7/16 relationship

today I wanna share something about relationship. when it comes down to how to build a good or healthy relationship. I think, some of our friendship may deepen,while others might fade away. in our life ,there are always lots of interesting new people to meet,and being in a good relationship can be complicated, so we need to follow some rules to make sure our friendships are healthy.for example,people like it when their friends are honest with them. you can’t tell others you come to do somethings many times and you still haven’t done it, you need to keep you promise. And, although sometimes you need to compromise,but in a healthy relationship, people shouldn’t always compromise,you can have strong ideas about many thing, and if you don’t agree with others you should just let them know what you think, a healthy relationship should make you feel good about yourself and who you are.

7/19 job

today i wanna share something about the future job. Did you know the artificial intelligence? as we know, artificial intelligence and robotics develop pretty rapidly, and it’s one of those things that make people feel anxious by displacing human beings from their work. many jobs will be performed by machines. So, sometimes i was wondering what kind of job should we find for the future? I think machines can only perform tasks that are predictable, rules-based or well-defined and i think a job with oral English might turn out to be one of those things that won’t be performed by machines since it can be creative, so ,luck you, you are learning oral English in the ishow, that’s all thank you.

personality

today i wanna share something about personality. at first, i wanna talk to you about myself. well, i’m one of those guys who sometimes are a little serious and who don’t have a good sense of humor, so i’m really jealous about someone who are really funny and who can have people laughing hysterically. sometimes I think many people around me are pretty humorous. for example, one roommate of mine is one of those people who makes me relax by telling me a joke that I have absolutely need for when i feel tired or sad. besides, I’m a open-minded and respectful guy who’s easy to get along with and if you don’t agree with me, you can just let me know what you think. I don’t like those people who always talk about themselves and manage to mention how good they are at everything they do. Because i think they’re selfish,self-centered and vain, they always think only of themselves. and then, in order to achieve my dream, I really need a change and be more determined or strong-willed when i’m learning oral English and stuff like that. In our life, there are always lots of different people to meet, I think I know just the thing for you to get along with others, It’s that we offer to help others when they run into problems, just like how we do in the ishow, that’s all thank you!

say “no”

today I wanna talk about how to say no. As we know, in our life, there are lots of people who have a big or small favor to ask us. so, if one of your friends need some help, what would you do? I guess all of you are pretty helpful and always be ready to help others. But if we don’t agree with this, how can we do to let them know we don’t agree,It’s really hard to say “no”, because we don’t want to hurt other people’s feelings. In my opinion,people always don’t like it when you are directly to say “no”. For example, if you friend talk to you: would it be ok if borrow you car, maybe you could say I really love to help you out ,but I gonna be needing my car all weekend,It’s like something stop us from doing it. Or you can say thank you, I wish I could, but I can’t when you want to say no to a invitation. I think it could help you to get along with others by doing these.

7/21 diary

Today is the ninth day I learning oral English in ishow,I get up early at 6 o’clock. I think I was so sleepy, just like yesterday, since i stayed up late until 2 o’clock. At yesterday night, I was preparing the presentation about how to say “no”. sometimes, I really worry about the hair loss which make would make people look ugly. So i think i really need a change. after I got up, i went out to the balcony and brushed my teeth，took on the toilet and styled my hair that I was not very good at. the reason I was styling my hair is to make me look more handsome and energetic. there are lots of things that I need put into my bag whose brand is crocodile, such as my pen,notebook,USB cable,cup,umbrella, and mobile phone. I had to leave my dormitory for ishow before six fifty because I had to start to rehearsal for the show with steve at seven thirty and it would take me at least 40 minutes to go to ishow. eventually, the journey began. I go downstairs by elevator. I wasn’t luck enough to have a shared bike to go to the xingangdong subway(metro) station every day. I need to spend 40 minutes to get to the Higher Education Mega Center North Station. After i get out of the station i would rather ride a bike than walk to the ishow, it’s about 10 minutes ride there. after I arrived there, I have about an hour to practice. the first thing is warm up by dancing or running around the ishow， which can relax and refresh ourselves. There two one,”Josie, Josie,Josie“, all of the students were screaming. What a good learning atmosphere that we created and needed. Today our topic is about…the text classes were always a little hard for me,because I can’t hear many sentences, maybe I think i just need to be patient and keep moving. then, the most exciting and tense moment was coming. all of us gave a show on the stage and Josie would comment our performance.

7/25 story1

today i wanna share a story about Sophia and Jeff. One day Jeff spoke to Sophia’s brother Jim and wanted him to give Sophia the message that Tony was having a party on Saturday, he wanted to go to the party with Sophia. Unluckily, Sophia’s old friend peter called Sophia a few hours ago at that day.Peter was going to be in town on Saturday and wanted to get together with Sophia.

Even if I weren’t going out with Peter, I wouldn’t go anywhere with Jeff. he’s such a pain! So, finally, Sophia refused to Jeff. a few days later,Sophia had her purse stolen. it was when she was in Belgium. She was on her way to the airport, so she was standing on the side of the road with her bags, trying to figure out the bus schedule. and then,a bunch of guys came by and asked if they could help her.

Well, luckily, she had put her airline ticket and her passport in one of her carry-on bags.She screamed at the top of her lungs and tried to run after the guys – but they were long gone. Then she did just what she had seen people do on TV: she called her credit card company.But they weren’t helpful, At last, Jeff became Sophia’s lifesavers! because, In no time at all,he’d given her new traveler’s checks and a new credit card, and sent her on her way. and At the end, Sophia fell in love with Jeff and got married to him last year.

Hello, everyone this is Jimmy. Today I wanna talk to you about excuse. In our life, there are always lots of different things you can do and you should do but you don’t want to do. And after we lose the chance to do it, most of us would think we must have personal problems or something that stop us from doing it. Just like we talk to ourselves: it’s nothing, no big deal. sometimes we may think we haven’t been very luck so far and have been waiting for good things to happen to us. It really upsets me when I notice that half the time when we say we are gonna do some thing we never actually do it? So, In my opinion, there is no excuse when we need to do everything in power every single day.
if you are a student, maybe some of you would say:oh, I’m so tired, maybe today I don’t need to work as hard as others, i can do it tomorrow. but actually we always won’t do that. This is one of those things that drives me crazy by trying to persuading ourselves to do something tomorrow. then, image that, if you are working in a restaurant kitchen,so you need to cut up stuff for the chef and wash the dishes, what would you say, some people probably would say: gosh, the money of the job is not so bad, but I can’t stand it when I realize how hot it is in a restaurant kitchen, I can’t stand it when I have to do the same work many times in a row, It’s pretty hard work, I wanna quit. But, in our life, the truth is we won’t quit because we need the money and take care of our family. Finally, i wanna say, There is no excuse as to why we are not good at something or don’t want to do something, Just do it.

hello, everyone, My name is Jimmy. Today I wanna talk about the blame. as we know, when something goes wrong, the first thing we always do is to complain to others, we don’t realize how terrible it is until we do this. In my opinion, we should express the complaint in a appropriate way, because complaining to others can only make us become more angry or frustrated.

hello, everyone, today I wanna share you a story about environment. long long ago, there’s a poor man named Peter lived in a beautiful mountain. the forest on the mountain was lush, the water was clear, the air was fresh, the sky was blue. he used to make his living by cutting trees and use the wood to build a big house, or even sold the wood to earn some money. But he didn’t plant any trees ,which cause an increase in pollution. One day, he had become rich and wanted to have his fortune told. Then he asked the fortune teller what the future will bring. The fortune teller said: your situation at work will become more difficult in the coming days. on the personal side, you will have some lively and interesting discussions with someone you don’t know well. Pay attention to the man’s advice because it will turn out to be good for you in the long run.The next day, he went out and met a
man named Jeff of Greener World. Greener World was developing educational programs for the people who lived in the mountain.They had a group of volunteers involved in several tree-planting projects and were trying to get as many trees planted as possible to help clean the air and also to help lower the temperature during the summer. Jeff taught to Peter: I think what you’re doing is terrible. I wish you could stop cutting trees to help us. You didn’t realize how great the damage of cutting trees is to the mountain. But Peter said: Please don’t bother me, you are one of those people who drives me crazy by persuading me to do something that I’ve absolutely no need for. A few days later, It rained for a long time, because there are few trees,Peter’s house was destroyed by a flood. he lost everything and become a poor man again. The story is telling us: we should take care of the nature and environment. As we know: fishes gotta swim,birds gotta fly, the earth gotta be beautiful.

8/8 pre

I wanna share something about turning point. when it comes to the turning point, I guess most of us have a turning point，But have you ever thought about making a turning point of other people’s life?In my opinion, everyone has the ability to make a great difference to others’ lives. For example, if you are a teacher like Josie, students may have a turning point just by a few sentences you say. Because they find what they want to do in the future,they learn a lot from you, they can use the experiences you share to solve their future problem. I think It could be and believe it will be the turning point of others’ life, Although sometimes you don’t know what exactly happen to others. So, we should learn to do little things for someone. Maybe as for you, what you have done is just small things, but for others, it could be a turning point

university与college在表示“大学”时，在不同英语国家中的使用并不完全相同，在此主要讲一下美国的情况：
university所指的“大学”一般是综合性的大学，主要提供本科，研究生，博士学位的教育。
而college所指的“大学”一般规模较小，而且一般领域的专业性会比较强，多数是提供本科学位教育。
