Nowaday work


Everyone has his or her own dream about the job what they will do in the further. The most ideal jobs for people are they can do what they want and like. To be honest, this is really difficult.

With the population increasing, it is really hard for people to find jobs, no mention to their favorite ones. As we all known, China has the largest population in the world and the situation is there are more people and less jobs. When students graduate, they will find job at the same time. It is very normal that there are lots of people in the human resources market.

The situation will be severer and severer in the further. Not only because of the number of people, but the quality and experience. Every company wants to hire talents who are knowledgable and have some experiences. Therefore, if people hope to find jobs or ideal ones, they have to make themselves perfect. As a result, many students choose to continue their masters and PhD. On the other hand, lots of students choose to study aboard in order to gain some different experiences and learn advanced skills. These students are welcomed because they are more capable than others. However, the prerequisite is they definitely master real abilities or they are the same as others. In a word, this is a way or choice for people to find jobs.

Anyway, if people want to have satisfactory jobs, they must try their best to learn learn and learn. Lazy ones can get nothing!!!

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.

Good way for writing


If people want to learn a language well, they need to do well in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Which one is more important? I think all of them are important and each of them has its own function.

Listening and speaking are mainly for using, that is, in daily life communication is usual to learn a language. Reading can be used in book, newspaper and magazine. When you scan or skim, you need to use reading skills. And then, writing is usually used in academic paper or essay. For university students, writing is an essential part to master.

How to write well? No matter for native speaker or those people who are learning this language, they all need to think about! In my opinion, vocabulary, structure and editing are significant.

First of all, vocabulary is really basic for a student to write. If people want to write a vivid essay, they need to command more vocabulary. So they can use them flexibly. With some good vocabulary, the essay can become better. Moreover, the structure of an essay should be clear and coherent. If so, readers can get the meaning easily and fast. Therefor, when people write an essay they should try their best to make the structure easy to understand. What is more important, editing is an indispensable step for writing a good essay. Nobody can write a perfect essay at a time, so we need to edit for several times. During this process, we can find some mistakes and make it better.Anyway, if people want to write a good essay, they need practice more.

New semester~!


How time flies! Last long holiday has gone and a new semester is coming~
During last vocation, I did lots of interesting things. On the boxing day, I went shopping with my friends all day. It was really crazy! Although I heard lots of things on this day were very cheap before, I still cannot believe that there are so many people and so cheap stuff. Moreover, my friends who study in The University of Saskatchewan came to Calgary to have a visit. We had a great banquet on Christmas Eve. What a good moment! We talked a lot about our new lives in different universities and memorize some interesting things when we were in China. What is more important, I went skating in UC this holiday. I was so excited that it was the first for me to skate on the ice. Actually I did not know how to skate but after some practice I could it. I love this game and I believe I can do it very well in the further.
After a wonderful holiday, the new semester which is really important for me is coming. Because this semester is the last semester in EAP program so I must do very well to pass it.
I heard when you are in EAP III you must do your best, or you can not pass it before. Now I understand it exactly. There are lots of assignments and homework no mention to the exams. To be honest, I am a little bit worried about it. However, when I think I can go back to my hometown after this semester and the great life in the university, I am full of motivation.
I will try my beat!!!
