Chinese Valentine's day Today is Chinese Valentine's day, it is called 七夕. The Ancient Chinese people set this day based on the lunar calendar. As the name suggests, lunar calendar is based on the activities of the moon. Start from lunar calendar, Chinese people further have 24 solar terms which stand for 24 weather change points of a year, the ancient Chinese farm cultivated the land according to those key points. Apart from the 七夕, most of important festivals of China stem from lunar calendar, such as, the biggest and famous festival for all Chinese people, the Chinese new year, as well as lantern festival, dragon boat festival and mid-autumn festival. We also have diverse eating habit during this festivals. For example, we eat dumplings for the Chinese new year, Yuanxiao(Glutinous Rice Balls) for lantern festival. As the time goes by, the way we celebrate these special days is changing too, it's more like a combination, we may celebrate them in a new way, but we will always remember the reason why we celebrate them and also those very old sayings and culture behind them.

IELTS writing exam Question: The government money should be invested in teaching science rather than other subjects so as to help a country make progress and develop. To what extant do you agree or disagree? It cannot deny how the importance of science exerting on our life and promoting the whole world to make a big change. However, it doesn’t mean government should put more money on science education instead of other subjects. Nowadays, the explanation of every thing happening and the development of the society seem to based on the science, such as, black hole, colony, and aliens etc. Science is a basic subject and covers a variety of side, such as, math, physics, chemistry and biology, and a method to analyze and solve the problem. It has to admit that the earlier the students to exposure the science, the more prefect thinking and concepts to think about the issues. Although the progress of the country needs the students who equipped with science from school, at the meanwhile, it also needs the talents who are good at other aspects. As we know, in 21st century, technology changes human’s life style and bring us into a totally new world. In addition, with the development of globalization, the cooperation and culture exchange are getting more frequently, students not only to study culture, economy, politics, but also the language. Whatever how the country is developing, young people should not to forget the history. More importantly, the strong and healthy youngsters are the hope and future of a nation, so government should spend money on building gym, swimming pool, basketball court and other facilities for them to do more exercise. Hence I believe it is necessary to government to support school for teaching every subject by fiance, and let the student to choose which subject they are most interest in learning. To short, in order to develop and improve the country, government has the responsibility to not only invest money on science, but also other subjects.

The 24 hours bookstore The day before yesterday, I saw a piece of news on internet, it was an interview given by a manager from a bookstore. The picture of that bookstore caught my eyes immediately, because it is a very familiar bookstore for me even I have never been there. I remembered at the moment that the bookstore is just on the roadside where I have to pass every day to go and off work. The reason why the journalist interviewed her is that this is a 24 hour bookstore which is pretty rare in Beijing recently. The bookstore has two floors, first floor and ground floor. Rather than regard it as a bookstore, it is more likely to be a library. Sighs saying you can only take one book to read and put it back after read are everywhere, and they also offer you seats and tables. This store is really my cup of tea I think, I prefer to a place where all people there are doing the same thing like reading, and when you are in the same place, you immerged, you will keep reading for a long time without a stop, because everyone else is reading, you don’t want to lose. So after work that day, I went to that store to take a look, it was just like what I had imagined. It is comfortable, cozy and quiet. I love store and I wish I could go there as much as I can in recent months.

The Revengers My girlfriend and I went to see the movie "The revengers" today. It is one part of the Marvel Comics Series. She has never seen any of them before. I've seen some of them but I am not a fan about this too. Before we went to see this movie, I told her that if you don't want to see this, we can choose another one or do somethings else. Then she gave me a ridiculous reason that she thinks she will fall behind her peers if she doesn't see this movie. The result is, she fell asleep five times during the movie! During the movie, she kept asking me questions about story backgrounds of characters, like "who is he? who is she? what is the relationship between he and she?" and every time she woke up, she asked those questions all over again! I was exhausted by her questions whole time. She also told me to not let her see movies like this ever. At that time I thought, on this point, we finally reached a consensus~

Saipan About two months ago, I and my girlfriend went to the Saipan island for a five day trip. It is a very beatiful and peaceful small island. The local people told us that the sea there has seven diverse colors. And we confirmed that too. We spent a whole day on the Managaha Island which is a affiliated Island of saipan, it is tiny but very amazing. We went snorkling there and enjoyed the sunshine there. But after that, we suffered from a very serious sunburn because we didn't wear sunscreen termly according to the tour guide's instrcution. Even now, I still got stripes on my thighs.

The first short article Today is my first day using italki. Last Friday I asked my boss for a raise, but today I got the words back that they will only increase my insurance base and give me the raise I want five months ago. Actually I felt a little bit upset. I think that this job cannot let me make full use of my abilities as well as I cannot get the salary I want. I've tried to find some other jobs but it does not work until now. So I am a little confused right now, I need this job's money to make a living and i also want to save some money for gap year, but I do not like this job that much. It feels like a dilemma for me, what should I do now?
