英文部分文稿
1.Like always, Luo Yufeng can make the Internet explode whichever way she wants. The once controversial online celebrity, commonly known as Sister Feng(means sister phoenix), or Feng Jie, came back to publicity as she opened up to the Chinese version of New York Times about her life in New York as a nail salon worker.
Luo was one of the interviewees who revealed their harsh, racist, and health-harming working conditions as part of the newspaper's investigating report on the dark side of the sprawling nail salons in New York.
2.I think most people began to know sister feng in year 2009 due to her excessive requirements to her future boyfriend and husband, For example, she specified that such boyfriend "must be an elite with a degree in economics or similar from Peking University or Tsinghua University" and "must also be 176 to 183 centimeters tall and good looking." At that time, she was working as a cashier at a Carrefour in Shanghai, though she claimed she "works for a Fortune 500 company" (Carrefour ranked 25th on the 2009 Fortune Global 500 list).
Luo's penchant for outrageous comments continued to bring her attention. For example, she "called herself the brightest human being in the past three centuries, and added that she would remain the smartest person for the next 300 years."
3.So what I want to say is don’t spend too much time to judge other people’s life, it’s none of your business, even sister feng is earning a better life and getting closer to her dream while you are sitting in front of the computer typing some mean and boring comments which worth noting.
4.Actually it was two things make me want to use the traditional correspondence as a part of today’s topic. One is that few days ago I received a letter from one of my best friends, and it was one of my few experiences of receiving letters, and after a long time using SNS like wechat and qq to communicate, it’s hard to describe the feeling when you just received a letter from someone, and once you open the envelope and read every carefully written word carefully, you’ll find that all the waiting is worth it. And the other thing is actually an article from china daily and the title is is the era of handwritten ending? And it’s a story about a mailwoman zhao mingcui who lives in shiquan, a mountainous county in northwest china’s shanxi proviece, and recorded her daily routine of being a mailwoman. And it’s hard to imagine that how important a letter is to a rural resident, and how significant the traditional correspondence is to us.
5.So ask yourself When is your last time sending a handwriting letter to your friends or family? I think to many people it must be long time ago, but Simon believe that just like E-book can’t replace the traditional paper book, handwriting letter will also not be replaced. It’s a unique experience for both sender and receiver. And we need to treasure this special way of communication since it has been using less and less.
6.So the last part is about razzies the colden raspberry awards,
The Golden Raspberry Awards, often shortened to the Razzies, is an award ceremony in recognition of the worst in film. Founded by American copywriter and publicist John J. B. Wilson in 1980, the annual Razzie Awards ceremony in Los Angeles precedes the corresponding Academy Awards ceremony by one day. The term raspberry in the name is used in its irreverent sense, as in "blowing a raspberry". The awards themselves are in the form of a "golfball-sized raspberry" which sits atop a Super 8 mm film reel, the whole of which is spray painted gold.
The first Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony was held on March 31, 1981, at John J. B. Wilson's living room alcove in Los Angeles to honor the worst in film of the 1980 film season. The latest 35th ceremony was held on February 21, 2015.
7.Not surprising that Most winners do not attend the ceremony to collect their awards. Notable exceptions include Tom Green (Worst Actor/Worst Director), Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock (Worst Actress), Michael Ferris, Joe Eszterhas (Worst Screenplay), and Paul Verhoeven (Worst Director).
