The person that I want to talk about is a good friend of mine, her name is Jenny. I got to know her a couple of year ago when I decided to learn something one or two on tennis. She is a good partner I can say. She showed me how to play tennis well or such. More importantly, her attitude to how to stay fit and how to lose weight seems quite special. You know, I could explain her opinions about stay healthy a little bit. She apparently looks rather nice. As we probably know, if you want to keep fit, you have to get rid of fat and calories. Such as hamburgers, red meat or such. But the funny thing is that she doesn't say nope to those junk food. What she is trying to say is that this is the motivation or passion for losing weight. You know, after having something unhealthy or high calorie food, you would find more courage to get it over. That sounds a bit weird at the beginning, but till now, I trusted it. Above all, I have learnt a lot from this person as well. Her attitude to life and the definition of happiness seem quite different. That is it.
Mention about the topic, a time when I got up quite early in the morning comes to my mind. That was a couple of years ago when I saw off my good friends in the airport. Two of them actually. They were about the live and study in another country for 5 more years, more importantly, they didn't decide to get back any more. Three of us grew up together. As you probably know, the BJ airport was located in the suburbs, not in the city center. I would drive for almost 3 hours if got stuck in the traffic. This is why I could get up quite early in the morning and headed to the destination. Besides, I had two gifts that were ready for them. Two books and some homemade noodles. Apparently, those are what they like. By doing so, this also represents my heart and attitude to our friendship as well. Above all, I dislike getting up quite early cuz I would feel exhausted in the daytime if I didn't sleep well. That is it.
Mention about the topic, an advertisement that I feel great comes to my mind. It was about a pair of Nike shoes, which told us a story that how important a pair of running shoes is in your life. I found that piece of ad a couple of weeks ago when I was surfing on the Internet. It was quite impressive cuz I didn't realise I need to buy a pair of running shoes before watching it. This piece of ad also encourages us to take part in sports as more as possible, as you probably know, nowadays, millions of ordinary citizens don't have enough time on sports, especially after a hard day of work or study. According to its content, I suppose that I had to make the change on my attitude to work and study. The balanced way is hard to get, but I will try to spend more time on jogging. Thanks to this piece of ad, I bought a pari of running and started my work out plan as well. I couild say that this sort of ad has great influence on me. That is it.
Mention about the subject, a call that I received from someone who I don't know comes to my mind. Last weekend, when I was sitting and studying in the central library, I received a phone call like that, I felt like quite nervous at the beginning cuz it was not allowed to use phones in such a quiet place. Meanwhile, I have never seen this person before, he got my phone number on the Internet the other day, when I was looking for a proper place to live in. You know, I left my phone number on certain websites or forums. Actually, I decided to rent a big house on the suburbs, where I could totally rest my mind. I told him what I want and other requirement of accommodation. Such as the maximum price each month, the preferred starting date or such. We didn't talk too much. Like 2 to 3 mins. Two reasons, No.1, I even didn't know him, I shall be careful. No.2, I was staying focused on my academic study then, I was not likely to be distracted. So, that is the first time for me I could say. That is it.
Mention about the topic, a time that i worked out a problem comes to my mind. A couple of weeks ago I had to finish a presentation, which seems quite challenging for me. It was all about the economy and finance in the world. I was required to get well prepared for it. The point was that I didn't know anything about it. A friend of mine recommended a reliable website to me, which has loads of related information and passages on global economy. I read about the articles and passages almost everyday, I worked very hard on it, 2-3 hours at least during that week I can say. Thanks to this website, I successfully had the opportunity to show off in front of my classmates. You know, I did pretty well in this presentation, it was quite impassive. That could be the first time for me to make a process in study with the help of the Internet. Above all, I started to realise the importance of the Internet as well. In the past, you know, Internet equals computer games for me, till now, it means a lot. That is it.
Mention about the subject, a piece of good news that I have heard was about the more public holidays could be given to employees in my country. As we all know that the public holidays seem quite important to ordinary people, include you and me. We work so hard and the vacations are the treasure in life. According to this news, it is allowed to have one day off on Chinese traditional festivals. Like the dragon boating festival for example. It sounds quite reasonable. I shall show respect to this regulation or policy I can say. I found this piece of good news the other day when I was surfing the Internet. A few days later, my manager told us something about it as well. What I am trying to say is that we have the best afternoon on that day we had this wonderful news. We even couldn't believe it at the beginning. We were totally shocked I could say. Above all, we would work much harder than before after receiving this piece of good news as we are completely motivated in general. Imagine that we would have more opportunities to spend time with families , lovers or friends. That seems quite perfect. That is it.
Mention about the topic, a celebrity that I want to meet in person, I must say, it is Nicolas Cage. Actually, I have never met him in person before. He is a famous actor all over the world, he was born in an English-speaking country. As far as I know, he has more than 10 million fans in the world, as he is a pretty good actor. His attitude to work, the role he plays in the movie, quite impressive I could say. I got to know this person a couple of years ago when I was a sophomore. At that time, a quite popular movie, formally named the Ghost rider, I suppose. This can be seen as the first time he steps into my life. Apparently, I am big fan as well. More importantly, his personality and good temper can be another part, he often goes to the charity, or even work for the voluntary organisation, to help those poorer people in certain area, like the area of Africa for example. The point is that he has been doing all of these for many many years. Above all, I am really hoping to meet his someday in the future, in person, definitely. Cuz his movies have been a part of my life since I was a student. That is it.
Mention about the topic, the one who made me laugh, I must say, it should be my dad. He was quite busy with his work when I was a child, like at the age of 7 or something, I couldn't remember that. You know, he didn't spend a lot of time on family. What I am trying to say is that he occasionally took me to the pubic park. You know, actually, he tried his best to make me feel happy. We went for jogging, we played soccer on the grassland or such. He was pretty good at sports I could say. In the meantime, he liked to stay with me if he had plenty of freedom. I especially enjoyed the moment when we were in the national park. I could do anything that I liked, my father could be always with me. Besides, my father is a man who gets the sense of humor. This is another point. Normally, he told me several jokes after a hard day of work. I felt like much happier. You know, till now, I have just graduated from university. But I still prefer to go to the park on weekends with my dad. I would also show him something one or two on funny stories as well. That is it.
Last summer vacation, I used to give advice of study to my younger sister. It was all about how to choose a proper major before going to the university. You know, my younger sister was about to become a college student. Before that, she was not pretty clear about the subjects, she has got no idea about the advantages and problems on each subject. I told her that two things are important. No.1, it has got to do something with her personal interest, or let us say, it is passion. Passion is the greatest love in the bottom of the heart, if you want to succeed someday in the future, you have to love what you do or study. No.2, location. My opinion is that those who want great future need to study in a super big city. By doing so, you would probably have the opportunities to become elites I could say. As is known to all, the better educational resources, good job opportunities or such. The two points that I have mentioned should be really vital. By the way, I remembered that it was a sunny afternoon when I gave her some sorts of advice, she told me what she thought about as well. After this conversation, I thought that she would probably think about it in general. That it is.
Actually, the aged building that I have been to and felt quite impressive should be a central library, which has been with us for almost 70 years. Approximately one century ago, it was built in the central area of my city. It looks rather huge, there are four floors of it. You know, it is still in use today. On the ground floor, it was open to the public 24 hours every week. Include the foreign visitors and local visitors as well. On the second and third floor, more than 20 study rooms are well settled. Those who want to study in a quiet place must love this space. The point is that it is not free of charge. 20 Yuan per hours I might say. Besides, honestly, I have got no idea about the top floor. I didn't know anything about it. Possibly, thousands of books and periodicals or magazines could be found out there. You know, this historical building has been a landmark in my city. On the weekends, most of the local ordinary citizens like to spend some time there. It definitely gives us the opportunities to be a real book lover or a good student. We could also feel something one or two about history according to this amazing historical building. So, that is it.
