Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you really are. You never know in advance who these people may be--a friend, a professor, a neighbour, or a complete stranger. But when you fix your eyes on them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
Sometimes things happen to you may seem unfair and painful at first, but in reflecting you will find that without overcoming these obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart. Suffering for a sore experience, mourning for the loss of a loved one, and grief over an unrealized childhood dream all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved flat road that can lead us to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life and the ups and downs you experience all help to shape your character and view, help to create who you are and who you become. Therefore, try to stop and look back upon your life occasionally to find and learn the lessons that life implies. Live with your heart, and make every minute counts.

lantin dance -my second oral report (08)
Latin dance concludes five types of dances,they are rumba (coming from Cuba),sanmba(Brazil),paso doble(Spain),Cha Cha(Mexico)，Jive(America).
Rumba is indeed the soul of latin dance,cause it uses your waist a lot.the basic movements is waist twist ,which has a high requirement of your flexibility of your waist.it is quite hot and sexy.it focuses on showing the beauty of human beings,especially the females’,such as their slim waist ,long and thin leg,their tenderness and charm.as it comes from Cuba,people in Cuba use their heads a lot to move goods,so they have to keep balance by adjusting the position of their waist.so it’s also of vital importance to keep balance standing just by two points of your feet,the inside parts of your toes,unlike ballet (using the front part of your toe most).
Though it is quite a sexy dance ,the requirements for your speed and strength of your movements are pretty high, it uses your muscles on your legs and waist a lot.
Cha cha is the eastest to learn among the five,as far as I am concerned.cause if your movements are not so normal ,they would also look cool.the music is a bit faster than rumba and it may seem full of passion as it needs to shake your head a lot.because it is easy to learn and it is more joyous,cha cha is one of the most popular dances all around the world.
Jive focuses mainly on the male dancer while rumba the female dancer.the rhytem of the music is fast which is not easy to follow.
So ,what are the advangtages of latin dance?
Firstly,as it uses your muscles all around your body a lot,it could be regarded as a kind of sports,which can be used to lose weight ,especilly the fat around the waist.
Secondly ,it has phycology beneafits ,for you could abreact your pressure or just express your passion or sorrow ,that kind of thing.
So if you are already have a sense to move up ,just stand up and try it.

Leave a Space in the Heart For Yourself(AW)
Leave space in the Heart for Yourself
Though we are busy all day, we always forget to allow ourselves adequate time for silent thinking. Glancing at the long list of irritating things you have to do during the coming day after waking up, I will lose my expectations of the new day. I think most of my fellow students share the same feeling just as mine. So what I want to say is that don’t forget to nourish your soul, which is the most important for you.
On weekdays, we concentrate on our studies with nearly no extra time to think of other things. How about our weekends? The situation of our weekends is no better than that of weekdays I think. During the weekdays, even from Monday, we start making the things-to-do list for the following weekend. So it is not a surprise that our weekends are usually filled with so many things which make us rather bored. You are asked to go shopping with A during the morning. After eating a quick lunch outside, you hurry to take the MRT to a friend’s far away to get back your badminton bats. Then you have to do the homework after the long journey without a minute of rest…At last, when you lie on the bed at late night and think back on the things done today, you are really confused if the things are exactly what I like to do? Absolutely no! They are the things you think you should do, not you like to do. You are driven to tiredness and confusion rather than a sense of pride and achievement though you are very busy.
So how can we manage to enjoy our lives and maximize our happiness? The secrecy surrounding it is to leave space in your heart for yourself and nourish your soul. Don’t let yourself surrounded by a crowd of peers; just take several books or your laptop with you. Enter a room where there is little noise and few people. Read your favorite books silently and enjoy the songs you used to listen to. You can take a walk along the beach or sit silently seeing the sunset…Keep your heart peaceful and let your thinking flow fluently, which point you to important ideas. You can really do a lot to nourish your soul.
Your soul is the only thing that will follow you forever and the real source of all your life. So don’t forget to nourish it.

After Watching "Fung Fu Panda"(YSM)
Yesterday, I watched the film “Kung Fu Panda” for a second time. I found that it was not only a funny film in which the cartoon characters are vivid but also a meaningful story. Behind the funny story, I also learn two things which are useful in our life.
One of them is that motivation can lead to great change. The panda in the movie did badly at the beginning of the trace. He was just pushed to do the training. But one day, the master found that when the panda saw food, he would be full of energy and was able to finish some very hard action. So he started to use the food to encourage the panda. Then the panda became hard-working and finally became a master. It is motivation which changes a fat panda into a Kung Fu master. So from this we know the power of motivation. Like the panda, we all have the potential to become a master. The mater is that we should find the proper motivation to encourage ourselves to go ahead.
The other thing is that we should have confidence. Before he had confidence, he never thought he could beat the tiger. What he did was just tried to escape. But when he heart his mother’s words “To make something special, you should just believe it is special.” He became confident and found the tiger and finally beat it. So, we see, the army of the panda was not the tiger but the lack of confidence of himself. In fact, it is the same with us. When facing some difficulties, instead of trying and then failing, more of us just afraid of trying or not believing ourselves. If we ourselves do not believe ourselves, how can others believe us and how can we manage it. So we should do is just believe ourselves.
To sum up, if we want to be successful, it is necessary for us to find proper motivations to spur us and do things full of confidence.

Missing You My Dear Friends(YSM)
The Chinese New Year passed. During the vacations many of my old friends in China sent me messages to give there best wish to me, which recalled my memories about them.
It is said that when on some festivals, people are easy to miss their families and their old friends. I used not to believe it because I just thought people will be happy on festivals. Why will people think such sad things? But now, I believe it because now I am experiencing it. It is not just a feeling of sadness. It is a mixture of sadness that I can not meet them and care that I wonder whether they are happy or not.
When I saw the messages, it seemed that their familiar lovely faces appear in front of my eyes. And then the happy memories came into my mind. I still remember the scene that we were working hard for our future. I still remember the jokes that we played on each other. I still remember the happy time we shared with each other. How I wish I could meet them sit around a table and have a casual conversation with them right now. But I know I can not unless I am in my dream.
When I got the messages, I was also moved by them. Though I was not with my friends, they would also remember me and sent me messages even though the fee for sending messages over different countries was quite a lot. They showed me what was friendship, a thing that could go through the time and space, a thing that can give us warmth.
Best wishes to all my friends and hope they will be healthy and happy and get many blessings in the new year.

To Persue Or Not
workWhen I was a small boy, I admired Einstein ,Newton and Steven Chu so much that I dreamed of being a great physicist just like them all day.They all like physics very much,and it seems that from the time they were born,their life had been associated with physics closely.There is no doubt that they all have got great talents on physics,something that belongs to them ,could'nt be stolen from them and enables them to go a long way within this area.Besides the talents,there is another charateristic that they all share and that I think is the most important factor for their success----courage.Hardships comes out through all our life,and you have to face it,acknowledge it and tackle with it,which needs a lot of courage.W ITHOUT COURAGE,is it possible for them to believe in their own ability,to insist on their own thoeries,and most importantly,to persue their dreams?I always think that I am also smart and wise enough to a great physicist and I've got great interest ,too;so ,be a physicist,to fulfill your dream !But I have no courage,not at all to persue my dream!
To be a physicist,you have to work hard through your whole life and may reap nothing even when you die.This is such a long and complex process that it had frightened enomorous people away from this fantastic area which they had been longed for.
It seems that I have lost myself cause I have to grow up ,be a good man and earn some money to support my family.Both of my parents are very traditional workers in China.Their dreams are very simple.Because of this,I have to give up my own dream which seems very impossible and unrealistic.Maybe I have no courage.

I like searching for cheap books(JEGA)
Everyone has their own hobbies, and some people’s hobbies are so special that they can’t be understood by others. Unfortunately, I am one of those people. Believe or not, I like buying books pretty much and I am always crazy about searching for cheap books.
I don’t know the exact reason why I love this kind of thing, but whenever there is a book sale, I can’t wait to have a look. At home, I always stayed around the book stalls for a long time. I still remember when the book store near my home was moving, the store had many discount books. Seen from today, they were not very cheap cinsidering the 50 to 60 percent discount. But at that time, I thought there couldn’t be cheaper books, so I bought a lot, most of which I haven’t read until now. Then during the days I am in Singapore, there has been a sale of books priced 1 dollar or onwards. That has made me so excited that I nearly go to the book store everyday after lunch and bought some cheap books that I can’t understand. I know clearly it’s a bad habit to buy books ,but not read. I hate myself sometimes. But what can I do? That’s my hobby. I can just hope there will be less book sales in NUS in the future.

I’m facing new life and I have to change(JEGA)
Changes in life always lies somewhere we rarely think of. It’s amazing I’ve been in Singapore for more than a month. Before I came here, I was still a child under the protection of my parents, but now I can’t depend on them any longer. They can’t solve problem for me that far away. I am facing the turning point of growing up, and it’s hard for me to choose how to deal with my life. Without the greenhouse parents build for me, I am facing a totally new world. The old peaceful close life I once had was gone, however, new life has also come. Many new factors step into my world, different languages, different cultures and different styles of doing things. All is unfamiliar, meanwhile, changes are around the corner. I’ve never meet so many things new, and so many challenges to keep up with fashional ideas. I know I have to change to adapt myself to the new surroundings. But somehow I feel a little disappointed when thinking of this, perhaps because dropping old living and thinking habits is more or less bitter for people. No matter how I feel now, I am aware of the fact I will change just like countless seniors to merge into the society. No one can stay with parents forever, and the day to grow up and to be independent is sure to come. Going abroad just offer me a chance to access new life and to turn myself into an adult by changing.
Seeking for smiles on the way(JEGA)
Since I got to Eton Hall, jogging has become a part of my everyday life. Surrounded by green trees and the blue sky, I feel jogging just turns into a kind of enjoyment, which enables me to get closer to nature. And I also really like the released feeling after sweating. But those are not all the reasons why I like jogging. More importantly, I jog to seek for smiles on my way.
It’s quite usual for me to come across Singaporeans when jogging. At first, I didn’t greet them, for I was afraid to frighten the strangers. However, one day things changed. That morning, I was jogging as usual, and just as usual too, I saw the ladies serving the cottage around walking dogs. When I went nearer to them, one lady’s eye sight met mine. I just felt a little embarrassed and wanted to turn away. Before I did this, the lady smiled and said enthusiastically to me “Morning!” In fact, I was somewhat touched by the smile and the simple word, and automatically I smiled back and said “Morning” to her. It was a small incident, even worthless mentioning. But it really brought some changes to me. I started to open my heart to strangers by smiling. From then on, whenever I met someone ,I just smile to them, though sometimes I can’t get a reply. Of course, I did receive many smiles. That’s what makes me satisfied and what gives me the feeling of being cared. Therefore, when jogging, I in fact gain more than good health, that is, I gain good motion and feelings ,as well. I finally find I will not be as happy when I don’t go jogging.
Jogging is something I can’t drop, for it provides the opportunity to experience kindness.

My first performance in Singapore
In January 24th,we gave a performance in NUS representing Wuhan University.The performance was so successful that we all took pride in ourselves.
About a week before,we got the news that we were to perform in an school evening party for juniors.Initially we felt dazed because we didn't know what to perform .Through a discussion we came to an agreement that we could put on a series of music with singing and dancing.
One girl in our group proposed a wonderful idea that we could choose some classic music and act it out in a creatively amusing way.Then anoher one designed some actions and we also took transitional parts between different songs into consideration.
The we spent several evening leisure time preparing for our performance.Indeed,we felt tired,sometimes even bored with the training again and again.However,we got stimulated when we finished a new part .One of the funny things during the preparation was that while we were training on the basketball playground one night,five boys were not far away from us.To our surprise ,we found nobody anymore after we danced only a few seconds.Was it because that our behavior was a fright to them?How funny and stange!
On last Saturday evening,we gave the performance.It's arranged in the fifth program.In order to prepare well ,we came into a waiting room as soon as the third was on .We felt nevous coming onto the stage.However when we was daning and singing ,we were more confident with beatiful light shining on us.In front of the audience we were happy to hear applauds flowing one after another.
It's the first performance since we came to Singapore.Thanks to it ,we adapted to the new life more quickly .In the meantime ,we had fun with new friends,who seemed to be my sisters and brothers.I hope in the future life stage we can perform more fine programs with our friends to enjoy a colorful life together.

Imagination about the song “when you’re gone”(08)
I always needed time on my own.and never thought I need you there when I cry.And the days feel like years when I'm alone.And the bed where you lie, is made up on your side.When you walk away, I count the steps that you take.Do you see how much I need you right now?When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you.When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too.When you're gone, the words I need to hear to always get me through the day,And make it okay, I miss you.I’ve never felt this way before.Everything that I do reminds me of you.And the clothes you left are lyin' on the floor.And they smell just like you.I love the things that you do.When you walk away, I count the steps that you take.Do you see how much I need you right now?When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you.When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too.When you're gone, the words I need to hear to always get me through the day,And make it okay, I miss you.We were made for each other.I’ll hear forever, I know we were.All I ever wanted was for you to know.Everything I do I give my heart and soul.I can hardly breathe, I need you to feel I am here with youWhen you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you.When you're gone, the face I came to know is missing too.When you're gone, the words I need to hear to always get me through the day,And make it okay, I miss you.
The MV of this song is edited to a story ,in which ,the female lead fell in love with the hero deeply .but one day ,the boy needed to go army ,and they had to say goodbye to each other.after when ,the girl missed the boy a lot . when coming to the reality ,the girl would cry sarrowly and bore the terrible loneliness alone.before long,she gave birth to a girl for the boy who she brings up all by herself later.several years later, when their daughter grew up ,the mother limited her daughter being in love with boys perfunctorily as the mother just doesn’t want her daughter to suffer the same pain as herself did.however, the daughter couldn’t understand the heart that her mother had put into her and hates her mother.
many years later ,the hero and the female lead are still missing each other holding their pictures while they are now in different places where the other wound never know.that’s the end.
in my imagination,there should be a deeper touching story .
a boy fell in love with a girl.however ,the boy has to go broad later ,not to let the girl deeeply in sarrow ,he broke up with he girlfriend before leaving.unfortunately,the plane that the boy took crashed halfway and he died.the girl has to accept the truth that man she loves deeply has been dead and she suffers a lot.she just locks herself in the room they’ve lived together.everywhere is filled with the smell of him and everything has the tracks that he left as if he is just with her.she often cries painfully staring at the photos of they two,and the story just ends before a mirror in which the girl is crying in the clothes of her boyfriend faintnessly.

The Lion King(Yap)
It was the third time that I saw the film "The Lion King" .Whereas,I was still moved by it.Every time I saw it,I had a different feeling.The thing remaining unchanged was that I kept learning from it.
The movie begins with a beautiful and meaningful song."It's the circle of life/and it moves us all/through despair and hope/through faith and love/till finds our place/On the path unwiding/In the circle/the circle of life."Such as the words says,Simba,the leading role of the film,gets through many difficulties to find who he is after his father's death,throughout which he is motivated by love from both his friends and his father,Mufasa.
In the beginning part,Simba was instigated by his evil uncle,Scar,to go to a dreadful elephant grave where lives hyenas to prove his bravery.So hazardous are the hyenas that they almost have eaten Simba and Nala when Mufasa arrives.On the way home,Mufasa teaches Simba the most significant lesson of his life."Be brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble...Look at the stars,the great kings of the past look down on us from these stars.So whenever you feel alone just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you.And so will I."I stopped it even then.My thought flew...How ridiculous I was when I went to play with the rushing water of a flood!And what a foolish guy when I rode a bike without hands handling on it!What's worse,I even tried not to notice my parents after they scolded me for those things...Furthermore,we won't feel alone no matter where we are because those who love us will always accompany us in our heart.The strength of love is the most powerful.Everyone,no matter rich or poor,noble or humble,can revitalise himself with love.
Unfortunately,Simba loses himself when his father is dead.He just runs away from his past and dares not to face it,let alone find out the truth of Mufasa's death.As things can't go worse when they come to the extreme,Simba meets his best friends,Timon and Pumbba,at his hardest time.Their positive attitude has an impact on Simba and helps him get out of shadow of his father's death."Hakuna Matata!"What a wonderful motto !It's the best problem-free philosophy in the world,I think.Even when it comes to a insurmoutable obstacle,Hakuna Matata!Just detour it!
But Simba still don't have the courage to face the past until the appearance of the knowledgeable baboon.He leads Simba to see his father,which follows with Mufasa's enlightening words."Look inside,Simba!You are more than you have become.You must take your place in the circle of life!"How definite the last few words are!No matter how many obstacles we have encountered,we must keep our direction and take our exact place in our lives,or else the meaning of your life will be lost.
Eventually,Simba goes back to fight for his glory land.With no doubt,he finds out the real murder is his uncle and beat him.Ultimately,truth is in the eye of the behold.The scene Simpa pacing on to Pride Rock is very shocking.Simpa manages to find himself back! Simba is like everyone.In the process of growing up,we have to come across many difficulties,but remember to say "Hakuna Matata" to ourselves then face them directly.No fear about faults,and learn from it rather than run from it!

essay using certain words
Words to use:
enable competent ridiculous efficient in every possible situation to a certain extent assume chimpanzee precise equivalent vice versa intonation psychology theorist relate to formula relevant on one’s part go/be driven to the extreme
Essay:
Making mistakes ,to a certain extent, enables us to be more competent. On our part, we never want to make these ridiculous mistakes which have made us so embarrassed. However, theorists say it’s a efficient way to improve ourselves. For example, new speakers of a language always have problems in prononciation and intonation. They can’t get the precise tune when speaking, which causes laugh. Mistakes help us to learn, but it never means we should make more mistakes. Sometimes the equivalent words related to mistake are failure,death… Assume you are a scienctist ,and you are doing relevant experiments about making nuclear weapons. You use a formula wrongly and get wrong numbers. It’s not a serious thing when in school,for you can get it right with an eraser. But now you will fail your experiment with the wrong numbers,and if the situation is driven to the extreme, a lot of life will be lost for your mistake. Not only should people who do science work be careful,but also those in the field of psychology,politics should do so. The society affect every individual and vice versa. If we all make mistakes very often, our world will just be in a mess. We are humanbeings not chimpanzees or anything else, we can’t allow ourselves to make mistakes without a limit. Though mistakes can not be avoided, but we should at least try to avoid them in every possible situation

Nothing happens for no reason
Nothing happens for no reason
In the past, I always complained when bad things happened. But as days went on, I came to realise that anything happened for some reason. Nothing came from nowhere, it is either the result of the past, or it is what makes your future. I never thinked much of the sorrowable experences before, I couldn’t think back these things with a calm mood. However, now I don’t want to complain anymore, for they are a part of my life and they make me who I am at the moment. I can’t say I am outstanding, but I do surppose, without all I have experiencd, I will be worse than now. It’s quite a magical thing when bad things turn out to be a good opportunity. I considered it was my biggest failure that I got such a bad grade in the college entrance exam, and moreover I didn’t make a good choice , when I chose my university, and when I was in the university, I started to realise I also chose the wrong major, since Business in CSU is a very young major, and I should have choose better major considering my grades. Yes, I nearly did everything wrongly, I should have got a better score, or just with the score I could have gone to a better university , or just in the same university I should have chosen a better major anyway. But fnone of these happened, none was right, all wrong. During the holiday I once wondered why bad things came together in such a vital moment. In fact, complaining did nothing to change the situation, I went to CSU just with a very strange mood which couldn’t be discribed. I was still very sad when I just settled down there, but things happening later proved I would not be in singapore, if I didn’t go to CSU, or I didn’t choose my major. Because in CSU, I have the chance to attend the exam and won the chance to be interviewd and tested by professors from Singapore, I know not so many schools have the project with Singapore,and most of these school select fixed people to attend the tests of Singapore without giving chances to others. I don’t think I would be selected in that way. If coming to Singapore can be called a success, I owe it to my roommates especially the one who is so good at oral English. She is so helpful that she helped me to correct my pronunciations. And in our dormitory we spoke English for two weeks, which greatly improved my spoken English. That’s why I could communicate with the interviewers freely. In fact, in CSU , I also had a lot of failures, I attended many interviews to compete for aposition, and most times I failed . I failed to be selected as the class moniter, failed to enter the student union… I don’t know clearly why I failed in so many interviews till now, but I know what I gained from these---I was never afraid in an interview from then on, which contributed to my interview to study in Singapore
My story is over. Now I am in Singapore, attending a bridging couse. I do not know what will happen in the future and whether there will be good things or bad things. But one thing is certain, they all happen for some reason, and they will help build up my life.

no more a New Comer to Singapore
Though I have been here for more than one month, I do not feel I am a new comer here.After the passion of adventure faded ,I know that life is living, but not traveling and wandering here and there.After one month's life ,I have already learned how should I spent my schoollife in singapore.Singapore is a city of adventure ,but I come here for study.My first aim is study and enjoying life comes secondly.The life here should be simple for me.Friends,basketball,books,PC games,that is enough for me. I really enjoy the simple life here.
FOOD IN SG
I have come to Singapore for one month.I love this here very much,the kind people,the beautyful landscape,and also the wonderful food.you can expericence many kinds of food here,for instance Malasian food,Indonesian food,Indian food,of course including Chinese food.Although I come from China,but I am very pleased to taste other food.After our birding course is over at noon,I will go to canteen quickly,because I can't wait for delicious.After two weeks,I have almost tasted all kinds of food,I think the best one is Indonesian food,it's so nice that I can't use words to describe it,the fried chicken or pork with special jam creating the master piece to welcome us foreigners.I recommand you to have a try strongly.
My experience in Singapore
It's an unforgettable day when I arrived in Singapore .As soon as I got off the CA969 flight ,a
warm and wet feeling greeted me .I feel invited to come to this beautiful city . At night along the streets,many lights from buldings shone ,which appeared like stars in the sky.In the daytime you can find many well-shaped trees that seem to be umbrellars,giving a shade from the sun .There're many pink flowers interspersing white bridges.The view of Singapore looks like a wonderfull drawing .
The people here are friendly .Whenever you lost your way,they were there to help you .One day I went shopping in Buggis with my friends ,unforturenately we couldn't find a MRT station.So we turned to a local,the lady was so warm-hearted that she led us to the nearest station.We all feel very gratefull.
I'm proud to come to Singapore.Not only because the beautiful scenery ,but its friendly people.

Food in Singapore(YAP)
Since I came to Singapore in the last December,I have eaten in Singapore for more than a month.I should say that food in Singapore is -not terrible,but-fairly not fit with my taste.I just can't force myself to like eating it.
I always try to persuade myself to try some traditional food of Singapore,but each time,in the canteen,I would be attracted to the Chinese cookde food~~~So,that's the case,now that I never eat traditional Singaporean food,how can I tell food in Singapore don't fit my taste?It is because when we are in our hall-Eton Hall,they sometimes serve us some special food that I have never seen.I think some of the food they serve us must be traditional Singaporean food.And unfountunately,I dislike all the food Eton Hall serve us except the Yangzhou chaofan which is a kind of Chinese traditional food.

Feelings in the beginning(Yap)
Having been here for nearly one month,I has got used to the climate and routine of life here.However,after two weeks' studying,it suddenly dawns on me that my foundation of English is so poor compared to my several roommates.So excellent is their prounciation as well as the writing skills.Maybe that's the gap of teaching levels between rural areas and big cities.
But now we're at the same starting line,sharing the same studying resouces and teachers of the same teaching level .The only disadvantage I have is that my starting speed is lower.In order to catch up with them in English,I practise my prounciation every day and try my best to broaden my vocabulary .On occasion,I review my vocabulary and use them in my writing.
The scene I wrote my first journal here still remains fresh in my mind.Since I haven't written a 300-400-word composition before,I even didn't know how to organise my writing.The first draft was so owful that a mood of despondency caputured my heart.But thanks to the help of my roommate,I finished my second and third drafts much better.I am very grateful to my roommates.They have helped me to get through the most difficult starting period.
Now that I have come here,I have made up my mind to forge my success in study.But first of all,I have to aquire the competence of using English freely.English is a significant studying tool especially in this multi-cultural environment.I was a loser of the National College Entrance Examination last year,but won't be of my life in NUS.

living in eton hall
the first time i got to eton ,i was quite depressed because it is so poor that it has out of my expectation so much.my room is so small and even has no windows,which ,as a result ,makes the room lack of light to become dacker.i hated it so much that i even want to escape from this bull place .food in the morning is awful .nothing will we see except bread.moreover ,the milk and the melo that are given to us are even made of hot water and something that is not natural which tastes really bad .moreover ,the eating habbits here are quite diffferent from those at home as they eat simplely at noon while the suppers are more colourful,which,to some extent,makes me become much fatter.i don't think this habbit is a healthy one for most people.we have fruits in suppers instead of lunches and what's worse ,we could just eat no more than one piece at one time .study time is from 8 to 10 pm at night,during which we are not allowed to do anything that are not related to studies.however ,most of us are studying the same time chatting on MSN.it ,though ,i think is not quite a good learning habbit , does not care much about our study results .if we are caught chatting on the internet ,our laptop would be kept my aunties for some time .as far as i am concerned ,it is not an effecient way to do so,even could make things worse.the door would be closed at an early certain time for us.isn't it not proper to limit us so much?we are no more children ,and shouldn't we be given more freedom in some aspects?
MY FRIENDS IN SINGPORE
To me,Singporans are really very friendly .It is the first time I have come to Singpore and the first time I go outside without any families being with me ,but I do not feel lonely at all cause many natives here are willing to be my friends even though they do not know me very much and help me.I am really appreciated for their kindness.
I think Gary is my first friend here.He is always so energective that off and on he took us to go hiking around Singapore and for day long he sliped here and there happily while us all had been exhausted totally .The activities he organised for us Chinese students are all out of his voluntary.He expects not for any rewards ,but for our friendship .Yeah ,he really deserves our friendship!

My experiense in Singapore(YSM)
So far,I have been in Singapore for about a mouth.I've experiense many things.
The thing impressed me most is the way we study.In our English class,unlike in China,we have a lot of chances to speak instead of just keep reading and writing.The class here is more lively and the teaching styles are different.We are often divided into 4or5 groups to discuss something or work a promgram and so on together.The tutor here are also very good.They try their best to help us in both English learning and improving our abilities.For example,they ask us to do oral report one by one every day in order to improve our skills in talking in front of many people.In my opinion,the tutors care about not only our grades but also our abilities of communicating,lecturing and so on which will be very useful things in the futher.So even though now I'm just a student taking his bridging course,I'm sure after I graduate from NUS ,I will have a bright future.
Anther thing which moved me most is the warm welcome given by the seniors even though we did not know each other before.Yesterday,they treat us a big meal and give us some useful advices.They treat us as their own brothers and sisters.They teach us how care make people feel warm.

My feeling about singapore
I have been to singapore for one month .I still remember day when I landed on the sinpore ,with a lot of excitement and curiosity .Time flies! One month has passed.Having stayed for one month ,I got to know more about the singapore.Singapore is really clean and tidy where there is almost no dirt everywhere .At the same time .The climate here is also quite different from that of China,having a wet and rainy climate.After about two-week wait,we finally entered the NUS to have lessons,which is really a world famous university.At least ,I like the NUS with great conditions,To sum up ,I am enjoying the time here!!
The meeting with the seniors of Sichuan University
Yesterday was really impressive,when I first met the seniors of our Sichuan University and enjoyed a really wonderful dinner with them.I was told that they would come at 3:00 on Sunday several days ago,which made me think of it day and night.And,when they just showed up,I found it the most perfect thing to meet those guys.There were actually 9 of them coming,except one who was really busy.At the very beginning,they first introduced themselves and what a suprise that I even found out one of them came from the same high shcool as mine!What 's more,he,who is named Xiao qiling,figured out that he had really seen me somewhere before in our high school!What a fortune to have met someone who knows me queit much in such a new place here!I can imagine what a good help he will be in the future.And except him,there are also many of them who comes from Sichuan.Chatting with them in Sichuan Hua,I found it so wonderful as if I were back in Sichuan again!
After talking lively and for quite a long period,the seniors came up with the idea to take us to eat something tasty outside.Of course,it was really very nice of them to rescue us from suffering the terribly awful food in Eton Hall.Well,I know it is not very good to say so,but I know it is just what most of us thinks.Then,they took us to a place beside the Singapore River to eat Xi'an food.Two of us which comes from Xi'an were really happy.For me,I also enjoyed the dinner for so long not eating some really Chinese food and getting rid of the terrible food in Eton Hall and the food served that night was anyway so delicious.I really enjoyed myself that night!
At last,I really want to thank the guys!How wonderful it is to be with them!

My First BBQ Experience(Lugg. 7)
Yesterday,which happened to be a fine lovely day,I ,with the other 10 mates,was taken to Labrodor Reserve to barbecue by our seniors.It was after a quite long and hard walk that we finally reached where we were supposed to have the barbecue.Beside the sea, we ,with joy and excitement,start our wild,noisy and busy work.It was the first time to barbecue for many of us, resulting the situation that we all wanted to do the barbecue.What we ate were really various, concluding mutton,steak,chicken legs,corns and even a kind of candy,whose English name is out of my vocabulary.The drinks were green tea and black tea.After eating,we talked a lot about the majors,which is a main concern for us.Surprisingly,we found how much waste we've produced! About the time the sun went down,we headed our way back to Eton Hall,ending our first experience of BBQ.We all felt satisfactory not only simply about the food ,but also the feeling of being together.
(YAP)First month in Singapore
After all these days staying in Singapore, I find myself quite easy to be accustomed to the environment here, although it was a little bit different from that of my hometown, wetter and hotter. The most impressive thing to me is the trees , which seem to have been growing here for hundreds and thousands years. They are trying so hard to stretch their branches up into the sky, maybe not only for a better view of this country, but to provide people with great pleasure to walk under their huge shade. I'm attractted to this beautiful green, drawn in by the positive attitude it has been showing. And I think there is no one but longs to live and study in such an agreeable environment. Hopefully all of you could enjoy yourselves as I do.
It Is More Than A Fairy Tale
After our tutor Ms Yap Swi Neo recommending many books to us,I carefully chose a book named "A LITTLE PRINCESS".At first,I didn't know what the book is about.I chose it just because it has an attractive title.As I reading it,I reconised that it is the story of a little girl,Sara,who was a favoured missus before her dad's death.Indeed,I had read about the story when I was young,but it is a picture book.I didn't expect to learn much from a book for children orginally,however,as I read it day by day,I was moved by the little girl's kindness,bravery,grace to everybody,even to the venomous people who made her suffered a lot.No doubt that I have learnt a lot from the book,not only get close to the language,culture of western countries,but also have a brief understanding of the days in the long past years when the gap between different classes is so significant.In the end,I want to share the words Sara spoke to herself when everything seemed so bad with everyone:"If I am a princess in rags and tatters,I can be a princess inside.It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold,but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it."
My Experience In Singapore
How time flies! It's already a month since I arrived in Singapore. I have met new friends,tasted new food,and most of all, experienced new life here.
I spent my first few days here shopping with my friends.I felt that my English is so poor when I tried to tell the shop assisstant what I was looking for. Luckily she was very helpful and got someone who can speak Chinese to help me. I was determined to improve my oral English so that I won't be so confused when I go shopping.
I've also been to some interesting places such as Sentosa,Botanic Garden and Hort Park. The scenery was very beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves. The only pity was that I forgot to apply suncream on the day to Sentosa and I was a bit sunburnt. But it's okay,I don't really mind.
When I talk about the food in Singapore, I have to say that there are so many kinds of food that it can make me dazzy. The diversity of food here is really something that you cannot enjoy.
Every time I have my meal in a canteen, I try something different. I don't even know the names of the dishes, but when I come across something that fit my taste, I will memorize the name of the dish and order it someday.
I have been living on a regular timetable here in Singapore. I get up at 6:00,go to classes,return to the hostle,and go to bed at 11:00. Life here is peaceful and enjoyable.
The most important thing is that we're all making rapid progress. I enjoy my life in Singapore.
I spent my first few days here shopping with my friends.I felt that my English is so poor when I tried to tell the shop assisstant what I was looking for. Luckily she was very helpful and got someone who can speak Chinese to help me. I was determined to improve my oral English so that I won't be so confused when I go shopping.

My experience in Singapore(JEGA)
My memory just comes back to the first day in the lion city when we arrived on this beautiful contry on December 16th 2008.The feeling when I just stepped out of Changi airport was so impressive.A humit warm wind just stuck me .The weather is so different from that in my hometown where it is in winter.But after a few days I just find that the temperature is not so untolerate,it sometimes makes you feel comfortble .
When eating in Singapore ,it's still quite different from my hometown.I have found that the vegetables are cooked very mild but when it comes to meats,the tastes are so strong that they may have many kinds of flavors.As Singapore is a country filled up with many different races,all kinds of food are here for you.I have heard that the Indian food doesn't fit we Chinese,so I haven't have a taste of it.It is still very good that many Chinese food are avilable here.Maybe you can have Sichuan hotpot and even dumplings.
The people here are very friendly ,when I happened to forget the way ,many locals are ready to help me.They will show you the way and the buses you can take ,they are very warm-hearted.I also meet many Chinese Singaporeans,although they look like Chinese,but many of them can't speek Chinese,so I just communicate with them in English.

My first blog(JEGA)
I am so ashamed say that this is my first blog, perhaps because just I don't like typing for my laziness. Now I feel a bit excited when I'm writing in fact ,just like when I wrote my first diary at my young age. It's a kind of first experiences which brings something new to my everyday life.
When I think back, I always I am not a very fashionable person, since I seldom use computers to do other things except chatting with QQ and watching movies online.Never before did I realise that I was in an age of computer anyway, as it didn't play a very vital part in my life in China. In China I didn't hand in signments by email and were instructed to blog by our teachers. To tell the truth, I was a sort of surprised after being told we would hand in most assignments by mailing through the Internet and also need to blog online in Singapore. I do think this will make our study different from before. In our motherland, handwriting is considered very important ,for we nearly turn in everything in paper. But now I think typing can be in the same position as handwriting. In the past, we always admired those who wrote well ,however in the future we might admire those who type fast more. I am looking forward to seeing myself becoming a good typer someday.
Though I haven't written blogs before , I do think blogs can do something helpful to me. It indeed helps us remember things and feelings we once came across, which easily fade if not recorded especially for forgetable people. Actually, I am one of those who memory poorly. I think blogging will help me a lot in storing my precious memories.

My first visit to the zoo of Singapore(ML)
The zoo of Singapore is world famous and become one of the most important toursit destinations in Singapore.I went to the zoo with my friends on a quie hot day after a long time on the subway.Actually there were a lot of people that day.The first impression on me when I came into the zoo was that I was in the jungle in Africa.There were a lot of trees and many kinds of flowers which I almost didn't know. Then we fllowed the guidance on the map to visit our "friends".In fact,we see a lot of animals ,such as,chimpanzees,lions,rhinoceros.What interested me most was the solar bears.As we all know solar bears live in the north pole,which means they need a cold environment to live in.However,the temperature here is pretty high,how can solar bears live in Singapore?I thought there was no possibility to see solar bears but the fact proved that I was wrong.The moment I saw a solar bear I was definitely amazed and excited because I never saw a real one before.Therefore,my feeling of the zoo was great.Although the price is a little bit high,it is worth the money visiting it .
