    My diary in a drawing class After several pieces of training in class, I started to perceive how to use strokes to represent the depth in a 2-dimensional paper. I can make the closer object darker, and make the further object lighter and more blur. Strokes make the objects jump out of the paper and make them vivid. Rocks can be sharp and bowls can be smooth with the help of the stroke. With many fails making the edges messy before, I finally found the skill to avoid the confusing edge when putting the objects together. It made my drawing better. In addition, researching how other classmates did is another Way to advance my drawing skill, for instance, one of the students drew with an exact stroke that shows more detail on the paper. Professor came to see how I'm doing after I had drawn for a while. He gave me a useful suggestion that makes me think more. He said that it would be more useful if we draw a line that combined with soft and crisp strokes. He doesn't want me to follow a particular routine to draw, but he did provide me with a skill to draw another way. It's an exciting class. I followed the professor's Pinterest after I finished the course. I wish I can draw better after this semester.

    What is art? There is no standard answer to what art is, but I think it is an interesting topic to discuss. In my opinion of view, I consider that art is a language that starts a conversation. Not only does art trigger a conversation between an inspector and an artwork, but also bridge the communication between different eras or different cultures. Mona Lisa is a work of art that represents how people in Renaissance think and how they view the art. They might value art an excellently detailed painting that contains some meaning. On the other hand, Composition II In Red Blue And Yellow represents how people pursue the original form of art and how artists try to figure out how art is. Moreover, the art is not only concern about the artists and artwork, but it also represents how people are in the age and the culture. For instance, ancient Japanese artists focus on the bowl or some items used in the ceremony on specific situation that required a particular principle to do it, like drinking tea. Another example is some native African cultures see masks a priceless item used in an event. The mask would be meaningful only in an event. I think the question of what art is can't be answered easily, but we can taste it, feel it, try to understand it. In this way, we can open a conversation about what we are, what we think of ourself. Thank you for your reading.

    動力是什麼？

    動力是什麼？
    其實我非常懶惰的人。
    例如說，我非常喜歡睡著到中午。已經很多年我安排自己的生活為晚睡晚起。要在十點上課嗎？這堂課不必須（要）的話，我終於還沒著（終究沒)上那堂課，先天推選(?)。

    要去認識新朋友？算了吧，若沒做在一起的工作或者活動，我還是一個不會跟別人這麼快好起來的人。而我們認識不認識無所謂。
    要去很遠的地方？不要了，我在那裡忘了什麼呢(?)？在家看電視劇還行吧。
    為了買東西要工作都(多)一點嗎？不行，那些東西我一定不會那麼想要。

    但是有的時候都是不一樣。
    聽到了明天早上會有好浪，我會五點起床，快去下水。
    聽到了在開會可以認識一個會說日文的人，我快（敢）快去那裡。
    明白了有機會見我很想的老朋友，我會（搭）很久很久搭飛機或者火車，都是為了見面他一次。
    聽到了我最愛的樂團在外國過（開）演唱會，我會加很多工作（Do you mean 加班？），都是為了去聽他們的表演而已。

    這就是動力的力量。


    You did a good job! Keep writing!

    我刚刚跟我的好朋友讲（许）了，现在我的喉咙痛

    我刚刚跟我的好朋友讲（许）久了，现在我的喉咙痛，特别是因为我的感冒还没有愈合，我猜在感冒的时候，我不可以讲太久了！今天我们尝试做萝卜糕，首先看起来不像我们成功了，但是煮完之后，问<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">问（闻）起来很香，好棒啊！今天的天气非常好，太阳很大，很多人坐在阳台上，享受阳光和温暖的微风，我们也看到很多家庭开（骑）脚踏车。我最近发现，经常我经常知道我想要做什么，但是我仍然不做它，因为我觉得有点懒惰，所以我每天提醒我自己，虽然有时我觉得有点懒惰做一个事情，但是无论如何要这样做了！


    Good job! Well done!

    Chinese Speech (Full)

    各位老师，各位同学。 大家好. 我是诚恩

    我今天想跟你们讲一个关于街头表演的话题.我去年才又開始表演魔術. 所以，我要做很多工作才能够把表演当作一个稳定的职业. 我喜欢表演。特别是在街头上表演魔术。但是随着社会的发展，澳洲变成了一个无现金(不用钱币交易的社会. 我们已经可以看到这个现象了。
    (bill switch?)
    我在街头上演完了(后 would be better), 经常听到，他们不用现金或者是现在没有现金。所以我们发现这个事件(现象)，街头艺人的收入被这个事件(现象)所影响. 但是，我特别喜爱这个工作。虽然是一个很辛苦的工作，可是我不要换工作. 所以当我表演完了并且有观众把钱放在帽子里面的时候，听到有几个人说没有现金可以(会or总是会or经常会)令人沮丧.


    所以, 如果我不努力找到解决问题的方法，我街头表演的工作可能一点都不稳定，但是如果问题能被解决，(rubiks cube). 我的工作就会变得稳定。

    那么我问你们一下，如果你们没有现金，怎么付钱？有什么方法？对了这不是电视, 你可以回答。没有现金的时候，我们用电子支付。对不对。比如说，在网上付钱或者借记卡. 所以现今还有街头表演者可能依赖eftpos, paypal之类的. 然而，要用为了街头表演特定的busktip.com (我朋友做的网站)，我们做能(才能)用电子支付，保持安全性还有迅速性。我想给你们看。欢迎大家把你们的智能手机打开。有平板电脑的话也可以用。我麻烦你们打开手机或者电脑，然后打开浏览器。欢迎你们打busktip.com的网址。看这个网站。你看得到我的档案

    busktip 没有别的电子支付的方法有的问题。第一给表演者钱是个冲动行动。所以观众给钱是个短暂的过程。这是很重要，因为让人们觉得很好玩. 第二是，下载app比较慢。用行用卡让人们排队还有觉得不安全. 但是用busktip.com比较快还有真的安全。不需要下载。不用注册。还有给艺人钱的时候，当然不告诉别人你的银行信息.

    我之前问大家访问这个网站。所以你们现在付钱给我很容易。别担心，我不是在问你们. 当然我们都不用母语，所以比较尴尬。但是我用英文应该比较容易。无论如何，我们发现让观众支付可以觉得很娱乐，而不是让他们觉得是在做苦差事

    今天我们看到了街头表演有的经济问题。我们分析了解决(方法)，还有跟新的解决(方法)比较了一下。无论如何，我觉得你们会同意，新的解决比较好

    那，这是我的报告。欢迎大家提问
    (谢谢大家)



    Thank you for helping me with my Chinese speech. I appreciate any corrections on grammar, fluency and naturalness :D


    Good Job!

    My drawing class It's the second week of this class, and the professor taught us about the edge of the shape in an object. Humans can determine the distances by looking at the objects to define which object is far and which one is close. Especially when we look at a 2D drawing, we need a clue to figure out the distance. For example, if there's a drawing presents a teapot and a cup and part of the edge of the cup was "covered" by the teapot, we can understand that the cup is behind the teapot. Once the edge cannot indicates the distance, such as the confusing edge that cannot tell which one covers the other one, we can't understand the distance between them. What we have to do is to practice drawing the edge properly so that people feel comfortable when watching it. There was another skill taught in the class. Imagine there's ant goes alone with the edge, and the ant might goes to a wrong way from a cup to a teapot if the edge looks too similar. We have to help the ant goes to a right move by distinguishing the edges through the line width, blurry, or weight. It's a fun class and everyone have a good time, although this time a spent too much time on making the shadow rather than focusing on the edge. I wish a can draw better next time!

    Drawing Class In this class, the professor taught us about setting up our drawing position, such as setting the easel and the board, orienting the board, putting the object we will draw in the most comfortable place, using the tape to regulate the view of drawing, adjusting the distance between the drawer and the paper ...etc. After all of the students had set up, the professor gave us a practice which requires all of the students to draw the partner without watching our own drawing paper. In the beginning, we were all worry about how bad the drawing would be. After a while, we focused on the things what professor originally wants us to do -- keep our hands drawing with what our brains think, keep our brains drawing with what our hands do. In the first section, I have no idea what I'm drawing when I draw without watching the paper and leaving the pencil from the paper. On the drawing paper, the eyes are the most recognizable part because I drew the eyes first and then other parts of the face. I couldn't even figure out where I was drawing in the end. In the second section, I was allowed to draw with a glimpse of paper. It looks better to compare to the other practice in terms of recognizable, yet it might not be so good because I started to pay attention to the relative position and not focus on the eye-brain-cooperation. I feel so lucky to study at this university, it offers all students an art studio building that we can go to practice at any time! I will share what I experience in the drawing class and how they teach drawing!

    First Weekend In The States The Americans always hold great parties and doing things crazy, I want to talk about my experiences of the American parties in Michigan. The story began when I walked to my door room after finished the freshman welcome ceremony. I decided to go to my new roommates' party immediately when I went back to the dorm room and met them who just moved in and ask if I want to go to party. They are so nice. They try to keep a good conversation, even though my English speaking isn't good enough to talk smoothly. We headed to the place where the party took place, and I stunned at the first time I saw the crowed people dance together, singing and drinking beer. The population of how many people joined the party is more than the population of how many people attends freshman welcome ceremony earlier! I meet many friends, including the leader of the Student Association and the leader of their fraternity, who was introduced by my roommates. The only thing I can do at the party is saying "Hi! I'm Umas (shaking hands)" and remembering their names which are impossible to remember because there are too many people! Actually, I didn't have the intention to know their names because I would forget if after drunk after all. And I guess the friends I just met will forget my name and ask it at the next party. After I woke up in the next day, I realize that U.S. university is designed for holding a party regarding entertainment! The pop songs, the dorm rooms, the dances, the games, the lifestyles...etc. I really enjoy their party, and I wish to go again soon, thanks to my roommates who invite me, and hope that they won't get sick every morning after the party night.
