Today I went back my grandma’s home which is in Beijing. And she cooked some special noodle for lunch. I want to talk about the noodle ~~!
We can’t buy this kind of noodle in the market now, and rare people know it. It’s from my grandma’s hometown. Her relatives brought this to her. It is made of corn, actually, part of corn.
MAKING PHASE
It’s the embryo of the corn—-very small part.
First, someone has to take all the embryo out of the corn, and grind them.
Second, ferment it until it become a little sour.
Than put it together and strike it. The striking process would last for long until it become sticky(unbelievable, eh?)
At last, use a shiever and make it into noodle shape.
FINISH!
COOKING PHASE
First, cook some pig-bone soup (for 3 to 4 hours), and put some mushroom into the soup (or some other vegetables if u like)
Than boil some water. And put the noodle into the boiler. Be careful the time! We turn off the fire as soon as the water is boiled again.
Shieve the noodle from the water. put the noodle into a bowl, than add the soup. If you like, add some caraway.
FINISH.
I think it’s very delicious, I like it~HAHA

Today is Saturday, and TEM-4 will be tomorrow. Coming so fast.
TEM-4 is quite an important exam for English Major students, because if we want to graduate we must pass it.
This TEM-4 reminds me of my college entrance exam. That exam was I think the most important exam in most of the Chinese students’ life. So we started the count down even 300 days before the exam. Everyday we did a lot of exams. I still can remember the atmosphere of study, pressure, and nervousness.
One would come across different exams in his or her life. And after every exam, on will grow up a little. No matter how nervous or how worried you feel, you still have to face it. After the exam, everything seems different and your stress disappeared. So now I am expecting the TEM-4 because I was so eager to finish it and go outside and play~! The flowers in Beijing’s spring are very beautiful and pleasant, I want to take some photos for them. I wan to fly kites in a sunny day. I want to do a lot of things which are irrelevant of TEM-4.
I am sure after this exam, I will go out and be crazy playing~!

Today we had the oral English exam. All my classmates said that it is quite easy but I don’t think so, because it is easy to finish the exam but hard to do it perfectly. The exam was a job interview. John played the interviewer and we played the interviewees. I tried to talk fluently and confidently. John asked me some questions and I was a little bit nervous. Luckily that I had prepared it before so most of the answers I thought were satisfactory.
And then I had to give the speech on Darfur because I didn’t do it during the class. I didn’t prepare for this because I thought I missed this and had no chance to make it up. So not having prepared, I gave a one minute speech with no script in my hand. John looked at me and listened to me carefully, which made me nervous, and I talked about Darfur’s problem in my own understanding and own words. I think it was a bad speech, for I didn’t prepare well. After the speech John asked me several questions, which are quite critical, I answered them in a clumsily way. If i had known this i would have prepared it~!
Hope John would have some mercy on me……Hope my oral exam will not be too bad… Amen.

Wow, it is 2 months since last time I write this blog! The only thing I want to say is that time passes so fast and I even hardly notice that. I couldn’t recall what I have done exactly in these 2 months. It feels just like a flash. And everyday seems the same day except the day is becoming warmer and warmer.
I believe the spring is an active season, in which everyone dresses lighter. Many girls are dressed in short skirt or short pants and many boys wear polo shirt. Honestly speaking I love seeing them dressing like that ~~ :P
I like spring and I like the weather is warm because I’m more afraid of freezing days than others…
This semester I think is end because there’s nearly no classes to have. I like free days so that I can do something I’m interested in, as you can see I start this blog again! :)
