Reflect on the ENGL 396 CALL class

During this semester, I learn a lot from the ENGL 396 CALL class, they gave me a lot of good experiences, let me know how to make a dream waver, although it cost me a lot of time to do that. To do movie maker gave me a change work with classmate. My partner helps me to check my record. I am very appreciating him. I think this is a very important skill during all my university life, even on business in the future. I am not worrying it any more, because I already did it. Also, to create a blog is my first time. Now, I have my own blog, sometime I share my happiness with my friends on-line, and my friends share their happiness with me, so I get double happiness. All of this, I am very interest in it.

writing class

I try my hard work to writing draft. When I have problem, I will ask my teacher and friends to help me to do better. Such as, adjust the sentence, and fix the grammar. I feel good that my writing has improved since the beginning of class. I gain a lot from this class. Now I even can write an article about 600 words in one hour. However, it is not very good. And I am getting more and more confidence now, I know I should keep going.

travel

J: Hi Gabriel, how is your winter break?
G: That’s so terrific; I went to Los Angeles Disneyland.
J: That’s awesome! It sounds that you like traveling very much.
G: Yes, I do like it. I have been to many places in China and America, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chicago, and Los Angeles. What about you?
J: I also like traveling a lot like New York City, Boston, Tokyo, and so on.
G: What’s your favorite place?
J: That must be Boston. I love it so much. I traveled to Boston with my friends last year. Boston has a wonderful ocean view, I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing. And there are many beautiful cottages are located at seaside.
G: What beautiful scenery! What some activities did you have there?
J: After walking along the seaside, my friends and I went to some small seafood restaurants. My friend told me that lobster in there is very special and delicious. I tried and I thought that I have never eaten seafood as good as those restaurants. Now, I even remembered the seafood of that restaurant sometimes.
G: Don’t just talk about food. What some other activities did you do there? Because I know there are many famous universities in Boston, did you travel around the campus?
J: Yeah, of course we went to there. I had made a detailed plan for visiting campus before doing that. We went to Harvard University and visited the libraries, and museums, to learn the history of the university. Anyway, after that, we bought some gifts, like t-shirt, pen, and we also gave them to my friends as gifts.
G: You remind me that once I travelled to Chengde, which also had very beautiful sceneries.
J: What’s that famous for?
G: The place is called “The Mountain Resort and its Outlying Temples, Chengde”, which is on the World Heritage List. The resort was built from 1703 to 1792, which used to be the summer residence of the Qing emperors. The whole complex consists of imperial palaces, imperial gardens, and magnificent temples, and it is the largest classical imperial garden.
J: It sounds like a great place for recreation!
G: Yeah, you are right! The basic style of the whole garden is simple and relaxing, which mainly takes the natural factors and reflect the features of landscapes from both north and south of China. You can see there are many lakes, ranches, and forest distributed consistently in the garden. I also saw much stuff that emperors once used.
J: Did you have fun there?
G: Of course. At noon, I took a small boat floating along the river which was considered the shortest river. You know, China has a long history and we could learn a lot during the traveling. Many places have not only a high level of art treasure, but also a high historical value. In a word, China has many greatest places to learn and enjoy.
J: I believe you really enjoyed that place. Do you have some plans for your next travel?
G: I’d like to go to New York City because I heard it’s especially beautiful in summer, and the Emperor building is great. Do you recommend some places for me?
J: I think you should go to the New York City, That’s a good place. I traveled there before; it gave me a lot of good memory. You can visit the Broadway and go shopping in the Soho, You can also walk around in the central park. Anyway, I also want to go there this summer for another time. Could I join you?
G: Sure. We can go there together and have fun. That sounds great. I will talk with you later.
J: Good idea. Thanks.

Things are beautiful if you love them

I agree with things are beautiful if you love them. First of all, beautiful things need a smart eye to look for them. If you don’t care anything, we will never find beautiful things in our life. So that everything is so boring and ugly in your world. You could be boring in other person eyes either. But if you try to love life, you will find the sky is so blue, the stars are so cute, and all things could make you happy. For example, before I read novels, I know nothing form books, even I have a little hate them. However, since I began to read novels for 1 year later, I am so interesting in it. I found a lot of happiness, moving, and knowledge, even sometimes I feel I can’t live without books. “Things are beautiful if you love them.” This sentence let me know that life is beautiful, so I agree with it. There is another reason can explain things are beautiful if you love them. Because we love it, so we can keep going. For example, a man love a girl so much, so that girl must be very beautiful in his heart , even though others person don’t think so. That man will still fall in love with her, and nothing can stop him to get her. Because he thought she is the only one, she is the best. That’s why things are beautiful if we love them.

Spring is coming; the weather is getting better now. Everybody is very happy beside me. Cause I was still drunk since last Sunday. I feel so terrible now. Last Sunday, my friend and I were drinking a lot of wine. We want find out what is the love? my fridend wrere so sad, Because he loses his girlfriend, and he misses his girlfriend. I just with him. We talk about so much; however, there is no good idea. Drinking cannot solve anything. Now, I know, that is really bad behavior. I don’t want do that anymore. We should keep walking.
