machine...aha, machine with blood and breath, with family and friends, with a big heart bear different cultures, with a rise life and times. if all these words still cannot find the love there, check your heat sir. but really , for most of the people(i mean on the earth), if you are not fall in love in the first sight , you do need time to know each other at first . to respect what will be welcome or not in their culture or their personal way. and till now , most of chinese people are not so often to talllllllllllllk about love. but they did, and keep it inside. don't you think a sweet smile, to share life with family and friends is from love. so why and how people live this life? maybe you just didn't get the right way to communicate with those person who were around you. or you just tooooooo insist your way to the love. try to respect and understand , it will be different.

元旦 元 表示初、始的意思（the beginning, the first ）, 旦， 是日子的意思，也可以说是一天的开始（dawn/day）。 元旦，代表一年的第一天，一般表示公历的新年。元旦快乐 也就是在祝福新年了。但是一般不说祝福元旦/祝贺元旦，可以说----祝你元旦快乐。 在中国人的传统里面，真正新年的来临还是中国农历（阴历）的新年。但是在这里就不再用元旦。你可以说新年或春节。

let me think…I’m learning English now, but I think it’s some universality here. Nothing new, but I’m glad to share: A. listen to the news, and repeat what I heard. But I do not care if I can understand or not. This is just for tones and pronunciation. I think it’s faster & more precisely than normal talk, also is boring. B. it’s easier to understand & remember that something with emotion and scenario. Movie is life show. so watch a nice movie I would get a good lesson, like how the native express their feelings , and I will try to understand what I’ve heard and saw. C. of cause for a language study u need to remember so much about a word like its sound, face, character. Just like to know a person. I’m weak at this class. I’m lazy~ :( D. Language is in life. So I’m happy to have friends which language or culture are different from me. E. I’m trying.

i think we all live in the results of the past. parents got much more experience of life , they can see much more than their child/children. But to the children , everything to them is new, and they need to have their own experience about LIFE. then, the story comes, children may need some advice, some encouragement, their point is to go through. but the parents would see what's the bad of things would hurt their children, their eyes are on to avoid the hurt . if they don't have a good comunication about this , it comes to be a gap .
