Assignment #8 News
hi everyone~
This week I learned a great website : http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/  
Just see the video on youtube first

It is a great way to learn English. You can practice vocabulary, listening , accent at the same time.
And you can also know about the news. You can learn the most useful vocabulary and phrase because it is "news". The hosts is very humor too so it is fun for me to watch this video. Due to this is BBC, British English is a little different between American English. It a little difficult to me. But I think it is a great way to practice my English. 

And I'm sure that Star Wars can be a "cash cow" for Disney.

Assignment #7 The key to success

Assignment #7 The key to success

After I listening to Angela’s talk,I am agree with her talk.It is really hard to keep working hard unless your "Grit" is strong enough. Just like Angela said:The grit is not for a day, a week, a month... its for years." I think the hardest thing is "Do it right now." Not just saying.Just do it and remember the"Grit."

lyrics:

Gray hair

Glasses
Suitcase
Humble
Clever
And constantly working for peace
Uganda
Congo
And the Oslo treaty plan
Oh my God, what a plan
Not as famous as Gahr Stare
Not a daddy's boy like Jens
But when handgrenades are flying
There's just one man you can trust
When there's war and all is hell
Send in Jan Egeland!
The United Nations superhero man
Mad dictator with a gun
Send in Jan Egeland
Oh, how I wish..
I was Jan Egeland..
Blue eyes
Firm hands
Nice legs
Clean shaved
Body
Drinking his protein shakes
Spray-tan
Skin cream
And buttocks like he was eighteen
He's a peacekeeping machine..
And he stares into the mirror
Flexing muscles in the night
And he says: "Boy, I think you're ready..
..to protect some human rights"
When there's war and all is hell
Bring in Jan Egeland!
The United Nations superhero man
He plays golf with Kofi Annan
And looks at maps with George Cloon
Oh, how I wish..
That I was Jan Egeland!
Egeland (Egeland)
Egeland (Egeland)
When he's sad he goes to funerals
In unusually heavy rain
Large amounts of water in his face
But that doesn't hide his pain
He breaks down just like ha homo
And starts crying just like a girl
But I guess you can cry and still be a man
If your day job is saving the world!
When there's war and all is hell
Send in Jan Egeland!
He's a macho musclepumping..
Crying god!
If there's one man you should trust
It is the Janny-boy
Oh, how I wish..
That I was Jan Egeland!

Assignment #5
Have you used Google syntax before? Do you think it’s helpful? How do you like it?
I have learned Google syntax when I was a senior high school student. I think it's not very convenient. Because used the Google syntax must to remember the syntax like:  site:  intitle:  + - [ ] { }...or something like that. I am TOO lazy TO remember the meaning of those syntax. All of the syntax I can only remember is this one:   " "  Ha ha ha ha^ ^

Assignment #4 My notes on episode 1150
(1)change the subject
     stop talking the topic you don't want to talk about and change something else to talk.
(2)love life
     The area of a person’s life concerning their relationships with lovers.
(3)settle down
     Adopt a more steady or secure style of life, especially in a permanent job and home.
(4)none of your business
    Just don't ask....  
※What’s your opinion on avoiding topics in conversation?
I think everyone has some personal things that don't want to let everybody know. Just like a personal top secret. So I think don't ask to much or you will become a very Annoying Guy. It is very important to listening too. Do not just keep talking about your things , sometimes it is good to be a "listener". Do you want to be a charmer? Remember one important things : Silence is golden.
