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.

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.
