are in the trouble or you need help. This kind of friends is not close friends. They can leave you anytime, especially you need help. Hopefully, everybody can have as many as good friends.
