PoPuLar~~


Every girl dreams to be a popular girl. Girls always hope that they will have a lot of friends and be loved by everyone. How to be a popular girl? As a girl, I have some subjective ideas about it. I would like to share them with you. First of all, you should be confident. Confidence is the key that makes girls more attractive. You’re your confident smile to others every moments is every important. People will be attracted by your charming smile and simultaneously pay attention to you more. Besides, talking to others courteously and gently is also important. Your confident, soft sounds present to others that you are a girl who is amiable and easy to makes friend. Second is being optimistic. Do not fear difficulties. When you are in trouble, take it easy, try to face it with smile and solve it by yourself. Do not complain every time. Be happy everyday and love your life. A spunky girl is a perfect girl. The last one is also the most important one. It is being a kind and friendly. Be a person who is always patient with others and be willing to help others. Everyone likes make friend with such a person. In conclusion, try to let yourself confident, optimistic and friendly. In everyone’ heart, you will be the most popular girl.

Junk Food!!!


According to an article in the New York Times, these organic snacks and prepared foods are growing increasingly popular. Unfortunately, these new products seem to be more concerned with clever packaging, rather than real health or nutritional value. That's where the greenwashing comes in. Masking a junk food with labels that say "all-natural" or "organic ingredients" doesn't necessarily make them healthy. But the promise of health and natural ingredients might be a big part of their appeal. Certainly, it's how they are marketed to us.
How does green washing look to the unsuspecting public? Here are some common traits:
· Potato chips have the same fat and calorie counts as regular chips, but they come in earthy-looking brown bags, rather than shiny foil bags.
· Happy-looking cartoon cows beam out from packages of string cheese, ice cream, and other dairy products.
· Wheat sheafs and grains are used to sell candy granola bars.

Speak English with Native Speakers~~


During the long weekend, I stayed at home and did my homework with my house owner. My house owner is a native speaker. She helped me on my writing homework- cause/effect essay outlines. We talked about how to write a good cause/effect essay in two different forms-chains and block. At the beginning, we go thought chapter 6 on writing book, which Jeannie recommended us to review. It cost us about twenty minutes. I often met some problems because I did not know how to write cause/effect essay in correct forms. After we finished this chapter, I have understood how to use these two forms and I started to do outline. She helped me and guided me during I did outlines. It was not easy to express what I was thinking about. However, I needed to organize my language before I speak to her. When we finished the two outlines, it was nearly 6:00 p.m. We have studied together nearly fifty minutes. I felt it became more comfortable to speak English with my house owner at the end because she was so kind and patient. I think I should encourage myself to speak English with native speaker as much as possible. It is useful for my speaking. Moreover, speaking journal is a very good way for us to practice our speaking. I like to do it and I believe that I can improve my English by it. I hope that one day I will speak English as well as a native speaker.

Just one week left???


Just one week left?????

I can not believe that. How fast the time passes. We are near by our final exam. Oh, no, I do not want to face final exam so fast. However, Even I want to go back to midterm,I can not change the fact. This term is going to finish.

In this term, we study together,work hard and learnt lot. Chinese has a idiom: TiandaoChoulao. which means that if you work hard, god will favor you and give you largess for your hard work.

We have pay a lot for this term. Now, it is the time for us to ask the largess. But, nobody will give you any gift without reasons. We have to insist on studying and we can get payback of our great jobs!

Therefore, let us study for final exam. I know that everyone will be successful for this term and everyone will get the largess.

Jia you!!!!!!!!
