what is your sterotype of Girl with glasses

A few weeks ago, one of my friend called me: " can you pick me up, I am in the bar, and I afraid I got drunk, so me and my other friend go to the bar, she was a little bit drunk and a boy was flirting with her and try to take her to anther bar, when we show up, we tried to took her out of the bar, then the boy with his friends stopped us and want to invited all of us to the bar, But I said no  and insisted to take my friend leave, then the boy said, : I know it, you girls with glasses are so boring!!"

Well, apparently the girl with glassed are consider less attract than other girls, but I like to know what is your stereotype of girls with glasses.

what is the most awkward moment when you speak English

For me, is actually didn't made me awkward, but my teacher.  Once (background:I was a middle school student who just start learning english)I asked a young male foreign teacher, do you like beach, but my pronunciation was bad, it turn into do you like bi@ch. My English teacher was supper awkward , and try to fix my pronunciation, but I guess it didn't work.I was still asked him, do you like bi@ch, so he told me, I like beach, but I don't like what you just said, I can't hear the difference, so I asked, are their any difference? his look was like, gosh, I don't want to talk about this with you anymore!Can you please leave me alone.

After a few years later, I finial can tell the difference between those2 words, and know the meaning of bi@ch...

Do you knock the watermelon before you buy one?

I don't know about other countries, but in China when you buy a watermelon, the first step is  knocking on the watermelon to pick up a good one, for me even though I have no ideal the difference sound between the good one and the bad one, but still I would knock before I buy one or at least ask the  People who sell the melon help me to knock.

I just read a news about an Italian supermarket asked their customs stop knocking the watermelon any more because it won't respond you. After read news people in China get confused, and don't understand it all, they comment "It is so disrespectful to the watermelon","A good watermelon deserve being knocked""How do the watermelon who is not being knock feel about himself? ""how do other watermelon feel about him".

Is it a common sense to pick up a  good watermelon by knock a watermelon  or a backward habit that  should be stopped for you. I would like to know is there any other way to tell what is a good watermelon,after all the summer is coming.<o:p></o:p>

Would you carry bags for your girlfriend It is quite common to see Chinese men carry bags for their GF or wife, I heard it is quite different in other country, men would think it quite strange to carry a lady's bag, what would you think about that?  Would you like to carry bags for your girlfriend if you are a boy or do you feel strange to let your boyfriend carry bags for you if you are a girl

A nice trip in Singapore Last week, I went to Singapore, It is a very nice country, people are very nice, when I am lost in the street, I asked a local for help, she is so nice to guided me and showed me the road even it is the opposite direction for her, and the whole city is very clean, and the whole city is like a big garden, the only bad thing is the weather is too hot, my friend who lived there 4 years told me in Singapore, it also has 4 seasons, they are hot, very hot, dam hot and I can not bare it hot, and live in Singapore is easy to catch a code, because you would be sweat outside just for 1 min, but when you go into a building or public transportation, the air condition made the room very cold, so a lot of people catch a code due to temperature changed. I stayed there 4 days, I went to the universal studio, I love the "transformer", it has a lot of fun. I also went to see the merlion, it looks cute, I have a lot of fun there.

It is so hard to find job for petroleum major students this year This year because the oil price went down and a lot of oil company cut down their jobs, although most Chinese oil companies don't have mass layoff plans, it is sure that they won't hire new people, so a lot of students can't find a job this years.I worked at a software company, our company's products are used by some oil company, so we have some petroleum related position, each year we will hire some new crews, and recently I was doing some HR's job, so everyday I browser hundreds CV, but we only need 3 or 4 people. I feel sorry to the students they were so eager to find a job, but the market just don't need them.
