If you understand,say understand.If you don't understand,say don't understand.If you understand but say don't understand,how can i understand you understand,understand?(a tongue twister,thank you~~~)

      In the previous week,i had a great(or maybe not good,you know weight problem*)time,eating,sleeping,surfing the net,reading magazines and novels.One of my friends told me seriously that i am going to be a PIG,but,you know,i can do nothing about that,so i said  innocently,"It's raining all day long,i can go nowhere,and all in all,no money!"sigh!We both.By the way,i love the rain,very much!~Anyway,i finished reading a book entitled Journalistic English:Style and Analysis yesterday.It's not a funny one,but i did learn a lot ,really.And here,i'd like to share something with you all~

When we two parted(Byron)

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this!

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow-
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o’er me-
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee
Who knew thee too well:
long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met-
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After ling year,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.

I wandered lonely as a cloud (Wordsworth)　

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high over vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine,
And twinkle on the milky way.
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay;
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company;
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

A red,red rose(Burns)

o my luve's like a red，red rose

　　that's newly spring in june：

　　o my luve's like the melodie

　　that's sweetly play'd tune.

　　as fair art thou，my bonnie lass.

　　so deep in luve am i：

　　and i will luve thee still，my dear，

　　till a'the seas gang dry.

　　till a'the seas gang dry，my dear，

　　and the rocks melt wi'the sun；

　　o i will luve thee still， my dear，

　　while the sands o'life shall run.

　　and fare thee week，my onlu luve！

　　and fare thee awhile！

　　and i will come again，my luve，

　　tho'it were ten thousand mile.

  Why read,and sometimes even write poetry?That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs.

    I sing when i feel good.When i sing my favourite songs,i feel even better.Sometimes when i am listening to music ang to the song words,i feel that it was written for me.A good song always makes me feel something.There songs that i sing in my head between classes and songs that i want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day.

   They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades.I like songs about love and friendship.The extraordinary thing is,my feelings are more special when i sing my favourite  songs in English.

   I also like reading.I used to avoid poetry until an e-pal told i should recite poems and not look up the meaning of the words.Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms,but the best thing is to just  forget about them.In the beginning i feel quite strange.Now i always lock the door.Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling,but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm,the rhyme and the sounds of the words,it is really a special experience.

   I started with small poems,but now i think i most like long poems.I have different feelings with different poems.When i have had a bad day at school,i read Keats and forget eaerything.When i am sad i read Wordsworth by the light of a candle.When the poem is finished,i close the book and my sadness is gone.

(From China Daily)

Mid-Autumn Festival The 15th day of the 8th lunar month The joyous Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth moon, around the time of the autumn equinox（秋分）. Many referred to it simply as the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon". This day was also considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. Food offerings were placed on an altar set up in the courtyard. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes, pomegranates（石榴）, melons, oranges and pomelos（柚子） might be seen. Special foods for the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro（芋头）and water caltrope（菱角）, a type of water chestnut resembling black buffalo horns. Some people insisted that cooked taro be included because at the time of creation, taro was the first food discovered at night in the moonlight. Of all these foods, it could not be omitted from the Mid-Autumn Festival. The round moon cakes, measuring about three inches in diameter and one and a half inches in thickness, resembled Western fruitcakes in taste and consistency. These cakes were made with melon seeds（西瓜子）, lotus seeds（莲籽）, almonds（杏仁）, minced meats, bean paste, orange peels and lard（猪油）. A golden yolk（蛋黄） from a salted duck egg was placed at the center of each cake, and the golden brown crust was decorated with symbols of the festival. Traditionally, thirteen moon cakes were piled in a pyramid to symbolize the thirteen moons of a "complete year," that is, twelve moons plus one intercalary（闰月的） moon. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festivity for both the Han and minority nationalities. The custom of worshipping the moon can be traced back as far as the ancient Xia and Shang Dynasties (2000 B.C.-1066 B.C.). In the Zhou Dynasty(1066 B.C.-221 B.C.), people hold ceremonies to greet winter and worship the moon whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival sets in. It becomes very prevalent in the Tang Dynasty(618-907 A.D.) that people enjoy and worship the full moon. In the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279 A.D.), however, people send round moon cakes to their relatives as gifts in expression of their best wishes of family reunion. When it becomes dark, they look up at the full silver moon or go sightseeing on lakes to celebrate the festival. Since the Ming (1368-1644 A.D. ) and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911A.D.), the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival celebration becomes unprecedented popular. Together with the celebration there appear some special customs in different parts of the country, such as burning incense（熏香）, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting lanterns on towers and fire dragon dances. However, the custom of playing under the moon is not so popular as it used to be nowadays, but it is not less popular to enjoy the bright silver moon. Whenever the festival sets in, people will look up at the full silver moon, drinking wine to celebrate their happy life or thinking of their relatives and friends far from home, and extending all of their best wishes to them. Moon Cakes There is this story about the moon-cake. during the Yuan dynasty (A.D. 1280-1368) China was ruled by the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung dynasty (A.D. 960-1280) were unhappy at submitting to the foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without being discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes. Backed into each moon cake was a message with the outline of the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attached and overthrew the government. Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this legend and was called the Moon Cake. For generations, moon cakes have been made with sweet fillings of nuts, mashed red beans, lotus-seed paste or Chinese dates（枣子）, wrapped in a pastry. Sometimes a cooked egg yolk can be found in the middle of the rich tasting dessert. People compare moon cakes to the plum pudding and fruit cakes which are served in the English holiday seasons. Nowadays, there are hundreds varieties of moon cakes on sale a month before the arrival of Moon Festival. （Happy Mid- Autumn Day,everyone.If you can not go home,be remember to make phone calls home~~)

  为期一个月的实习已经过去了一大半,每天坐公车去坐公车来,写教案改教案讲课听课批改作业坐班守自习课检查区域卫生、、、、、、有的时候我会觉得很忙很累，有时会觉得很崩溃，因为教案的不合格因为上课后的不满意，但更多时候是觉得欣慰，是的，他们都是好孩子（自然而然就称他们为孩子了）很懂事很配合，有时候会觉得很难受，因为时间太少，我能教给他们的就那么点。我已经是过来人了，但还是老忍不住发发感慨，他们太苦了压力太大了，整天就有个吃饭的时间，晚上下晚课已经是十点多、、、、、最另我难受的是他们整体上都没有信心，今天去听了一班（快班）的课，后排一男生单桌，我坐下，然后有了下面的对话：

  你哪转来的？

  ？

  你以前在哪个学校念？

  （我很想说“延大”来开个玩笑，但我知道他又误会了）我是来实习的。

  ！真的？（看了看我，我背双肩包呢，但也太那个了吧打击不小）

   恩，我在八班上课，今天来听曹老师的课学习来了。

   噢，不好意思~二中太烂了，要听就去听好的，培植就很好。

   那你怎么在这了？？

   培植是私立学校，太贵了，老师讲课真的是特好特有激情，我昨天刚转到这里，这便宜嘛，以为你也、、、、、、你就去那听、去那实习。

   （突然不知道如何开口了）最主要的还是自己好好学，往好的方面想想-----恩，不说了，你快好好听课啊，待会再说。

   这单元我早上过了，讲的慢死了，你看一点气氛都没。

   咱们不要打扰旁边的同学，下课再讨论好吧。

   打扰？你看就没几个在听，后边就更别提了，睡觉涂鸦看武侠什么的。那，老师你实习到什么时候？完了就在这教书？（得到我的答案后）还要一年才毕业呢？你以后当老师的话要好好弄一下课堂气氛，不要老死气沉沉，要对学生公平、

   恩，谢谢！有没有什么打算？以后、、、、

   看能考上大学不，来这都不想学了。

   不行，是金子都会发光。要记住不要老挑外部环境，不要放弃自己啊，可以和老师谈谈想法提提意见什么的。

   恩，那我现在做《互动》上的练习，你等会给我看一下行吗？

   恩好。

   （思绪却再也停不下来，看着讲台上的曹老师，作为一个有经验的老师，她应该是了解学生的想法的，是已经麻木了吗，不想有什么创意改变了吧？她是骨干教师，也的确讲的不错了、、、、、、突然想起了高中的英语老师，当时我那么乖那么喜欢英语、、恩，他还好吗？、、、）

   选择和完形做好了。

   恩，我看看。（大部分都对了，给他说了错的之后，老师已经在布置作业了）、

   你们实习的老师在哪备课什么的？不会在老师办公室吧？那么小。

    在三楼的一个空教室，有什么问题可以去问，只要我们可以帮的、、、、、

   我也是这么想的，老师下课就在办公室七大姑八大姨的，我听他们说老师只是草草讲一下，我都不想进去。

   、、、、、、恩，加油加油，BEST WISHES！走了啊。

   （走出教室的时候我感觉心里突然不是那么轻松了，曹老师在门口给两个实习生讲解着什么，我加入她们仔细聆听，有一些话要说但最终还是咽了回去）。

   （教育部专家明天就要进校了，一切都处于戒备中，我们留在市里实习的三十几个很有压力，抽到谁讲示范课谁讲砸了就会什么的、、、、、、所有人刚刚做了一个课件，但是心里憋的慌，完全的作秀，完全的理想课，舍友 说都这样，我说哦。教育越来越受重视，但这样的“欺骗”什么时候才能改变呢？每次的检查每次的评估都这样，老师的工资是涨了，但是学生的学费一定要紧随其步吗？、、、、、以前看过一句话：“To teach is to learn twice."也许实习完之后我会更有资格说这句话，因为我或许更读懂它一点。不管怎么说，真的希望学校能通过这次评估EVALUATION，全校上上下下都为之准备，努力做的更好更出色，都太辛苦了~~）

   第一次在这写下这么多汉语，原本以为会快许多，其实却不然，不知是因为打字太多还是因为“教育”这个话题的缘故。

School begins,hate it!~~~~i did not go back home and spent most of the days at school during the holiday,yet i feel tired and ,you know,don't feel like studying at all now!Seeing so many students come back,and realizing i have to get up early soon,i keep yelling "boring,boring,sad,sad,etc.And i get a new name:SENIOR!worried?busy?happy?i don't really know.This afternoon,we(35 students)will begin our mini-classes,something like training session,for after our classes,we get comments from both supervisors and classmates,and after all of these,we will invade one senior middle school,starting our field work.Gusee what,i am getting nervous the moment,more and more!

It is the last year on campus for me,can't believe it,really.Well,i  just want to tell myself,to do what i want to do(sounds impossible and a little creazy?!),to keep trying,some thing new and something good  ,all in all,to have a full life~hahahaaa

  The UNO solicited children all over the worldfor an answer to the question:Please give your own point of view on the grain shortage of other countries.The result was no answer from any child of any country.

  The reason was found as follows.

  Children from Africa didn't know what it was by "grain";those from Europe had no idea of "shortage";those from Latin America got puzzled about "please".American teenagers knew nothing about "other countries".The problem with Asians was "your point of view"--something alion to them.

  It is a joke,but not a funny one.

I am now tutoring two students.In the morning,i go to a very rich family,living in a high -21th- floor house,the child has everything that he wants,like piano,trumpet,etc~in the afternoon,you know,a poor family,i mean finacially,they live in a middle-mountain cave(窑洞),very high also,the child even doesn't have a tape recorder!he says he wants to own one,for he needs it for his english studies!They other day,i offered him my walkman(i was trying to be kind but not,you know,hurt his dignity.god knows,i haven't touched it for quite a long time!!),he refused,saying that he just borrowed it for three days,and the way he treated it made my eyes watered,true!

i don't live in a very rich family,still i am shocked at this gap,a real gap around me,sometimes i just try to think,but that just makes me puzzled and sad more,and i am trying to do something i could,i know it is not enough,but i am trying、、、

Best wishes for the both,they two are all eager to learn,that is good,and who knows what the gap would change to be.

It is nearly two weeks since i got back from Wuxi.Yeah,when i had the idea of "going out for a while",i just cannot stop thinking of that,i could focus on nothing.So on a monday morning,at about 10,i began to pack,actually nothing else but a backpack,when i reached the station,it was nealy eleven ,i said to my roommate who saw me off,"if i can stiil get a sitting-ticket,i am doomed to go."you know the train leaves at eleven fifty!And guess what,i got it!Then i made a phone call to my friend(she works in Wuxi),"i am going to see you,i will arrive in Wuxi tomorrow morning at this time,and it took me quite a long time to convince her~~~then i set off with the train,beginning a thrilling journey.

She had to work(it would great if she was working at nights that week but who knows.)I travelled alone,taking a map with me,taking off bus,walking~~~~a great one,unforgettable one.

i am now a tutor,yesterday i had three students,but today only two left,and it doesn't  feel good really.I quit one of the students,i use "quit" since i could not find a better word!

I have tutored him for quite a long time,but sadly there is no obvious improvement till now,you know what i mean,anyway.Maybe i am too strict with him,but i have met many students in the last three years,but it turned out to be that he is the most "difficult" one.He was cooperative during classes most of the time,yet i can not exactly find the effective way for both of us,to get better results.When i asked for advice,my teacher said,"how can it be? you know him so well,both the strong and weak points~~don't worry,take it easy and be patient~~" Well,knowing him so well may be the problem!how can i take it easy?how can i be persistant?etc.The anwsers are so hard to give,i am really worried about him,he did not take the important exam  in july,but chose to study for another year,another junior-three -year so that he may be able to attend a good senior high school,he has his aim,it is a prestigeous one.Actually i don't think it worthwhile,he got too much pressure upon himself,what is it that a so-called good school actually is like??After getting into a senior school,he then has to work harder and strive(struggle)for a good university,an endless journey,i know learning is a long journey for all of us, but his attitude~~these two days,i got very tired when having lessons for him,not physically you know.i felt depressed ,sad ,urh,i don't know why,and it occoured to me that i can find another teacher for him,and it may help,new teacher,new ways~~and i did,i recommended one of my classmates,i know i am not a responsible teacher in this way,but i do hope it will work.Something getting better but not worse.He seemed to be hurt when i came up with the idea,no preparations at all~~forgive me!That is why i refer myselfa total loser,and i begin to be afraid of teaching now,worst of all ,this september i will begin my filed work,God,i look forward for it,and at the same time,i do not want to face it!!long long way to go,and so much to learn.

we had the exam for translation theory and practice this afternoon,the teacher covered the text books(notes mostly) only,and that's really disappointed me,i thought she may prepare something more hard or "advanced",when i scaned the paper firstly,:boring!~~~we have two more:advanced english(tomorrow morning) and British literature the day after tomorrow,then i will free.

these days,many many visitors came here,college students or sightseer,this city is a good one to learn revolutonary spirits~~yesterday i got to know another Japanese friend,he is a friend of our teacher of Japanese,he is over 70,yet trying to make reasearch programms,for his job,tomorrow he will go to Hu Kou Waterfall,but my exam will end at 12 ,it is apity i may not go with them~~it is about two years ago  since the last time i went there,i truely want to help him,to take notes,an interpreter ~~anyway,wish he has a good time,perhaps i may go ~~~`i really want to go out,to get something fresh~~~~

by 19th,we will free,i may not go back home,since 30 of us are required to take training-class ,for the evaluation this september,and i will try to make the vocation a happy and full one~~

best wishes for all of you,cool days~~`

     One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.

    They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

    On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

    “It was great, Dad.”

    “Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked

     “Oh, yeah,” said the son.

     “So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

     The son answered: “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.

    The boy’s father was speechless.

      Then his son added, “Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are.”

     Isn’t perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about we don’t have.

     Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends. 

the anwers of the test are here,check it~~~

If you choose A,the best comfort for you is love when you suffer a setback or a failure.Therefor it is a must for you to find a true sweetheart and only in this way can you realize your dream of success.

If you choose B,you are an optimist and you are sure to overcome any obstacles.What you need are some bosom friends to pour out your bitterness and sufferings.

If you choose C,you are one who relieves pressure and worries by using fantasies,which can solve the problems only of the present,not the future.So it is quite necessary for you to temper yourself through frustration and reality.

If you choose D,you are the person who likes to busy himself almost all the time.Work takes  up almost of your time.What you earnestly need is to improve interpersonal relationships with others and try your utmost to be more sociable.
