Blah, blah, blah...Yepee!!!

Firstly, let me finish our instructor's mission.
as follows:
Editing other's essay is good for me.
I did this in China frequently.
By doing this,
I can find a lot of mistakes from their works,
in the meantime,
they can find ours!!
Most importantly,
those tiny mistakes that we can hardly find them out all by ourselves can be found out by others easily.
And always,
these tiny mistakes determines a successful essay...


That's all that I can throw up on this topic,
I feel it extremely challenging to throw up 250 on this topic,
Forgive me pls, Dr. Ilana,
I'll compensate you via praying for you everyday (I mean it)...

What I wanna say,
what I'm gonna express myself is,
err...
basically,
em...
Happy Chinese New Year !!!!
The New Year's Eve is on Feb 6.
Usually on that night,
family members MUST get together and share a gorgeous feast!!!
Watching the show on TV,
eating snacks!!
I do miss that time very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are a lot of shows that will last 4 more hrs.
and till ten more seconds before 12:00 a.m.,
they'll count down seconds till 12:00.
then, the clock bell rings!!
FANCY FIREWORKS, FIRECRACKERS EVERYWHERE!!!!!
We call a lot of our relatives, friends, and even colleagues, classmates, and teachers,
to say "Happy New Year" and other blessing idioms and, or phrases, poems to them...
We call it "Bai Nian"
some family will paste two sentences poems on to the frame of gates.
On the first day of Lunar New Year,
we'll visit a lot of people's house,
and give red bags that have money in it to "children of all ages" (Murray's wds).
I always get a lot,
and store them in a bank....
Besides,
on Lunar Jan 1st,
almost every children wear new clothes (except those poor, I always appropriate part of my red bag money and donate it to them)
after the New Year's Day,
ppl often go out to travel together..
Plum blossom is on during those days,
snapping photos in parks, gardens....
being together with parents and relatives and friends...
How good that make me feel!!!!
I'll never forget that feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna go back to CHina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crying, Sobbing...........

My impression of EAP III

I've been in EAP III class for around two weeks.
The first impression it left on me was the assignments.
Quite a lot of those assignments I should accomplish!!
(compared to the 10 hrs homework last year in my high school, it's nothing)
However, not all of them but some are very interesting I think.
Attending lectures, Speaking Journals, Research Projects, Book projects...
They are going to improve my abilities,
as well as my English proficiency of course(so to speak)
Today is a Friday of the second week,
till now,
what've we learned?
Grammar: Easy but tricky and fussy stuff...
Writing: A little important stuff
Speaking: I've been poured with pronunciations, "th" tips, greeting words(informal, can't be used in interviews)
Reading: Reading speed test (compared to Murray's) which is interesting, and guessing word meaning skills (advanced version), and method of improving reading speed (hope it works better)
all of the above are in class.
So what about off class?
hahahahahahaha
I chat with everyone I want,
I watch television programs in English,
I listen to English music all day (so did I previously when I was in China)
I watched movies again and again to learn those words,
whatever kinda words,
even swear words (I just don't know how to use them, and don't know whether I'm allowed to use them in front of a Canadian) .
What's worse,
when I chat with my friends in China online,
I use English till they become angry.
I talk to my Mom and Dad in English,
till they force me to speak our own dialect.
And sometimes when speaking Mandarin Chinese,
I don't know how to organize words perfectly.
My friends told me before that after I'm back in China this summer,
I must teach them English,
and they'll teach me Chinese.
What the hell!!
It seems that I'm a Chinese language learner (definitely it's a joke)

BanG!!!
The worst thing is,
every day before I fall asleep in bed,
when all lights are off,
I started to think about a lot of things IN ENGLISH!!!
NO ANY OTHER LANGUAGES AT ALL!!
It'll last about 1 to 2 hours averagely,
but sometimes I may be awake for a whole night just because of this!!!
I'm mentally sick (hopefully not)!!!
SEE!!!! These are the results of EAP III's super torture!!!
Anyway, I love it instead of hating it!!
hahahahahaha
Believe it or not!!
It's an entire joke, but it's not an entire joke in the meantime!!!!
