- BBC's Global News Podcast I've always tried to make a plan for myself and execute it. For example, I say, ok from now on I'm beginning to do this every day. Unfortunately, I always fail to keep doing this sort of plans. One thing, though, I am still doing: Listening to BBC World Service's Global news podcast. They produce this podcast twice in weekdays and once in weekends. And I listen all of them. I began to listen to it as a English learning tool. By the time pass my listening skill has improved and now I'm listening to it as news source. Although my writing hasn't improved enough but I have confidence in listening. So what's BBC's global news podcast? First, you hear a beautiful beginning music, then a welcome from the presenter. After that we hear selection of highlights. In the first part there are more about world politics. The day's most important global issues are being reported in this part. You will know where there is a election, attacks,political uprising etc..You hear from BBC's reporter and analysist about the events' importance and their ideas on the issue. AQfter three-four seperate news, the presenter makes an ad about one of BBC's other podcast or just remind us we we are listening to. Then it comes to 'softer' news like music, technology, health. Of course this has not to be every time but normally it goes like this.December 1, 201710
- Thinking We can't change others' opinions. We just can't. So, we should not think about others' opinion too much. There are about 7 billion people around the world. Everybody has different ideas. We should focus on ourselves instead. By doing this we can change something. Or should i say 'I' instead of 'We'? Yes, I should say 'I'. I think too much. I can't stop thinking. Sometimes it makes me crazy. I sometimes think every detail of something. And those things are generally too far from me. Things that I can't touch or reach. Oh, what am i writing? This seems so bad.July 15, 201700
- Struggling with an addiction I've been struggling with this addiction for over ten years. In fact, some say that what I've been doing is not an addiction, it's just a normal thing. However, to me it's not normal and I'm doing this periodically. I began doing this stuff when I was a high school junior. At the time, I was overreacting to my friends who had been doing this and saying how bad this was and I would never do such a thing. One time, one of my friend told me that you were going to get addicted to this and would do even more than us doing now. I remember how I replied: 'Me, never. That thing is not for me, I would never do.' Unfortunately, My friend was right. I began doing that thing maybe just days after that conversation. It's really hard for me to quit it. Every time, I try to quit, I do again.Nonetheless, I know that just because I fail to quit, does not mean I should quit quitting. I'll try again and again and hopefully I''ll clean myself from that.April 1, 201710
- 一个好事情 今天在纽约时报中文网读过一个非常有意思的文章。作者说一说自己经历的·一个事情。作者一个女生但是无法生孩子。所以她和她的丈夫决定去中国找一个婴儿领养。他们跟相关部门联系之后安排好了他们会领养一个女儿。先做的调查女儿的身体没有什么大的问题。可是,他们到时她突然不好去医院看病。医生做一些调查就说婴儿有非常严重的问题。作者和 她的丈夫一听到就感觉非常不好。那么现在怎么办呢?他们领不领养这个有问题的婴儿?作者的感觉复杂。大衣电话给妈妈,妈妈说我觉得不太好,但是如果你要的话就拿婴儿来吧。政府的官人说他们可以安排另外的一个婴儿。没问题他们说。作者想如果她生有问题的孩子他会不会放弃他。不可能。那他们拿婴儿回去美国。一次婴儿的情况非常不好她叫911去医院。医生详细地调查就说她的问题并不重要,每个婴儿可以这样,没问题。作者一听到就放松了。感谢上帝给这个孩子。 这个是2007年的文章。现在那个女儿已经成大了。身体也好。他们享受好的生活April 15, 201630
