Final journal

Actually, I want to say I really hate writing. I remember that in my high school I usually spend hours to write a short article for my writing class. And now journal is a challenge for me as well. I just do not know what to write about. Before I get inspiration, I usually sit in my room and do nothing. And the reason why I can’t write maybe is I am the person who truly doesn’t know how express my own feelings. Although I hate writing, I enjoy the ESL class a lot. This is my favorite class since I have come to the U.S. The class is fun and useful. Teacher is excellent and students are really humorous. And I have learned many writing skills that I believe will improve my writing a lot. Especially the class we learned how to look up useful information for our research paper is really important for me. That was the first time I noticed how powerful our school library is.
Although I hate writing, I really admire the people who can write a thoughtful article, and I want to be one of them. So I’d love to continue my study in the writing. I always think my thought is like a white paper that has nothing on it. And what I want to do is draw a beautiful picture on it. I think I should read more English book, and learn more writing skills. And I really want my ESL 114 teacher can teach my ESL 115. I want to learn more things from her.

will humans always be superior to machines?

This is a really interesting topic I saw in a book. I am a huge fan of fiction movies, and I have seen countless of roborts try to development their own kingdom and be the masters of humans. Nevertheless, in the real world, I think humans will always be superior to machines. First of all, machines are invinted by humans. Humans create machines and use them as a tool of life, such as cars, toy robortand video games. Alought they are creative and powerful, they are just tools for entertainment or transportation. Without humans, they are nothing. Secondly, all the machines don't have their own intelligence. They just follow a serious of orders that humans give them. And it's really hard to create a intelligent creature, because humanselves are really complicated and sophisticated. Thirdly, on the other hand, it's presuptuous to assert with confidence that humans will always maintain their superior status over their machies, because the potentiality is unpredictable, maybe one day humans can create some machinces with emotion, which would be in the far future.

What I live for

Recently I read a article named what I live. This is a question I thought about for a long time.

When I was young, I thought I live for happiness. If I can play with friends whole day, that would be best way of living. When I grow a bit old, I think people live for creating some new thing. Because that time i was so interested in the science class, I thought people who can create new device like computer or some super machine is really successful.Therefore, I thought becoming a man like that is the goal of living. When i get in high school, I thought people live for help others. My father is a person like that. He is such a doctor that always take the health of his patient the most important thing. He did almost five surgeries everyday, which is almost twice than other doctors in China. He did that because he had a huge number of patient waiting for him to cure their disease, and he didn't want them to wait for too long. So he gave up his own spare time to help them. I think my father is a great man.
After reading this article ,I thought I should be a person describe in the book. It said that"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair."
It is really a great summary for what people live for. When I grow older, I think I can understand it more clearly

contrast and compare paragraph

The left clock and right clock are similar in shape.Also they both point at same time. But there are still some differences, the left clock is like liquid,but the right clock is like glass. Moreover, the right clock is in a painting, but the left one is in a real world. To me, the most similarity is that the two clocks give me a strong feeling about the time is going by very fast.

I saw Avatar few days ago in China, one of the blockbuster in those days.I think I haven't seen this story hundred times, but no one like this. The 3d visual effect is so impressive, according the newspaper, I know this movie have the greatest 3D effect in all the science-fiction movies. I believe everyone enjoy the visual experience, no doubt.

As for the story, some of the "inspirations" and "creation" are so creative and incredible. I cannot use any words to describe the spectacular scene of the movie. People can only feel it by watch it in the movie theater. It is really a great movie. And everything in that world is amazing and beautiful. I particularly like the plants and creature which are around by light..

It's really great movie that no one can miss it.

1.people destroy other creatures' habitat, because we want to develop our society.

Japanese animation

I really like Japanese animations. They are really fun and creative. You can never imagine how these directors came up with the fantastic ideas and stories. And also animators do a great to make the directors’ thought become really in the animation.
First, I should say I can’t live without the animations. They are the spirit food to me. Every weekend I will watch two or three Japanese animations on the internet. They are really great, full of amazing ideas, it just like take me to another world, do a great adventure. I am the person who is crazy about high technology weapons, such as the robot warrior, Japanese call it mobile suits.
One of my favorite Japanese animation is called Gundum, which is one of the most powerful robot in the 2080. The justice man use it to protect the earth and planet. Actually the story itself is really complicated. This animation made some predictions about the human future life. And it says that maybe in the future human will destroy themselves because the war is never stopped.
And some animations pictured the most moving love in the world. One of the animation is called sakura. It has a great story and I watch it more than three times. This Valentine's Day I watched it again. And I get some new feelings. Although the lovers are separate in two different places, there is still some strong connection between that make them can feel each other.

Protect the environment

Polluting the environment is a old problem people talked about a lot. Every day the pollution can be seen in my country, and I really hate these activities.

There is a huge difference about the sky between China and America. In my hometown city, the sky is always crowded with cloud which cause it looks gray. Therefore, I feel uncomfortable when I watch the sky every time. However, at the first time, I came to U.S.A，the sky changed. It is clear and blue. This is one reason I fall in love with this country. This is only one aspect of the pollution form people. There are something more terrible that even affect the living of other creatures, disposal chopstick is made by wood, so producing these things will cause a big disaster to the forest, and China produces a lot of these stuff, so you can image the forest in China is badly damaged.

I believe that everyone has the responsibility to protect our environment instead of polluting it. And it’s very simple. When you go to work or school, you should try to use public transport or ride a bike. And when you go shopping, you should use your own bag instead of a plastic bag. These are the simple things we can do in our life, and if we do it well and keep it as a habit, this will improve our environment a lot.

Another important issue about environment I’d love to talk is about endangered animals. Cutting the forest and polluting of lakes are the main cause of animal species’ extinction. The animal kingdom is an intricate matrix of independent relationship, in which each species depends on many others for its surivival. If this relationship is broke, It can cause a series of extinctions that ultimately might endanger our own survival as speicies.

In conclusion, protecting our environment is really significant. And everyone should take the responsibility
