What Kind Of Personality?!(BLOG#6)

---

     If I love you, I will write you a poem or sing a pretty song for you. If I treasure you, I will never mean to give my praise to you, because I am proud of you.

     I am a kind of girl, soft, gentle and of course very sensitive. I have this kind of belief never hurting others. I use all my strength to treasure my words to care about others' attitude. I know if I get hurt, I will not easily get recovered. So I am so careful every moment, because I know I am not a good communicator here. I cannot stand bravely in front of others; I cannot laugh by nature like the wind blowing in the dusk. I cannot easily find a topic to make my circumstance safe and warm. I cannot become the best, or become the winner let the whole world love me.

     So I treasure you so much. You are my friend, my confidant, my sister, and even my family. I tried to open my mind and let you long live in my heart field. I wanted to share the happiness and glory with you every moment. But unfortunately, we have the opposite personalities. Every time the word and the behavior made by you hurt me strongly, I could feel my tears nearly rush out of my eyes. I know perhaps it is not your fault, because you never mean to heart. In turn, you can say I am a very vulnerable girl. This world will never accept a girl without a hard heart like stone. I really don't want to hurt others, because I want a gentle treatment by the world. You never mind hurt others, because you are not afraid of wounds.

     So who did wrong? NO ONE! But I really feel crazy. I do not know what to do. I am not a kind of girl to have enough encouragement to burn out to spread my anger. The only way is to look for a corner, hide and disappear. I keep persuading myself to defeat my week personality and become so strong, so strong that minds nothing. But I cannot. I am still the little girl, who is always angry with myself, cannot bear and always cries. I really want to have a strong conflict with the whole world, to shout and to cry. After that, everything is peaceful. I can speak out leave wherever you like! 

Carbon Footprint:# Blog 5

     IT is really very amazing for me to get a 17 of my average carbon footprint (I nearly suspect I got a wrong result). I never imagine that how I can get a so high overall without a vehicle.

     My own word to describe carbon footprint is the amount of Co2 we make every from activity we do every day. The purpose to make this test is to remind people how much carbons we make every day, and try to encourage people reduce their carbon footprint from the daily life.

     After this test, I have a strong inside idea that there is a great difference between “always” and “sometimes”. The power of a good habit is strong. Unless the long flight from my country to the USA, or the lights I took this year, I get my very high result because of the “sometimes” occasional activity. I do not exist a good habit to do recycle. I used to think I am a person who does enough for the environment, but it seems it is the absolutely wrong.

     I think one area I can improve myself is to take shorter shower. Because I know it is really difficult for me to control the temperature of my shower. I cannot bear the cold water. So the only way to keep the carbon is to reduce the time. Then, I think I should begin to have the conscious of recycle. I used to think it is very complex. But now I begin to understand it is necessary.

     Thanks to this little test, it helps me know that I did not do well in many aspects. It really gave me a lot to understand the necessaries to protect the environment. Only in this way, can we live a better life.

Tutor~~~~~~(BLOG#4)

Telling the truth I really don’t like to scan the website of the library. Since I feel so sorry about my reading ability, I nearly never expect to read so official words before. So I never found that the tutor page was that great.

There are the three most important things I treat in a research process.

1.       The purpose and the audience. Only you clear the purpose and the audience can I make a clear direction of my search? I have to identify our purpose and our audience out of the crowd to make the right deep search we are going to aim at.

2.      The information gap. I have already met some situations that I have to search for a topic I am not familiar with, like a debating competition. Overcoming the information gap helps me find my focus. I should accomplish it in a board scale or light it in a small detail.

3.       Summary. After collecting lots of information, I have to do a summary of which should be concentrated and which should be throw, and how can I use the information to compose the main points I really want.

There are three things I am familiar with

1.       Plagiarizing is never admitted. If I do some plagiarizing, I will get a big red zero on my essay.

2.      Library is a good place to search for information, and the library information system contains a sea of information.

3.      I can just use copy and paste the contact of the published essay.

There are three things I did not know before.

1.       I did not know that through an online database system, I can read the whole article whatever I like. Because it is forbidden in our country to put out a whole academic article. I have to go the professional internet and pay for it.

2.      I did not know exactly what a journal was.

3.      I did not know we use the type button to easily find out the information I am looking forward.

It is a useful journey for me to study how to use the tutor to help me get the information.

 Appreciate so much!

Amazing forests(assignment #3)

I am stand in a kingdom, a big silent kingdom hidden in the huge trees.

All the sceneries are green, green leaves, green trees, green grass, and green water. Sky is hidden under the ancient silent trees, and only the shadow of the sunshine leaves here and there. Don’t shout! The wind is flowing over your ears, and varies of insects are crying with lazy voices. Birds are flying over the sky, and eagles in south Florida are gliding. The smell of the grass is a little sour. The mysterious smell with the wet air comes towards to my nose, and my nose is a little itchy. Foggy droplets hit my hairs softly as my mother’s gender hands. Frogs are shouting in the pond, which is also the family of the big alligators.

There are lizards crawling around near my feet with their shaking long tail. They are dark green and small. Unlike the giant lizards, they are very agile. They are smart, quick, and active so that you never have a chance to stop them and have a clear observation of them. Ants are almost everywhere. The hole, their family is in a pile of golden yellow sands. With an obvious dark brown color, the ant’s hole is full of busy labors. The ants are busy drilling out and drilling in with their foods (I suppose). When I put my foot in front of the ants, they will notice it and change their directions. It seems they never take a break, and busy for their lives all day long.

It is our campus, our peaceful but splendid campus. Every member in the forest is busy looking for their track. It is our campus, silent but forever that vivid. I really love it so much.

The Differences Between Daily language And Written Language

Many different kinds of languages are to be used in different circumstances. And then many differences exist. So after writing the letter to m friends and the report of the newspaper, I find there are several differences between daily language and written language.


When I wrote to your best friend, I was relaxed. I did not pay much attention to the contact I was writing. I just picked up some interesting trivia to let him know my daily lives. I wrote what I wanted to express in any way. Orders were forgotten. The only thing I wanted to tell him was my emotion, sometimes upset and sometimes really excited. On the contrary, I did not feel free when I wrote my article to the eagle newspaper. I had to pay attention to the audience here. I should introduce my living conditions to them who are not familiar with my life. I have to focus on my language, let it become formal and rigorous. I tried several times to compose my thought and put them into a better understanding way.

So, it is obvious I like write letters to my friend.

Well, the first time I wrote the letter to my friend, I wrote in Chinese. I like this kind of language. And I like to write in Chinese. Also, there is a great difference between the system of Chinese and English. Absolutely, I was more familiar with Chinese. So when I wrote in Chinese, I felt pleased, relaxed and even safe. So when I wrote in English I had to translate my thought into another kind of language. I have to change both the language and the way of thinking. Chinese is beautiful. But the English is direct. Results should be put on directly. And the reasons should be written coherent. But a Chinese man thinks this method may be too angular.

So I get my weakness here. There are two main weaknesses for me to overcome. The first is I have to change my thought method. I have to acquire the explicit and direct way to clarify the matters. And the second is I have to acquire a large amount of words. These feathers can make the body more beautiful.

Lives are not like the poem. Sometimes it is like a thesis. We have to search the keys and seize them. That must be the purpose of life. If I can truly realize that sometimes, I will be the winner.

Wow, it’s Jo

Hi, guys. I am Yang Zhou, a girl from China. My Chinese name may be very difficult to distinguish. But if you dry to change it into “Young Jo”, well you get right.


My hometown is in the northeast of China, nearly 58 degrees north latitude. With the location, the city has a various climate. In the winter, Outdoor temperature will reach -35℃. Rivers will be frozen. Fisherman usually dig holes on the river to catch the sleeping fishes. Well, I was born in a early spring, when fisherman cannot catch sleeping fish. :) I was born in a small but peaceful family. My parents gave me lot of love so that I experienced a so Sweet childhood. At that time, I played, laughed and grew fast.

When I became a teenager, I began to hold my American dream. In my little world, the USA is a distant country, where every girl has a golden long hair, every boy is a sport genius, and the old have their own pet dog. I believe that the developed country has its unique style, with independence, freedom and peace. And my dream became a truth when I was 20. The same spring, I could get the opportunity to step on the land used to appear in my dream.

The trip to America was not smooth. It was even could be treated as an adventure. We missed our flight from Chicago to Fort Myers. The security check officer ordered to go though the security Door time and time again. I almost cried by that situation. But I think there is nobody for me to blame. It really shows a great attitude of the native American. They are rigorous, sensible and more responsible. It is not easy.

This is my first time to go abroad. The scenery of Florida is out of my imagination. And the learning attitude of American students is also out of my imagination. There are also quiet lots of problems remaining for me to solve. Anyway, I am here. I am Jo, a girl from China, with the black hair and the black eyes. I just would like say, America, I am here.
