- My awkward situation (3) I updated my situation a few times by sending emails to the professor just wanted let him know I was trying my best to get through the hard application process. He replied me every time until the end of Oct, last year. After I received my formal certification from the provincial Education Bureau, I sent him an email to ask a new acceptance letter before Chinese New year but I haven’t received any responds. During the time I sent him email at least 3times, called him but he was not there and I left voice message. I even asked a French girl whom I knew recently to call his coworkers in French to sure that he still works in that university. ( Thanks god, there are always people who like to help me when I need help.) After several times no person answered the phone, we luckily reached a secretary in his office on Wednesday. She told us the professor had lesson at that time, she would tell him after his lesson. I sent him an email again but I haven’t received any responds. The deadline of my grant is the end of next year. It means I have to go to Belgium before the end of next year. What can I do? To find another professor or wait his respond? Although I can find another professor, I really want to know what happened on him and what he thinks about me. Anyway, it seems I have to take responsibility for all the delays throughout the application process. As my coworker who went to UK a few year ago as a visiting scholar said “ getting through the application process make you exhausted ,you can go until you don’t want to go any places anymore”.March 29, 201410
奴拉格古代的社会 The ancient nuragic civilization
在萨丁亚有很多史前的痕迹遗址,包括奴拉格,小铜像和小仙女的家,都是铜器时代建造的。
你逛着乡村 在乡村逛逛,就可以看见这些比较高的建筑:
奴拉格看到一下子就能认得出,它们有塔形状。奴拉格是一种主要的萨丁尼亚史前的建筑。萨丁亚的风景还有七千奴拉格站起来(不明白你要说的意思)。有人说谁奴拉格是一座墓穴,还有人说谁说是一种塔。
在萨丁亚还有一座小的雕塑和另一种史前的痕迹遗迹:
除了其他手工艺的创造(用作品这个词更好些)以外,小铜像也许代表战士的英气士气或日常生活的工具。小铜像高个子(在中文里个子通常只是说人的身高)三十九公分。
小仙女的家是凿透岩石的墓穴建筑。它的根据是这样一个故事,“很久前在萨丁亚生活着一起一种很小的古人和一种很大的古人。大古人住在奴拉格,小古人住在这些洞穴”。
有时很多小仙女家跟别的小仙女家联系,创造一个大幕地。那里墙面上你还看岩石的象形(这是什么意思?)。
今天我们看到的那些铜器时代的建造代表了萨丁尼亚的文明,奴拉格被考古学家认为奴拉格是欧洲最大的巨石建筑。你写的很好!

I was really upset when my boss told me that I really couldn’t get the grant as they promised. Fortunately heaven never seals off all exits. I was told I could apply for the government grant for being a visiting scholar. The point was how to explain it to the professor that I would postpone my arrival date. I didn’t think that a foreign professor from a westen country could believe that a president of a university could break his words and I had to apply for a new grant. As I had to waiting for the new grant and couldn’t go to Belgium as I expected, I told the professor that my grant had to get the permission from the government just because my university was a public university. What I said was true but not whole true. Half true is a whole lie, so I felt shamed when I got the reply from the professor. He was so nice that he said he knew the public university and hoped me get through smoothly.
According to the process , every applicant had to be interviewed in English. I started the second hard step " practise oral English". I knew a American guy who worked at my university and could speake Chinese very well after he had lived in China for one year. As my oppinion, if a person who can speak a new language very well after learning a short time, he must know how to learn and practise the new language. That is the quality to be a good teacher . So I decided to invite him to be my English tearcher. I have to say it is one of the wisest decision I have ever made. I had 4 times English lessons every week. I have to tell a story , write a notebook every time .My teacher didn't allow me speak chinese even one words! He told me to see the American talk show without subtitles. At the begining , I couldn't understand , but my teacher said :"go on". To make a long story short, I was interviewed in 19th, Aug,2013 and finally got the grant from CHINA SCHOLERSHIP COUNCIL. The project was cooperation program between CSC and provincial Education Bureau. The provincial Bureau should pay for these visiting scholars but CSC hadn't received the fund, so I haden't received the formal certification untill the end of the 2013. The problem is my acceptence letter was already overdue and need to be updated. I have to ask the professor to send me a new one.0 votedMarch 27, 20142- My awkward situation(2) I was really upset when my boss told me that I really couldn’t get the grant as they promised.

My awkward situation(1)
Tow year ago, my boss told me, according to a project of our university, if I received an acceptance letter from a foreign university, I would get a one-year-grant from my university for my studying in that university. It was really a great opportunity for me to expand my horizon, promote my professional level as well as travel. I sent tons of emails to the professors who worked in the same research field with me and lived in Europe. Most of my emails just liked stone sinked in the ocean without any respond. Finally after half a year, I received an acceptance letter from a professor who works in a university in Belgium . I thought cheerfully that the most difficult part of the process of being a visiting scholar was finished till then before I asked my president's permission for my grant. That morning I got up early than usual, dressed up, took my acceptance letter and went to the main campus. It was the first time I talked to the president of my university. I even couldn’t say it was a talk. After I told him that I received an acceptance letter from a university in Belgium and asked for his permission. I couldn’t image what he said even in my dream. He looked angry and said “how can you apply for our university’s grant, don’t you know our university’s finance is so tight? Why don’t you apply for the government grant? You just don’t want to pass the exam!” I was so shocked when I heard his words. I asked the president how I explain my situation to the professor who gave me the acceptance letter. Our president said “it is your problem”. From then on , I really faced a big problem that was how to explain my situation to the professor without being consided as a liar.
