A Tiring And Tough Day Today I have a tiring and really tough day. I took a part-time job about questionnaire interviewing and attitude measurement for a food company, which has something to do with my major. I hoped to learn some practical things through this. However, In contrast with my expectation, our work went quite wrong and difficult. My agreement with the supervisor was to complete 30 pieces in one day. But the clients demanded 50 today, adding my pressure while the pay remained unchanged. Still I took the task, despite my lacking experience. My partner, a middle-aged woman (or in a fashionable way, "a Chinese dama" , I call her aunt Guo ), and I should have asked 50 people very carefully and write down their answers. Aunt Guo's job was to invite interviewees and mine was to interview them. But there were too many questions on one questionnaire paper ( about 50 questions including seven or eight open questions! @﹏@ ), and we didn't have enough time and energy to finish it. My workmate, Aunt Guo (she's very experienced and familiar with the work) , was very unwilling to do this, complaining about the difficulty and the poor reward. She didn't want to waste time asking so many things one by one. So she just asked the interviewees' names and phone numbers and recorded some other questions, leaving most of the questions to me to finish. And I filled in 41 papers! Pretending I were the "41 people" with 41 names, ages, jobs and tastes for food! And I had been doing this silly and meaningless thing for almost 6 hours, sitting in a corner in a restaurant, killing my brain. Aunt Guo left at 2 pm. I left at about 5 pm, then took a bus back to the supervisor's company. The traffic was terrible, and the bus is horribly crowded (poor traffic for China cities! ). I really don't appreciate this work now. I ate too many crisps that I even felt sick. These crisps were supposed to be given to the interviewees to taste. Unfortunately, I have to go on with it for one more day tomorrow!

Life's going on It's becoming warmer in Hangzhou. A good sign for spring. I hate the rainy and windy and cold days here. Winter of this city will wear down your passion and energy to achieve what you want. I've been back at school for almost one month, yet I'm still confused and aimless. With less courses and more free time, sometimes I just don't know what I should do. Maybe I want too much, but I don't have a practical plan. Time and tide wait for no man. I must face up the challenge and work hard. I want to have a good job. I want to have a healthy and strong body. I want to make enough money to support my life. I want to see the world outside this city, outside this province, outside of this country. Life is still going on and I must keep pace with it.

The Hobbit Films I love films, and today I'm going to talk about one of my favourite film series THE HOBBIT. I watched THE LORD OF THE RINGS films on TV when I was very young( I was at primary school ). I might not get what the films meant, but the fascinating story and the fabulous scenes impressed me very deeply. And when I watched the film THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY last year, suddenly recalling my memory of the great story, I was touched again. The storyline, the shooting style, the performance of characters, the 3D visual effect, and even the music, are amazing and full of magic. I felt just like met a familiar but brand new friend after many years' parting. And I couldn't wait to watch THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG when it was shown in mainland China last month. It was great. There were some characters, like Bilbo, Thranduil, and Legolas , drawing my attention all the time. The films also made me to get interested in the original books THE HOBBIT and THE SILMARILLION. I'm reading them now. Tolkien was a great writer, and Peter Jackson is a creative and energetic director. I think the imagination displayed by them is really a valuable fortune for us all.

Writing is good way to help people think! I love reading stories, this provides different perspectives of the world. I also like writing, though I don't have much time to write. I admire many writers, Shakespare, Mark Twain, J.R.R.Tolkein, J.K.Rowling, etc. I hope I can write something excellent in English someday. I'll be glad if anyone can help me with my writing. If you want to learn Chinese, I can also help you.
