Mention about the topic, a toy that I got when I was young is a minibike from my father. You know, my dad spent 5 to 6 hundred to buy it. It was a bit pricy you know, at that time. More importantly, my father gave it to me as my 10th birthday`s gift. The color was my favorite, metallic grey. I think most of the boys would love it as well. I remembered that I was at the age of ten, I started to learn how to ride the bicycle. At the beginning, I was very excited you know. The minibike was with me all the time, but I was not high talented in riding I can say. After 2 to 3 days, I still couldn't be a good rider. My father encouraged me all the way, after a hard day of work, he showed me something one or two on riding. We kept doing this for about a week, I eventually and successfully became a good rider I could say. That was about 20 years ago when everyone had a bike on the street. I was a member of them. Quite excited for such an experience and toy. That is it.
Mention about the topic, I must say it is green tea. Chinese tea has a long history more than 5 thousand years. You know, specifically, most of ordinary people in my country are big fan of green tea, which in my consideration, quite popular. The green tea has been with us for thousands of years, it should be a traditional products of my hometown as well. As far as I know, regular green tea is 99% water, 1% calorie. Additionally, green tea has got to do something with weight loss in general. It is very healthy, those people who want to stay fit need to drink it more often. To be honest, green tea is made using sun-drying, oven-drying or basket. So, people trust the benefits of green tea with 100%. Above all, when I have visitors, I actually have got no idea about what to do and how to deal with, tea culture is a good helper, it is playing an important role in my life. Besides, it has the reasonable price by the way. So, the popular product in my mind should be green tea. That is it.
Speaking of the subject, something that I lost then got it back to me, it is my iPhone 5. Actually, quite important to me in my life at that time. You know, I bought that new product a couple of years ago when I was in university. More importantly, I got the financial support all from my parents as well. See, I told you. It is rather necessary to me then. I still remember that it was gone after a hard day of my study in the library. I even didn't know how to find it back after realizing it was lost. When I arrived at my dormitory, I found that I might leave the phone in the library. I was very nervous, kind of like I am tearing out my hair. I immediately went back to the library then tried everything that I could to find it. Some of my roommates did a big favor. We spent almost 2 hours in the library. Eventually, the supervisor of the library gave it back to me on the seventh floor, I mean, in his office. I was like a bit shocked since I didn't expect that things went smoothly in this way. Thanks to those great people. I appreciate the kindness and love from my friends and supervisor. They gave a hand to me. That is it.
Speaking of the topic, a brand new sport park is the building that I like to talk about. As far as I know, it is located in the urban area of my city. This is really important to ordinary people since it is hard to find a proper place for us to do some exercises or play sports in central area. You know, our local government put millions of dollars in this new public building. Kind of like a new landmark of my hometown I can say. It has a large space for football and soccer, ten specific courts for tennis and table tennis. A wider range of sports facilities and items could be found out there. Most of these are nearly free of charge. Let us put that in this way, ranging from senior citizens to young adults, from businessmen to foreign visitors. Everyone, include you and me, could enjoy the terrific and wonderful moment in this park. By the way, I got to know something one or two about this sports park on the Internet. I suppose that almost everyone who lives in the city has got ideas when it was built and opened to the public. Above all, its location, its equipments and sports facilities could be the main reasons why I like to visit there. I would love this amazing place. That is it.
Mention about the subject, the day after my big exam could certainly make me feel much happier. The big exam, formally named, university entrance examination. That was on 23rd of June last year, when we were ready for the coming summer holiday. Let us put that in this way. I just graduated from my high school, you know, after the hard seasons of study. I have been working hard on that important exam for a couple of years, On that day, I was quite excited and a bit nervous when I finished all the curriculums and exams. Since I would have a quite long vacation, approximately more than five weeks at a time. Interestingly, I wasn't going on a long journey or traveling to other cities. But I preferred spending time at home. Just listening to some music, grabbing a cup of coffee then waiting for my close friends. Certainly, I had visitors on that sunny afternoon. I hardly remember what we did on that sunny afternoon, just talking, laughing, sharing personal secrets or such. Above all, all what I have had in my mind was that I got to know the definition of happiness, the reality of happiness. Quite impressive, and it is quite hard to get that feeling one more time. That is it.
The sorts of advice that I have received on my work should be from my father. It is all about how to find a balanced way between personal interests and salary. My father told me that passion was the greatest love in the bottom of heart, if I wanted to do well in work, I had to put it in the first place. Actually, that was several years ago when I just graduated from my university. I even didn't know what to do and how to hunt a decent job. On a sunny morning, I talked to him. He took some examples and tried to explain to me the impotence of personal interest when people are at work. I was like a bit shocked since I thought that salary was the key word when I was choosing my future career, but my attitude t has been totally changed by him. You know, that is like the men`s talk, a father and his son. He even showed me how to be a better man both in regular work and ordinary life. Above all, I learnt a lot from him. The personal interest seems more important than any other kinds of factors when choosing a perfect position. Such as working environment, improvement space or office rules or such. So, that is it.
The place where I like to spend time on should be a coffee shop, you know, not a lot of people get to know such a perfect place to study and read. It is located right in the sharp corner of city library, I don't know how to let you know the location exactly, but it is apparently quite hard to find. There are a couple of seats for ordinary customers, the free wifi, I mean the speed is amazing by the way. I normally like to grab a cup of coffee and in the meantime to download some interesting movies. The bean they used in the coffee shop seems quite different, as far as I know, 99% of the beans is from South America or sth, once upon a time, I talked to the owner, I trusted him so much. For my part, I wouldn't say I could grab something in that place everyday, but I do this more often. 4 to 5 times a week. Especially on the weekends, normally, I prefer sitting in the corner then complete something of my school paper. This comfortable place is right for me. Those people who like to sit in that coffee shop usually put a smile of joy on face. That made me feel very warm inside. This is why I like o read and write in this mini coffee shop. That is it.
Mention about the topic, a time when I was very sleepy but had to stay awake comes to my mind. Three months ago, when I was struggling for final examination. I was told that I had to have a better result if I wanted to have a new mobile phone. My dad had a promise with me by the way. Apparently, I tried to work hard on my preparation of that big exam. Seriously, I only slept 4 to 5 hours the week before final exams. On a Monday afternoon, just after the lunch break, I was very very sleepy in front of my table. You know, it was quite hard to find a wonderful place to have a good sleep in the library. I carried on staying awake and encouraging myself to continue finishing my academic work. It was a tough challenge. In order to stay awake, I didn't eat anything at noon. This is a highly recommended method I can say. Hunger is the best solution to make me feel refreshed. Imagine that, I was the kind of person who didn't sleep well and felt quite hungry. That feeling would kill me. Eventually, I had a successful result in my final examination. I also got the new phone from my dad. That is it.
Well, the time that I got a problem and worked hard on it according to the Internet, was all about how to book the hotel in another city of my country, when I was doing the arrangement of my long journey. You know, the main problem was that I was not sure if I could find a proper place or hotel to live in, especially in such a super big city, you know, it has large population by the way, 10 million I suppose. For my part, it could a big challenge to make reservations or do something in advance. more importantly, I haven't been to the city of Peking before, certainly, I was a bit worried and nervous if I could solve it on my own. Thanks to the Internet and related online travelling forums, I got hundreds of useful advice. Some kind-hearted net pals who grew up in Beijing, really did a big favor for real. We talked online, texted messages on the forums as well. Not very long, but in 2 days, we worked it out. I was like a bit shocked since I haven't imagined that things went on so smoothly. The Internet is now playing an increasingly important role in my personal life. That is it.
Four years ago, when I came to my university for the first time. I didn't know anyone in the class or the dormitory. The only one that I got to know was the accommodation officer. She who was in charge of accommodation arrangements looks rather nice, around 50 years old I suppose, often put a smile of joy on face. I never thought that the officer could be so gorgeous or such, honestly. That was a sunny afternoon of September, in the office, I talked to her and got certain help as well. Rather kind-hearted since she had a perfect attitude to her work. When she realized that I was bit nervous, then she tried to explain to me something in details time and time again, such as how to make the reservations in library, how to get along well with roommates. Very patient I can say. I was like a bit moved after getting close to such a warm-hearted lady. Above all, she left a great impression on me, till now, I graduated from my college. But I occasionally pay a visit to her as well.
