Speeches!!

I went to two speeches yesterday.THE speechers were 劉漢龍 and 周威宇.The central idea of these two was tell us how to manage your money when you earn,what the concept of management or investment is correct,and how to improve yourself to be more competitive than others. Both two speechers mentioned the M shaped society which now has become clearer and clearer in our world:people who is rich get richer and those who is poor become poorer-the society goes to extreme.How can we break through so many talented people and make ourselves be the part of rich side.In addition to those the speechers told us (be special,be professional,be hardworking,be elastic) ,it reminded me of the first English Listening class the powerpoint the teacher showed to us-ATTITUDE.The better attitude you have,the greater competitive you will be!Afterall,IQ let you get the job,but EQ makes you promote.

B. What do you think of this performance?
I have never seen this kind of performance before and I think it is cool to utilize vision effect combining the sound,expressing the idea that they want people to know,to care about. In my opinion,it conveys an issue-GLOBAL WARMING,which is resulted from human that produce a lot of exhaust,such as vehicle exhaust,factory exhaust,etc.polluting our earth.
Part II About global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I think if a person who has an international sense,no discrimination(ethnic,religion,gender......)to others and realize how to respect our natural as our own mother can be a global citizen.Besides,a global citizen who does things not only considers his/herself interest but also for social interest and makes our world get better and better.
B. How can you become a better global citizen?
I can do something around me first,for example,classifying the trash,taking the public transportation more often to cut down the use of resources and lower the exhaust pollution.If your abilities permitted donate something useful to the needy.Although,everyone can do is limited,the more people distribute,the large the power will be!

The Kite Runner

I have bought this book for a few month,but until today I finish it.
Actually,I don't like Mid-East literature very much because it is so real,violent,full of blood,and something bad like rape happen all the time that I feel uncomfotable.That is why I postponed to read it ,although I listened to my friend's recommendation to buy this book.
When I read the book,I can imagine that two boys play together,having a good time in their childhood until the tragedy happened to the character's friend because of the character 's jealousy and desire to his dad's love and a series of war broke out.
The regret became the part of character's life,although he thought the memory would flow away by the time.He didn't know that it influenced all his world.At the end this regret brought him back to his hometown to make expiation for his guilt and also get the explanation to everything.
Isn't it a kind of age and cultural tragedy?

Revise My CEEP

I think my CEF level is between B1 and B2. My aspect of listening is weaker maybe because we don't have that environment and English is not our mother tongue.And about reading we have do a lot of practice before,even now,so I think it's much better than listening.
Revise my CEEP:
1.Listening to the magazine(CNN and Newsweek) that I have subscribed to by the schedule.
2.Having a notebook to write down the words or phrases that I don't know ,make a sentence to them to help me know how to use,then,memorize it.
3Join the English Corner to have more practice with others.
