MOVIES---- your favourite


Movies really have along history among us. I still remember that I saw the style of old movies on TV. It was so funny. One person should roll the films. When he rolled it quickly, the people on the screen will move quick. If he rolled it slowly, the people will act like a cat doing anything very slowly. In fact, I have never saw this kind of movies before. The oldest one I saw maybe the non color one, which just have two colors, black and white.
In China,we have some traditional movies, and one of them was called PiYing Xi. The images in the film are made of fur of animals, and then we need a white background, some lights. In fact, we performance it just using the shadow of these images and act them on the white background. In old times of China, it was just a kind of entertainment to attract children for fun.
Today, the movies are popular among all ages of people. It is a romantic way for boyfriend and girl friend. It is for couples to be in memory of their anniversary of wedding. It is for children to learn some knowledge. It is for tired people to relax and have a rest to enjoy life. Movies influence our everyday life and it have a great impact among all the people now. People now could not live without movies

Bush plans visit to southern Indiana on Tuesday


WASHINGTON -- President Bush is traveling to New Albany, Ind., on Tuesday to talk about the federal budget, the White House announced today.
Bush has criticized the Democrat-controlled Congress for not sending him the annual spending bills on time. He has threatened to veto most of them.
The president plans to speak at the Grand, a convention and banquet center, at 1:15 p.m. Tuesday.
No other details about his trip were immediately available.
The reason that I choose this news is not related to any polities things. It is just because that I find although different country has their own political policies, the status of presidents are all important in every country. Nearly all the countries or just a small organizations all need a leader to operate masses of matters every day. Presidents always may be thought that they are the different people from others and they are one of the most important persons in the life.
In China, the preseident is hardly saw ih their life. Just in some ceremonies or summits we could see them on TV. And most of time they wear a tidy suit with tie and do the same gestures to express their prepared presentation or speech. They are totally different from others. They have masses of matters every day and so many events need them to deal with. In the USA, maybe the presidents are more often seen in life. They hope to give their residents an impression that they are one of you.

of mice and men


Coming to American for more than two months, but during that time I really read so few books, just
"of mice and men" which is the
homework of reading class. However this time is the different, because in China I read some English novel, however, it had the Chinese lines beside. So sometime I was so lazy that just saw the Chinese lines and it could not practise my English skill.
"of mice and men" is a very good novel which describe a life in the old times when people have different valid level between each other and most of the poor led a very difficult life at that time. This novel does not express this kind of feeling so valid, however, it uses a very clever way to express it. The writer creates two common worker working in the ranch and they are different because they have a great future plan for themselves. They are different from the other workers who just work hard for their bosses everyday and have no freedom.
There are a lot of interesting characters in the novel and most of them are nice guys, like Slim who has a very good personality, Candy who owns an old dog and he loves him very much, Lennie who has a mentally disease, however, he has a warm heart and he loves mice so much, George is a short guy with bad temper and has a good planning for himself and so on.
The writer writes a lot of stories happening between them. Although sometime they have fun with each other; however, they are no happy in fact. So we could imagine that their dream of future really is hard to come true under the terrible society at that time.
It is a cool book, even though i have not finished yet.
