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.

There are many interesting things to do in Hong Kong

If you like theme parks, you should go to Hong Kong because there are two theme parks Disney and Ocean Park. Hong Kong Disney is the second Disney in the Asia which was opened about two years ago. Disney has a nice environment for a family day because it is fun for children and relaxing for adults. Ocean Park is a place of ocean creatures; you can attend the animal show and see other animals. This show can make you relaxed and happy. It’s also has electronic games for you to enjoy. Ocean Park also is a place you must be there because it is the only place that has cable cars going from one mountain top to another.
In addition, Hong Kong is best place for families, Hong Kong is a colorful city. Full of entertainment. It doesn’t have night time because the night time is more lively. It has karaoke places to sing songs and drink beers. You and your friends can gather together for a chat. This type of activity style you cannot find in the U.S, so you can enjoy this city’s lively atmosphere. Another famous place is Lan Kwai Fong. It’s in the downtown area of Hong Kong. After 6 P.M, many foreigners and natives go there because there are over one hundred restaurants and bars. It is just around the corner from the city’s busy Central business district, so it’s the perfect place for after work drinks, dinner with friends and great night out.
In addition, Hong Kong is a food paradise. It has food from around the world. A lot of different cultures food. If you want any kinds of food, for sure you can find it there. And the price is low because Hong Kong is near to China and Thailand. These countries supply food supplies food to Hong Kong, so the food in Hong Kong is cheap and tastes good. I recommend Dim Sum to you because in Hong Kong Dim Sum is a very famous food. Every morning, people in Hong Kong go to Chinese restaurants to enjoy Chinese tea and Dim Sum. The Chinese tea can refresh you and help you digest food. Dim Sum is so good because it is hand made and fresh, so it is a delicacy and delicious.

Christmas is my favorite holiday
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



The great hobby

Reading is a completely free activity that anyone can do. If we have a bunch of written paper, we can read anywhere. We can read a book in bed, on the subway and even in the rest room. We don’t need any electron, playground or outfit. Moreover, reading doesn’t need the appointed time. Whenever we want, we can read a book. We can read a book when we are waiting for someone or something. Also we can do it before going to bed. How flexible it is! Reading only needs just someone who wants to read a book and a book. So if we pick up the book, we can read anywhere and anytime.
In addition we can learn many new things from books. The book teaches knowledge. In any books, there is a lot of information. If you don’t know how to use a machine, just find a book. And if you want to know history, just open the book. The purposes of books are saving information and sharing it. Also, we can learn wisdom from books. Books are written by people, and we can connect with them. Even though writers don’t exist anymore, we can connect with books. And we can learn many things from them. They teach precepts to live wiser, and we can learn philosophy. We can be professional, and wise people through reading.
Above all, fun is the best reason to read. Books invite us to fantasy worlds. We’ll have indirect experience through amazing real story. We will laugh, cry, get angry and be moved in the books. It’s like living another life. Also, we can go into the other’s imagination. When we open the book, we will be in the future or fantasy world. We will meet marvel vividly, so it will delight us. If we find this pleasure, we won’t be able to close a book easily before we read it completely.
Books are very important property, and reading is really good activity and hobby. It doesn’t matter where we are, or when it is. Just when we open book, we will be in new world, and we will learn many things. If you want that, don’t hesitate. Just find a book, and open it.

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.
