My Dream Job？

Do you have a dream job?What is that like?Have you tried to do some efforts about that?

I did this,although I haven't got a job until now,and I'm still a ungraduated student now.I have thought a lot of times about my dream job,or you can say I'm a dreamer sometimes,but I think it's good to keep your dream job in your mind and encourage you to do something extraordinary in your life.

I have been always looking for a job that I can enjoy myself,as well as afford myself,even my family,what I think everyone wants.I want to help people all around the world,I want to travel all around the world,I want to make friends from all classes of the society.I also want to have my own business,which I don't know if I can put it equal to job.I want to be normal in my life,but also want to be excellent in some fields.

It's interesting that we talked about CV,covering letter,even English learning motivation in class.To be honest, I think a lot through this,originally,I came here just want to experience the life in Britain and fit in an exotic life,but later,I found that it's extremely important to have a good knowledge of English,no matter what you want to do.Languages are just methods to help you know others well and express yourself well.how can I let them prevent me to pursue my dream job globally,especially I have been here to learn language. I decided to do it well.What's more,English education is so popular in the world,it seems like a chance for me to do some part time job about English to practice myself.An interesting thing,when I search my wanted job in google,I'm so surprised to find ESL(English as a Second Language) is also a job in the available chosen.I really admire the English teachers we know here,they are having such a valuable job,can meet people all over the world,if possible,I think they also can travel all around the world.I find many people brilliant I know all do some jobs like teachers,accurately, some jobs can influence the future.

So,what can I get from these,I think I should organise some courses to gather people around me to share their experiences to younger people once a year ,in form of English education.I think many people would like to tell their wonderful experiences to others if there is a chance,especially think that,maybe what you have done fantastic can encourage the younger.Let me do this,create a stage to both generations.Is this my dream job,not yet,this should be a work I do each year but only for one month.In the other time,I should do some business,because it's a way I think I can produce social necessaries directly and make money quickly.However,I'm still inadequated in business,just try my best.Maybe I'll find something more attractive and more suitable to me,just keep refreshing,at least,I'm a dynamic person who can not stop knowing new until dead.Completing my life and my career gradually,I just want to keep my dream job upgrade as I grow up,keep my original attention,but follow the streaming of the world.

I appreciate that I have such a familly to support me to do many things I want without worring about too much about money,I also appreciate it I have such a good education to give a multicultural empathy,to adapt to different environment quickly,to touch new things around the world and to have self-awareness.I don't doubt my ability to learn something or achieve something,because the god,if there is,has opened so many doors for me.I'm flexible and changeable.Maybe the only thing I can do and I should do is to be serious to choose,and then be responsible for my choice.However,how can I make a truly perfect choice for me,realise what I want,I have been always dreaming since I was born?Definitely,there is  still a lot of things to study and a long way to go.

We are becoming chefs soon

When we talked about what can we learn in abroad first time,almost everyone mentioned some living skills.We have a sentence,quoted from Mr.Unknown,studying abroad maybe can not make you become an excellent student,but it absolutely can make you become a first-rate barber,or a chef,even a second-hand seller.I know my friends whose hair need to be cut frequently always do cutting work by themselves,in other words, we all become independent here,learn to do many things that we have never done before,not because we can't,just because we have relied on family or others too much at home.

What I really want to mention is the cooking ability,friends around me,such as Miranda,Yong,Sofia,even Witty,which we all think the most impossible one,she can cook beef and different kinds of soups well.That's also in here,the first time I found I can knead the dough,make dumplings all by myself.We started to pay more attention to our daily life,because I think although studying abroad is a little tough, but we need to adapt to a new environment,which actually make us jump out of gossip society,more secluded,less complicated.It's also because of studying abroad,men seem not so dominant,different from the native people,we are just concerned more on how to build our elementary life conditions well,we haven't extra time to think how to predominate others,to use some techniques, to join some parties,besides,we don't have enough people who may listen to us and we were just like idiots at the beginning.Similarly,to our surprise,the male students here do better housework and cooking than we thought them before in such an environment,at least the men we know here.

It's also the first time I can gain so much knowledge about Chinese dishes,maybe it's better to jump out of the environment if you want to know more about it.I just stay at a stage where I can see the whole scene of Chinese dishes when I am in abroad now.As an old Chinese saying goes,Lookers-on see most of the fans.Living abroad,I have known more about myself,about life,about human.Just include the change in one aspect,we are becoming chefs soon.

The Apprentice

I'm not a person who like watching TV programme,but these days,I really enjoy a BBC programme,named THE APPRENTICE.That's a programme where the famous tycoon Lord Sugar invests £250,000 in the idea the last winner has.The victor, the only one,must suffer from 12 tough tasks and have excellent commercial insight and business sense.This programme has taught  me a lot, although I knew it in class and started to watch it from task 8 of series 8 in this year.

In the whole series,you almost can't find the closely tasks,completely different,but all are extremely difficult,which observe everyone in deep and find their strength and weakness,even their potential.I must say, people who have courage to join this must be very confident and outstanding in this area.I admire them.Every task is a challenging,you can not ensure that you are always in comfort zone,everyone is trying his best to win the competition.People who have experienced this can acquire a lot not only in business,but also in life,since the apprentice require such a high personal quality in business.Equally,Lord Sugar will also get the man he wants and have a truly partner.To be honest,I think Lord Sugar is very means but brilliant,he took a high risk to give money to the apprentice,but he is also dominant and cautious,sometimes arrogant,especially when I hear he says,"This is my boardroom, by the way,this is my money"and"If I want  a friend ,I‘ll have a dog.I'm looking for a partner".

I'm so happy to know many things about business world in the UK through the programme.In China, we also have so many programmes worth watching,but it seems no programme like this.I know THE APPRENTICE is learning a same kind of programme in America,and it works well so far.We have learned lots of knowledge related to this these days,and I have a deep impression of this.I have learned a lot from every candidate and I'll keep following on the process to see the result,I really want to know which candidate can get this life-changing opportunity.Actually,I also have my own evaluation about them, and I really want to know what I think is suitable or not in the truly cases.

Every candidate is a normal one like us,but they must have more experience than us in business world,even through,they still make mistakes,if I were one of them, how far can I go ahead.Many things in life can only come once,I haven't time to miss them,especially if I were a business man,the past time can't represent anything,the same as the future,only now,the same mistake can't be made again.Everyday is new to do my best,but keep mind calm,because I'm easy to be influenced and still can't work well in a high pressure,I'm also afraid to do some wrong in the field I'm good at.

All in all,I have a good attitude to learn new things,to correct my mistakes,nothing can be achieved without effort.I also have confidence in my learning ability,although I'm such a normal one,but I can do something excellent just compared with myself.If possible,I'd like to do be a candidate like them,it must be  an unforgettable experience.

Being an international student for ASRA

During my life in London,I have experienced a lot and the most challenging one is being part of a panel of experts on accommodation and attend  the ASRA(Association for Student Residential Accommodation) conference on April 2nd 2012 at Warwick University,as well as the other three international students.It was the first time they invited students to join and help accommodation officers better understand the actual experience of finding accommodation and living in the UK for an international student.It seemed that I was a lucky dog.Actually,my friends and I had an Easter Holiday Travel all around the North of Britain from April   1st to 7th and our first station is Liverpool,so I left our travel group to Coventry on the next day.Thanks to the google map,I had a smooth trip by myself.It was such a formal meeting and I was just a freshman,which made me a little excited.Fortunately,everything went well with a good preparation.I modified my talk details for four times and practiced speaking to my friends for several times,which made a good performance like a native speaker.I talked what I want to express with a medium speed.Officers there were also very kind and helpful.Totally,I really appreciated that I could have this opportunity,particularly I had only stayed here for two months at that time.I also want to give my thanks to Andrew,who told me this information and gave me advice.

My presentation about China

http://www.screenr.com/TLX8
It's the first time I use the online screencast,which Andrew told me,to record my presentation,but it's really wonderful if I have more time,because there is a time limit,only 5 minutes.I got so many things to talk and share.
China is a mysterious country for many foreigners.It's historical,vast and populous,but if you try to know her,it's not so difficult to do.I put the most important ones about China here,which may be helpful.
Do you like China?Do you want to know more about China?Let's start together.

****BERRY

I found an interesting thing when I went to Morrison to buy some stuff.My friend wanted to buy a bottle of jam and she was confused because of all kinds of different flavours,that was also the first time I  had seen such many flavours just about berry,like blueberry,raspberry,blackberry,mulberry.The most common one is the strawberry,which we often eat,but I was still surprised to know there are a large amount kinds in the family of berry.Actually,my friend study botany courses in university and she told me many amazing knowledge of plants that day,which drove me to know more about plants in my life.I feel also intrigued when I hear that some vegetables are not allowed to sell because of their ugly shape.Maybe people eat food not only because the nutrition,but also the beauty,and sometimes names also matter as well.

Jane Austen

These days,I'm fond of the novels from Jane Austen,an English novelist in the 18th century,she left six complete novels to history of the English literature,like Pride and Prejudice,Sense and Sensibility. According to the novels of Jane,I started to have a knowledge of landed gentry in Britain,which is familiar with the feudalism in old China.Jane worked on romantic fiction in het entire life,actually,I think the most romantic story is hers,due to the film named Becoming Jane,acted by Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy.She was so sane that didn't get married.She was so wise to analyse the reality of the only way for women to guarantee life is getting married in that times,besides,women didn't have the right to receive the property from elder generation.It was a tragedy of the age,also the tragedy of women.However,in her novels,we can also feel the spirit of characters,courage to against the traditional limits for women,to pursue happiness and so on.Whilst,Jane's novels also set an example for others about how to write a love novel. Her realism and biting social commentary has gained her historical importance among scholars and critics,and also gained fans around the world number in the millions today,and I'm one of them.

Just Feeling

Today is a sunny day,but a little unfortunately,we five Chinese girls have an password test.We should have a test after a period of study in fact,to help us find our weakness and bring up.I don't like test but sometimes really want to have a test,like today.I am a little depressed because I find many of them I can't deal with very well.I'm confident in studying but dissatisfied with today's test even though I don't know the result.I really want to know if English is my first language,what the situation of my language expressing.To be honest,I am happy to find some differences between the daily study and test.I need to do some practise but also strength my habitual English knowledge,just like collocation.I need to know more English information because language is variety,how can I expect to be good at English just by school study.Another interesting thing I find is that people can make a progress quickly when they move to a new environment at first,once we get used to normal life,we can't continue progressing.Because there aren't some things urgent to drive us,we can get by easily,especially there are people from your country around you.So what's the purpose of the foriegn language learning,to adapt other nationalities?so how deep should we adapt to?I have many questions about this.If I continue,this should be a question about languages existence.Language is just a symbol of culture.I don't think one person can get into two cultures well if he wants to be good at both.His eyes will be boarden but one of these two must be majority at final.Just like no one believe in two religions,except he is recognizing all of them now.Or we can say culture is disappearing while culture is mixing.I don't know.I can't give a proper explaination to myself now and there are so many things I don't know in the world after all.but I know the first and the most important is that I want to know as much as I can about English and British people and culture and so on between the study here.I must keep my curiosity of recognizing for it is also the original power of study more. I want to know others and I also want others know me.When can I express myself in English as fluent as in Chinese? I have so many things to do to reach my target,so just go ahead,don't slow down.

Journey to Oxford University

This Saturday,we have been to the University of Oxford with Peter,our hoster.In the morning,it rained a little,but we were eager to go there to explore the famous university in the world.We set off at 8:30am.I must to say,there was a very natural air along the way.Everyone had a high energy and talked happily on the way.When we arrived at Oxford,the weather has already turned well.Oxford is bigger than my imagination.We walked along the main road and passed the field where the series movie Harry Potter has taken a picture here.There are many old buildings here,some of them with a unique design on the entrance,which attracted me a lot,it should be about the religion.We also found some representitive stores,where you can buy something special.There were a lot of people on Saturday in Oxford,most of them should be visitors.We had a lunch in a crowded restaurant,some peope said that where there are many people,there are delicious,exactly it was in Oxford,and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch.Then,we have viewed some diffenrent places as we liked.It was a relax trip in total,but I wanted to see more about the university in fact,but it seemed nothing in it,under a glamorous reputation,Oxford is really a good place to live and study,normal and peaceful.

V&A Museum in London

Some days ago, our teacher took us to the V&A Museum in London,actually it's the modernest and most beautiful museum I have seen.The design of the iron,gold and diamond from history to now attracted me a lot.I appreciated the talent of the designer and the wisdom of the human.In the museum,all things are gentle and full of art,even the stone at the corner,you can also see the pictures made by colorful glasses along the gallery.Which impressed me most is the part of gold, silver and diamond,before you came in, you can feel the shining from the inside, although these materials are from different countries and different period of history.Oppositely,the various styles of them really broadened my horizon.You can see tiny details of each one,while most of them are made by hand.How wonderful they are! Terriblely,I was very tired and had a slight headache that day,so I didn't enjoy myself very well.If possible,I want to there for a second time,to have a further explore.

Language in my country and in my opinion

I think people have slang in every language.We have "giliverble" in China means powerful or wonderful ,just like "guys" in English.It's normal but in different amount from different languages.There is much slang in China every year and we even choose the most representative one to ten to write into the dictionary.Using slang shows you easygoing and fashion sometimes in a proper extent,of course some bad ones make you sound stupid.I don't think using slang will lead standards of language to fall,and it's just a way of language boarding.But I still think it is important to have a good grammar,I do it well in Chinese and speak well.In fact,I want to study some polite slang in English,which can make me know more about the culture,also the development of English spoken. Besides,I agree with the idea of Emma,the famous young actress in Britain,about slang.I'll still study grammar and right express of English,maybe pick up some slang.After all,most of the slang belongs to "teenspeak" but differently from our parents and grandparents.I want to communicate well with the people of the same generation,but also my parents and grandparents.

My study in London

This is my first diary using the new blogger.I have been studied here for one week,but I don't think I have got used to the life in London.There are so many differences in life between China and England,eating,living,busing and so on.Now I still have many questions about my study and my life for that I have always been curious.But I believe that I can solve all problems I meet.So just try and do my best!!!

Homework 19th Feb

Do women usually work after they get married in your country? It's very normal for women to work after they get married in China.As the developing of society，women are more respected by others and they are also engaged in some important positions in our country.Women become more independent than old times, they work for themselves and make money no matter if they get married or not. Do lots of people in your country work overtime? Are they paid extra money for this? Most people in our country work overtime,but they are not always paid extra money for the work because they haven't finished their work in time sometimes.Another reason may be that they want a relax time later so that they do the work overtime to finish all of them.If the extra work is gotten from the boss,you're always paid extra money for the work. Do you think it is more important to make a lot of money or to enjoy your job? I think making a lot of money is more important because every job has its interesting side and you adapt to it and enjoy it,but in the most situation we can't make enough money with a usual job.I also think a job which makes a lot of money can also let you enjoy it Do many women in your country work in the military? Police force? Government? Not many,but maybe a lot in government.Women are more suitable to work in office,but in the military and police office ,you almost can't see the women for the difference between man and women in physics.But the number of the women working in these places has become more and more since the national day of 2009. Do you think women and men should be paid the same for the same job? I think it depends on the job,if the job is proper to women,maybe they should be paid more,but if men are good at the job,they worth more.Or we can say we paid money for their work not for their gender. Do many people work from home in your country? What are the positives and negatives of working from home? Yes,they are many people in our country work from home due to the advanced Internet.We can save the money of transportation and can arrange the schedule freely if we work at home. Sometimes,we even experience a more effective work time at home,but we could not avoid the lazy philosophy at home and we have a less communication with workmates.
