My homework

Volunteer work

I helped the Danish for about five hours from 11P.M in the morning to the 4P.M in the afternoon. First, I met the people you leads to me in the 10-D classroom, and then Peter led us to the dormitory because it is the closest place near the 10-D classroom. Unfortunately, we got refused because they said they could not let us in without the admission from the students’ office. So we decided to go to the football field first, then, go to the student’s office, while we are showing them our art classroom. So we went to the football field and talked about how we played sport game on the field, and we said that we love that field so much ,that is favourite place of ours.they are quite intersting about our P.E calaases, and they said in the half of the schooltime, they played sports games with P.E classed. Of coure, we were very envious of them. We kept talking and Victor came to us and said that he had already got the tickets. We were very glad to hear that and decide to lead them back to the dormitory, on the way back to the aformaitory ,they saw our cafeteria and said tht our cafaeteriaa seems to be very good, and we told them that it is not as good as it looks like. Finally, we arrived in the dormitory and they saw a beautiful scene, everthing is in order except one of our dormmate was still sleeping. We had called Victor to clean up our bedroom, but unfortunately, this guy just did not get the idea that it is not good to be seen as sleeping in the bed when it is almost 12A.M, and my friend Victor was not strong enough to wake him up, so the Danish student may have a feeling that Chinese student are very lazy. After all, the Danish students seems to feel fine about our job, and as you have known, I took out my big great box to let them know that I was such a kind man that I would do whatever I can to help the poor students. So they all donate some money and some of classmates got mad for me that moment, but afterwards, it does not even matter.
After finish my job in the morning, Joe asked me to have the dinner with the Danish students which they are working with, so I was very glad to have some Swish food with them, however, the foods are very expensive, and I did not have too much money that time, so it makes me feel really hard. Luckily I finsihed that as fast as I can and leave the places, and I used that as Western food as either. Anyway, I really enjoy this experience, and I think I will do it again if I have another chance.. Thank you for giving me a chance to have such a waonderful time with so many international people, thank you for all, Ms.Bartell

Public Events
At Qingming Festival, our mother’s conpany made a trip to the Yuhua cemetery to clean the frave, this is the traditional event of China and more than twenty of the collegues went to the place to remind their ancestor and their passed away familyship. That day was raining, nobody of the team seems to be very happy, we are our thinking about the dead people which could never become a happy topic.people are very confused when they faces the death. In the afternoon, we finally arrived the cemetery, all of us had brought some paper money and some red pigment which used to decorate the name on the gravestones. We used a long time to paint the gravestone which exactly is not my bussiness, I am always wiliing to burn the paper money, I think if they do not have enough money, nobody will care what names they have. So I think it is much more important to have more money than having a famous name, like myself, my name is Chenkun which is the same as a famous star;s name, but this never help me, in fact, if anybody ever want t have a famous star’s name, they even do not need more than one hundred RMB. Anyway, I felt confused about some nemes on the gravestones because the only thing I know about my ancestor is that their last name is Chen, and the only familyship of me who lies on that land is my uncle, however, I had never seem him because he was already dead before I was born. So I always feel confused when I come to the cemetery. Anyway, we had a fine trip and I will always miss my uncle and my ancestors.

I visit this place in the May holiday, the first impression of this place of me is I went to a big garden. In fact, when I first came here, I never knew this is the famous temper, I used to think this is some kind of gardens, I wonder the beautiful of this place and it is really fantastic because it is both modern and traditional. I would like to visit this place some other days. I strongly recommended you and the other teacher to visit this place because it is the valuable treasure of the Chinese culture.

Watching performance

Watching Performance I watched the taming of shrew long long time ago, it is a nice play which I really enjoy. I used to want to help dear Ms. Bartell with the preparation stuff, but I am totally late, so it made me very hard to help our glad planning teacher Ms. Bartell. I think it is a great shame to be late to volunteer and mess up the entire thing, but unless I could watch the show. i really did not understand Shakespeare's sense of humor, but the noisy sound of the main character’s speaking really impressed my ears. Unfortunately, my ears really didn't enjoy the sound, so I prefer to talk with one of my acquaintances who sit next to me. We have a great talk, and my ESL classmate always changed the topic when he thought the question was embarrassed. So I never get the idea what he was trying to talk about. I talked about if he has a girl friend, he said: “The weather is great.” And I want to talk about his grade, it is a sunny day. So we are just wasted our time instead of watching the inapprehensible performance. The only thing that impressed me during the performance was the sleeping guy who sits in front of the stage; I was thinking if he was sleeping or just pretended. It would be very hard for me to sit on the stage and sleep for more than an hour; i really do not think he was sleeping that moment because it is too noisy over that time. So I really respected his patient. I could hardly think of staying on the stage for an hour and do nothing, this would probably kill me. I think the boy who acts as the father is really a great actor.
After all, the show is not as bad as I thought it will be. At least, unless one of third GCA students went there and waited until it is over including me. And most of the GCA teacher went to the show which is a good thing. I hope we could have some other Shakespeare’s drama because it is fantastic. And after all, I want to say word do not concern your name, and make me very confused if I had typed your name correctly.

Visit Museum

On November 22, 1937, as the Japanese Army advanced on Nanjing, Rabe, along with other foreign nationals, organized the International Committee and drew up the Nanjing Safety Zone to provide Chinese refugees with food and shelter upon the impending Japanese slaughter. He explained his reasons thus: "..there is a question of morality here.. I cannot bring myself for now to betray the trust these people have put in me, and it is touching to see how they believe in me." The zones were located in all of the foreign embassies and at Nanjing University. Rabe also opened up his properties to help 650 more refugees. The following massacre would kill hundreds of thousands of people, while Rabe and his zone administrators tried frantically to stop the atrocities. His attempts to appeal to the Japanese by using his Nazi membership credentials only delayed them; but that delay allowed hundreds of refugees to escape. In the documentary film Nanking it was said he was responsible for saving 250,000 Chinese civilians..(From Rabe’s dairy)
Today, I visit Rabe’s house at Xiao Fen Qiao. It is really hard for people to image how Rabe could keep brave and saved refugees as possible as he could. Rabe and her family were threatened and abused by japanese for several times to hand in the refugees to the japanese, but he kept his mind and never gave up saving human. I think we should learn something from Rabe which is we should always try our best to help people and never gave up the wishes, if Rabe was once afraid of the japanes and gave the refugees to the japanese, they must be killed very cruelly. And Rabe’s story also reminded me that if a country is not powerful enough, it would be too easy for other countries to invade. So we should study hard and work hard to build china into a strong and powerful country, and never let the historical tragedy happen again.
Rabe’s house was very beautiful for me as well; it is hard for me to believe if a citizen of Nanjing could live in such a kind of decorated place. Rabe could live in such a fantastic house because he is not only a Germany officer but also a representative of the Siemens Company which used to be the largest company in the world. I feel very glad to see the old buildings of Nanjing because it is very cultural and have great gardens; you can hardly find this kind of buildings in Nanjing. I think you should see some old buildings in Nanjing if you have free time.

Western food

I had dinner at Swiss restaurant at East shopping mall during 12a.m to 1a.m at 14th March’s afternoon. We had the dinner with the Danish students, and Joe helped me take the pictures. We had a great dinner there, Swiss food s were really delicious. I had a kind of spaghetti which made of potatoes, chess and bacons. It is really delicious and makes you satisfaction because of the chess in side of spaghetti. This spaghetti was made into the shape of a cube which would be really strange for Chinese because Chinese only have noodles instead. And we had a good time with the Danish students, they are very out-going which made me feel very comfortable, and some of them wear eardrop which is a little bit strange for us but they are really just nice person, they are much nicer than the exchange students we met last time. In the dinner time, they are willing to share some of their food with us, and this made me very bu hao yi si because I only bring little of money and can give them nothing. The foods there are all very delicious because of the cheese inside it which made it very delicious. I love the pizza which is ordered by Sylvia and James, it is really delicious and James and Sylvia Really can not eat it all, and they really did not want to dog pack it, so I finish the last piece of pizza for them. And the Danish students ordered a hotpot which mad by cheese, you could just put the thing you want to eat inside the hotpot and it will be covered by a thick layer of cheese. Though I had not eat this plate but I could still get the fantastic smelling of it from far away.
I had said that it is not only the foods but also the Danish students which made me enjoy the dinner, they are really nice person and they really know a lot. Most of them are bilingual speaker and some of them could even speak more. They also had been to a lot European countries which most of the Chinese could never be to. Their country also sounds very good because you can have medical treatment free in Denmark and you could also have education free at Denmark, China always have a difficult time with this social material benefits subject. And the greatest things of the Denmark is that they only need to have five or six classes a day which sounds so great to us because as you know we need to have about ten classes every day.
All good things must come to the end. When we finish the dinner, I had to say goodbye to them and Joe decided to take them to play soccer which is sound great. But I really had something important to finish and I did not have enough time to do it Sunday, so I said goodbye to them and took the subway to go back home.

career planning

I joined piano club because I am very interesting in this club, two of my friends used to play piano very often when they were at China, the were my best friends, and they had strongly influenced me. My parents also want me to learn a kind of musical instrument, I am very stupid with guitar or the violin, and I am not very interested in the Chinese musical instrument, so I decide to learn how to play piano. I knew it is very difficult to play piano, but I still want to play piano very much because I could enjoy myself when I am playing the piano. My friends had told me that the process to learn piano is very hard, and I am such a impatient man that I would give up the things that I am focus on very easily, so even though they thought it is such a fantastic action to learn how to play the piano, they still strongly recommended me not to do this. But I am such a stubborn person who never listens to the other people’s suggestion, and I am very lazy, so I don’t want to do a lot of physical activities. If I must choose one club to finish the portfolio, I would choose the piano club. So I had chosen the piano club in the end.
The leader of the piano club is Mark, we had few activities but it is always very difficult for us to find some pianos to exercise, so we can hardly train our skills about pianos. Actually, this club is very unsuccessfully, it is totally a nightmare, even Mark had realized that. We had seldom touched the pianos because none of us wanted to buy one, and NFLS’s pianos were unusable. I would like to say the planning of this club is terrible, no equipment and no organism, totally nothing. We talked about this few times. But it is still useless.
After I had joined the piano club, I realized that it is very important to plan before we do something. I had seen plenty of people suffering by no planning, some of them slept until midnight to review for the test, some of them chose to dance instead of studying, and all of them had got the evil consequence or they could do a much better job in another way. I prefer to join the soccer club after this painful failure because the number of the members of the basketball club is too much and they had few activities this year. Anyway I knew a lot of people in the football club, and they are always trained at Thursday. Even though I am a lazy person, I still think I should have some kind of exercise to keep me not too fat, I would like to have a club in order than a messy club forever even I do not like it, I think I had chosen the best way I can.

volunteer work

It could be pie from the sky for poolroom to have GCA student working at there, though the quality of the GCA student is not as good as the professional clerk, but it is still very good to have some free helper. I had seen some GCA students working at the poolroom, I used to think that

is avery ridculous thing because GCA students do not need to work for living. but when i got very panic that I did not have enough volunteer hour, I found that i need to do the same thing

as the GCA student who i used to think is a little bit strange.

I had play billiards for two years. I couldn’t say that I am very good at it, but unless I understand how to play it. I had seen people setting the ball for hundreds of times, including some GCA students; they were not very proficient in doing this. And I had set the ball by myself for about thirty to forty times because I could not wait for the clerk to set the billiards. So it is not very difficult for me to do this volunteer work.
I worked quiet fine at the poolroom, I am kind of suit for this place, I had known the people worked here for about two years, and I knew I just need to do the same things as they do in five days. I worked not so hard because there is no need for me to work hard, I could stay there and buy a can of Coke though it is sold much more expensive than the shopping mall, and I could also talk with some of the clerk here, and they said even some foreigners went to here when they had free time.
Even though I did not have too much work to do, I still need to set the billiards when the other clerks were busy. I found that I could set the billiards very quickly, I even do this quicker than some new clerks. I had plenty of experience about how to set the ball.
When I finished my five days work, the boss of the poolroom is very willing to give me the certification, and I am also very happy to receive the certification. So I bought one of the clerk who I had known for two years a can of Coke. This person always has raillery with me because I am such a miser that I am even not willing to buy my friend a can of Coke. I enjoyed the work at the poolroom very much, it is such a nice tim

physical activity

In order to make me more strong and energetic, and finish my planning portfolio, I have insisted on lifting up a 10 kilograms dumbbell for 120 times with my both hands, and doing 120 sit-ups everyday. I am not only very tired but also very painful after I finish the exercising, but I had never given up because I knew that I need to be trained as an adamantine man on my own.
The first time is the most difficult time; my muscles were atrophied after long time sitting in front of the computer and television. I can hardly lift a 10 kilograms dumbbell for ten times. How could I do 120 times? I keep asking myself this stupid question, and the only answer is to try more hardly. So I left my cute TV and my smart computer though I always miss them very much.
After overcome the pain of stretching of the atrophied muscles, it is much easier for me to do exercise. I always have some cookies and milk when I am doing exercise. What a nice time it is! But bad luck is always following behind me. I got hurt because I tried too hard. I can not move my left arm anyway. It is so disturbing that I could not get my money from my left pocket; I was wondering why I put my money into my left pocket not my right pocket. I felt embarrassed when I used my right hand hardly to get out my money from the left pocket to pay for a can of Coke. At last, I decided to take off my coat and take all my money into the right pocket.
After two day’s rest, I felt much better with my left arm. I found it is better to get relax myself after the training, so I bought some ice cream in order to relax myself after the high pressure training. I felt so period of myself because I had already had 10 hours physical activity but I will continue my training as I can because it is not only good for my body but also good for my spirit.
Finally, I am again sitting in front of the television and playing my computer games; I found that it is ok to play while you are working very hard. In fact, the only thing we need is an adamantine heart and nothing else. If we can insist on our goal until we finish it, our life would be much better.
