I love Japanese Drama/TV show. It shows me the strong spirit of nationality. Besides, the love theme, Japanese drama always tells people something in the daily life. Something that everybody, even a little kid, knows about, but also easily to be ignored.
From the drama/TV show, I could be told that Japanese people love their life and have great passion upon it. The TV shows often contain a lot of strong discussion elements. Such elements provide the room for the audiences to think, to have self-reflection and to improve their life. The drama about school and friendship, every time when I see such themes, I could learn something from it.
I find that in Japanese drama, education should be creative, flexible and happy. Learning something new should be the happy and enjoyable process. The world is so wonderful; it is full of puzzles and mysterious things which are waiting for human beings to find out the answers. And there are also so many possibilities on our earth. It means there are so many different keys to the same questions. 1 plus 1 is not always to be 2, it also can be 10, 11, 0 or 1 itself, since it based on distinct theories and logical systems.
See! I just learnt the “1+1” in the drama, it is interesting and amazing. Once people have grown up, the first or the most easily thing to be thrown away is the curiosity. Kids love to ask this, ask that, why this happens, why that happens, what makes this or that happen. So many questions come out of the kids’ mouths. However, not so many adults would do what kids do. That’s so woeful.
People always go without saying, like 1+1=2. But not so many people can answer why 1+1=2. We all know the result, but don’t know the reason. We always believe or convince what we are told, nevertheless we seldom question why or how it comes. What’s the worse, when a child asks his teacher why 1+1=2, the teacher even thinks that he is a troublemaker. Wow! It should not be like that. Sometimes, we can not deny that the most ordinary question is the greatest question.
I love creative ideas. I also love the freedom of thinking. I’d love to see there exists so many different ideas, opinions or minds in the world. Such stuff could help us to improve ourselves and to have the evolution. And it is amazing!

Life is a fight from cradle to heaven…

Look forward to it for a long time. How long? Well, maybe a week or a month?! Today is the last day of September, tomorrow is 1^st Oct—The National Day of P.R.C. A great day,

From tomorrow to next Sunday I will have a 7-day holiday. Do not know how to spend these days. Hang out with friends or stay at home and study. Maybe both. That sounds good.

National Day, has no special feelings about it. Each one is just the same, nothing particular.

Feel a little bit helpless!

Happy National Day!

Directions: Here are six questions about your approach to life. Try to answer them as honestly as you can. You may find the results revealing.

l         Are you hard driving and competitive?

l         Are you usually pressed for time?

l         Are you bossy or dominating?

l         Do you have a strong need to excel in most things?

l         Do you eat too quickly?

l         Do you get upset when you have wait for anything?

If you have answer “yes” to most of these questions then I can make

a few predictions about you, base on a recent eight-year study of nearly 2,000 people who live the way that you do.

You probably find that life is full of challenges and you often

need to keep 2 or more projects moving at the same time. The chances are that you have been to college, that you have a management job and that you bring work home at night. You think that you put more effort into your job than many of the people you work with, and you certainly take your work more seriously than most of them. You get irritated easily, and if someone is being long-winded, you help them get to the point. You also have trouble finding the time to get your hair cut.

And there’s one other thing. You are about twice as likely to have a heart attack as someone who takes a more easygoing approach to life.

The mention of heart attacks probably makes you thing that surveys like this only apply to men. After all, men up to middle age in the US and Britain have about 4 times more coronaries than women do. But women suffer too, if they adopt this same hard-driving, competitive, time urgent lifestyle. Working women living this way are twice as likely to develop coronary disease as those who are more relaxed.

You might expect things to be different for housewives, since living at home should cause less hassle than going out to work, and as a group, housewives in this study were more easygoing. But some felt the same time pressures as women with outside jobs; the sense that thongs would get out of control unless they tried all the time to keep on top. Those who felt this suffered three times as much heart disease as those who didn’t, whether they looked after an office or a home. And women with children, who were married to blue-collar workers and were holding down clerical jobs at the same time, had the highest heart disease risk of all.

The beginnings of your hard-driving behavior go right back to childhood. In school you got recognition and perhaps prizes for being quick and bright, for being an achiever, for competing with others and for winning. You probably went on from school to get a series of increasingly better jobs against pretty stiff competition. They were jobs where you had to care about the results, where you constantly had to push things forward and get things done. In your present job you also feel some conflict, either with time or with other people. Some of those you work with don’t seem able to grasp the simplest ideas, and they often put a brake on what you’re trying to achieve. The conflict may not erupt every day. You pride yourself on being able to keep the lid on. But it’s always there, under the surface.

Once again, I saw this film/story again. I do like this story which is written by Jane Austen.

I still remember vividly the first time when I saw this film was 2006. Well I mean the 1995-version which was produced by BBC impressed me deeply. This TV version was divided into 6 episodes. And each one was about 50 minutes. I came across to see this drama on TVB Pearl as I turned on my TV one night. At first, I didn’t know what it was though I saw the name of the story; I didn’t really know the meanings of the words. However, after I have seen the film for about 15 minutes, I got to know the words’ Chinese. But I still haven’t any idea about what the story going to tell.

So, I went to my computer and searched some information. Through the introduction on the internet, at last, I have a general idea about the story and from that moment on, I began to be interested in and love this love story.

You know, there is a law of the TVB Pearl to play the dramas. It usually plays one episode a week. That means I have to spend 6 weeks to see the whole story. Wow! It could be so excruciating. I am fond of the story and I can’t wait that long. So, I decided to download it by the internet and keep it in my computer till today. Well, I did. Then I saw the whole story in only 2 days. I was so happy about that.

I love the characters, the clothes and the scenes which displayed in the drama, and of course, the actors and the actresses, especially Colin Firth who acted as Mr. Darcy. I think he acted really well, he did show Mr. Darcy’s character and personality, which is proud, arrogant and conceit but in fact really kindhearted and nice, vividly to the audiences. What’s more, I have seen the film version which was produced in 2004. To be honest, I don’t appreciate that one for it does not really match the story of the book seriously but the 1995 version.

Though I have seen the whole story on TV, I didn’t feel contented. Then I searched the Chinese-translation version of the book and read it in a day. It was a crazy time. After I have read the Chinese version, I got to know more about the story and its details. Well, that is not contented for me. Then I went on reading its original text which was written in English. It is a big challenge for me though I have read the Chinese one. And that’s why, till today I still haven’t finished my reading of this book. But I think I will keep going and try.

Last Saturday, Xen asked me to help him to find out some reading notes of the English masterpieces. As his English homework, he has to write one. But I don’t have such things. Then he asked me to introduce some English masterpieces and he would search on the internet. So, I introduced some of my books on my shelf. At last, he decided to write the reading-notes about the Pride and Prejudice. Well, I know that he is poor at English and then I helped him to find some articles which talks about the story in English. Let him choose and combine the articles in his one.

Of course, during this process, I did learn more about the story, such as its background, the main idea and the 7 marriages in it. Those articles brought me to another world and helped me to see, to read and to think this story in different angles. Before I read these articles, yes, I did know the plot of the story very well for I have seen the TV version many times. But I know that’s not enough, I should go on studying about the story, especially its background and the written purpose.

I think, maybe in the future, I would try to write an English reading-note about Pride and Prejudice which is not the homework but the real note.

This time, the company establishes an office in Shanghai, recently another one in Guangzhou. They want to open up the market of China and let more Chinese people pay more attention to Egypt. So the company wants to interview some college students in order to get some recruits and enlarges itself. The people they want are some English interpreters which is full-time and part-time. Of course, I would take the part-time one.

I first met a young lady who is just graduated from our college. After I have filled a form about myself, she led me to a table and we both sat down and then began to talk. She read my resume and asked me to introduce myself in English. Then, she asked me some questions such as how I think of my hometown, how much I know about Egypt, and how I think about the visit to Egypt. I told my opinions to her and talked some experiences of me to her. I think we talked so happily and so well.

Then the first applicant came out of the boss’s office, I went into the room. The boss is a tall and strong man who is about 50. He looks so smart and experienced. He asked some questions about the job and let me talk about my opinions on some problems or phenomenon. I talked a lot, and really, I told what I want. I do think that I get a chance to express myself. I really appreciate about it.

These two parts of the interview took me nearly an hour and a half. I think I did get something and learn something from it. At least, at that moment or now, I don’t really care whether they would take me but I am really happy about this experience.

Well, this is my first interview.
