• Becoming bilingual is a way of life.Every bone and fiber of your being is affected in some way as you struggle to reach beyond the confines of your first languagee,a new culture,a new way of thinking,feeling and acting.

    Total commitment,total involvement,a total physical, intellectual,and emotional response is necessary to successfully send and receive messages in a second language.

    Second language learning is not a set of easy steps that can be programmed in a quick do-it-yourself kit.No one can tell you "how to learn a foreign language without really trying.

    If I should die,think only this of me:

    That there's some corner in a foreign field

    That is for ever England.

    明月几时有

    when will the next full moon be?

    把酒问青天。

    wine in hand , I ask the sky.

    不知天上宫阙、今夕是何年?

    what year is tonight in the palaces in  Blue Heaven?

    我欲乘风归去,惟恐琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒.

    I would hitch a ride and return,but for the chill high up there, in the marble towers jade mansions.

    起舞弄清影,何似在人间?  

    so I start dancing,playing with my own shadows;not at all like being in the human world.

    转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。

    turning round the red pavilion,and leveling with the window,the moon shines upon my sleeplessness.

    不应有恨、何事长向别时圆?

    grudge should not be the case here,but why does the moon always wax full when people suffer from separations.

    人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺

    no human is free of sorrows or joys,partings or reunions,nor is the moon of shade and light or wax and wane.

    此事古难全

    nothing is perfect since ancient times;

    但愿人长久,千里共蝉娟。

    but I would rather man live long and,however far apart they are,share the beauty of Goddess moon.

  • Who in the world cares for you?Or who will be injured by what you do?...

    Still indomitable was the the repley--I care for myself.The more solitary,the more friendlyness,the

    more unsustained I am,the more I will respect myself.I will keep the law given by God,sanctioned by

    man.I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane,and not mad--as I am now.Laws and

     principles are not for times when there is no temption:they are for such moments like as this,when

    body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour,stringent are they;inviolate they shall be ...with my

    viens running fire,and my heart beating faster than I can count its throbs.Preconceived

    opinions,foregone determinations,are all I have at this hour to stand by:there I plant my foot!

    Little Gidding

    The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree


    Are of equal duration. A people without history


    Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern


    Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails


    On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel


    History is now and England.

    le feu d'artifice

    after the eclipse Mr. weather tends to be more mild ,how generous!

    study in the provincial library , go to different Restraunts and Milkteas for food and drink

    i decide i prefer vegtables and fish and  Earl Grey as the daily bread

    make aquaintance with two Aus girls

    Abbie and Emily ,vegetarians,outgoing,nice fellows!

     

    on a bus heading to Bayi square ,encountered with a splending firework show

    firework is just a moment,but however it aspires to be outstanding eventhough become ashes of nowhere

    so a question come to me as:

    to live a calm ordinary life or a facinating colourful one?

    Life in the Woods or Life in the metropolis?

     

    I truely know that those questions have no answers

    we cannot get someone to guide our life

    all we surely can do is  to live ourown  life good and right

    leave the  God to  judge not we grassroots

    formalism

    Of late I saty in NanChang

    hot is the only word I can find to describe its summer

    and rain finnally comes but it show no tention to stop

    four days unstopable cats and dogs!

    overreacting! inclemency!

    since Boss and Sandra has go back to Aus for almost a month

    Justine Mandy Chloe Ashlee and I decide to meet and chat

    we'll try some Thai food and then KTV tomorrow

    looking forward to !

     

    still raining outside

    the rain give me all the confuse and doughts 

    how long are we still willing to see each other?

    I have witness many departs and sorrows

    and I ,myself,firmly believes that time will not decay relationships ,and relationships will not be unconfined to distance

    but the facts told me that there is new friend and old friend,good friend and better friend

    we sometime simle out of politeness,talk to gratify others

    friend,setting in a social background,is too formalism

     

    isn't this too crucial and too real ?

    how can I distinguish my friends?

    so I told myself everytime when i am confused

    Dont be an observer of life !

    formalism is a way of life
