  • My first drawing "masterpiece"

    2008-06-24 12:03:40

           I am so happy that my first drawing masterpiece came to life today. When I finished it with the pen, I felt a great sense of achievement. If I can go on drawing, I believe,that feeling will be the source of strength.

       We had three-week drawing course this summer vacation. I stay in school instead of going back out of the interest in drawing.   Maybe it is a strange thing for others, but for me, it is a dream deeply rooted in my heart.

        The common belief is that drawing is an art. In acient times, people can draw, write, and play instruments. And children were educated to learn those art forms. Nowadays, little kids are requred to learn those to be all-round developed people. I learn drawing out of the need to draw. In my opinion, drawing, as well as writing and singing, is a way to realease your feelings such as sorrow,happiness and other complex feelings. A person with the hobby will live a relatively easier life.

       I hope I can learn how to draw within three weeks. And when it becomes my lasting hobby and habit, I can draw in my leisure time.

  • How to make a good campain speech

    2008-06-14 20:45:46

           A campain for the leaders of Students Union  was held this afternoon.Every competitor made a three-minute campain speech with the aid of PPT.I didn't participate in the campain but was among the voters. So I had a good chance to watch them give speeches and make judgements. Through my observation and group discussion, we come to a conclusion of what makes a good speech giver.

       Firstly, we should speak loudly, slowly, clearly and passionately.  Our voice makes a difference in giving the audience first impression. If it is loud, clear and beautiful, you can attract audience's attention within minutes.

    Remember:First impression is very important for a speech giver.

        Secondly, organize and simplify your speech. Make it in clear order so audience can catch the points. You should speak to the points and avoid talking nonsense, or else you may contribute to the sleep-deprived people's fast sleep. Don't fidget, and control your voice, don't let it go hoarse because of nervousness. There is no point making your mind in a total mess.You are ready and all is set for a relaxing presentation.

       Thirdly, express thanks to people who helped you.Do appreciate the time of both judges an audience at the end of your speech. People are apt to prefer those with good manners. They are glad to hear a humble person.

       Fourthly, add some spices to your speech. The majority prefer a cup of coffee to a cup of mild water. Add jokes or a little humour to your speech,then you will win audience's laughters.Add poetic words to your speech,then you will win appreciation. Add more sincerety to your speech, then you will win understanding. Add more feasible notions to your speech, then you will win the convinction.  

         What do you think about how to give a good speech? Do you have the experiences?

  • Thoughts about Lun Yu(《论语》)

    2008-04-19 20:37:11

                Lun Yu, a book in which Kong zi's students reported his words and behavīors. For thousands of years, Kong zi has been Chinese's teacher. In modern times, there is also a need to learn from him.

         Recently, I read the articles written by Yu Dan, the person who gives excellent lectures in Bai Jia Jiang Tan, about her understanding of Lun Yu. From her writing, I learn sth. new, sth.true, and sth.useful.

         First, many Chinese believe that everyone is born kind-hearted. In fact, Kong Zi never taught that. He just taught that everyone is born to tend to be kind. So we need education and social disciplines to keep us from evil. In this case, only with education, can a person be perfect.

         Second,about making friends. We should avoid the state of mind: high self-inportance. Because the world is made up of all individuals, you should never

    fix all your attention on yourself if you want to make friends. Once I read a sentence which taught me a lot: It takes three years to make a friend when you talk about yourself;it takes three minutes to make a friend when you talk about him. To a degree, it's reasonable.

         Third,About great ambitions and feasible actions

    Kong Zi believed that any great ambition is deeply rooted in the most honest virtues, in the self-perfect of personalities. We should search deep within our hearts before persuing high social status and abundant material.

         After reading Kong Zi's words,I conclude that life should not be always on the go, and we should smell the roses. Slow down your steps. Focus on your needs of your heart and soul. Tressure your friends and care about others more than yourself. 

         Happy to communicate with you on Lun Yu. Hope to

    share your gains after reading good books.

  • troditional Korean clothing and Chinese-style dress

    2008-04-14 09:23:33

        Troditioal Korean clothing has its roots extending back at least as the Three Kindom Period,as evidenced by wall paintings in tombs from this period. The Korean clothing represents one of the most visible aspects of Korean culture.

        The top part is blouse-like with long sleeves with men's version being longer, streching down to the waist. Women wear skirts and men wear baggy pants. Commoners wear white except during festivals and special occasions such as weddings. Clothes for upper classes were made of bright colours and indicated the wearers'social status. Various accessories such as foot gear, jewelery and headdresses or hair pins completed the outfit.

         Then let's take a look at the traditional Cheongsam.  It is the troditional dress for Chinese women.In Qing Dinasty, women had dresses of Man style and Han style. Women of Man people wore gown while women of Han People wore blouse and skirts.  

         Cheongsam became popular in the 1920s. It was out of dresses of Man Peopleand greatly improved by Han people.   From then on,   Cheongsam kept popular for more than twenty years. The styles had been changed several times. It completely

    showed women's beauty, thus making a great contribution to women's liberation.  We should notice that, women in the entertainment places made great contributions to Chengsam.  

          From 1930s, Cheonsam became popular among most women. Women in the countryside, rich women, workers, students all wore Cheongsam. Later, it spreaded overseas and worn by foreign women.

  • About Olympic Games

    2008-03-19 19:06:45

         Recently,  my  advanced  English  teacher  gave  a  new  definition  to  the  word  "God".   G-O-D:   Green,   Ocean,   Design.   This  new  idea  inspired  me  of  thinking  of  it  in  context  with  the  Olympic  Games.   We  al  know  that  China  is  doing  its  utmost  to  hold  a  "green  Olympics,"   a  "hi-tech  Olympics" and "the  people's  Olympics"  in  2008.   One  of  the  key  words  "green"  has  attracted  so  much  attention that  we  Chinese  citizens  should  take  the  opportunity  to  contribute  to  the  Olympic  spirit.  The  Olympics  is  a  grand  gathering  of  people  that  will  carry  forward  the  tradition  of  excellence,  promote  world  peace  and  enchance  friendship  among  the  nations  of  the  world.

          As  a  university  student,   I  ask  myself,   "What  can  I  do?   How  can  I   contribute?"   I  remember  the  sentences  describing  the  "Green  Olympics". "Green-colored  sunshine  through  soft  leaves,   all  the  green  days  in  the  growth  rings  telling  legend  to  the  future  and  the  past.  These  green  hopes  in  the  Olympic  rings  are  just  like  warm  hugs  and  brilliant  haloes  under  the  blue  sky  of  Beijing."   What  a  beautiful  picture!   But  still  I  am  faced  with  the  question  of  how  to  make  the  idea  of  "a  green  world"  come  true.

          In  my  humble  opinion,   it  is  necessary  to  raise  public  awareness  of  the  importance  of  the  Olympics.   Only  people  who  realize  that  it  will  take  a  united  world  to  achieve  such  great  ideas  will  make  a  difference.   There  is  little  we  cannot  do  in  operation.   Divided,  there  is  little  we  can  do  for  such  a  great  challenge  will  seem  too  large  for  us  to  take  on  individually.  In  addition,  actions  speak  louder  than  words.   Why  talk  about  the  "green  world"   if  we  aren't  willing  to  bend  down  and  pick  up  the  plastic  bottle  near  our  feet?   Although  some  of  us  cannot  be  volunteers  at  the  Olympics,   we  can  all  bear  this  vision  in  mind  and  make  contributions  in  some  other  way.

          At  last,   I  conclude  by  imitating  a  few  sentences  from  President  John F. Kennedy's  inangrual  address:   My  friend,  please  ask  not  what  the  Olympic  can  do  for  you;   ask  what  you  can  do  for  it.

  • About 2008 Olympic Games

    2008-03-19 17:34:00

            August  8th.2008-  a  day that  we  are  anxiously  awaiting  and  anticipating.  The  coming  of  that  glorious  day  with  its  heroic  achievements  streching  the limits  of  human performance  is  surely  to  inspire  us  all.   The  torch  has  been  passed  to  our  country,  and  for  a  fleeting  moment  in  time,  we  will  see  its  symbolism  for  it  is  symbolic  of  the  possibility  of  a  more  peaceful  and  lovely  world.

          This  is  a  historic  occasion.  It  establishes  a  firm  basis  for  confidence  stability,   prosperty  and  growth.   This  is  a  task  for  a  confident  people,  which  is  what  we  have  been  throughout  our  history  and  what  we  are  in  our  deepest  character.

         This  is  a  historic  occasion,   it  provides  a  wide  stage  for  charm,   pretige,   and  prominence.   Let  us  show  the  value  to  which  the  world  aspires  and  beautifully  and  distincly  present  it.

         This  is  a  historic  occasion.   The  eyes  of  the  world  are  upon  us.   The  hope  and  prayers  of  free-loving  people  everywhere  watch  with  us.   Fir  if  we  believe,   there  is  nothing  we  cannot  achieve.   All  things  are  possible.

         Our  nation  has  a  special  place  now  in  the  long  history  of  the  world.   The  essence  of  the  story  is  particularly  unique.   Equiped  with  the  knowledge  that  charm  does  not  only  lie  in  its  fabulous  tradition  and  culture,   our  nation  is  ready  for  a  world  that  lies  united  in  spirit  and  power.   United,  there  is  little  we  can  not  do  in  a  host  of  cooperative  ventures.   Divided,   there  is  little  we  can  do,   for  we  dare  not  meet  a  powerful  challenge.   Therefore,   we  can  see  a  society  of  openness:   open  cities,   open  skies,   open  minds,   and  open  hearts.   Fortunately,   it  is  certain  that  all  of  these  will  be  open  to  all  the  colors  of  the  world  in  the  2008  Olympic  Games.  In  our  hands  will  rest  the  final  success.   We  believe  that.

        When  our  aspiration  becomes  reality,   it  will  be  a  unique   Olympics  on  August  8th.   2008.   Let  us  broaden  our  eyes  and  encourage  our  hearts  to  welcome  it.

  • About Forest Gump

    2008-03-16 11:11:12

    阿甘正传

    导演:罗伯特·泽梅基斯 Zemeckis·Robert
    主演:汤姆·汉克斯 Hanks·Tom
    加里·西尼斯 Sinise·Gary
    罗宾·怀特 Wright·Robim
    萨莉·菲尔德 Field·Sally

    获1995年第67届奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳男主角、最
    佳导演、最佳剧本改编、最佳剪辑、最佳视觉效果六项
    大奖。

    阿甘是个智商只有75的低能儿。在学校里为了躲避
    别的孩子的欺侮,听从一个朋友珍妮的话而开始“跑”。
    他跑着躲避别人的捉弄。在中学时,他为了躲避别人而
    跑进了一所学校的橄榄球场,就这样跑进了大学。阿甘
    被破格录取,并成了橄榄球巨星,受到了肯尼迪总统的
    接见。
    在大学毕业后,阿甘又应征入伍去了越南。在那里,
    他有了两个朋友:热衷捕虾的布巴和令人敬畏的长官邓
    ·泰勒上尉。
    这时,珍妮已经堕落,过着放荡的生活。甘一直爱
    着珍妮,但珍妮却不爱他。在战争结束后,甘作为英雄
    受到了约翰逊总统的接见。在一次和平集会上,甘又遇
    见了珍妮,两人匆匆相遇又匆匆分手。在“说到就要做
    到”这一信条的指引下,甘最终闯出了一片属于自己的
    天空。在他的生活中,他结识了许多美国的名人。他告
    发了水门事件的窃听者,作为美国乒乓球队的一员到了
    中国,为中美建交立下了功劳。猫王和约翰·列侬这两
    位音乐巨星也是通过与他的交往而创作了许多风靡一时
    的歌曲。最后,甘通过捕虾成了一名企业家。为了纪念
    死去的布巴,他成立了布巴·甘公司,并把公司的一半
    股份给了布巴的母亲,自己去做一名园丁。甘经历了世
    界风云变幻的各个历史时期,但无论何时,无论何处,
    无论和谁在一起,他都依然如故,纯朴而善良。
    在隐居生活中,他时常思念珍妮。而这时的珍妮早
    已误入歧途, 陷于绝望之中。 终于有一天,珍妮回来
    了。她和甘共同生活了一段日子。在一天夜晚,珍妮投
    入了阿甘的怀抱,之后又在黎明悄然离去。醒来的甘木
    然坐在门前的长椅上,然后突然开始奔跑。他跑步横越
    了美国,又一次成了名人。
    在奔跑了许久之后,甘停了下来,开始回自己的故
    乡。在途中, 他收到了珍妮的信。 他又一次见到了珍
    妮,还有一个小男孩,那是他的儿子。这时的珍妮已经
    得了一种不治之症。甘和珍妮三人一同回到了家乡,一
    起度过了一段幸福的时光。
    珍妮过世了,他们的儿子也已到了上学的年龄。甘
    送儿子上了校车,坐在公共汽车站的长椅上,回忆起了
    他一生的遭遇。

    《阿甘正传》评析:
    在1995年的第六十七届奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片的角
    逐中,影片《阿甘正传》一举获得了最佳影片、最佳男
    主角、最佳导演、最佳改编剧本、最佳剪辑和最佳视觉
    效果等六项大奖。影片通过对一个智障者生活的描述反
    映了美国生活的方方面面,从一个独特的角度对美国几
    十年来社会政治生活中的重要事件作了展现。影片改编
    自温斯顿·格鲁姆的同名小说。只不过原著是一本充满
    了讽刺意味的荒诞小说,而影片则对故事进行了修饰和
    美化。摒弃了原著的荒诞和揭露讽刺意味,为影片增添
    了一种温情。这无疑使影片更合观众和评委的口味,但
    却牺牲了原著的叛逆斗争精神,使影片成为了一种理想
    化道德的象征。
    阿甘在影片中被塑造成了美德的化身,诚实、守信、
    认真、勇敢而重视感情。在影片中,阿甘是十分纯洁的
    形象,而珍妮则成了堕落的象征。这与原著有着极大的
    出入。对于所叙述的一切,影片自始自终都是以一种温
    情和善意的态度来表现的,甚至还加入了诗意化的成分,
    这使得影片显得柔和而无伤害性。影片对传统道德观念
    的宣扬和体现。使影片变得易为人们所接受,导演高超
    的编排技巧和电影语言的运用也使影片十分吸引人。影
    片的内容为影片商业上的成功提供了保证,而导演艺术

    Olympic Rings

      The colours of the interlinked Olympic rings were chosen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) , to represent the union of the 5 continents , Australia , Africa , America , Asia and Europe and further signify the meeting of the worlds athletes at the Olympic Games.

      The plain white background of the Olympic flag is symbolic of peace throughout the games. The five colours of the rings from left to right are blue, black and red across the top with yellow and green along the bottom , these colours may be found on most flags of the world and officially hold no other particular significance , although some believe each colour represents a particular continent.

    'Supergirl' Volunteer

    Meet Li Na, a second year graduate student from Beijing Language and Culture University. This jolly, good-humored "Good Luck Beijing" volunteer has earned the nickname "Supergirl" due to her unending efforts and infectious spirit in helping the capital city gear up for the Games. [Full story]

    The Olympic Rings

    The Olympic Rings

    "These five rings -- blue, yellow, black, green and red -- represent the five parts of the world now encompassed by Olympism and ready to compete against each other. Moreover, the six colours (including the white background) thus combined represent those of all nations, without exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the French, English, American, German, Belgian, Italian and Hungarian tricolours, the yellow and red of Spain are side by side with the new Brazilian and Australian flags, the old Japan and the new China. It is a true international emblem."

    Coubertin (Selected Writings II, p. 460, 1913).

    As an image of Olympism, Coubertin thought the rings had deep significance: that of the union between men. He multiplied the image to create a total of five rings. He designed and commissioned the Olympic flag to mark the 20th anniversary of the IOC's founding, on 23rd June 1914 in Paris. Coubertin never said nor wrote that he saw a link between the colours of the rings and the continents. For him, the five rings represented the union of the five continents, but the colours were merely those that appeared in all the different national flags at the time.

    -- The results of a survey carried out in six countries (Australia, Germany, India, Japan, Great Britain and the USA) in 1995 showed that 92% of those questioned correctly identified the Olympic rings, which made them the most-recognised symbol. They were followed by the McDonald's and Shell emblems (88%), Mercedes (74%) and the United Nations (36%). (SRI Sponsorship Research International).

    -- 86% of those questioned associated the Olympic rings with the world's greatest sports event: the Olympic Games. (SRI Sponsorship Research International, 1995).

    The Olympic Movement

    Pierre de CoubertinOn 23 June, 1894, Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee in a ceremony held at the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Demetrius Vikelas from Greece became the first president of the IOC. Two years later, in 1896, the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in Athens.More>>
