    清明节的由来 Hello, I was wondering if someone can help me correct me mistakes! I think there are many corrections that have to be made, but I am not sure which ones. Thankyou in advance! 寒食和清明节的起源是从春秋战国时期开始。 那个时候,有一位晋国公子叫着重耳。 他在国外流亡十九年。 在流亡的时候,他与他忠臣介子推在一座大山迷失。 在山上,重耳饿得 全身无力。 介子推就决定把腿子上的一块肉砍下来, 就给重耳吃。 重耳问那块肉的由来。 介子推说是从他腿子割下来。 重耳坚要赏赐介子推, 但是介子推说最好的报答是要想一些良好的治国方法。 十九年后, 重耳终于归国作为晋国的国君, 也称为晋文公。 晋文公想报答介子推,决定亲自去介子推的家, 但是到了山中, 介子推和他老母已经离乡别井。 为了找介子推,晋文公就把绵山烧起来。 他以为介子推会自然出来。 但是,烧了三天三夜结果介子推和母子被烈火烧死。晋文公觉得很悲哀, 就安葬他们两母子。 在安葬他们的时候就发现了一首衣襟上写的血诗。 后来, 晋文公把介子推写的血诗藏在袖子里, 作为他执政的座右铭。 他治理国家很好,把平民百姓安居乐业, 国泰民安。 在介子推死忌上,大家为了纪念介子推的牺牲就禁止放火,只吃冷食。 此后, 清明和寒食成了全国平民祭祖先的节日。

    I really admire people who know more than two languages.

       Recently I found a phenomenon that those people who know two languages.    Their speech is very fluent and very overwhelming when they are talking with others due to their perfect grammar and expression! I also think more kinds of language you know, more attractive your speech is.
    .
        However, why is their language are more charming and meaningful than others?
    I think that knowledge is. We might have omitted a big issue here - language.   Language is not only a tool for communicating with each other, but also a kind of knowledge.   Even the degree of the knowledge  far exceeds far from a regular one.

        Undoubtly, it is a kind of literature which has been engraved to your way of thinking.   By using that longer, the deeper it is injected. For example, a simple subject (like math or physics we studied only in school),  can be understood easily by memorizing the corresponding formulas. 
    However, the longer you have used your mother language is equivalent to you having studied it... So that is also why we will never forget any language you have known, especially your mother tongue...
    The language represents the culture and the way of thinking. Then when you talk to some one, you can chat with him in his way or in your way, and you also can avoid the deficiencies from his or your language, since you know them. That is I think the reason, why their sayings are more attractive, overwhelming and comfortable to listen.   This is due to their long and meaningful sentences, full of humor, gorgeous words, impressive grammar and regular phrase!
    Finally, why don't we shape ourselves into a linguist?
    ...............
    A few days ago I met a translator that our company  had invited for a business meeting.   His saying and behavior is excellent and perfect.   He spoke English and Cantonese fluently!

    With the development of  the automotive industry and improvement of living standards, the automobiles are  no longer luxuries any more.   You can see all kinds of cars around us.
    But with the increasing amount of car there are many problems that come.The first one is polluting the environment and traffic congestion.  Especially during work time is in the morning and evening,cars run on the loop one by one, and the road become a big stop at once  a small trouble takes place.   Most people's complaints can be heard everywhere.   Hence, the government has taken some actions to relieve the situation.

    I am unhappy.

    Is there someone who knows what jobs that have the chance of going on a business trip ? I do not like staying in the office . It's boring.  The boss always strolls in the office, and looks at what you are doing.    When something goes wrong in our office the sales and other people always blame you.    Even though the sales have made mistakes,  they do not admit it and like to push their mistakes to other people. So you will find it's boring. Hence, there are many people resign in our company every year. Some people just come and then leave.

    What's your favorite flower?

        When I was asked to answer this quesiton, there were lots of choices: Rose, Peony,Orchid, etc. However, why? The reason is also different, respectively. Take the Lily as an example.   Lily was the name of a foreign girl at middle school, which appeared in my first English text book.
        This is the simple introducing dialogue.    Lily has a twin sister whose name is Lucy.  <em>We are twins</em>! .   This has left me with a deep impression.
