Understanding of Success (a record of our class meeting) Recently, we had a class meeting whose topic was "success". Views varied from person to person. At least three different opions were carried out by different students. Some students thought success was to become rich. Money can't buy everything in the world but can enable people to live comfortably without worrying about daily budgets. However, some held the view that success had nothing to do with money or reputation, living a happy life is a real success. Instead of working day and night to earn money, spending more time with families and enjoy your life are more important. But others preffered to treat success as whether your goal have achieved or not. As far as I'm concerned, success doesn't mean anything, what we learnt on our way to success is the real treasure in our life. (My expression and vocalburary are so limited, hope you could give me some suggestions on it, thank you !)

Learning Dairy Since that one of my teachers told me that you can only aquire a language when you really use it, I convince myself to write down something in English everyday, and wait to see if there're any improvements. Today, I'm going to write down something about a old but still very popular among Chinses English learners American TV series----Friends. Before I saw this TV show(r there many differences beween TV show and TV series?), I heared it many times in English learning forums, many many people recommend it as a funny TV show which has daily dialogues and is suitble for people to learn oral English. (They also recommend Modern Family, Desperate Housewife,etd. Are thiese worth watching?)They also suggest a method that need to be followed if you want to improve English by watching TV. I think this method may also be helpful for learning other languages(except Chinese, although I'm a Chinsese, I have to say it's really among one of the most difficult languages in the world ). Steps as followed: 1. Just watch it with subtitles, from beginnin to the end. Feed your curiosity, understand the main plot and characters. 2. After knowing what this TV show is talking about, watch it second time. This time try to focus on listening. Write down new words and phrases. 3.Watch it third times. Do not look at subtitles. 4. Pick up the sentences that you may often use but don't know how to speak correctly, recite them, learn them by heart. OK, today I've wrote enough words, will write about Friends next time.

the sun is good, and everything is good Today is my second day in Shenzheng. It's very warm here, the temperature is almost 17 degree centigrade. So I can take off my thick winter clothes and enjoy the beautiful sunshine. Now, I have finished all my class as a student, and decide to find myself a job here. But when I start seeking, I get at a loss, I don't know what kind of job suit me, and what I can do as a graduate of English major. Anyway, I will work harder, and if you have any good suggestions, u can send me a mail.

Why learning languages is so hard!?! Like most Chinese children, I began to learn English in my primary school. At that time,I thouht learning English it's a task, because we had to pass English exams to enter junior schools or high schools. , learning English is memorizing English words and grammar rules. Later, when I entered university, English is my major, I have to memorize more words, and read a lot, but I still can't understand some English novels, stories and some news. I get very disappointed, I wonder if I'm wasting my time. Now, I'm still learning English, but I can't see any improvement. I began to learn French in my second semester as a sophomore.French is compulsory course for us. At the beginning, I thouht maybe French isn't very very hard to learn because French shares the same alphabet with English, but later, the more I learn in the class the harder I feel. The conjugaison is really hard to memorize. And there' re some same words in French and English, but the pronunciation are different, that's drive me to crazy. Why learning languages is so hard? Can you give me some advices?
