New Home, New Life

I moved to the new apartment yesterday. It was a new apartment which is really near my school. I like this room because it’s new and beautiful. In addition, I got two kind roommates, also are my friends right now. I was so tried today because I had moved my luggage three times. Thanks to my friend used his car to help me to move. However, his car is too small to put my entire luggage, so we had to move three times. We totally spent three hours to move. It was a really hard work. After the movement, I went to a sushi garden which was in Burnaby to eat lunch. I liked eating Japanese food, such as sushi, sashimi and sake. We ordered much food. Salomon sashimi, California roll, spicy tuna roll and so on. After a big lunch, I had to go back new home to organize my room. It was a fulfilling and tried day.

Get a Smart Brain

Brain is an organ of the body that controls thought and feeling. It’s real important for everyone. Somebody is smart because their brain is good to use. If you want to improve your brain, you should use your brain commonly. Everyone knows brain has two hemispheres. The right hemisphere manages the left side of the body and lift hemisphere manages the right side of the body. Most people’s left hemisphere is more developed than right hemisphere because most people always use right hand to eat and write. If you want to improve your brain, you should practice your left hand, such as write, eat, and do other things else. My uncle is a left-hand user. When he was young, he could not use right hand to do anything. Because he always used his left hand to eat and write, his left hand is much more flexible than right hand. In addition, you also can use your brain commonly, such as thinking, especially for studying. Everybody wants to have a smart brain, so let’s practice brain.

The God of Basketball---Michael Jordan

I am crazy about basketball. Since I was four years old, I have watched NBA games. I started to love basketball because of a person---Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was born in New York, Brooklyn in February17, 1963. He was good at playing basketball, when he was a child. In 1984, He was chosen by Chicago Bulls on third of first round after he graduated from University of North Carolina. He was a shooting guard, but actually he was very omnipotent. He could play any locality on basketball playground. In his first season, he won the best rookie depend on 28.2 points for every game. In June 12, 1991, Jordan led Chicago Bulls won the final game with Los Angeles Lakers. He got his first champion and first MVP. After that, he got his first three successive championships with Chicago Bulls in next three years. In November first, 1994, Chicago Bulls formally announced Michael Jordan and his number 23 polo shirt retired. Then Michael went to play baseball in Chicago White Sox, but he was not happy in the baseball team. After one year, he came back to Chicago Bulls and he wore a new number 45 polo shirt. Michael Jordan got his second three successive championships. In January 13, 1999, Michael Jordan retired again. During he was playing basketball in Chicago Bulls, he got five times MVP, six times champions, ten times score leader and twelve times NBA All Star. He finished his basketball his basketball life in Chicago Bulls. Maybe he couldn’t give up basketball, so he came back again in October 31, 2001, but this time he played in Washington Wizards. Michael was old. During he played two seasons in Washington Wizards, he was not very successful. After 2 seasons, Michael retired again and never come back. Even though he was not successful in Washington, he was successful for basketball. He is a myth. Many people start to like basketball because of him. He is my favourite basketball star.

Animal Communication---My Favourite Friends

Dogs, which are people’s the best friend. I love dogs! I had fed three dogs in my house. I have a big back yard behind my house, so my dogs can play in the garden. They always want to play with me and I also enjoy playing with them. We have our own way to communicate with each other. For example, if they are barking to me, it means they want to eat or go to washroom. If they are wagging their tail, it means they want to play with me. If they are clawing the door, it means they want to go out. They can also understand me. When I yell their name, they will come to see me as soon as possible because they think it’s lunch time. When I live in China, I always give them food twice a day. Once is in the morning, another is in the evening. For my first thing in the morning, I always feed them, so when they see me in the morning, they always bark to me, it means they are hungry. Also, when they see me come back from school, they bark to me, too. For our favourite game is when I throw a stick, they will catch it by their mouth. If one of them catches the stick, other two will try to grab the stick; sometimes they even fight with each other. I love my dogs. I want make them to be my friends rather than pets. We enjoy communicating with each other, it’s a really funny game.

Email---the Fashionable and Technology Letter Today

Email had already instead of letter totally. It becomes the most common communication tool except cell phone. Almost everyone has their own Email and use it very often. Email is more common in this time because it’s easy to use, fast, and safe. You can also save some information which some people sent to you or you sent to another people before in your Email. Most people think when we use Internet, we need to have general manners like to be polite, respectful and maybe to be cautious. To be polite is a basic manner even online but I think we don’t have to be honest because it’s not a real world. If you write your real information online, sometimes it’s unsafe. Most people mind another person use their personal information, such as name, experience and photos, so don’t put your real information on the Internet, especially on Email and face book. People think that when they send an Email, something is very important, such as address, contents and title. Most people think address is most important. I think when we send an Email, the emotion is also important. Some people usually regret after they send an Email to another person in angry because when you are angry or upset, you will write down some rude language or some words which you shouldn’t say in your Email. It will hurt your friends, break your friendship, and even lose your friends. Emoticons become more and more popular in this time. There are more and more people like to use emoticons when they chat with friends online because they think it’s lively and interesting. I think most people hate advertisement Email. Many people can receive many advertisement Emails every day, but most of them delete them without reading. Email is useful in our lives because of convenience. I prefer to use my Email, how about you?

Communication tool is very important for most people today; cell phone is the most commonly used by people. Most people think cell phone is popular and important for everyone, whatever their age or any particular place they live. People think cell phone has influenced their lives both in a good way and a bad way because it’s convenient to contact other people but many people addicted to it. Most people think cell phone is good for our lives and make our lives simpler. For example, we can use a cell phone to contact with anyone who has a cell phone, too in anywhere and anytime. It can make people do more communication with each other. However, a few people think cell phone is bad for their lives and makes their lives even more difficult, if we get addicted to it. Sometimes, you will get some assignments from your parents or your boss by cell phone, if it happens in your vacation, that’s so sad. Most people think we can use cell phone in public place without bothering others, but sometimes we can’t use it in some particular places and times, such as in a library, in a theatre, in the class or in the meeting. Cell phone is very important for almost everyone, it had become one part of our lives.

Various Classes in China and Canada

Class in China is different from class in Canada. In China, there are always many people in a classroom at least 40 students in a class. In the class, students have to sit on your seat decorously and can not move without agreeing by teacher, except emergency. Students should listen to teacher and take notes carefully. If you have a question or you can answer the teacher’s questions, you should raise your hand first and stand up to say something. Students always spend most time to listen to teacher and only have few minute to discuss with classmates in the class. In addition, there is always no drink and food in the class.
Class in Canada is much more flexible than class in China. Students do not have immobile seats. You can sit any seat you like and you can go out immediately. In Canada, students can ask questions and answer questions in any time, sometimes even stop teacher’s speaking. Unlike Chinese students, Canadian students always have much time to discuss with their classmates in the class. They even can speak and laugh loudly during the discussion. Canadian teachers prefer to give their students more time to discuss and let them find answer by themselves. Students even can drink and eat in the class, except in the computer library.

A Crazy Fad-------Play Station

People like to play in anytime, anywhere, and any reason. In addition, people always look for different ways to play, such as football, rubber band skipping, casino game and so on. There is a kind of play station which is made from Sony Company in Japan is very popular today. Sony Company produced many play products, such as PSP, PS2, PS3 and so on. Many people like them because they have very clear picture effect and perfect stereo audio. It feels very greater. However, they also have a blemish that is price. The play stations which made form Sony Company are much more expensive than other play stations, so a few people can not afford them; even through they really want to play them. These Play Stations are very popular this time, but who knows that how long they will be popular in next few year? Maybe they are only a fad.

Olymics in Vancouver

I was so exciting that I could watch Olympics again after Beijing 2008 Olympics game. Vancouver winter Olympics game is my second experience to watch Olympics and is my first experience to watch winter Olympics. It's much different from summer Olympics game. Hockey, skating, skiing and so on, so many sport items which are so exciting and wonderful and I never played before. I went downtown during the Olympics. I was amazed that there were so many people in downtown, and I even never saw there were so many people in Vancouver. It was so busy; we even need to stand in a line to take sky train that we never had to do before.
In February 28, I had gone through the most exciting thing in Vancouver Olympics. My roommates asked me to watch the hockey final game, Canada VS American. After almost 2hours, Canada finally won the champion. We were so exciting, almost crazy and my roommate bought a box of beer to celebrate we won the game, meanwhile; Canada which country won the most gold medals. At that night, we were all dunk. I was also happy because my home country, China also won 7 gold medals. That day is the last day in Vancouver Olympics.
