    rice noodles and noodles Note: In the south of China, rice noodles are different from noodles. The former is more common and texture. Nearly all the southern people love it. The latter tastes more delicate and smooth, and really melt in your mouth. It's suited for those people who have a bad stomach. One day, I heard my colleague C called a restaurant asked for a take-out lunch." I want a Laoyou rice noodles." I was very surprised and strange because C had a bad stomach and always asked noodles not rice noodles. So I shouted at her, "Noodles! " But she glanced at me and said to the phone, " Laoyou rice noodles." Well, I thought, maybe her stomach was better and wanted to change a taste. At the lunch time, C yelled, " Why they give me the rice noodles? I said I want noodles!!!" W said to her, " When you ordered your lunch online, Amy had reminded you that you wanted the noodles not the rice noodles." " I didn't hear." C said. I laughed, " I shout at you with a loud voice, and W heard my shouting. Well well well, " I laughed," I have reminded you, but you insisted. That's not my fault."

    A Funny Thing "Are you crying? " The hairtician opened his eyes wide and asked me when I blew my nose. "No." I answered. "Oh, you scared me. I thought you were crying. I have not seen a girl crying when she has her hair cut." "Yes, I'm crying." I forced a smile and played a joke,"The hair style you designed is so ugly, so I'm crying." "Well, I haven't finished yet. You can't jump to conclusion when it's not done." He smiled, " Your face is round and cute, so I design a cute and lovely style. I bet you must like it." Then he put down my bangs. Well, it looked really smart and debonaire. But it still needed some topiary. "Are you lovelorn? " He asked in a soft voice, and asked, "are you crying? " Now, I understand why he asked me this question. I had a heavy cold, and I looked very gaunt. I had a runny nose and had to blow it usually. So my nose was red, and my eyes, too. It looked like I was sad and had been cried. By the way, it was very embarrassing to do such thing in public. And there are many lovelorn girls would cut their hair short to show their decision that forget the past love and have a new life. "Well, I'm not crying. I just have a cold." I said. "I take some medicine for you, OK? " His voice was so gentle that gave me a warm feeling. "You look not very well." I shaked my head and refused. "Don't cry. I will give you a new beautiful attractive hair style." He said again. He spent 5 hours in designing my hair. His colleague said it had a long time that he didn't spend such a long time for designing. "You are so lucky." But I thought it was because he thought I was lovelorn and tried to comfort my "broken heart". Oh, what such a good boy he is. I felt funny and I'm moved by receiving the care from a stranger.

    Whose Fault is it? Yesterday was Saturday, my rest day and the day Typhoon Rammasun landed in the city I'm living. The wind and rain were very heavy, and very noisy. And the result was that I didn't have a good sleep and another busy Saturday. The bad weather made many accidents happened. For example, one of our part-time teachers, L said that she noticed she didn't feel well this morning and she couldn't go to office. But the students had been there and waiting the class began. And there was no teacher on the office at that time. " Tell the students that the lessons are put off because the teacher had a car accident on the way to the class." My boss ordered on the Weichat. Then she said to me," Amy, I know the really reason why the part-time teacher didn't come to the class. When you asked me the payment of the other part-time teacher to W's face a few days ago, I had a bad feeling that something would happen. And now, I got it. Don't do such thing next time. W and L are good friends. W must tell L the payment. So she didn't go to class today. Remember, be cunning enough next time." I felt very wronged. I asked her the question about payment in a low voice at that time. Did W still heard what I said? I went to the office to deal with something. " Amy, don't ask L go to the class next time. She's so irresponsible." W said to me. " Why? " I surprised. I thought she would intercede for L. " This morning she called and said she did't feel well, and didn't want to go to the class. She asked me to apologize to the students. Why? That's her own business. She's so irresponsible." W was really angry. But I knew what happened. W didn't heard what I said at that time, and L didn't go to the office because she didn't feel well, not because of me. I knew that's not my fault. But so what? Can I explain this to my boss? What can I do?

    No One is Irreplaceable My boss agreed with my leaving when I asked for again. "Oh, Amy, what would I do without you?" She tapped me on my shoulder. "Well, don't be worried. I will help you train a good secretary like me before my leaving." I smiled and said. My colleagues were very surprised when they received the news. "My God, our office will go to crash without you! " One of my colleagues said. "I can imagine that our boss must be hurry-scurry when you are leaving." "You are so exaggerated. I believe that the new one who takes my place also can do very well." I smiled and said. Because I know: No one is irreplaceable. That's a sad and realistic fact. "Amy, you should find a good helper like you for me. If not, I won't let you go." My boss was joking. Well, it's hard to say goodbye. But I hope I made the right decision.

    My chinese learning diary - day 3

    How did I go today? Is my sentence order correct?

    Nǐ shì è le mǎ ma?
    你 是 饿 了 吗?
    are you hungry?

    Nǐ shǐ shì    jīn tiān é  è  le mǎ ma
    你      是     今  天     饿 了       吗?
    are you hungry today?

     

    you should pay attention to your tone of your sentenses. Different tone maybe have differentmeaning, even though they are the same word, just like  Wow! Ah! well and so on. 

     

    are you hungry ? this sentence in Chinese we always say 你饿了吗? And the other sentence is that 你今天饿了吗? or 今天你饿了吗? there's no distinct difference between 你今天饿了吗?and 今天你饿了吗?just like: are you hungry today ? and today, are you hungry ? do you think there's any difference? ? If you add the word "today " "今天", the  emphasis of this sentence will be in that word "today" "今天”.

     

    And, in fact, we also can say 你是饿了吗?你今天是饿了吗? But they are different from 你饿了吗? 你今天饿了吗?

    你是饿了吗?你今天是饿了吗? the two are more official and formal.

    你饿了吗?你今天饿了吗? the two are more casual and informal.

     

    can you understand ? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

    Fight Back Some books of our company needed to be duplicated.So I went to the copy shop where I often went to before. And this time I duplicated twenty two books, while only ten before. The next day I asked the manager of this shop, " Have my photocopies done yet ?" "Yes." "Twenty two books are too heavy to me. Could I have them delivered this time? " "Well, we are not free. And they aren't not heavy at all. You can take them by yourself." I was a little angry because they always said they were not free and asked me to take the photocopies by myself. However every time I went to their shop, they were always idle. My boss always said I was too easygoing, and I should ask them to deliver. But I thought ten books was not heavy, I could take them by myself. So, I took the photocopies by myself every time before. But this time, I wouldn't. "Well, you can deliver them when you are free. " I said in calmness, " And anytime my photocopies come, the money pay. " The third day I reminded them again to deliver my photocopies as soon as I started my work. "We are not free. You take your books by your own. " He said. Now, I was really angry and said, " I don't believe you have no time at all. Every time I went to your shop, I always found you were always idle. " " It was the time you went here we were free. Other times we were very busy. You come here and take your photocopies by yourself." " You deliver !" I insisted, and said,"Anyway I still have another retained books, and I can asked another copy shop to duplicate. If you don't deliver them, you can keep them at your store as long as you like. " In fact, I didn't have any retained books. But I should fight back this time. " How can you say that ?" His voice sounded angry. "Well, we always cooperate with you. I have printed and duplicated at your shop so many times before. But how do you treat us ? Is there any time you deliver any things ?You don't have any sincerity! " "Of course we have the sincerity. Well, what's the address of your company ? I will deliver them to you today. " One hour later, one of their shopboys appeared at my office with my photocopies in his hand. This time, I won !

    an embarrassing thing One day, there were just Yan and me in our dormitory. We were reviewing our textbooks for the coming examinations. Suddenly, Yan said," I just read a funny joke. Two frogs fell in love and got married and gave birth to a toad. The male frog was white with fury:" what the hell, bitch?" The female frog cried terribly :"I'm so sorry darling . I had cosmetic surgery before married. " Hahahaha……“ I didn't think this joke was funny because I had seen it before, but in order to avoid awkward situation, I cooperated with a laugh, "Hehehe, it' so funny." She said, " I saw this joke in my QQ Qzone, hahahaha……" I laughed reluctantly ," Had cosmetic surgery ? It' s pretty comical." Then, she said, " Hey,wait a moment." Then she came up to me putting her mobile phone to her ear, and asked me, " Amy, what are you talking about ? What did you just say ?" "…………” I came to realize that she was not talking to me but her boyfriend by mobile phone.
