Love or Not

Book’s title: In the Shadow of The Mountain


The most impressive chapter of this book, In the Shadow of The Mountain, is chapter nineteen, The summer place. There were other interesting and mysterious chapters, and I was supposed to be taken by them. However, I just had some personal sensitivity with The summer place.
I watched some Chinese movies that narrated that was the type of love in China around fifty years ago. It was extremely different from Clare and Bruno's love. In fact, I was not talking about love fifty years ago, I just tried to understand what exactly is love. In this world, there is nothing more miraculous than love. Clare and Bruno fell in love so expeditiously that they could decide their future together. In their minds, love was something that they could totally control, and was definitely romantic. They could see each other anywhere and at anytime. No matter how many kisses they had, they just kissed more. Whenever they wanted to marry, they just needed to say:"yes, I do." Even if they were to divorce, they just needed to sign their name on the paper. From falling in love to getting married, all these things were controlled by themselves. In contrast, Chinese people used to marry without their own experience of love. The men and the women who would be become a couple had no any idea about their spouse, because their parents arranged their marriage. All they would do is just marry when the day came. Maybe it sounds very ridiculous and incredible. It was hard to understand how strangers can become husband and wife without love. Certainly, I do not necessary to understand it, because that is too traditional to accept in these days.
We are very lucky. We have choices, and we can choose our husband or wife. We can choose the love we want.

Books are our friends


“A house without books is like a room without windows” –said by Heinrich Mann. Books are the great property created by people. The 21st century is a time of space exploration and computer technology. Science advances, presenting us unique possibilities of knowledge of the world and getting information. We can get any information from the internet, TV, or radio. It seems that books are not popular any more in present time. They have given up a place to TV. Do we need books from paper if we can just see a movie or even to write whole national library on one crystal? But I still think that books always will remain great property of human culture. Books open for us a magical world of knowledge, interesting ideas and romantic wishes. Reading is always a great thing that you can do everywhere, anytime, in any age and in any mood.


Reading books is a completely free activity that everyone can do. You can read on a train, for example, or while you are waiting in a line for a doctor. There are many places where you can find any kind of books. Reading is a great activity for your brain. Books are a concentrated experience of human. Reading is a conversation with smart and successful people.

Books are a source of knowledge, so you can learn many new things from books. You can also find answers for any questions, whether it be how to make a new table, how to organize a successful business, how to be a good friend, or just The Universal Law of Gravitation. There are many books have written by cleverest people of the planet. Why wouldn’t we want to know the reasoning of great thinkers and philosophers, the great miracles and legends of the world, the secrets of Egyptian Pyramids, the beautiful legend of Taj Mahal, or myth how Prometej brought a fire for people. We can learn a lot of interesting things about life of our descendants, kings and queens, their ideals and beliefs; or secrets of our planet, what is inside and how many elephants are holding the Earth? When you learn something new, you make your own world richer and you expand your own view. To be a good interlocutor always was and will be fashionable.

While you are reading, you can enter a fantasy, mysterious and magic world. You can transfer to a remote past or a future. When you start to read a new book, you wait for a meeting with new character, good or bad, hero or loser, prince or beggar, skeptic or romantic. You can try on his image to visualize his clothes, his appearance and his actions and emotions. You can imagine. It develops thinking, a flight of fantasy instead a ready image in a movie. Every new book is a trip in a new world.



Consequently, we need to read books. There are useful and productive for our brain at any age. Knowingly, our parents impart to us a love to books since childhood. Books are a good friend with which you will not feel bored or alone.

Christmas is my favorite holiday


Which festival is the most important holiday of the year? Christmas holiday in the middle of the winder is the most important holiday in the year that has been celebrated around the world for many years. It is a joyful religious holiday when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ . The story comes from the Bible. Now, many non-Christians also begin celebrating happily to welcome a new year. Christmas is my favorite holiday because presents are changed, the city seems to be filled good spirit and my whole family gets together.

First, presents are changed. I begin sending Christmas cards early in December to some friends, acquaintances, and co-workers. When the Christmas holiday comes, we just begin preparing a lot of presents for my relatives and other friends again. I am so happy that the gifts and cards with my thoughts and blessings are given to them in the special holiday. In addition, I can also receive some greeting cards or presents from friends of different places and get a lot of surprises. Remember when I received an invaluable CD by ZeQin Zhu, a well-known artist of china, and she is my favorite artist. It was ever autograph my best friend went to her concert in YunNan by airplane and after great effort get it. Of course, I still look forward to recieving a present for me from Saint Nicholas who is a kindly man with a red cloak and long white beard . Anyway, this is always a beautiful dream in my childhood.

Second, the city during Christmas seems to be filled good spirit. It is so attractive in the evening. Trees by the street sides have different colors of lights like milllions of stars in the sky. They bright the whole street like it is daytime. In huge shopping windows, decorations attract people to stay watching. Suddenly, a line of fireworks shoot up into the sky and open out quickly like a huge flower far away in space. Crowds cheer up in the steet. The best attraction is the very tall Christmas tree in the city. It is almost twenty stories high, decorated with different colors ornaments. It is so beautiful!

Finally, my whole family gets together. No matter where I may be the rest of the year, being at home with my family and friends for Christmas is a must. In the Christmas era, our house will be full of cousins, aunts and uncles that might not see each other during the year. Everyone joins in to help in the preparation of the festivities. Some members go to choose a Christmas tree to buy and bring home, and then decorate the tree. Others make a lot of food for dinner. In the Christmas evening, the dining room table looks much like a Thanksgiving feast of turkey or Chinese traditional dish, including steamed fish, roast pork, water dumplings and burned goose. All people enjoy the tasty food and have a warm chatting together with music and lights. It seems that nearly every family has its own unique Christmas activities. After dinner, adults play cards around the table beside the furnace together. Children play games or watch TV. The wonderful diversity of food, music, prayers and games all make Christmas the holiday of holidays on this evening.

Christmas is celebrated by Christians, but it is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultureal festival. I love the music and lights. The best I love being able to get together with friends and family and just greet each other. I think Christmas is great and it makes me feel warm from inside. I wish everyone enjoy in the holiday as I do.

Spring Festival is My Favorite Holiday

How do people celebrate their most important festival in a different country? In China, the spring festival is one of important holidays, so we celebrate the last day of the old year and the first day of the New Year. It is also a custom and tradition in Chinese Folklore. Both the Han majority and Ethnic Minorities celebrate this holiday. It shows us that the spring festival not only a historical holiday in China, but has also become more and more popular.



The spring festival is the busiest and special festival for every Chinese person. All cities are filled with a joyous atmosphere. People will clean the house at the end of the last year, and then decorate with some red ornaments. We hang two big Chinese lanterns in the eaves of our house. A famous Chinese proverb says” Good things come in pairs”. It means more and more lucky things will come. In order to make the holiday’s atmosphere, the Chinese government will put a lot of flowers around the streets. It gives us a feeling that we are living in the New Year. More and more people would like to come out their house to visit their relatives and look at the flower show. Children will set off fireworks together throughout the day. In addition, the huge discount in the stores will attract everyone to come shopping and to buy some necessities for their family.
The warm atmosphere is not only in the streets, but also in the houses. People make a big and delicious dinner on the last
day of the old year, which is called New Year’s Eve. Normally, on New Year’s Eve, every main street is a blaze of light, but there is hardly anybody in the street. Everyone tries to come back from every corner of the country to join the family dinner. Before we have dinner, we will serve food to our ancestors. Chinese families have kept this ceremony throughout the generations. Then, the elders cook many traditional foods, such as Chinese hand made dumpling, spring rolls, rice cakes, noodles and some seafood dishes. My favorite food is rice cake, which is a very traditional food in Chinese culture. We always make it round because in china, it means the New Year will not lack anything.

Moreover, every New Year, kids will get money from their families. For the normal family, the adult will give a new one hundred bill in a red envelope to their children. It means a new and good beginning of the New Year, and everything should go step by step from the beginning. This kind of custom also expresses a deep expectation from their families. Children will understand it when they grow up. Friends and some relatives always visit each other after the first day of the New Year. Everyone deeply understands people like to stay with their parents on the first day. After the first day of the New Year, they will meet together and talk about some of the last year, and then give each other many wishes for the New Year.

Overall, during the Spring Festival, smiles always appear on everyone’s faces. When the Spring Festival is coming, that means spring is coming and everything will wake up and become alive. Spring is a season of hope-seeding. It contains people’s complete wishes. That is why it has became a very important holiday in Chinese culture, and why it is so important to me.

One day without reading grows spikes on one's tongue. A long time ago, a Korean politician said that. He said reading is the best valuable activity that people can do. Since letters and paper were invented, reading has been a loved hobby. But now many people don’t read books due to technical entertainment.

The Happiest Day Of The Year



“We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish a merry Christmas and a happy new year.” what a beautiful song! Have you ever heard about the story of Christmas? Once upon a time, Santa rode four deer and went to people’s houses to give out gifts. Santa would enter the houses through the chimneys to give out the gifts the children have always wished to have. After the story has been told. The children get excited and expect this day to come. However, Christmas is not only exciting for children but for adults as well because of the gifts, the sprit of the city and the family reunions.


First, I would like to exchange presents with my family and friends on this holiday. Before Christmas, I normally go shopping and get some ideas about what kind of gift I’m looking for. Then, I have to decide to buy a gift that I like or choose a gift that I expect the person would like. After the gifts are bought, I would wrap them up by myself. When that day comes, I would be so excited to open all of those gifts that I received. I wish I could receive a gift that I have desired for a long time. I can imagine during that moment, I would be so happy and be giving the best wishes to everyone.


Second, The city seems to be filled with good spirit. Some people are dressed like Santa and give candies to everybody who passes by them on the street. Places like downtown are so crowded. People sing Christmas songs and songs that are related to Christmas which attracts people to watch. When you are walking on the street, you will discover that most stores are decorated with Christmas trees. Also, you will notice the prices to be cheaper than usual before Christmas. There is a big Christmas tree in downtown Chicago that attracts a lot of visitors to go there to take pictures. Even though the weather is cold, the heart feels warm in this season.


Third, my whole family gets together on Christmas. Some of my uncles and cousins that live in other countries or cities will come back on this day for a reunion. We are always excited to see each other no matter how far the distance is, and how much time has passed since we last saw each other. We would talk just about anything during the dinner as we have not been like this for such a long time. I think it is a good time to improve out relationship, especially for the person who I have not seen for a long time. After dinner, the children would mostly play “hide and seek”. As for adults would be playing mahjong or just plain old chat. It would be a day full of rejoicing.


The important day of the year, Christmas, is the happiest day and everyone anticipates that day to come. In my opinion, it is the only day that brings everyone in the big family to meet in one place. This is what makes it so important. We are happy to exchange gifts, walk down the street listening to the concerts and gather with family. Noting beats the excitement of being able to stay together as one family during this holiday.

Keep Reading


“Knowledge is power!” Francis Bacon advocated the importance of reading hundreds of years ago. In the present day, reading has been developed to be a great hobby. There are many great facilities such as bookstores and libraries. These great facilities encourage people to read frequently by increasing access to books. Reading is a great hobby. It improves the mind of the individual reader, and induces the progress of humanity.

Perhaps the easiest activity for anyone to do is reading because it is completely free and accessible nowadays. When I arrived in Chicago, I observed that I could find books everywhere. I felt surprised that there were three bookstores near my home. I always go to bookstores to read books with my family. When I enter the bookstore, I can feel freshness and ease filling the air. Everyone there looks so peaceful. The staff there is also very kind and patient. Bookstores are a great refuge for reading. In addition, I enjoy the library in this city as well. I usually go to the Chicago public library to borrow some books. I also study in library. It’s convenient to do research there. These great facilities are open to everybody and provide good environment for people who enjoy reading.

Reading is a good habit. We read for study or just for fun. Most of my teachers have told me that if I want to achieve a high level of English, I was supposed to read by myself above and beyond attending classes. Through reading books that are relevant to my major, I could learn more knowledge, but also learn how to do research and to think independently. Sometimes reading is hard and boring because it’s for studying, but sometimes reading is kind of relaxing. It’s a life style for picking up a book and reading casually. I always see many people reading novels on the bus, but I am so curious how wonderful the books could be to attract the people from beautiful views just outside the window.

Many books are written by knowledgeable people. When we read a book, it looks like we enter the author’s world, and it seems we are in dialogue with the smart people. Every new book is an exotic and exciting adventure for us, but it’s safe for us to experience because it’s just a book. Reading a book is like going on a journey. With reading, we could travel and meet many friends. We could communicate with them, and achieve common ideas with them. Our emotions change with their fates. Moreover, books are a good way to make friends. No matter where we come from, books connect us. We have so many common topics to discuss from the same book. How fantastic it is! We could make friends from both fictional and nonfictional books.

Although there are so many activities in our life, reading is still the trendiest thing. Reading is a great hobby that has lasted for thousands of years. Almost all great people like reading. Reading gives us wisdom, insight and inspiration. Additionally, we could sense peace from reading. Regardless of how trends change, it is safe to say that reading is always a great hobby we should maintain.
