a bird egg
This morning I saw a bird egg on my window sill outside. There is no nest no bird but a egg. I don't know much about bird's habits but my sense told me it was abnormal. And an egg couldn't be a bird in that environment. I was curious what made the bird leaving the egg on a sill. I took a picture and sent it to my friend. She felt surprise and interesting too. But she sent me back a photo which was someone's hands was holding an egg. The egg had already hatched and a small snake tried to come out. The creepy photo made me feeling uncomfortable. All of a sudden I thought of the egg on my sill. Would it a snake egg? But I denied myself quickly. It was impossible. In my mind a snake couldn't climb to the small, second floor sill and left an egg there. Thought of that, it made me fell much easy.

what will you do when you don't remember how to spell a word while you are writing?
when I write something and I don't remember the Chinese characters, I will write down Pinyin instead of. Later I will check it online or in dictionary. Pinyin is the way how Chinese characters pronounce and it helps me to remember which character I wanted to write. I'm wondering in English what you will do when you don't remember how to spell a word?I'm wondering if you let it be empty or use a word instead of or another way to remind you which word you wanted to write.

Do you think if you are able to be alone then you won't fell lonely?
I watched a TED lecture recently. It was a psychologist's speech which talking about her research on the relationship of human being and virtual community.
I was attracted by its name which is "keep in touch but still lonely." she was worried about the situation that people were used to connect on virtual community by various devices instead of real conversation. They felt uncomfortable while having a real conversation or real connect because one couldn't control what they were going to say or showed themselves the best side. But in the virtual world, they could go in and out all the places they wanted. People would fell less anxious or felt alive because they could consider the digital assistant "like best friend, someone who will listen when others won't."
When I listened the words, I felt very sorrow for ourselves. Why we were lonely but afraid of real talk? Why we surfed online but ignored our family? Why we couldn't pay attention on something long time but easy felt boring? The psychologist wanted to give us the answer that she believed "technology appeals to us most where we're most vulnerable." One of the fantasies the virtual world gave us was "we will never have to be alone." For getting rid of the lonely feeling, people reached for the devise in their pocket. She suggested people that the best way to resist the lonely feeling is to be able to be alone. It sounded make good sense.
But not for me. I think I'm a person who is able to be alone. I'm not a tough woman but try to do my best to finish everything I need to do. I can spend whole day with friends chatting, playing. I also can stay at home alone whole week doing things what I like. I don't feel "anxious, panic or fidget" as she described. Actually I feel comfortable, freedom and relax. But, I do feel lonely. The lonely feeling comes from the fear and disappointment of losing the connection with other people and the world. So, the devise is really the best thing comforts me. It gives me chance to know and connect with the world. I agree with her that the technology appears me most where is the most of my vulnerable. I just doubt I really won't feel lonely any more if I'm able to be alone. Maybe I didn't touch the truly powerful of the ability of being able to alone.

muddy but warm weather
Today is warm, too warm that the snow which snowed the whole last night melted so fast. When I drove to a plaza, at the parking I almost couldn't get off the car. I was like walking in a puddle but the snow instead of mud. I shouldn't wear the black cotton boots which I bought recently. They are wet from outside to inside as well as my socks. From the white blotting on my shoes, I estimated that it must be salt which suppose to melt the snow in the water. I can't help but thinking if my socks are full of salt. Maybe do my foot. My foot which steeping in the salt cold socks was so uncomfortable. But compared the extremely cold weather several days before, I'd rather enjoy walking in the warm muddy street.

what's the difference with "quick" and "quickly"?
I have done a choice question. Your reading was _______(quick, quickly). I choose quickly and I was wrong. I realized it should use an adjective after be. When I checked dictionary, it says(do I need to use "said" here) that quick is an adjective. It is also an adverb same as quickly. what if they are both as adverb, which one should be used into a sentence?

What do you think of the contradiction of technological development and be unemployed?
I have watched all of the documentary named "American revealed". I have never so close to the process of American working. I was surprised by its high technology, high efficiency and professional dedication. My mostly interested topics are the manufacturing and electricity.
We all know manufacturing in America is diffirent than before. Those industry such as without high technology and needing lots of people were closed or transfer to other developing countries. Lots of goods which American people need in their daily life depend on inport. But one thing is the most export, paper. Like it was mentioned in the film: America export plenty of paper to China. When these paper turn to boxes, they inport these boxes back from China and use them to wrap other goods. It's so cheaper than produced in the U.S and maybe more profitable that America did it patiently. There are so much inport that people thought manufacturing died in the U.S. But it's not true. There are lots of new style, cutting-edge technology and creative industry came out. Scores of robots was used in factories. They are famous by high efficient and dependable. If you have lots of magnificent idea, you will find a jod in a big, famous company such as facebook, intel. And these companies are changing people's life and thoughts noiselessly. No wonder America always walks on the front of the world after World War Two.
Here is a question. What do you think of the contradiction of technological development and be unemployed? We all know high technology, innovation ability and good education are a token of a strong country. But when modernization and automation manufacturing don't need too much workers, that means lots of people lost their job. When lots of jobs just need learned and creative people, how about those people who have no chance to study or can't get rid of their life circumstance? When the economy is getting worse, who will be the biggest sufferer?

About bees
Recently I watched an interesting documentary named "American Revealed". There are four episodes which introduced how the country works on food, transportation, electricity and manufacture. The first episode named "American Revealed Food Machine" which mentioned the relationship between the bees and food. Farmers need this nature way to grow their pumpkins, blueberries, almonds and apples, etc. I just wonder is that the only option to pollinate by bees? Could it be that without bees we wouldn't eat fruits?
I learned a new term "colony collapse disorder". It seems an unsolved problem. Bees just disappeared with no reason or unknown reason. No one know whether they died or where they were. Someone guess that maybe the pesticide is the chief culprit.
Talking about bees, I recalled an interesting story in my childhood. I like catching a bee into my hand and felt the quiver with its body( or wing). I didn't want to hurt them. But sometimes they indeed were damaged somehow. Of cause, I got a lesson. One bee stung my hand. It defended freedom by its live. After that, I never did it. If I understood deeply at that time how important bees were for crops, I wouldn't do that.
