Meteor shower

     Last Thursday I had heard the news that there would be a meteor shower at night, and I was really excited to know this information. I decided to view this rare occasion with my own eyes, so I invited my friend to join my action. We rode a motorcycle to the site called "wang kao liao," where is part of the mountain and is less polluted by light so that we could see the beautiful sky more clearly. As we arrived there, there still had a lot of clouds in the sky. But as the time went by, the clouds had disappeared gradually, and the dark sky with uncountable stars had appeared progressively. We lay on the ground to find a good posture preparing for the coming meteor shower. The first meteor appeared just in a sudden when I was chatting with my friend. I felt a light shining cross the sky suddenly, so I turned my head towards the direction that the light appeared immediately. I couldn't describe how stunning it was when the star crossed the dark sky in words, and the only thing I did is shouting at that amazing moment. How lucky I was to see such a wonderful scene, of course, I caught this fortune and made a wish at that moment I saw the meteor. I had seen a meteor before in Lyudao, but this experience is really my first time to see so many meteors at one time. Although the meteors were not falling down like the rain falling which the movies always showed us, but I was still very happy to take part in this astronomical event. It is really a special experience.

Life of Pi

     I went to theater last Friday afternoon to watch the movie, "Life of PI." It is a story about a boy survived 227 days from a shipwreck that in the Pacific Ocean with a tiger named Richard Parker. At the beginning of the movie when it was introducing Pi's childhood, I felt a little boring and almost fell asleep. But the following plot attracts me a lot, it shows how Pi deal with the days that he has to make himself much stronger, that he has to encourage himself not to give up his hope, and also that he has to make himself believe that he has the chance to survive.
     In the end of the movie, Pi had told two totally different stories. I felt very confused, couldn't understand what is the story wants to tell us, and also couldn't bear which story is the real situation. Today, my classmate told me that the second story is true. I was stunning when I heard she said because the second that Pi told is too cruel to believe. And there are also a lot of symbolization mentioned in the novel, but in the movie, the director use distinct way to film to express to show. I decided to buy the novel to fully realize what the story is talking about so that I can figure out why the director use this kind of shots in the second time I watch it. I think it is a good story that worth me reading it deeper and I think I will love the story.

a new sight of college life

     I can recall how painful I was at the beginning of college life, but it's totally different now. I have changed my attitude toward the college life that I already have. Instead of being hate of it, I try to appreciate it. Instead of rejecting it, I start to develop my interest in it. Instead of being upset about it, I begin working hard to do it well. I can't explain reason why my attitude change so magically, but everyone blesses me whoever has heard this. After chatting with my tutor, I think I will be more vigorous in learning. I hope I will find the thing that I really want to do. As the teacher tell me that college for her isn't a waste of time and money, it's a good place for us to think more about what we truly desire to pursue.

time management

     I think the most important thing that we should learn in college is time management. Since we have been a college student, teacher will no more ask us to do what he or she want you to accomplish. We must be our own teacher to remind ourselves of the task we need to finish, to force ourselves to complete the things on time, and to supervise ourselves to do things in a correct way. It seems that the time we have is always not enough, so we need to learn how to manage our own time well. Remove the extra activities is the thing that I think I must do first as the beginning of a good time manager. Find a balance between entertainment and schoolwork is quite important too. I hope I can manage my time well and won't waste any time from now on.

Cheerleading Competition

     One month ago, we began to prepare for the coming competition of cheering squad which is an important event in our department. At first, I still hesitated about whether to join it or not because It was afraid that I couldn't afford the pressure of practicing playing basketball and my schoolwork. Fortunately, I decided to take part in the activity so that I could share the wonderful and perfect achievement with my classmate.
     Although I am poor at dancing, I tried my best to memory the dance steps the coach had taught us and to practice making my dance look powerful. What's more, I also had to practice the special skills with other boys to surprise the audience. It was a hard process when we were practicing because we were all unfamiliar with dancing not to mention to the cheering dance. But the progress we had made really encouraged us to pay much time on practice and eased our stress and weary. We first dance without vigor and power, but we could dance neatly and powerfully after we work hard. By the way, we separated all the members into several small groups so that everyone could be taken good care by the leader and have the best effect. I couldn't do the special skill well and didn't finish the action successfully until the day before the competition, even though I spent the extra time practicing it. Eventually, we performed well without mistakes on the competition day which was so pleased us. No matter whether we would get prize or not, it's worthy. At the moment announcing that we are the top six of  seventeen participating teams, I could hardly believe it and I screamed excitedly for at least five minutes. Some classmates also cried happily.
     Because the majority is girl in our department, we couldn't do so much difficult and complex skills like others. So the only way to make us success is our orderly dance, the variation of our formation, and the creativity. Our great effort did finally be seen, and get the forth prize in this competition. This prize not only proves our hardworking but also brings our department back to honer after two years. It really a special and unforgettable experience inclusive of both the effort I made and the wonderful achievement I get that I will cherish it forever.

A tired schedule

     This week I have a tight schedule because of practicing for the competition of cheer squad and basketball. I need to set up my time appropriately so that I can finish my homework on time and have extra time to focus on my lessons.
     My body felt a lot ache because I always make it over used. The thing that I have strong will to do is to sleep without  botheration and wake up by myself.

the coming comprtitions

     It's already one month since I started my new life in the college. I think I get better used to this period of my life. I had a brilliant life during this month. Besides the courses we take, we also have a lot of interesting activities when getting out of class.
     Recently, there are many competitions for freshmen inclusive of the contest of cheering squad and the sports competitions. I take part in both of them and have to spend much time practicing them. Although it may make me feel very tired, I still keep my mind bright, try my best to do better and better, and also expect the final day of these competitions. I think these activities will make the relationship between my classmates and I much closer. We will share the result together no matter whether we win or lose and enjoy the process of our advance. I've tried many things I never do before like sitting on a boy's shoulders, standing on two girls' leg, and also dancing energetically. These games are going to hold on next week and I really look forward to the coming days.

Automobiles

Automobiles are the most common transportation in our daily life. Some people may be curious about who the inventor of these useful vehicles was, or when and how they produced.Most scholars thought that the German engineer, Karl Friedrich Benz, was the first inventor of automobiles. He and another German engineer called Gottlieb Wilhelm Daimler respectively invented the first tricycle in 1886 and the first four-wheel vehicle in 1889, both of whom are called “the father of automobiles”. By the way, Karl Friedrich Benz was also the person who made automobiles popularized.As the economy is getting more and more prosperous in these days, we need more and more transportation to travel, to explore, and to develop. To compare with so many kinds of transportation, automobiles are more flexible and convenience. We can not only drive the car whenever we want but also go wherever we would like to visit. That is why we so deeply depend on automobiles.
Although automobiles bring us many advantages, it also causes some serious problems like air pollution that make our living space endangered. As a result, we should think more clearly to keep the balance between our achievement and the environment.

a brand new life

     I felt very nervous at the beginning of my colleague life because I was going to start a totally different life by myself. I must learn to do housework, take care of myself, and deal with everything about my life. That is a challenge for me because I am always protected by my dear parents, but I think I can get used to my new school life now. There are many different kinds of things waiting for me to try, to enjoy, and to have fun. I am interested in basketball so I decided to join the basketball team as a manager helping deal with trivial matters inclusive of measuring time when player are running, recording how the players performed in the matches, and running errands for the players when they need much water to drink. By the way, I am going to play the freshman competition of basketball on early November. I feel excited about that and I will practice very hard with my partners, all of us wanting to have a perfect result and trying our best to achieve our glory.
