CONGRATULATION TO MESELF!

It's a perfect night this night. I am writing to show my excitation and happiness caused by my pass of the two courses-Taxation Laws and Financial Management and Cost Management-of the CPA, which exceed my expectation. Now, I don't know what to do appropriately but keep laughing and laughing accompanied with my heart beating more quickly. Thank God! Thank you everyone who I love and who loves me.

POOL NIGHT!

Today, I went to attend a club of "pool night" after finishing my own classes in DWL center. I am very proud of the champion I got in the ranking match and I love the awarding-a CD of Eminem -as well just because I am pretty excited with my victory rather than his songs.

Besides of these happiness, I also learned many useful idioms about pool as follows:
shot 击球;break 开球;set it up (set your object ball closer to the pocket and easier for the next time)

Noname

I am writing to express my existence right now. I don't know what to do and I don't want to go to bed either. Maybe what I am doing now is that I am thinking what I should to do. haha..... Night is always full of mystery as it can silence you and make you think a lot of things, no matter useful or unuseful.

the first snow in this winter

The first snow of this winter came a little earlier than the past few years, although it just lasted for an hour and was small. While I was jogging in this snow, I didn't felt cold at all. I was full of excitation as it was the first time I saw snow in Beijing from five years ago when I went to Wuhan province for my college study.

Well, you must have guessed that I have a deep affection with snow as well as winter.When I was a child, what I usually did in winter was to have a snowball fight with my classmates and to skate with my dad, which left me a happy and memorable childhood.

As we all know, our earth is getting warmer and warmer in a result of the global warming. In turn, our snow is sharply less than before. So I think the snow is increasingly precious in spite of the problems it brings to us(e.g. transportation problem).

Dec.1st

It's a no-brainer!(太简单了!)

I'm on the fence.(保持中立)

sth is a little over my head.= I can't understand sth= I am completely in the dark about sth

Let's all give 110%. (Let's all do or give more than required.)

men are in the majority and women are in the minority.

Lakers blow out Toronto Raptors.(L beats T with a large scoring gap.)

out of my hair(I can no longer be annoyed by someone or sth)

There is a generation gap between...

root out (find), blustery(windy), vis a vis (in regard to ), overhaul (a very big change, for example, my computer doesn't work completely. I can say "I should have my computer overhauled.)

I'm yours

I "stole" a music from Jason. The name of the music is "I'm yours", sang by Jason Mraz. I fell in love with it when I heard it the first time and I recommend it to you guys cause it can not be nice any more. It has a lively rhythm and the lyric is beautiful and neat as well. Unfortunately, I am not able to put it on my blog. What a shame!

should we give money to the beggars?

Today we debated on the pros and cons about the topic: should we give money to the beggars?

Pros:
-those people who is homeless, having no friends or family, destitute, disabled or jobless can support their life by using even a little money;
-reduce the criminal rate and keep the society stable;
-the existing welfare of our government is not completed enough to cover all of the people;
-providing you were the beggar, wouldn't you like others to give you money, even a piece of bread after a hunger having lasted for two days?
-to say the least, you will not be affected any way by losing such little money. But there existing the probability that such little money can change the beggar's life. If some of them can contribute to our country in the future, your money is much value added.

Cons:
-give such beggars the illusion that "No pain, still gain.", if such kind of behaviour were supported by us, there will be more and more people to quit job to beg. Perhaps they think they will earn more money like this;
-we can't tell who is the cheating and who is the real beggars;
-there is story about "fish and fishing" we can use to support this point. That is to say we should teach them to earn by working rather than give them money directly.

In my real life, I rarely give money to them. Definitely, they need help and we have the responsibility to help them. But I will help them in another way. Because I think it is not very easy to earn money, especially in such a tough time, the right money should be devoted on the right place. Perhaps I will subsidize one or two non-school children just because of lack of money.

Nov.25th

Today is a boring day without anything new happened. As always, I spent the whole afternoon on studying English in DWL center. Now, let me write some useful words and sentences I learned today with you:

1.Tell me about it! (whenever you agree with sth totally, you can say ~.)

2. when you are citing information, there are several ways you can do it, as follows:
Studies show...
There have been reports...
People claim that...
There has been evidence...
Supporters believe...

3. idle hands are the devils playground (used to describe somebody who have to find sth to be busy doing, otherwise he/she will feel boring)

4. a faraway look in her eye (Providing someone is looking far and seems like thinking sth, you can say~)

5. racist/sexist, (basically, some words ending with a "-ist" will probably be the person hate it. for instance, I don't like women because I am a sexist.)

6. You are making a mountain out of a molehill! (it is a good way to say somebody who is too picky)

By the way, I will simplify the title by using the date if I don't have much new news except for the English learning.

Hello, everyone.

Hello, everyone. It's a lovely day today. I am planning to blog from now. Like my blog's title showed, my goal is to think in english. What I will write is not such important as I think just writing is what I should keep. I hope that I can share my daily life and learning experience with you. So I do appreciate your reading and correcting. Don't grudge your opinion and let's make progress together.
