Snowman I'm living in the north of China now, but my hometown is in the south. It‘s warm in the south ,so snow is rare to see in my hometown. The first time that I saw snow was at the age of eight. I still remember that we got a day off because of it. It's very beautiful. I didn't see it until I came to the north. At the first year, I missed the first snow because I was on the train home that time. It was really a pity. Fortunately , I saw it last year, which is the second time in my life. Now it's winter again,and it's becoming colder. I am dreaming of building a big snowman. It must be of great fun.

What's the meaning of "soak it"? I saw the word "soak it" in the TV series Modern Family. The dad said it to his son when he was teaching his son a lesson because the son have done something bad. Does it mean "remenber it"? How to use it ?

Hanfu, the traditional costume of the Han nationality in China I think most of you haven't heard of Hanfu,neither do some Chinese people. Since Hanfu is an essential part of Chinese culture,I'd like to share what I know about it here. Hanfu is the traditional clothing worn by the Han Chinese ethnic group. (Han nationality is one of China's 56 nationalities, which takes up over 90 percent of the population of China.) It has a long history, which can be traced back to the beginning of Chinese civilization. However,it was eliminated during the Qing dynasty. Hanfu is very beautiful and elegant. During thousand of years, Hanfu changed for different styles in different periods,but the main part of it was kept. Hanfu reflects our own ethnic's culture to a large extent. China is alse called HuaXia.Hua means the beauty of Chinese clothing,and Xia refers to etiquette ,which has been praised highly by Chinese people for thousands of years. As the carrier of Chinese civilization, Hanfu is now welcomed by many people especially young people.They wear Hanfu in their daily lives, which is considerd strange by some people.In my view, it is really a good thing to do. I think Hanfu will be accepted and loved by more and more people.

Put our phones down Recently, I read a serie of photography works named REMOVE. In the pictures, the photographer remove all the cellphones or tablets people holding. Because of the removement, people in the pictures look weird because they are all watching their hands. They don't talk to families or friends even though they're right by their side. I think the reason why the photographer do this is to show us that we spend far too much time on electronics rather than on people around us. It is thought-provoking.Maybe sometimes we'd better put our phones down ,chat with people we love and laught out loudly. That's real life, isn't it?

What's the difference betweenそうかandそうですね? Are they the same? And what should I keep in mind if I want to use them?
