My assignment for english corner on 4.18
2004.4.18 2pm, I came to leader zhang's office, but somone had not got
here.zhang,xiao huang yu and Tina had got in. then volcano and
appletree came in.
after about 20 minutes we started, password and ilic joined us , ilic
bought chocolate for us in order to make apologize for her late. It's realy
kind of her. I would have taken some more if I had not eaten too much at
noon. she is so sweet a girl.
leader zhang said a story about egg to emphasize importance of
pronunciation. told us a story about egg to show us pronunciation is
important in english speaking.
we did introduction ourself at beginning time. I was so serious about my
introcucation and told them a joke.
volcano said: "interesting".I'am so happy to hear his praise.
Compared with other friends ,My english is so poor. depressing.
At first the talking atmosphere is friendly,happily, then someone talked
abount living,socity,even lending money.It's too depressive. faint. I think
money will come and go , though I'm poor.
Leader zhang said he like YOUTIAO and pickle , It's very good. I like
chinese beef noodle.I have met a guy, after 20 years' living in the States,
he still easts the chinse ZAJIANG noodle with garlic in every *ing day.
oh, yeah, The Chinese food is the most delicious food in the world.
I learnt from zhang some thing like "piss me off", that means makeing me
hungry. It's usufull to learn such words , so that I could always piss
somebody off in the rest of my life.
finding no one done his assignment, I propose that the one who was late
should finish his own. but according to what ever things I can't understand,
I have to do it tool. If I knew my propose should cause so much trouble, I
should stay quiet.All right, that's ok. Since I haven't written any english
for long. that's the very chance to improve my writing and get rid of my
lazy habbit.
After our friendlly conversation, zhang,tina,password,volcano and me went
to for dinner in some small resturant.
According to the tradition of LVYE . "AA", We spent as low as 10 yuan each
so that we wouldn't piss off each other. ( I could use it le!)
leader zhang suggested me not to join class of new oriental. It's a good
idea.
I'am mad at myself. I will work hard on my english. I envy you all.
Your encouragements and help will accelerate my progress.I hope we'll be
good friends.
suggestion:
1. we need a break every hour in order to go toilet next time.
2. we should take some easy topic .
3. we could play murder game.
4. team leader can be turn over if anyone is capaciable for this position.
for to be a leader is hard.

2004.4.18 下午 我来到了领队张的会议室。但是有些人还没有到。
张,guest,小黄鱼,蒂娜已经到了。然后陆续中 火山,AppleTree 来了,
开始大概12分钟,密码和 ilic 也到了,其中 ilic 为了弥补自己的迟到给大家买了巧克力。
太感谢了。如果不是中午吃多了,一定要多吃几个。张补充说she is a so sweet girl.
leader zhang 讲了一个关于egg的故事,说了发音的重要性。
我还从zhang那里学了一个词 piss me off , 意思是使我生气。俺是个粗人,学些脏话还是记得住的。哈哈。
大家讨论得非常热烈,一直持续到了5:40.
我想起来没有人写作业,便提议迟到的人写作业,但是不知怎么搞的,变成我也要写篇英语的作业。唉,言多必失。吃人家嘴短,就不该多嘴。 不过也好,强迫自己写英语作文了,塞翁失马,焉知非福,治治自己的懒惰。thus I can improve my written english step by step.
Gone With the Wind 《乱世佳人》
"...Tara!...Home. I'll go home, and I'll think of some way to get him back! After all, tomorrow is another day!"
"明天又是新的一天!"
"Tomorrow is another day."
(明天又是新的一天),《乱世佳人》(1939)的结尾,命运乖舛的费雯丽站在树下迎向阳光,说出这句百折不挠的名句。
I didn't read all but "piss off" got my attention. I believe it was used incorrectly. Pissing me off means making me angry. Please double check with your dictionary. If you "could always piss somebody off in the rest of" your life, well, you would lose all your friends.
MrSkyHorse had told us one good way to learn english.
find a couple of words that you have never known, then try to use it in this day. u'll find u can use it many times in a day, then it will be a cool day in hell that u forget it.
We learn English because we want to make good use of it.
