Ho~Ho~Ho~Hot~~


I NeEd AiR cOnDiTiOnEr !!!

Sooooooooooooo Hot today!!! It astonishes me that the summer in calgary is so HOT~~It is 31 degrees today. Staying in my room like staying in the oven. I am the poor turkey.

I miss the felling that 40 degrees outside, I lie in the room which has the air conditioner drinking ice tea and watching TV~~~ How happy I was. But now!!!! I sit in this such hot room, face my laptop, feel the heat from my laptop and miss the cool air from air conditioner.

However, I am lucky I live in a house. I can not believe how hot the apartment is. My friend tell me that everyday she visits her friends who live in the basements of houses and eat her supper there. Because she can not bear the heat in her apartment~~

I do not know how long the hot weather will last. I hope it will past ASAP!!!

I think some of you guys go back home after this term.
Good Luck!!

What is your favourite restaurant?


Hi guys! Look here~~~I have a question to you guys. Which restaurant do you think is the best in calgary?? In other words, what is your favourite restaurant?

As a international student who lives far away from family, we miss our homeland, especially the local flavour. The only way for us to satisfy a craving for local flavour is looking for a good restaurant and have a big meal. There are lots of reataurant in Calgary. For chinese students, they can find lots of chinese restaurant in chinatown.
I believe you have tried some of restaurant and you have one or two favourite. So, what is your favourite? Could you recommend it to me and introduce your favourite dishes please? We can share these information!

Attending Lecture~~I like the professor~~


Today I attending in a lecture, the professor, Peter Slezak, dealt with the topic World Regional Geography. The professor is very humorous. His words always let his student laugh. His humor let his students to be actively in this class. He lectured to the students clearly and effectively. There were about 150 students in this class, but I found that most of the students in this class paid attention to the professor and they took notes so seriously. I sat closed to professor. I found he liked look at your eyes and tried to attract everyone in his class by eye contact. He likes to ask questions about the knowledge which is beyond books. I know it is hard for his students to answer his question, but he was patient and guided them to think. At last, the students always can get a closed answer. I could saw that his students respect him very much. They followed their professor seriously and answered his question actively. I like this professor, I hope I could meet a professor as peter when I study university courses. I am look forward that.

Heartrending Mark~~



I got a real real terrible mark for my presentation~~I am so sad about it. I think the major reasons are 1. I did not prepare my notes earnestly. 2. I did not review my notes before my presentation. 3. I did not go though it completely with my partner even once. 4. I did not do ppt earnestly 5.6.7.8.9.10.~~~~~~

T0T

The teacher is right. We need do the presentation more professionally. We must use acdemic English instead " you guys" " anyway" ... ...We must pay attention to our behavior during our presentation. By these ways, we can make our presentation more professional and we can get higher marks. Guys, we are together, you know learning language is not terrible, it need enough time and energe. We do not need to complain about something. We all know that we work so hard but the results are not fair for us . However, do not give up please, we can do it. I trust all of you guys are perfect and you can pass all levels.

Stampede

What with the wind and what with the rain, my good mood is ruined. I really hate this kind of weather, so repressive and boring. But I am so lucky because I chose a good day go to the stampede park and enjoy my whole afternoon there. That was a good day, the weather as nice as my mood. My friends and I wear the different style cowboy hats and go to stampede together by city-train. I was excited because this is my first time join the stampede. I was attracted by the colored shops. There are candy shops, cake shops, cafeteria, and even photo studio. The most attractive things are the games and rides. Looked at people go though with an armful of toys which are their trophies, I was hardly wait to play these games and try these rides. When the darkness came on, I was so tired but still excited. I was so happy and left there reluctantly with my trophy—little blue whale. Stampede, see you next year!
