A trip to Bangkok
Last week, some friends and I went to Bangkok and Koh Samet in TaiLand for a 7 days trip. We only need to wear the shorts due to the hot weather there. We took four days in Bangkok for the tourist attractions like Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun and so on. There are so many incredible religious buildings and holy statues with mysterious historical stories which will make people filled with full of respects. Then we went for some walk randomly to see the daily life in Bangkok which makes me feel Thais are friendly. We got kind helps from the local people whenever we were confused by the roads. but the traffic is as bad as in Beijing that we had to keep alarm all the time when we cross a road. One point a little better than Beijing that is the drivers have more patience to wait when you are on the crosswalk. Then we arrived Koh Samet which is a beautiful island after nearly 4 hours drive. We took a motor boat to travel around the island and stay for a while on a beach for seeing the sunset. It was a good trip. Hoping the next trip with my friends.

About Critical Thinking
I started to read a book about Critical Thinking last week. Because I often hear this word in recent years but don't know what on earth it is. In the first chapter of the book, it introduces two ways of thinking: Sponge Thinking and Gold Panning Thinking.
Sponge Thinking means your way of thinking is similar to the reaction when sponge meets the water: absorption. You can benefit from it for learning new informations, but the bad side is that you will believe the last info you hear or read without your personal reasoning. So this is where Gold Panning Thinking comes in. The key point of Gold Panning Thinking is gaining the most reasonable conclusion by asking correct questions. Just like gold panning, you will gain the gold only if you filter the impurities.

My first class in italki
I had my first class just now. I felt very nervous, because it's my first time to speak English to a native English teacher online. It's totally a new experience to me, so I felt more excited than nervous. But I always find I would forget what I've learned before when I speak, the words, phrases and grammar, I don't have the time to think how to use them correctly in a conversation while I can do better when I write. Anyway, I will persevere in studying and practicing English with the help of teachers and friends, because I believe great English skills will help me open my eyes to see the world, to know more people with different cultures, to let me be a global citizen with critical and freedom thinking.
