메이 크리스마스 오늘 밤은 平安밤입니다 근데 저는 영국문학시험이 있어. 중국에 평안밤에 사과를 먹는 걸 좋아해요. 친구끼리 서로 사과와 다른 선물을 받아요. 내일은 성탄절입니다. 또 시험이 있어요. 내일 오전에 고급 듣기 시험 있습니다. 그리고 1월 8일까지 시험이 끝낼 거예요. 여러분 꼭 저보다 더 즐거운 성탄절 있을 것 같은데요. ㅋㅋㅋ... 여러분 메리 크리스마스!

Enduring Motivation Today, after taking pictures with Rowena, my oral English courses of my undergraduate curriculum came to an end. During the past 2 years, I have encountered 3 foreign teachers of different teaching styles. When I was a freshman, there were 2 foreign teachers. Reed, from Connecticut, USA, taugh me writing, and Jesse, from Massachusett, USA, taught us speaking. Reed was more strict, and he often required us with American standard. He was very serious and careful about his job. Jesse was loose. His class was more casual. Jesse won't consider too much if his students were not so cooperative. Among all Jesse's classes, I remember very well that he had given us the topic "censorship" of the gov't for us to discuss and he showed us the movie "V for Vendetta". That made me feel that he was cynical. But anyway, he did well as a foreign teacher. Then, when I became a sophomore, Rowena became my foreign teacher. She was from the Philippines. At first, I felt that she was not so native in speaking English, but her performance later proved that I was wrong. She looks cool, especially with her sun-glasses. She was a woman with a lot of stories. I remember that she told us the story about her and her late husband, which was full of excitement, just like a movie. And she old us about her hardship in her life, which was touching. She was like an aunt, but she was strict, maybe because she was also an Asian. I really appreciate her for her love and loyalty to her job and her care and wish to her students. All in all, she was a good teacher. Time flies. My English study will go on and on. I will motivate myself in learning English all the way although my foreign teachers' classes ended. I believe here is a good place for me to keep an enduring motivation.

The Biggest Problem We Are Faced with Today The Biggest Problem We Are Faced with Today——Health Problem Recently, I was shocked by the news that a student died after running 1000 meters in PE class. This tragedy aroused my awareness of the health problem among college students. There is no doubt that health is of vital importance in our lives. With healthy bodies, we can do everything we are interested in and have more energy and opportunities to achieve our goals. On the contrary, we cannot perform well if our health is in trouble, and it will cost us a lot of money if we get sick. What's more, our parents, friends, and all those who love us will be worried about us. Nowadays, many college students love staying in the dormitory instead of exercising outside; staying up late instead of going to bed early; being exposed to the radiation of computer instead of warm sunshine...and so on. These are all responsible for the deteriorating health of college students. Health is the premise of happiness, the treasure of life, the foundation of achievement. So we all should cherish our health and have healthy lifestyles. Never let health problems block our persuit of happiness.
