The movie which I saw one year ago came to my mind this moment.

It is really a meaningful story about friendship and promise. I remembered at the very beginning I was puzzled about the man who stayed behind the window. Then he entered Jamal’s world by accident. He held an Irish accent, not standard English, but it doesn’t show his poorly educated. On the contrary, he was a famous writer and his wisdom was displayed during his talks. Without knowing that, Jamal admired William’s authority and understand William’s feeling, while William appreciated Jamal’s talent. They became good friends in spite of great difference in ages.

Especially when Jamal recognized who William was, he tried his best to protect William from being disturbed, even though he endured the suspection of the school and the pressure of the board. He kept his promise, taking his education as price. At last, William was conquered by this clever, honest boy. He attended the school meeting to clarify Jamal’s innocent. It was the most exciting moment. Their friendship has sublimated at that moment.

At the end, William entered the sea of cars, with his old fashioned bicycle. His heart was set free, as well as my heart.

Sushi is one of my favorite food, so I find some tips on the Internt to show you how to make it. Now let’s have our class.

>Ingredients for Your Rolls
You need some sticky rice prepared in the style for sushi (be particular about getting Japanese rice because it has the sticky consistency you need), a pack of nori wrapper (crisp, dark green squares of seaweed), some rice vinegar, a fairly big cucumber, a couple of avocados (or mangos, if you prefer them), crab sticks, and a bottle of Japanese mayonnaise.

>Get Your Sushi Rolling
Once you have prepared the rice to be used for your sushi, prepare the ingredients for the filling. Clean and peel the cucumber and then slice it into rectangular strips. Do the same for the avocado or the mango.
To keep it from losing its color, you could drop a little lemon juice on the avocado strips. Cut your crab sticks in half along its length. Then prepare all the ingredients on a plate or serving platter, so that they’ll be ready for you to use them later on.
On a clean cutting board, place your rolling mat such that the wooden sticks are vertical from your view. Add a layer of plastic wrap to keep things from getting messy. If your plastic wrap is the clingy or the sticky kind, face the sticky side to the mat. Then place a sheet of nori wrapper on the plastic wrap and then scoop some rice onto it.
Spread the rice evenly over the nori wrapper such that you have a nice, thin, and even layer over most of the wrapper while at the same time maintaining about an inch of bare nori wrapper at both ends. If you have trouble handling the rice, wetting your fingers will really help.
Once your rice is on your nori wrapper, turn the wrapper over so that you’re facing a blank side. Arrange your ingredient strips along the center of the wrapper such that they’re parallel to the bamboo sticks of the rolling mat.
You can put some Japanese mayo for added flavor. Roll your nori wrapper and then cut the resulting roll with a damp knife. Enjoy your California rolls with some soy sauce and, if you like, some wasabi.

Class is over! It’s not difficult, right? If you have interest, try it yourself, and when taste it, don’t forget to call me.

Some people regard competition as a negative thing while for my part, it isn’t. Competition is a stimulus to the society, that Is to say, it can drive our society forward.

A scientist once said, “Human beings have the nature of inertia, which means if life remains too even, they will become “dumb”. It was obvious that these people could never make any contribution to the development of society. We need competition because we need to be inspired. Besides, competition makes us have a clear mind, and highly alert, which are basic things we should have. What’s more, people who are under high pressure are more likely to performance beyond their normal level, so to some degree, competition motive the creating of the new thoughts.

As a result, we can see competition can eliminate the thoughts and promote the new thoughts. In that way, it makes the society leap forward.

I have read a fiction titled The Call of The Wild and been deeply effected by the leading character—a gigantic dog named Buck. Though his changing fates, he experienced many hardship. At first, he was an ordinary dog enjoying an easy, idle life in the warm, sunny Santa Clara, But all the things began to turn upside down when he was stolen and sold to Alaska—an icy, snowy hell. A radically opposite life began. In the tough world of wild, he must learn all the principles of nature to survive.

In the process, he always heard a mysterious call coming from the deep of the forest. He was haunted by some kind of old memories. Little by little, through hurts and blood, he learned how get more food, how to obtain the leadership in a dog’s group. At last, his beloved master Thorton’s incidental death broke Buck’s last tie to the man and him into his long-desired wild life with his pack, pursuing another lost half of the nature in him.

I was affected by Buck’s shinning spirits which made our human beings shameful. Well. Now let’s see Buck’s shinning characters and how they were conveyed in the book.

* Talent of leadership and responsibility
He was born a leader. He took up the duties and responsibilities as a leader, then showed that he is extraordinary. Under his leadership, all the undisciplined dogs began to live up to the disciplines. Although he didn’t like his boring work of sending letters, he took pride in it and he took great strength to accomplish his task as a leader. Finally not only did he work well, but also he turned other dogs from sad, lazy dogs into eager, willing sled dogs simultaneously.

* Strong will and the ability to adjust himself
He suffered much but he never give up. He broke every obstacle in his way to the power. No matter how difficult the challenges is, he just can get use to it, and try to come out a way to get through this. He is a vivid reflection of The Principles of the Nature—“master and be mastered”.

* Loyalty
Loyalty is the most outstanding one in Buck’s characters. There is one scene in the novel reveals that thoroughly. Once a time, his master Thorton fell into a thrilling river carelessly. Buck immediately jumped into the river to save Thorton without any fear or hesitation. Even after Thorton had died and he left the human world, he always come back to deserted, old camp because of the missing of his master.

Maybe Buck can be a mirror to our human beings. The character he owns is exactly what we are lack of. The fierce competition in the society forces people to pay too much attention to the profit. The relationship between people has become more and more alienated. Loyalty and responsibility is no longer a necessity. Everyday, too much betrayal, cheat, framing up happened. This is really heartbroken. Now we have to turn to Buck and learn from him, is it sort of sarcastic?

As everyone knows, one’s diet has a close relationship with his or her health. A good diet contributes to the good condition in physical appearance, such as the beauty of body structure, the smoothness of skins, and the extension of one’s age. What’s more, a good diet helps improve the mental state, because there are always some special substances, which often make people feel satisfied, existing in food.

However, only a good diet can play such an important role. A good diet means suitable in every aspect. Malnutrition, and over nutrition will only make things worse.

As a relult, if you want to maintain your heath should pay more attention the their diet. Buy yourself some books for instruction. I’m sure within a centain period of time, you will find yourself different.

What is a really life? Many times I have asked myself. Until now, it seems that I still have no clear idea.
Yesterday, I went to 798 D-PARK, it was a really life there in my own opinion. Since I was once an art student, I have a deep feeling about painting. Because of many reasons, I can not be a major of art. Many times, when I think about this, I always feel sad. But it is my own fault, not others.
Now, I choose a reverse way to get through my life, even though I do not know if it is right or not. People always say something about dream, but what is a really dream and how we can stick to it. With the process of life, most people move far away from their before. Nearly no one remember their original dream. What shall we do, just forget it or to do something about it. Since we have already done something else, we can not easily to do it again. But do not feel very sad, even though we have little power to change our life, we also can do something to fill our little dream.
Remember, no matter what we will be, do forget the original one we have been.

         The article “Segregation from One Another” is about the changes given by the television. Before the use of television in our life, people always got together to talk about everything happened in their surroundings. The relationship between people felt very peaceful and friendly. Then the use of television gave convenient to many people, especially to those housewives. They could know everything without going out of room. But with the development of science and technology, the distance between people became far and far. They did not have time to communicate with each other, even though among family members. Therefore, the development of science and technology may not always be good to us.      

      In my own opinion, today’s life needs the highly development of science and technology badly. We use it to solve many difficult problems in our life. Maybe many people think that the development of science and technology make people far from each other, they are only absorbed in their only world with new technology. To myself, i can not agree with it. With the development of science and technology we can also keep touch with the outside world, we can share more things with each other. For instance, if we live far away with our parents, we can use internet to communicate with them, making them know things about us. This can make them do not worry too much about us. So I think the development of science and technology in our life is very useful.       

       In fact, everything has two sides. The development of science and technology may sometimes do harm to our life, but we must know that without the development, our society can not forward any more; also we can not have a bright life. Therefore, we must make good use of the development of science and technology, making it becomes the really part of our wonderful life.

       I grown up as a lovely girl, it seems that I did not have any trouble. But when I would come to a college, I faced a big trouble. It really changed my life in my opinion. A different life is starting.

       Before I came to this university, I have thought that I would never have   relationship with sports. Two years ago, my first time to face the college entrance examination, I was a student who wanted to enter a famous Art college. It was dream since I was a little girl. I tried all my best, just hope to get through the exam. But, unfortunately, I failed. And it really made me feel very sad. I cried for a long times.  At that time, I became think that I would never go back to a university to study more things. From then on, I did not study hard any more. Everyday, I just played on and off the class. But after my classmates went to a better university to have a better future, I realized that I should study hard to enter a good university to learn more things which are useful for our future, but not stay here to waste my life on those useless things.     

      So I decided to attend the college entrance examination for the second time. I studied very hard for the whole year, and I thought I made a full preparation for the entrance exam.      

       Now I am a student in the foreign language department of BSU. My major is the international sports English which is very different from my last choice. But now I like this university and my major. It is a challenge to me, and I will try my best to make success in this field. I believe it is the new life belongs to me!

       Pride and Prejudice, I think many people have read it. In pride and prejudice it portrays life in the genteel rural society of the day, and tells of the initial misunderstandings and later mutual enlightenment between Elizabeth and the haughty Darcy. The title Pride and Prejudice refers to the ways in which Elizabeth and Darcy first view each other.  

        In this novel the parents’ characters are greatly contrasted: Mr Bennet being a wise and witty gentleman; while Mrs Bennet is permanently distracted by the issue of marrying off her daughters at any cost. The reason for Mrs Bennet’s obsession is that their estate will pass by law after Mr Bennet’s death to his closest blood relative: his cousin, the Reverend William Collins. Austen’s tale is spurred on by the arrival of the young and wealthy bachelor Bingley and his friend Darcy. It is the story of the various affections, affectations and engagement shenanigans that develop due to Mrs Bennet’s relentless matchmaking and the dashing Darcy’s tempestuous relationship with Elizabeth who Jane Austen claimed was favourite amongst her literary offspring. Its 1797 earlier version was turned down for publication and it appeared in this form in 1813. Jane Austen herself called this brilliant work her “own darling child.”  Austen has given us a multitude of characters, all, in a certain sense, commonplace, all such as we met every day. Yet they are all as perfectly discriminated from each other as if they were the most eccentric of human beings.  

        In “pride and prejudice”, there is no twist plot as well heart quaking scene, reverse, as if the author only write it casually. The graceful dialog in the book plays an important role in the depiction of the characters. So if you have not read this book, you can have a try.

     Nowadays, more and more people begin to have a plastic surgery, also there are some people disagree with it. The discussion about it among the public has become more and more heat. My opinion about it is that we should not forbid the plastic surgery.   

      First, people have the right to receive a plastic surgery. Everyone have the intense to be a beauty, also everyone can do things to reach their aim. Plastic surgery is the best way to make up the shortage of your appearance.   Second, the plastic surgery is really very safe. If you want to do a plastic surgery, you must go to those famous, professional and authoritative hospitals. The technology of nowadays is already very advanced, we can do the plastic surgery safe and relaxed. Plastic surgery can never equal to disfigurement. Third, in society these days, beauty can really give people more chances than others. So the plastic surgery can make people feel more confident and give them a much successes life.

         So, we can not only hold the bias on the plastic surgery, it sometime can bring people a much happier life.
