I cannot persist in writing diaries for two days I am really lazy, because I have not written a diary for two days on Italki. I swear I will do that tomorrow. Laziness can kill me. So I should work hard, otherwise I will perform worse in the next English test. Forgive myself tonight.

Do you like mountain climbing When it comes to my favorite outdoor activity, I'd like to talk about mountain climbing. Although I'm still afraid of height, I'd love to climb the mountain near our university, because the scene is really eyecatching. My friends and I went to there about twice a month, and we could enjoy the fresh air, the sight seeing of the beautiful bamboo forest and the tasty food in local restaurants when we reached the peak of the mountain. I said the food is delicious, because the cooking technique is very good and edible materials are produced by the residents on the mountain. On the other hand, we could also play mahJong during the time we waited the dishes, which is considered to be the most funny part of the whole activity. Generally, climbing the mountain always costed us 5-6 hours, and finally we were exhausted, but I felt happy and refreshed after climbing it, since nearly every cell in my body was activated, and full of energy. Hence, I could work more efficiently during work days.

a greatest inventor- Thomas Edison I'd love to talk about Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors in the world, who had over 2,000 inventions and more than 1000 patents. I knew some of the information about Edison when I was in elementary school. My teacher talked about some interesting stories about celebrities. When it came to Thomas Edison, I was really amazed by not only the number of his inventions, but also the importance, because the bulb used in everyone's house is one of his work. And because of this invention, people can work more efficiently these days, and can enjoy their leisure time at night. Actually, I learned more about this greatest inventor when I was an undergraduate. His success in innovation and business encouraged me to keep an optimistic attitude to life when I was frustrated, and his experience told me that recognization of one's talent and interests is really important for people to choose their career, because you can make use of your potential efficiently after realising it.

Maybe I should take an English course When it comes to the course I'd love to learn, I think it is English. As you know, English is worldwide used, and also a basic requirement for studying or living abroad. In my country, nearly all students can take English courses when they are in secondary school. Take me for example, I started to English when I was 12. However, unlike native speakers, I began with vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing, instead of speaking. I rarely practiced oral English during the courses when I was in high school. And now I find my oral English is very poor, even though I got desired scores in some tests. Itaki offers good chances to me to get in touch with many foreigners, or even professional teachers. Hence, I'm really grateful to this platform. I'm eager to study overseas for further study. So I should pass the relevant exam quickly, or else I will miss the deadline of application.

The only photo I took when I was a child Although the photo I took when I was in primary school is kept in my hometown, I still can remember the sceney when I took it. And it is the only picture about my previous appearance and my childhood. I had two good friends at that time, and the photography was not advanced as these days. After school, we went to the small forest behind our school for recreation, and we found our arts teacher was taking scenery pictures there. He smiled and asked us if we want to take a photo for memory. It was the first time I seen the cemera, so I was a bit nervous when I was taking the photo. Every time I look at the photo, I will recall the situation: a liitle boy stood in front of the lense, with a reluctant smile. As time goes by, people rarely use the printed version of photo, but the photo in my albume seems pretty good.

A controvensial topic about the right of animal In recent years, there has been much controversy over the cultivating of animals for feeding. In the past, The ancients lived in a harsh environment, fighting against the beast and hunting for living. As the cultivating technology developed, our ancestors tended to plow, or feed some animals such as pigs and chicken as food resources. The animal right folks view the cultivation of animals for food as a brutal behaviour. A large proportion of these people are vegetarian, and they always claim that the animals, even meat pigs have the same right as humans to live in a free environment, and cannot be killed for pork at will. The domestic animal is also a life, and it has emtions, and should be treated equally. Conversly, those who consume a lot of meat everday may think that the dishes made from meat are really tasty. They have spent a lot of time and materials on cultivating these meat animals, thereby treating them as a source of food is reasonable. Another viewpoint is that humans have been at the top of the food chain, so they can eat what they want to. If the pig live in the jungle, they will be killed by other big cats such as tigers as well. In my view, I think the cultivation of tamed animals as edible materials is reasonable, and is just a consequence of competition in the nature world. However, hunting or killing the endangered creature should be banned, since they are also invaluable.

Lion - a strong predator When it comes to wild animal, I'd like to talk about the lion, a type of bige cat and social hunter. Lions are commonly regarded as "the king of the jungle", and live in the jungle or on the African savanna. With nearly the weigh of 300 pounds and the length of 1.5 meters, the big cats all have golden fur and four sharp paws, and are slightly smaller than tigers. However, the male lions are larger than the females, and also possess an iconic mane. These features can make you easily distinguish them. Their mouth and paws are considered to be the most useful tool for hunting. They usually prey on herbivore, such as deer and zebra. When they work, the female lions enclose the target, and attack it. While the male lion is usually responsible for security of the pride. Hence, I am really interested in this creature, since the awareness of teamwork of the lion really inspires me,, and teach me how to work efficiently in a group.

A comedian- Stephen Chow As you may know, Stephen Chow, a great comedian and also a director in China, had produced a number of films in the last two decades, and most of which were released in 1990s. He is keen on creativity and Kungfu, which had also been presented in his works. Although I'd already watched his early movie Flirting Scholar on TV when I was a little boy, I couldn't recognise this famous actor at that time. After I graduated from university, I had a lot of free time to enjoy his movies, and I'd known this talented actor, because of the decelopment of computer technology. I'd like to tell you that one of my favorite movie is From Beijing With Love. In this movie, Chow acted as a creative and funny spy who had been negelected by the local authority several years. So he earned his life by selling pork in a small market. But one day, the biggest fossil of dinosaur skull in China was stolen, and would be sold, and he was re-employed by the local authority to take the treasure back. He showed a variety of his creations in this film. And what impressed me most is his shoe, which is also a drier. As he said, he could dresse him up at any time without an additional drier with him, and the appearance was very important for a spy. Another invention is his cell phone, which is also a shaver for shaving his beard at will. However, I think these gadgets are useless for his job. As a spy, he should know how to use a gun, but he did not. He just used his knife to beat the criminals, taking the fossil back. I think Chow may use this to present that he is a fan of Kungfu.

My favorite flower Instead of rose, I'd love to talk about lotus, a plant signifies purity and clean. This flower is usually cultivated in a pool, or even silt at times. The size of the flower is larger than many other flowers, and nearly all of the petal in China is pink, which seems lovely after a rain, since the water droplet on the petal looks very clean. This scenery will refresh you from a tiring afternnon, if you watch it carefully. Unlike other flowers, the leaves of lotus can also be used as medicine in China, which is another reason I like it very much. Additionally, the root of this plant, is a popular kind of food in China. You can sample a wide variety of cuisines, which are made from lotus root in local restaurants. The most popular one may be Lotus Root & Pork Soup. Due to the unique surface properties of the lotus leaf and petal, its water-repealling property has attracted a lot of scholars, and me too.
