Weekend Plan

   The weather finally goes down and will keep the following week according to the latest forecast. It's a good time to take kids to look around outside before starting the next semester. The amusement park is a good choice for having fun to kids, as their parents seem a bad choice because no matter where you are, there are always crowd at every amusement facility. Normally, we need to line up several times than having fun time. So, this time, cheap jerseys, I decided to take my daughter to a different place instead of amusement park.
    When my daughter heard that we'll go on a short trip during the next weekend, she was so happy that can't sleep well. She got satisfaction so easy and even a small gift can make her very happy in half a day. The sense of happiness is totally different from an adult.

Live in the present

After work, I didn’t finally live a very comfortable and relaxed life as I once imagined before. Oppositely, I felt more tired and upset.
In others’ eyes, wholesale nfl jerseys, I had a steady job and somewhat decent salary, so I should feel satisfied. Of course, I was grateful that I could maintain my family and create a better life for my mom and help my sister and brother to some extent. However, I still felt down.
I found that I would be easily affected by many things after work. I would worry about my mother’s health if she didn’t feel good, I would be concerned about my sister and my brother’s life if they quarreled with their couples or encountered some problems, I would feel a headache when I thought about the future life of renting a house in Beijing, I would feel inferior when I saw my friends live much better even they didn’t have higher degree. I was so disappointed about my present life. For me, twenty seven years old, still single, sometimes, I would feel so scared if I saw some unwanted things appear on my face. Like other women, I also had to pay more attention to my dress ups, cheap nfl hats, I needed to buy some beautiful clothes and decorations, and I also had to think about how much money I should save every month and every year. At work, I would worry about the way of thinking, talking and how to get on well with others.
As a female at such age, I really don’t know what kind of life I should live and I wonder if others are faced with the same problems as mine. I admit I am getting more fragile, cheap oakley sunglasses, as if a very little thing can bring great pressure to me. Maybe, I should arrange myself more things to do in a day, then I wouldn’t have so much time to feel upset. I know I should live more simply and shouldn’t think that much.

Visiting my friend – Gino Cao

Gino was a chef in Pastry, I knew him when he worked in Kempinski Hotel, as I know many of chefs are more strong and rude to the others, they don’t have good education, cheap nfl jerseys, easy to be lost the temper to their subordinates, shouting and call somebody name at the kitchen, I worked in Finance being a Cost Controller for many years, because of this we had many working communications, I met many of chefs in the hotel. But when I went to his pastry I found many of sugar art in every corner in different colors and styles, totally change my mind for chefs, Gino is a fine and smooth guy, he is the one making the sugar like the art, I was told the sugar is for the decoration of the function party.

Looking for a job

After finishing my study, nfl jerseys cheap, I’ve shifted my focus on looking for a job. I studied automotive engineering and I’ve applied several companies through the Internet. And because it is the period of on-campus recruitments, I plan to go back to my alma mater to attend some vehicle companies’ career talks. However, since I am living in my hometown right now, it costs me 285 yuan and more than 6 hours’ high speed rail to go to the city where my alma mater is. In addition, the accommodation fee is also a big cost.

On the other hand, I have no experience on interview before, I am afraid of group interview, especially the leaderless group discussion. Besides, waiting for application reply is a suffering. Anyway, I am experiencing those anxiety and confusion I didn’t suffer 2 years ago, cheap hats, and I just hope I can get an offer before December.

Why do you want to learn English and what makes you to insist on learning?

Until now, I have insisted on English learning for about 98 days. During these days I’ve spent 190 hours in total, which means that I’ve learn at an average of two hours a day.  As a working mother who has a nine-year old boy and a husband who is always busy, I have to spend most of my time in work and family. These two hours are pretty much all I could have for myself.

So here’s the question I’ve been asked a lot lately: “Why do you want to learn English?” An interesting question. Honestly, cheap Oakley sunglasses, I don’t have any strong motive for that. My job requires me to do some English writing once in a while, like reports, emails, or newsletters.  However English writing has never been my problem, and I could handle them with much ease.  Besides that I don’t have many opportunities to use English. See, no pressures here at all. Therefore for many years, I’ve accepted the fact that as an English major, my oral English sucks. Really sucks, I mean it. Whenever coming to speak English, I become tongue tied. Like there is a magic switch existed, my mind just shut down and went into a total blank.  But I comfort myself by saying: “You are just shy. You don’t even speak much in Chinese. So what’s the big deal?” We can always find an excuse if we want, aren't we. However, lie is just a lie, no matter how comforting it is. I am an insecurity freak. There is always an inner voice whispering: “You have only one life to live. As a human being, you have to have something you could be proud of, something you are really good at. But what do you have?”  English seems to be the only one left. But it’s not something that I could boast of. If someone says: “Oh, your English is good.” The only reply I could give is “But my oral English is terrible.” How desperately I want to change that. Then finally I decided to give it a try. I took a course from an English Learning APP.  I’ve surprised that I could have persevered for so long.
I guess here I must underline the importance of the team spirit. I joined in several WeChat groups and got to learn several incredible learning partners. They all have a busy life,cheap nfl hats, fully occupied with work, family and social activities. However they all do their best to finish their daily learning—never stop for a single day.  G is like me, also a working mother. Her boy is two year old. We all know how demanding a two-year-old could be. So it’s pretty impossible for her to learn at night. To finish her learning, she gets up around 4 o’clock in the morning. And when she has some free time at work, she goes to the toilet to learn English. Can you imagine that? She averages more time at learning than I do and always stay at top 5 in class (out of 227 students). M is a working father who has a busy job. He usually stays late to learn and has also been remained at top 5. There is only once he failed to do his homework, precisely not failed, just two minutes late. That’s the day when his mother-in-law was ill and went into the hospital. C is a girl who loves travelling. Travelling is also the major purpose for her to learn English. Just like me, she is good at English in other ways except speaking. Once she and some friends went for an international trip, while her friends already used body languages and some broken sentences to express themselves clearly, she had still been struggling in mind to organize the words into sentence. After the trip, their friends said jokingly: “We’ve heard that your English was good!” Just imagine how she felt at that time! I fully understand, because I had been there--many times. To have enough learning for learning, she controls her shyness and study during her commute to work in the street---she walks to the office.  Anyway,replica oakley sunglasses, with teammates like them, any excuse is just a lame excuse.

Now I have made some improvements. I’ll still try and see what I could achieve in the future.  Perhaps one day I could say it without any hesitation: “ Yes, I am good at English.”
