Journal 18: Goodbye

I learned a lot in this semester, especially in reading and writing. I think the blog helps my writng speed a lot. Last semester, I always took a long time to write an essay. I need to think about my ideas, the strictures, and the grammar. But, now, I can freely write what I am thinking. Maybe sometimes, i still have some grammar problems, but I have improved a lot. However, there is a lot of work I need to work on, like vocabularies and spelling. The words i can use in my essays are limited, and I alway use the same vocabularies. Moreover, I often make a mistake in spelling. It is obvious that I should study on my vocbularies.

To my dear classmates:

I am so lucky to have you guys. Thank you guys. I really have a great time with you in ALP, especially in composition class. Next semester, i won't be here. I will go to L.A downtown to study GMAT in Kaplan. Good luck to me and good luck to you. Take care everyone and keep in touch in facebook. ^^

Journal 17: Reaction to film

*I lost my note-taking papers, so I will try my best to use my super bad memory to writ it down.

For me, the most attracted scene was the city during the whole movie. There was a view that was taken in the middle of the road among many business tall buildings, and there were a lot of people walking across the streets, and many cars driving on the roads. The views was playing in fast speed, and people and vehicle stopped and moved by following the traffic lights turning on green, yellow, and red. 

For me, it is a very interesting scene. It reminds me that some people living in the city are forced to follow the quick tempo. People often forget to stop or take a deep breath when they are concentrated on moving forward. People stop when they are forced to stop by interruptions like the traffic lights. I was laughing when I saw everything is moving very fast. After awhile I felt bored, and this feeling became sad. I felt that human are pathetic. Is this the way we are living everyday? I cannot feel any positive attitude or any hope in this scene. I am pretty sure this scene is not what I want in the future. Hopefully, we can do whatever we want to be.
