An experience of talking with a foreigner
Today,we was having a history class on the sports filed while the foreign teacher in our school was sitting himself alone in a few distance away.It's about 5:00p.m.and the sunshine was so gently.I guessed he was enjoying it.All of us noticed him,and I felt so excited that I couldn't focus on my class,hoping it could over as soon as possible.(I don't know why every time I meet foreigners I always feel so.) Fortunately,our history teacher was unwilling to give a class too.The class was over soon.Honestly speaking,I have been thinking several times how to start a conversation with the foreign teacher. I even dreamed about him.In the dream,I finally made the first step,with encourage filled,having a talk with him.but he was very unfriendly in the dream,which made me feel upset.When I woke up next morning, I was in a bad mood.After all,it's a bad dream,right? Okay, Let's go on to the things that happened in the evening.At that time,I set my mind and was about to head for him alone,to ask if I could have a talk with him when my classmates requested our monitor to invite him to come here and have some games together.And he accepted the invitation.We were sitting in circle,so the monitor asked him to sit in the center.He rejected the proposal because of his shyness.He can't speak Chinese,even a little,and our spoken English is poor as well.So we had language barrier between us so that he couldn't understand the rule of the game we wanted to play with him.Eventually,the monitor and a couple of my classmates and I surrounded him,asking him some questions,for example,we asked him if he could tell us something about his hometown England.But he only told us where was he from,and then said nothing.We had to ask more questions to keep the conversation.But he always answered only one word or as brief as possible.For example,when other student were left.He said yes in response to my question if he wanted to learn Chinese.And I asked further:"so I am wondering if we can make a language exchange.He answered "Maybe".Can I suppose it unlikely that we can make one? And when I was talking with him,he always looked other places,making me feel that he wasn't listening to what I said.Before saying good bye,I said directly I didn't think he was a good talker,he answered he had a headache.At that moment,I understood why he said not much.But I still felt that he was not very friendly,just as what I had dreamed.Do you think so?

modal verbs
"can" "could" "may" "might" "must" "ought to" "should" "will" "could" when they mean "possibility",is there any difference?
For example:
"He may/might/could be in the library"
"He can be very friendly at times"
"We must be back by ten o'clock"
"He ought to be home by now"
"It 's ten o'clock.The football game should begin now"
"It's ten o'clock.Janet will be paris now"
"It would be about ten when he left home"
They are so similar,right?

There have..
I saw a sentence in my grammar book,which made me puzzled.
“There have been demands that they be given more free time.”
I remembered that my English teacher had told me “there” cant be used with "have" together.
Thank you very much

Lessons of "Titanic"
Today,I want to share a reading material I read in my English exam with you.It's about some lessons the writer learned and some truths of life she concluded from the movie "Titanic".
The writer saw a little girl wearing a T-shirt with the word "Titanic" written on the front when she was dropping her son at school,which led to her thinking.At the beginning,realizing the girl should belong to a class team called "Titanic",she felt puzzled why the students would name thier team "Titanic" and expect it to be successful.She concluded some truths of life by analysing the reason why Titanic sunk.In her view,the ship sunk due to a combination of many reasons.To start with,the owner of the ship assumed his ship was too modern and too solid to sink.This was the first mistake.And then she led to the first truth of life.In life,nothing is guaranteed.Life can change in the twinkling of an eye and however prepared you are,you might need to cope with the possibility of a sinking ship .Mistake number two was that the ship had more people on board than the lifeboats on the ship could carry.From this mistake,the truth of life is that never bite off more than you can chew--like somebody said:"Nobody looks attractive when spitting it back out."
At the last,she made a final conclusion and light the topic:the lessons we can learn from"Titanic"also go for relationship:Those overconfident attitudes and lazy tendeneies are icebergs waiting to hit and sink your ship.Keep in mind that confidence is good but overconfidence always drops the ship down in the end.
To be honest,I never think we could learn other things from"Titanic" expect romantic.Therefore,when I finished my reading,I thought I learned a lot from this article:Not only the truth of life she mentioned,but also how to understand things from new and different angle.
Thank you very much

About reading
Recently,(Should I have to use present perfect when I use"Recently"?)I am reading the masterwork:"Pride and Prejudice".I read the book very slowly,because there are many things I can't understand.Maybe it's because there are some grammar I dont know.It is extremely different from our reading materials used in school.It describes stroies so flexible while our reading materials do it very seriously.I can easily understand our reading materials,but I cant understand what English books and English native speakers'writing want to express.
Could you tell me why?

Respect others’ privacy
There are many differences between chinese culture and western culture.
What impressed me most is that attitude towards personal privacy.
Although china stands for a culture of excellence,it also has many things make me sick.The most thing is chinese people’ attitude towards personal privacy.
I used to heard that if you ask western people where they are going or have you eaten yet is impolite.I cant agree this more! In china,That is very common in daily life,especially in countryside,which even becomes social gaffes.Even though some people ask so unintentionally,it makes me uncomfortable.I think it is none of the askers business.But when I heart western people greet to each other by talking about the weather,I felt strange about it.
Let me give you some examples.To start with,when I
receive my parcel,my friend always ask me what I bought.The second,once I was off for a day,my friend asked me what I had done at home next day.
It really burned me up!So I think respecting others’ privacy is important in relationship.

My monthly exam
Today,we are having a monthly exam,including six subjects.(Math,Chinese,English,Politics,Geographyand History )This tme,I am very calm and dont take it as a thing,while other students in our grade are anxious about it.What makes me can be bland treatment to the exam is the two exams last term.
I dont mean that they make me familiar with exam.It is two different feelings that they gave me making me changed.
The first time I did very well in the exam.In other words,I almost became the first.The total mark came out in a way different from what was.It was really beyonded my expectation.People around me complimented me.My history teacher who even doesn't remember my name before said to me I was very excellent face to face.My English teacher who never taught me and was look down upon my English ability looked me with appreciation.My Chinese teacher asked me if my mon would prepare a fancy dinner for me.My dad who we didn't communicate much in the usual also gave me a red packet by wechat.Although I wasn't conceited with the marks,I really enjoy the praise.Several weeks later,we have the second exam.This time I was extremely failed.My master teacher said to my mon that I always be pride and don't know how to act modestly.All people around me began to make fun of me.Only myself know what the problem was.It was the product of my emulation.It makes me too nervous during the exam and the progress of preparing.I cared the place in the competition too much.Now I finally know the key to get satisfied marks is to treat ranking with usual mind.
Alright,there is the last exam in the afternoon.It is my favorite English!Wish me luck.

Every year’s spring outing
The day after tomorrom, we all students which are studying in the same grade are going to have a spring outing.It makes me realize the spring outing last year.
It was a month later than this time.And my classmates havent been divided to different classes.Although I had only some friends in the class,the others were not familiar,I still quite looked forward to the trip.We went to a place where there is full of flowers.It is a attraction for adults,but is extremely boring for us.On arriving there,many of my classmates explained.However,even through they said so,they still begun to take selfies together.Some of them had only a bowing acquaintance with each other,but they also take a picture together.I dont know if this is common in other countries,or I think so just because I am introverted.
Then we had a lunch together in a park.Because the price of food there is expensive,we took it from our home.And in the park,we met a group of pupils which were from other city,who were having a spring outing that day,too.Maybe we were from different citys,so our character was extremely different.They were so outgoing and enthusiastic that taking with them was absolutely a joy.Other things I cant remember.But the most delighted time isn't this time.That is when I was a ninth grades student who were outing and lively and was on good terms with a lot of my classmates.Until now,two years later,we were still hanging out together whenever we had leisure time.As I was upset or was under stress of stud, cant take a breath,I will fill with energy again after having fun with them.From my experience,I can easily draw the conclusion that whether a spring trip is fun depends who you enjoy it with.
Thank you for correcting my writing.

I finally found English’s beauty
Several weeks ago,I had a crush on IELTS.I wanted to take the exam in order to prove myself.Just because of some false pride.So I learnt English as long as I had time.Everywhere,Everytime.I spent so much time on English,but my English ability didn't improve,even a bit.Now,I realized I was wrong.I shouldn't take English as a subject,as a thing to win others admire.Only when I enjoy it,will I learn it well.And I find it really interesting.
