I had a wonderful day today











I had a wonderful day on Saturday. This Saturday, I went to walk up Xiangong Mountain with English major friends and I had a great day.
When I don't have classes, I seldom go outside of campus. I prefer to stay at the dorm and connect to the Internet. I used to chat a lot online with different net friends but this semester I also feel it's not interesting to chat all the time online. I get sick and tired of doing this. My Australian teacher suggested me go outside of the dorm and take a visit with friends. I followed his suggestion and had a nice day.
Although it rained that day , we still felt very excited to hike. We also got a surprise there. We saw a very beautiful scenery: the trees were green, the flowers were beautiful and the air was very fresh. What's more, there were heavy fogs flowing around mountains and we seemed to live in a fairy world. I could only see this kind of scenery on TV before. I took many photos and chatted with new friends on the way. I wish I could go outside more and enjoyed my happy life .

New Semester, New Hope

Time flies. A new semester starts again. I have decided to restart writing blog in English again. I tried to write something in English last semester but I couldn't stick to it. I believe it's a good way for a Chinese person to write something about his real life in English every day in order to improve his English.
As a Chinese guy, I feel it's quite difficult for me to improve my English in a short time. I understand it's impossible to make it in a short time but can you imagin that I have learned English for about 9 years. I really want to crack English and communicate with native speakers freely.
Recently I have inspired by my students a lot. One of my American students--Brenton. He has been keeping learning Mandarin with me for over 3 months and we have a session every day. Because of time zone, he needs to get up very early in the morning which is evening for me. I haven't imagined that there is an American guy who will keep learning a foreign language in this way. He is really studious and motivated. Through working with him, I also have learned a lot. Perhaps he doesn't know, but he do inspires me a lot.
No matter how difficult it is , I will try my best to learn as much as I can. I still believe I will succeed some day. I wish I could realize my dream.
