I have learnt English about 15 years. When I was a student, in order to pass the school’s English tests I have to learn English well. Now my motivation of learning English is different from a student’s motivation.

      The internal motivation of learning English includes getting better position, earning more money and building a happy family and so on. When I left my university I still learnt English during my free time after work, but I never used English in my daily work then. So for a long time I had not made any progress in English, I felt a little sad at that time. When I began to work in a factory I had a dream that I wanted to work at a big foreign company.

      It is a good chance to improve my English for me now. I am feeling sorry I didn’t do well enough for learning English. I think the condition of learning English is ready and whether the result will be good or not depends on myself. The English day is a good way and I want to speak English more every day, although I can not speak smoothly and I think my confidence to speak English is also not enough. I should try my best to speak English more from now on.

Our English teacher was angry because of our laze. After Chinese New Year there were only two guys delivered the English homework to her and there are 35 students who teached by her. Fortunately I have finished the homework on time.

        Last class her did not teach any lesson and discussed with us about the motivation of learning English for us now. I think each of us affirmatively know why we need to hard learn English well. After listening for her words, I was felling a little sorry and down. Her had done her best to improve our English and she is so nice I think. As we all know, the motivation of learning English well is so clear, I think it is not need to say more. There is a good chance to improve our English, learning well or not is nothing with the current teacher.

        I hope I can improve my English in this year. Now we all write report with English and our boss will help us to correct mistakes, so I think I must try my best to learn English through daily job. Opening my mouth and speaking more every day. Come on.  

Dear Laura,

How is it going? I’m glad to tell you the big news that I have moved to a new apartment! I have been sick of the old one, there was only one room. Well, the new apartment has two bedrooms and one hall for me. There is enough space where I can invite some guys to carry out a party sometimes. The old apartment was not bright enough and it was very noisy on the weekends. My new apartment belongs to a residential building that is located next to a park where I can take a walk after supper and there is a playground where I can play basketball every weekend. The new one is also very quiet and I shall have a good sleeping every day, it is why I so like the new apartment. I also need to pay more for the new apartment every month. I am expecting you to visit my new apartment during your free time.

Sincerely yours,

Kevin Lan

Maybe there are four main steps of my DFA work for one project. The details are as follows:

     Firstly, we need to prepare some base data. We will get the BOM of the base mold product and we will spend about half day to read this information. Before tearing down the product we need to prepare some labels and note forms.

     Secondly, we need to tear down the sample product to a lot of parts.  It is the most important job in this DFA process. Before we separate one part we must take some pictures of it. If there are not enough pictures for our analysis that may be not much correct finally. After tearing down we sometimes depend on the parts’ photos to do some analysis.

     Next, according to the parts’ characteristic we need to input the data to the DFA tool. The data of the part includes weight, length, width, height, assembly methods and so on. The data affects the assembly time and cost of a part. We will use one label to note the data for each part after inputting. Then we also take pictures for the single part with its label and note the part and picture number in a form.

Finally, we need to check all of the data and correct any mistakes to prepare the next job that is waiting for report.

There are too many traffic problems in Shenzhen city. I want to go back to my hometown by train, but it is so inconvenient. I have to choose bus all the time and spend more two hours than by train on the tour. So I think the train system of Shenzhen is not good enough. Here are my suggestions to solve some of our traffic problems.

First of all, there should be more train lines between Shenzhen and other cities. Because  of more than 10 million people who come from other provinces and they need to go back their hometown in the vacations. But there is a big shortage of the current ability of train.

Second, there should be more train stations for people to wait for trains. The current station is not big enough, it is very crowded during holidays especially Chinese New Year there are many long queues from inside to outside in the station. It is terrible I think. There are five districts in Shenzhen I think there should be four train stations at least.

Last, the bus system and taxi system also need to be improved; it is very difficult to reach the train station on some holidays. I think we can set some special bus lines on the crowded days.

It is finally cold at the end of Nov. in SZ. This year,it is colder than other years in SZ. The most days of SZ's autumn the temperature is more than 30 centigrade degrees in November. But when the cold is coming it became colder and colder soon. This week it is much coler than last week, the lower temperature of this week is nearby 10 centigrade degrees.

SZ city is nearby the sea, it is usually windy in the winter and the wind is heavier the air is drier. You will feel not comfortable because of the dry skin.

Because it is cold I am not out of room today.

Each of us is belong to one team in a company, if you want to get a well job you can not be out of the group. so the team work is very important in daily work. In the latest English training lesson, Laura let us play team game, after discussing and chose the best way to solve the problem, of course, all the discussings are in English. After the lesson, we had a homework that we need to write a article to discuss the best way to solve the problem in a team.

Brain Storming is quite popular way to analyse and solve some problems in a team. As an IE engineer who need to analyse and improve so many problems, the way of brain storming is necessary, when I learnt IE major lessons in university it is the first time I know this way.

I want to tour some scenery place in my vacation, I like the natural scenery very much.In China, there are a great number of beautiful place with the natural scenery.

For example, the city of Lijiang is a place with the most natural scenery. The city of Lijiang in southwest China's Yunnan province became the first city in the country to be formally registered on the UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage Sites list. Although Lijiang located in the northwest of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, was once an underdeveloped small town, because of that the protection of traditional heritage was protected very well in the old city.

Its area is about 20,600 square kilometers, there are more than 110 million people who come from 13 nations that include 12 minority nations. It is 57.7% of Naxi nation people in the city. Each minority has her unique traditional cultural. There are tow main languages in the old town, the Naxi and the Yunnan languages. But, now there more and more people in there who can communicate with foreigners in english well. The ancient city of Lijiang is at the foot of the Yulong Mountains, which are snow capped year-round. The height of this famous mountain is more than 5,000 meters. The tour industry is the mainstay of the economy in local.

After busy working, leaving the modern city to a natural place and living in there for some days, I think it is a good way to get a rest. The next tour plan is going to Lijiang.

This improvement idea about the handle subassembly of one Whirlpool’s cooking product. This subassembly is made of four parts, including handle, joint screw shaft, washer and nut. The handle and the shaft must to be assembled before the assembly on the door. There some screw thread on the shaft tow ends. 

The new design will decrease one part and some assembly time. There are three parts form the handle function module, including handle, washer and screw. The foregoing nut and shaft have been changed to a screw to fasten the handle on the outer door from the inside. The length of the screw shaft is same as the screw shaft foregoing shaft. The foregoing handle has been changed to a new handle. The tow ends of it with tow screw holes that are deeper than the foregoing tow, and there is more screw thread on the inner surface of its screw hole.

After one time assembly the new handle function module will be done, but the old handle need twice assembly. The new assembly process is easier for worker and the cost of the parts model will be decreased.

Now I have an english lesson each week, it is supplied by our company. Our boss hoped to improve our english ability in order to make all of us can work with our foreign confreres well next year. There is an American teacher is teaching us in the working time by one hour of working day. Although it is not the full time study, the feeling is nice to learn from the American teacher, because of the study that can be used in the daily working time. Our American teacher always trys her best to develope our thinking and learning ability. For example, a exercise for a new design idea to make our life easier, whatever we can think about.

These days there is a GPS(global people system) system is working, that for human resources management in our company all over the world. It is importan for our future career, but I need  to do my best to learn continuously in the next ages, including the professional and communication ability also the english study.

Some my confreres will go to USA for business and learing, there is our  parent company, there is some chance to go abroad each year for domestic confreres. I hope I can get the chance next year. But the first thing is to learn english well now. Last week some american confreres came to Shenzhen for business, after communicating with them I found my english ability is not enough good.

Are you please with your prsent job? Do you like your present job? What and why ? I think every worker need to answer it. Now I try to answer these questions about my present job. Generally speaking, I like my pesent job. There are about three reasons that I like my job. Firstly, our company is one of the top 500 of the world. I think the management system are better than most of the domestic companies. The good management can increase our work efficiency many times. I am felling more free and happy than my past job, I can keep good mood to work each day. Secondly, there are a lot of chance to increase my knowledge and capability.I can learn from every member of our team, because we a cooperative team. Particularly, it is a good chance to improve my English and there are much chance let me to do exercise. Finally, I can get more salary than the past job and it will decrease a little my present life stress in the city. But, every job can not be perfect for one people, also including my present job.

The first vacation of mid-autumn from this year in China about three days additionally weekend.Today is the third day of this vacation,I went to another city to meet my sisters and my first niece.It is a big surprise when I saw my niece,she is only half pass one year old,but she is so high and so clever,also it is the second time to see her,the first time when I saw her she was a baby about 20 days. I taked many pictures for her,she showed all kinds of pose to cooperate with me.

       It is too hot,I did not go out but yesterday.I like winter more than summer,maybe I am from South China,each winter I have not felt much cold but it is every hot in summer about more four monthes. Such as this weather last for one week,I wish it rains as soon as possible.

       It is need to go to work again after three days and all of my colleagues need to reach the company early half an hour because of there will be many bosses include a global product corporation's vice-president who will go to our Tech center to check some jobs and know some information.

The Mid-Autumn is one of the most important traditional festival that is only  inferior to spring festival in China.People will ready a lot of food for the special festival,such as the most important thing is the moon cake.I still remembered when I was a young boy eating a cake was a so happy felling,because of there was no much money to buy the festival's food,about twenty years ago.Although there was no so much good food to eat compared with the present life,the felling of the mid-autumn festival is  better than now.Eating cake and enjoying the moon light together with families is the biggest  happy thing for the most people as me.Maybe most of the present city's children who can not felling the happy of the mid-autumn,they only know is a festival when they are off the school and because of the pollution in the city children have never saw the clear moon light all the year even the mid-autumn moon.I have never went back home spending the mid-autumn festival with my families because of learing and working,I was felling a little sorry in the mid-autumn night every year,all my missing only can through the call to deliver to my hometown.After reform and opening,the domestic economy of China have been flying,the modern constructions and minds became more and more but the traditional culture is being forgot.Maybe it the necessary way in the development to be modern.

Yesterday,one of my university classmates called me,and told me he wanted to change his present work.Then he told me he had received the interview notice from our company,so he asked me about the attention of the interview,and I also told him as much as I know.This afternoon my classmate came to our company for the interview about one hour,because of my being on duty I did not met him.Unfortunately,I heard somthing is not good about his interview,his show had not satisfied our team leaders,so his interview may be a fail.I know his English is better than mine and his study mark in the university were also better than mine,but after three years when we were leaving the university,the classmates who have got the better jobs most of them had not got the best study mark,but they have better general capability.For example,they have good communication and general knowlege,when they are joining in the society,most of them also have got good job.My past boss said what you learnt in the university is not very important after you work some years,when you change your position the experience is the most important.Well,it is time to break.Let me wish his good luck.  

These days my feeling is a little tired,not only the body but also my heart.The press of the job is not much now and I can finish the work easily,but I can feel some press that come from everywhere,about life and society.When we were a young boy the happy around us,I think most of people were so happy as me.After knowing more of the world ,the difficulties and unknowing of you is become bigger and bigger,so we must do our best to solve the problems that come from any place of your daily life and work.When we become a grown man,and most of us have lost our childhood heart and lost happy,so childhood is the most happy time of our life and so we can see the happy children around us.
