American Food and Chinese Food

Before I came to the U.S., I already knew something about the American food because we can see KFC, McDonald's everywhere. Since every kind of food has the similar features, the differences between american food and chinese food are so obvious that can not be ignored.


The top three differences are as followings: the way we cook, the main food, and the sauce. In china we cook the vegetables, but americans always eat the vegetables directly as vegetables salad. In addition, the main foods for us are rice and noodles, with some dishes for every meal. The main foods for americans are hamburgers, salad and pizza. However, for me, i consider these kinds of food as snacks. Furthermore, in amercia we can buy all kinds of sauce already down when we cook our daily food. Even though we have a lot of sauce also, we lacks the big bottle of ketchup, barbecue sauce, and so on.

When i was in china, i liked the burger in KFC and McDonald's, but after i came here i found the burger is different from that of in china. I am nor sure that it is the food reason i got many weights, anyway, i already took some actions such as lowering intake dose of the fast food, eating little fried food and candies. Hope i can be recognized when i come back!

Optimistic Attitude

There are a lots of famous quotes encourage people to be optimistic whenever we have bad emotions such as sad, disappointed, frustrated, and so on. In my view, most of people want to keep an optimistic attitude because we can caught the opportunity if have an optimistic attitude. As the quote said "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill", it is obvious that optimistic attitude is beneficial for us.

I started to write down the beautiful sentences from all kinds of readings which can optimistically encourage me when I was in middle school. At that time, when the bad things made me unconfident, I liked to read those sentences agian and agian. However, I stopped to repeat this kind of behavior after I graduated from the univertity. Still, I think that I aready thoroughly understood and took in the positive side of everything, even the worst thing happen.

I consider myself as an optimist because I believe that after rain comes the sunshine. Our life is short, we should grasp every possible opportunity not see the impossible difficulty in every opportunity. Also, there is another sentence I love most which is "I believe I can fly, I can touch the sky"

My Friend and Me

When people talk about the friends, most of them believe that only if a group of people have major features in common such as the similar perspectives, hobbies, and valuable view, they can become the friends with others. Nevertheless, it is the distinct differences between my best friend Yan and I that make us the best friends. The primary diffenrences between us is in the three areas: communciation ways, hobbies, food.

Communciaton ways perhaps the first difference between us. Yan is adep at communciating with others. Whatever people she meets, she knows or does not know, she can keep talking with them, and make the atmosphere warmly. In contrast, I only have a lots to talk with people who I know, but for the people I first meet, I always in a passive talking ways and even feel shame. Therefore, I always want she to company with me to go all kinds of parties.

A second difference is some hobbies. She really like dancing, whenever she heard music, she can immediately dance without mind people's view. In addition, she likes reading poem, even she always creats her own style poem. Unlike her, I like lisening music, singing songs, and surfering in internet. Therefore, when we have spare time, I listened music while she was dancing. Also I am the first reader of her poem and invite her to watch moives in internet.

Finally, perhaps the most striking difference between us is food. She does not eat pork, beef, checken, and many other meat. However, I eat what she does not like. What strange is that we all like fish so much, and we always go to restaurant together and have much fun in eating!

In conclusion, altough we hava a lots personalities the same as each other, we still have some differences such as communication, hobbies, and food. However, our solid relationship may due to both the similiarities and differences. As the Chinese New Year is coming, I miss her and others so much!!!

If I Can Talk to the Animals

I believe that animals have their own language and that a little few people even can understand the language of animals. People always try to talk with animals, for example, people give the cute name to their pets, ask them to eat, to parking, and walk their pets. Another obvious example is the performing animal, no matter what language we used to communicate with them, gesture language or oral language, we do realize that we can talk to animals.

I like small animals such as cats, poppes, birds, and so on. However, I am very scared of the big animals like big dogs. If I can talk to the animals, I would like to ask them a series of questions as following: Do you like to be along with humans beings? What do you always talk with your friends? What does your world like, like humans' or not?

In addition, because I am scared of big animals, if I can talk to the animals, I would like to let them know that I am a kind-hearted people and will never hurt them. If they could understand me, I think we could be the friends and I will not afraid of them any more.

My Favorite Song

One of my hobby is listen to music if i have spare time whenever i feel sad or happy. I love chinese songs as the same as english songs, which i must listen now for practicing my listening skills in the United State. My favorite english song must be "My Heart Will Go On", which is the theme song of the famous classical movie Titanic.



The first time i heard this song is when i was in my first year of high school. At that time, i just thought it was beautiful and a little bit easy for me to following the meaning. It was not become the most important song to me until one of my classmate sang it in our celebration of first semester. Her performance was so wonderful that we were all attracted by not only her voice but also the song. After her finished, all the students followed her involuntarily. That night, we repeated the song for many times. Finally this song became the main song of our class.



Whenever I heard this song, it reminds me of my happy life in high school and many of my classmates at that time. Even though we are become adults now, we always sing this song when we meet again. How wonderful this song is!

Weather

The weather in South California is different from that in my hometown because here there are only summer and fall season, but in my hometown the weather is normal which comprise spring, summer, fall, and winter. For me, I like the pleasant weather, fall and spring, in which seasons the weather is neither cold nor hot.

Currently, the season in my hometow is winter, and sometimes there is heavy snow. I did not see any snow here, so I am a little bit miss the snow in my country. Although the weather in winter is cold, our heater system is good that we have heater everywhere, our home, school, restaurant, shopping mall...However, I prefer the spring here because i do not need to wear the big warm clothing even when I go out.

The reason I like fall is that sometimes i look farword to the continuous fall rain. In that kind of weather, i like to sleep all day because the sky is drak, the outside is a little cold. I can close door, open the heater, turn off my lights, sleep in the bed, and enjoy the movie. So wonderful time for me to relax myself.
