Actually, I got my first cellphone at the age of 17. When I was spending my second year of the high school life, my father gave it to me as a birthday gift. You know, I believed that I was lucky enough. Cuz not a lot of students, like me, could be given a special cellphone. I still remember that day when my father took me to the city center and chose a better phone. We got on the public minibus then headed to the cellphone center, where was full of cellphones from different foreign brands or countries. It was a very ordinary one at that time. Today I don't consider it quite expensive, like 15 hundreds or something. Honestly, I thought that it seemed like a big fortune several years ago. You know, I couldn't find enough wonderful functions on it. It only could play the music, make some short videos, text messages and make phone calls. However, I loved it so much. You know, I could have a total different life after having it, my parents could find me anytime, anywhere. It was quite excited for sure. So, I still remember such a spacial experience. That is it.
Mention about the topic, I think this method has got to do something with my mobile phone. You know, today, I couldn't live without the help of my mobile phone, personally, I can do lots of things with it. Like download some short videos, watch some short movies or listen to some music.You know, 99% of my freedom is occupied by these stuff. When I have made up my mind to stay focused on my work or study, I need to get rid of using my phone, the best way to do so is putting it in my office or dormitory for a certain period of time in a day, like 4 hours for example. Then I would try to pay attention to what I am planning to do on work or study. In the meantime, the core is that I have to keep that habit almost every day. So, I need to find someone who can supervise me, that would be more efficient I might say. So, that is my strategy. That is it.
Mention about the topic, a special bike which has been with me for years comes to my mind. A couple of years ago, my grandpa bought a bicycle for me as I needed to spend some time on the way to school, actually, there is no specific reasons. My grandpa loves me so much. He got to know that I am a cycling lover. Apparently, he spent 2000 at a time, just gave me this special gift. It could take me to anywhere on the weekends or at the weekdays. Ironically, I lost it somewhere on my campus in autumn, I didn't know how it happened. I just put it in my school as usual, but the other day, I couldn't find it after my school time. I tried to look for it every corner of my school campus. I kept doing this for a couple of times, but I failed. You know, I was like very sad about it, cuz it means a lot to me. What I am trying to say is that I don't care it is a very expensive one, however it is from my grandpa. So, this is what I`d like to talk about. That is it.
I would say that a skill that took me a long time to master is digital designing , like the photoshop for example. I've had a passion for art since my childhood, and after my father bought me a laptop, I started trying to find a way to express my passion with that tool. I remember that the first app I used was the one called "meituxiuxiu". I know that we all used it at some point, but I spent quite some time on it really. I knew that I need to do something more to it. After my hours of school, I went to a class which provided guidance To be honest, I didn't imagine that it would be so hard to learn. I went to that class for three months, and even after then I still had the feeling that there was more to it. Eventually, I have gained some abilities on the field, and I was able to finish certain work. In the process, I bought several books and tried everything that was explained in those. Today I am still learning, as technology is constantly improving, but I can proudly say that I know most of the content of that. That is it.
I would like to talk about a time when a couple of friends and I decided to go on a trip together. It was like during the last year's golden week and we traveled to Tokyo. We actually booked our hotel online and also had a hotel car service to send us a driver because we had never been there before, so we would get lost if we were left alone. We were supposed to arrive at night, so if anything bad happened, it would be like very disastrous and apparently, we met a problem when we landed, we retrieved our luggage and to our great surprise, nobody was waiting for us. When we tried to call the hotel service, they said they were not aware of our arrival at first, and then I thought maybe I made a mistake during the reservation. I double checked seriously and couldn't find any mistake from my side, so I called it again and complained the situation. They checked into their system and the receptionist finally saw our reservation and they might have a mistake or something. Eventually, they sent us a driver in the following half an hour, probably in one hour or two hours. We spent three nights in the hotel, so it wasn't bad at all.
Once upon a time, I had the experience of having medicine for colds. Actually, that was the best time of the year, the golden time of the year, spring time. It also can be seen as the worst season as well. As you probably know, the temperature usually fluctuates a lot during that special period, I had a cold as I didn't like to wear the heavy coat when spending time outside. I got the medicine for colds from a friend of mine, he used to grab some in the local pharmacy. Not quite expensive, 10 yuan or something. Personally, I am not the kind of person that likes to take medicines more often. But I have been suffering from this for a couple weeks and situation lasted for too long. So, this is why I prefer to take medicines I might say. The point is that you need to have water with your medication, if allowed. Besides, drink a little more water than usual if you are around sick people in the hospital or at work or school. This old-time recipe really works well for me. That is it.
The person that I would like to talk about is my Wang Jie. She now is over 50 years old And she has been working for the neighborhood associations for 10 more years. More importantly, has done so much to the environment in our community as well. A couple of weeks ago, she gave the opinion on the terrible condition of our streets. So she wanted us to organize a general cleaning activity. It wasn't compulsory, but we were encouraged to take part in it. We listened to her carefully and made different groups, each composed of around 10 people, from young children to seniors. I had to wake up early in the morning, like 6am or such. We all had our work, and our area of action. We were arranged into small groups, and 3 people and I were charged to pick up empty bottles and all plastic made products. It was an impossible mission, because there were thousands of pieces on the floor. I also tried to talk to the people and explain to them why they needed to recycle the trash. It can be pretty disastrous for the nature. This experience made me understand how important it was to save our environment. I should do this more often, thanks to her.
Mention about the topic, a study desk which has been with me for years is the thing that I am planning to replace. It is not that big quite smaller for me. It is in brown and white, kind of weird I might say. Normally I put almost everything on it. Ranging from different periodicals to magazines, newspapers to laptop. You know, I have read about over 100 books last 3 years, I couldn't find a proper place to keep those books. My study desk seems quite smaller for me. More importantly, it is an old fashioned one and my dad bought it for me 12 years ago when I was a primary school student. It was rather pricy in the past. Like 2000 or something. Till now, it is not that right for my study room. Cuz I just moved to a new house. I want everything the best. Apparently, I have made up my mind to replace this old item. I need some modern ones I might say. That is it.
The person that I`d like to talk about is Nick Wooster, he is a fashion director and buyer. He was born in Kansas America, on July 2nd, 1960. Today he is over 50 years old but he He is a very fashionable and hardworking. As far as I know, he has millions of fans on Instagram and weibo, he has shared thousands of pictures and videos on personal life, which in my consideration, quite interesting. Actually I got to know him a couple of years ago when I was looking for an American brand. He designed a collection of shirts for that American brand, I especially like his collection. Above all, he has personality plus. Nick Wooster is well known for tattoo sleeves, by the way. I suppose that he could find a perfect balance between his personal life and regular work. Cuz I keep an eye on his ins and weibo almost every day, he really likes what he does, I could find the passion from his eyes. So, he is the one that I some day in the future would like to meet. That is it.
