Jobs


Well, many people have asked me those similar questions about work. It just likes what kinds of job do you like or when you grow up what you will do. I am really familiar with the answers~~~

Actually, when I was young I hoped I would be a scientist one day because I learned more about scientist in primary school. Scientists are so great that they research and invent lots of useful things and they make an important contribution to society. I was really proud of them so I wanted to be a scientist that time. However, when I grow up I change my mind and I want to be an entrepreneur. I am largely influenced by my father who is a businessman. He told me a lot about the market and commerce. In addition, I read many books about business. I found this job was really interesting and had lots of challenges so I wanted to be a businessman from then on.

However, this job is really difficult for people (Well, every job is not easy and has its own difficulty) because it has lots of pressure and people need to face problems and challenges all the time. Nowadays, with the development of economy, competition becomes more and more radical. And it is harder for people to find job than before, especially for China which country has the largest population in the world. So people need more skills and knowledge to adapt to this situation. In some sense, people always need lucky to be successful at the same time.

Anyway, I will do my best to realize my ideal.

Reading week~~

Wow,it’s reading week now! It’s reading week!!!
Last week my mid-term was finished finally. It was really exciting. When I studied in EAP 3, lots of homework and assignments were coming together at the same time. Time is fleeting. Last week my mid-term was coming. After a couple of weeks studying, I should meet the first big challenge which takes 20 percent in the total score. So I needed try my best in mid-term. So I did!!! I hoped I could get a good result.
Anyway, mid-term has gone. I needed to make a good plan for reading week and have a fun~~~Actually, before reading week I was always thinking about what I should do in this long holidays. Now I can actualize my plan!!!
In the first two days, the activity I did is sleeping. Do not be surprised. Because I was so so so tired. I really needed to have a full break. On the other hand, I also could do a good prepare for the left days.
Then, I almost spent my holidays with my friend who was transferred to UC from US. Because he was a new one and not familiar with here, I took him to look around this strange city. To begin with, I took him to some Chinese supermarkets such as TNT and Lemend. And then we went to Chinook and Market Mall to have shopping. My friend bought lots of things because he lived here from now on. So did I.
The time I spent with my friend was wonderful. Great holidays! Great reading week!

Fantastic Dream


I always believe dream is a really fantastic thing. Although the science is enough advanced, people still do not know why we dream and why we dream the things happened in the dream. Of course I do not either.
In China, there is a proverb: you will dream what you though in the daytime when you sleep. That is, we think the things which have happened can emerge again in the dream. In most cases, that is true. I have lots of this kind of experiences. For example, the person appeared many times who I miss so much in my dream, a final match appeared in my dream because I played football in the daytime, and so on.
Sometimes we can dream lots of things which do not have any relationship with us at all. It happens to me very often. I could use kongfu to kill two or three people at the same time, I could go to a strange city that I have never been to, I could have a dinner with a famous star and so forth. Scientists cannot explain why these happen no mention to me. In addition, I really hope I can dream some people or some events because I miss them and I want to experience the event again. However, the person who you really want to see will not appear and the event which you really want to experience again will not happen in your dream. This is really amazing. I still do not know why.
Anyway, maybe there is no necessary for us to know why why why, whatever we still dream. That is ok.~~~

Navigation


In human history, there were lots of explorers who advanced the development of the world. They discovered new continents or new planets so that they contributed a lot to humans. In China, of course there were also many explores and now I will tell a legend about the most prominent explorer.

Zheng He was born in Ming Dynasty who was the most outstanding navigator in Chinese history. To build the friendly relationships with other countries and develop the trade between China and other countries, Zheng He had led many ships to other continents and oceans for seven times. The farthest continent and ocean Zheng He had reached were Africa and Atlantic Ocean.

Through these navigations, China built favourable relations with many countries such as Sumatra Vietnam and Cambodia. In addition, the trade among these countries became more and more frequent. Every navigation Zheng He would take lots of Chinese product like tea, chinaware and silk at the same time he also bring in many special local product such as coral, pearl and ivory.

Zheng He’s navigations reflected at that time Chinese had owned advanced science and technology. They used compass and map to ensure the direction and ships’ position. Moreover, the ships were classified in different kinds. Some of them took food, some of them used for resting and sleeping and some of them were warships.

Zheng He’ navigations had really significant meaning. On the one hand, it represented the most advanced exploration time in Chinese history. On the other hand, it exhibited China’ generosity and kindheartedness as a strong country.
