Alice's notebook entry: Nov 13, 2010 Today is a big day for me. I finally went to the Guilin Merryland Theme Park with one of my roommates. Getting up at 6o'clock, we had to catch a bus and got to another campus where we would get on the bus towarding the destiny before 8 o'clock. We were not able to reach the campus directly with one bus, so we changed another one at the train station. I had no time to have breakfast before setting out and I could not have it on the bus because of my carsickness. As we were not familiar with the Yucai campus, I did not intend to waste time and found somewhere to have something to eat. We would have missed the bus if we did not run a race against time. Finally, I got on the bus duly without breakfast. The bus went and stopped, and then repeated this process because we wre facing the trafic jam. Unfortunately, this made me feel very terrible and uncomfortable. What's worse, I could not help throwing up. This situation did not change until I vomited again. I did not dare eat the cake I brought with me. The smell of it seemed telling me it would make me vomit again. It was a very long jurney to the destiny.

Alice's notebook entry: Nov 08, 2010 Today, I happento know a friend who also wants to improve his English. It seems that we can help each other with our English. Actually, I want to know someone who is from a English-speaking country and trying to learn Chinese.As Chinese, I can help him or her learn Chinese. On the other hand, he or her can also help me improve my English. I have been learning English for 8 years at school. In this way, I have learnt basic things of English, such as grammer, writing, spelling and listening but seldom in speaking. We are under great pressure to prepare for the university entrence exam. Teachers value our abilities in the exam than anything else. Now, I am very upset about my oral English and try to find a partner with whom I can practice my oral English. At the sane time, I will help him or her with his or her learning Chinese.

Alice's notebook entry: Nov 07, 2010 Recently, I have been very upset. I don't know why.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself I am a junior student in a university and major in business English. Coming from a small city in south of China, I am a little shy and not so confident in myself. I have been trying to adjust myself to my celloge life. Though I have done well in exams and got good results, I am not satisfied with my performance bacause I am not very active in anwering the teachers' questions. After class, I seldom take part in other activities. As I am an English major, I want to learn more about it and I would like to find a job that is relevant to English after my graduation.
