My Feeing Toward "The Little Prince"

My feeling toward "The Little Prince" In the short novel "The Little Prince", I think it lacks in length is made up in its tenderness. In the beginning of the story, the little prince left the beautiful yet annoying rose he planned. Little did he know, while the rose was trying to be strong and dominant, she was subordinate to the prince's love and attention. If the prince didn't meet the fox on one of the planet he traveled to, he might never knew the reasons behind the rose's action. Sadly, by then, it was already a little too late to return. The story is presented in a children’s story, yet it reflects problems and emotions that occur in the adult world . Anyone of us can be, has been, or will be the little prince, going through the same turmoil. Seeing how the misunderstanding occurred due to the lack of communication between the prince and the rose, I have greater sense of how important communication is in our world. Luckily, if we listen to others carefully, like the way the prince did with the fox, we can conquer all sorts of confusion and problems in life. Last but not least, the most valuable thing I learned from reading "The Little Prince” is that we should care for the ones around us before it’s too late. I believe that "Listening is a art of society ." I think sometimes we can learn something from this book. And I think that the little prince has love and attention. It is valuable in this world. However, this book can inspire me. Although its paragraph is short, it is a meaningful novel. I really enjoy reading English novel. I think it is not onlny can improve my English writing skill, but also can learn some inspiration from reading novel.

My Feeing After I Saw The Movie "Pride and Prejudice"

After class ,I went to library to see "Pride and Prejudice". I was very exciteing because that I had been a half of the movie in class.And following is my discription about this movie. Talking about the five daughters of the benette familly who are looking forward to be able to unite by marriage with rich and prestigious families under mother's arrangement.Then, in a ball Jane, the eldest daughther fall in love with their new neighbor Mr Bingly at first sight; However Elizabeth the second daughther is biased at Mr Bingly 's friend Darcy 's arrogance. Later on, because of Bingly's leaving and Wickham's frame up, Elizabeth has even enhanced her prestigeness. Darcy proposed to Elizabeth but has been refused which frustrated his arrogance, therefore he has to reveal the truth by writting a letter. Elizabeth finally understood Wickham and feels ashamed/disgraced for early misunderstanding. Elizabeth's little syster Lydia went away with by falling to his lies, because of Darcy's tremendous help by lowering his profile, Elizabeth started to have feelings for him. Also due to Darcy 's assistance Bingly and Jane finally found a way in their love by marrying each other. The story ends up with Darcy and Elizabeth having a wonderfull marriage at last.

I read a post about English writing

After I read the post about common mistakes for writing . I thought I always make the same mistake again and again. Sometime I post some article on my blog wtih wrong English grammer as well as use the wrong English words.In addition,I often put "and"and"but" in the beginning of the sentence. However, I believe that if I keep practicing English writing, my English ability will be improved. Well goes the saying,"Those who sow in tear, will reap with sounds of joy."

I Got a Cold >"<

I think I was get up with wrong side today. I lose my two whole-new textbook.(They cost $2000). Besides, I had a very serious cold. I felt tired, and I couldn't listen what teacher said carefully. I just want to sleep. Therefore, I fell asleep in front of teacher(I sitted the seat which very close teacher.) I sleep two hours until my classmate waked me up.When I was finished all of my subject today. I wanted to see the doctor, but there are so many people in the bus station.I thought that I should wait for a long time to get on the bus to hospital. I really felt worse and my headache became more serious. How upset Ifelt. I told to myself,"Chear Up Sophia, I think yuo can handle these things well."When I got the phonecall from my father, my father encouagedme, I feel more better . Today is a special day for me>"<~But I have confidence myself. I must not be dedeat by the flu. I can do every thing well, even though I was in "the raining day ."

Technology For Me

The biggest convenience that technology has brought into my life is the ability to talk with friends on the Internet. For me, the best part about chatting online is that I don't have to worry about a costly bill at the end of the month like I do with a cell phone. In additon,I can learn English from the Internet reasource.I attend the computer-assisted language learning course.And use the method to implove my English ability.However, this same technology can become a vehicle for crime if certain people-kidnappers, for example-use it in the wrong way. On the whole, technology has affected our lifestyle in many ways. Twenty years ago, most mothers washed clothing by hand. Now washing machines are widely available, making this unnecessary. Before the invention of the MP3, you had to carry a heavy CD player with you if you wanted to listen to music outside of your home. Now a tiny MP3 player allows you to listen to music all the time, wherever you go.
