My plan to Beijing during National Day. I decide to go to Beijing for 3 or 4 days, using as little money as possible and enjoy the journey. So, after long deliberation, my companionans and I plan to leave for Beijing at the night of 29, September by train and doubtless come back by train as well to save money. These days, we have began to search information on the internet to find the best routes once we have free time , so that we won't waste unnecessary money and time when we are in Beijing.

My oral English teacher, David. Have you ever heard Benjamin Franklin? When I read his story in the library today, I found the experience in his early years is quite similar to my aral English teacher, David. Benjamin Franklin worked as a pressman in his early youth, for his father had 17 children and couldn't afford his education. However, he read a great many books ranged over various areas during that time, which led a great success to him afterwards. My teacher David was also such a kind of man but reserved and strict with us. He learned French and Spanish by himself when he had the chance back to colleage to further his education. (Is it easy for a native English speaker to learn European languages in such a short time? As we still haven't learn English well for years.) Like Benjamin Franklin, David like reading. (He has emphasized the importance of reading many times in class.) That might account for his unigue views on everything happened around him. Besides, he know much more about China than us sometimes. He can point out what has happened recently in every province from which we come without any difficulty.(But making mistakes as well sometimes.haha.) What a knowledgeble person I look upon on! Now, you might understand how delighted am I when I was praised by him. :-D

To err, to be mature The following is a piece of homework I did several days ago, after reading an essay called "fresh start". To err, to be mature This essay tells us a girl's embrassing moment during her first days at colleage and her changed view after those incidents. While reading this article, you might find it obvious that Evelyn was quite strick with herself and tried to do everything perfectly without any mistakes in the beginning. She pretended to be mature in order to not err. Was she right? Of course not and even totally wrong. The real maturity only grow after a series of mistakes but not before them. Evelyn had put the order reversed. And that was indeed the biggest mistake she had ever made. Everyone would feel anxious when he/she was put into a new environment. You have no idea what will happened next and whether is right to sit in the foreground or background. You might created some unforgettable comedy and had a great many unexpected audience. Does it matter? To err is human and the way to be mature. The audience who watch your comedy today were probally good actors in their early years, maybe even far better than you. Now, they sit there, laughing and joking. It seems that you can not find any bitter from their smilling faces, which they did have sufferred but forget or hide in mind. That's the real maturity, after various errors you went through. (The homework might be a little boring and not about something interesting thing happened in daily life. Sorry, and thanks for reading.)

Should I change my English name? I have come across many girls called Daisy in my majoy last year when I was a freshman. Becouse of that, most of my foreign teachers can not tell who is this Daisy and who is that Daisy. One the contrary, those who has a impressived name is easy to be remembered. Should I change my English name? Is there any other fit for me? My family name is Lin in China and I'm appreciated that the new name will not be so complicated.:-D Thank you for giving me your advice, I'm glad to know all ideas from you. Thanks.:-D Anyway, is there any other word to describe a optimistic mood, like "ha“. I usually can not find other word to show that I'm in a good mood and glad to do something. ha

I came back to my university from my hometown yesterday The day before yesterday, I said goodbye to my family and left Fuzhou for Jinan by rail car at 7 am. After 13 hours, I arrived in the Jinan west railway station, tired and sleepy. Then, I took bus to Jinan railway station with two of my friends and waited in KFC beside the station for almost 4 hours.Finally I set into the old train in 00:40 and arrived in Weihai after 8 hours.I was so tired but I had to tidy up my dormitory, so I could not go to bed for a rest. It seemed terrible but was expected.
