When birthday comes again

I'm going to have another birthday days later. One by one, year by year.

Retrospect to what I had vowed, they were: oh, wishes to get a high mark on exams from now on; wishes I will entrance a good university; wishes to be happay everyday; wishes healthy to my father and mother and brother and grandparents. But now I wish to come home and get together with them. Or if possible, I don't want to be one year older.

One of my friends is practicing in hospital now. He's happy to see a new birth and told me that being a mother is really marvellous but also painful. It was rally a blooded scene that he would never forgot. Just as the old saying goes: My birthday is also called mother's suffering day. But she always forgets that it was her painful day but your birthday.

A little shy, I've never said to my parents that " I love you ", but "Dady and mommy, I really really love you very very very much"

Give My Wallet Back!

Oh,my god! What's wrong with the slide fastener of my satchel? When I got off the bus, I found my bag had half-opend. Some uncomfortable feeling occured to me, soonest I found out that my wallet had gone.But it was difficult for me to believe it at that time, my mind went blank. I even did not have any feeling on that some one were pilferring my wallet which was hidden in my bag! Wait! That meant student's card,bank card,ID,money,keys to the domiroty, all lost! Oh! What a hell! This hateful thief!

Quickly,I came back to myself,realized that I had to do something to remending it. First, I called the bank service and noticed them my bank card had lost. Then, I phoned the police station and telled them that my ID card was theieved and how to renew another one. Last, the student office was acknowledge that I had to make a new student card. And the money, I thought no one would give them back to me.

I wished that the thief could be stamache when he used my money to buy something eat, or the machandizes which he used to buy would be unqualified.

My View On "The Horse dealer's Daughter"

My View On "The Horse dealer's Daughter"

At the beginning of this short story,the old horse dealer, died and left nothing but debt and threatening to his four children.The three brothers managed to find a way out for themselves but none of them would like to take care of their little sister,Mable. Later,the depressed girl committed suicide in a pond but was saved by Dr.Ferguson,which drew the two youth into a romance love together.

At first, I think Mable took her advantage of the situation by expressing her love and convinding Jack that he loved her as well, in order to obtain the comfortable lifestyle that she once lived. But with the development of the story, you will have another view to see that it was the mystirious of love between the two dramatist personae. First of all, Mable wished to be glorified like her mother was becuase that she was ashamed of her poverty and no longer wanted to face the townspeople. The young doctor, Jack Ferguson, who was a friend of Mable's brother Fred, "as a matter of fact, it excited him, the contact with the rough,strongly-feeling people was a stimulant applied direct to his nerves". We would suggest that Mable's suicide was not only an instinct of saving others as a doctor but also a stimulation of the love of the story. Then,after resuscitating Mable,Jack brought her back to the deserted house, striped off her wet and stinking clothes, and wrapped her in blankets, she felt her responsible to ask whether he loved her and she thought that he must in love with her. But the fact was Jack felt free to undress Mable since he was a doctor and he never looked her more than two eyes before. When she lunged toward him and clutched his legs, murmured "You love me. I know you love me, I know." This was embarrasingly silly, yet inexplicably, he kissed her. At that moment, Jack felt some love with her,suddenly he recognized his obligation towards her. Last, she recognized with horror that he did not love her at all. But Jack tole her"I want you , I want to marry you, we'er going to be married, quickly, quickly---tomorrow if I can." Jack, the country doctor whose life up to this moment had been full of sunlight and promise, had to quickly marry the horse-dealer's daughter so he would not have time for common sense to change his mind.

My View On "The Lottery"

My View On "The Lottery"

It begins with a peace scene:sunny morning,full-summer day,flowers blossomed profusely,the grass was richly green. An easy day which school was recently over for the summer, children gathered together for a game. The lottery was hold in a dance squre ,like a teen club, a Halloween program. Children assembled first,soon the men began to gather,and women appeared to stand by their husband.Then the conductors of the lottey---Mr.Summer ans Mr.Grave came at last.It seemed to be an important game that all the villagers of the country would have to join in. The story was ended withe the death of the winner---Mrs.Hutchinason, who was later for the lottery.You would hardly imagine that they were organized elaborately to describe an cruel story.

In my opinion,there are some other ironic meaning of the pilots in the story.First,the name of Summer would suggest sunshine and bright but he killed Mr.Hutchinson indirectly.Mr.Grave's name indicated a death. Old man Mr.Warner and the black box can be seen as the old and punk literal tradition of the lottery.Second ,its real indication was focused on the opposite facial of the story.For one thing ,it wasn't the winner but the loser rewarded to die,then the cruel and horrible thing was based on a happy and easy scene.For another,Mrs.Huchinson was the last person who appeared with a joking saying to others"Clean forgot what day it was",and unfortunately chosen to be the winner.Last but not the least,Mrs.Hutchinson died in a summer and bright day---the most terrible thing happened under the sun.Third,it was because of the evil of the human nature but not the old tradition to keep the tragedy going again and again.For example ,the old man Mr.Warner who had seen this horrible tradition for 77 times and innovated the traditional ritual ,but he never stand out to stop this the tradition.We can seen that Mr.Warner wasn't only as old as the tradition but also as cruel as it by his words:"Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box,they still remembered to use the stones."The villagers just wanted to finish the lottery quickly,but never thought of that they were killing a life who had lived with them in the same village for years,besides the wife of the husband or the mother of the children.Even Mrs.Hutchinson herself screamed to others"It isn't fair,it isn't right",maybe she thought that it was someone else should dia,who cared whether it would be her husband or one of her children.

Today,tragedy again! I really don't know how to do, help!

Girls' Day of Dalian Maritime University

Girls' Day of Dalian Maritime University

At mid November of each year,there are special days for the girls of our university--Girls' Day.Since the two larggest Navigation and Marine Engineering departments have boys only, girls are rather rare.Our girls were born to be taken considerable good care.

There are many particular activities during those days.For the first day of celebration,each girl can get a flower or a package of handkerchief paper or a bookmark or other presents for free at particular time of given places.The flowers are usually roses and carnations.The second day maybe the programme of girls for competing for "Miss Beauty Smile" or "My Pink Princess".With their talents and passions, the competitors exhaust themselves to cater for the audience.And they also have their own cheer club to play up.The next day is another plan for the babies.Girls write down their wishes on postcards and hang them on the trees,perhaps they are love letters for some boys who have haunted in their minds for a long time but fail to propsal because of shiness.And now ,it is the time to change dreams into realistic.All these are under the Student Union of course.

The celebration often lasts for 3 or 4 days.May it warms hearts for the whold cold long winter.

Bachelors' Day

November 11th,we call it Bachelors' Day.I can't figure out that whether it's an international day or just amoung our generation.For the meaning of the number 1 refers to single,and four 1s of the year maybe the most sensitive day of the singles.

A Tumbled Love

It was a disaster when I found out that he had another girlfiend in his hometown.He was handsome,he was cool,but he didn't treat me well.I was angry,I was heartbroken,and I hated him intensively.I felt like to be an idiot who was played by his will.I was so pround that I had never had a boyfriend before him.

Since the fact it was, I must make a quick decision.Firstly, it was me happened to be the third one.Whatever he deceived me,it was not smart enough for me to break another girl's heart.Second,he didn't deserve my love or saddness.I would like to clear him away from my life thoroughly.Third,there was so many guys lost their heads when I determined to be his girlfriend.To stay with him,there was wounded love left only,but to leave him,there would be thousands of possibilities.So,he was fired!

Now, I still alone.Neither because of still loving him nor do not be loved by someone.I just have learnd to love with bright eyes.

Have Fun in English Chat Room

It was totally an accident that I found English Baby on the Internet. Attracted by its lighten logo then enrolled in it,soon I knew that it was where I would be.

Being a new comer was a little shy.The biggest problem was I didn't know how to talk to others.But the sentences were jumping one by one on the screen.I nearly cried to the computer but there was nobody I could tend for help.Fortunately,a dialog box jumped out :"Hello,nice to meet you.",then another box appeared "where are you from" and the other one was "how are you"...

Quickly, I found the way to make it.I chatted with 4 persons at the same time,and there was two guys from China.What a coincide!Yes, China has the larggest population in the world.No wonder that you meet a Chinese here.

Last night,when I was talking with a Turk guy,my computer turned off because of eletricity shortage(Eletricity is only avaliable from 5:30a.m to 11:00p.m in my university).We talked about out countries,our majors.He knew a lot about Chian, and introduced Bosphorus Bridge and Istanbul of Turkey to me.We had a nice talk,and his name is Dignified.
