I suggest that you can't buy shoes online, because the size of shoes which made in different companies are different. I have bought several shoes online, but they didn't fit me. From then on when I want to buy shoes, I must go to local shoes shop and try to wear one by one untile I find that fit me.

Today I will talk about Chinese students study English. Most of Chinese students have studied English for several years, but they can't write and speak English well. Especially they meet a foreigner, they are afraid of saying wrong. They can think about the grammar fist. So they just say the simple stentence, such as "How old are you?", "What's your name?". LOL.

The reason is that the English teachers don't ask them to write or speak English in class. Furthermore the teachers's spoken English are poor. So Chinese student's reading are better than their writing and speaking.

The foreigner teachers often appear in English class at the beginning of training. The reason is attracting more students who will join in.
而外教经常在开学时来到课堂，目的是吸引更多的学生来报名。
I think foreigner English teacher teaches English very well, because they can teach standard pronunciation.
我认为由外教来教英文比较好，那样学生们能够学到正确的发音。

When we talked about it, I thought many things that a doctor didn’t want his child to be a doctor for more medical risks，a government official didn’t want his child to be a government official because people in official circles are evil. It seems that most of people hate their job.谈到此事，使我想起很多事。当医生的不愿其小孩当医生，因为其风险太大；当官的不愿其小孩当官，因为官场人心险恶。好像大多数人对本行业都很厌倦。

后来用原系统盘安装，可是序列号又过期了。接着我在电脑公司要了一张不要输入序列号的系统盘安装，成功了。但是欢乐斗地主又不能打开，后来他请网吧的技术员将它弄好。但是电脑经常死机。今天中午我又装内存条拔下来将金手指上的灰擦掉再装上后又恢复正常。但是以了晚上他又打电话给我还是经常死机，我晕了。

Today my friends and I went to Tianmu Lake which locates in Liyang city, Jiangshu province, China. Unfortunately the weather was bad, it was raining. We drove to Tianmu Lake for about two hours. There are many people who also traveled there. We entered the Tianmu Lake gate with umbrellas.
今天我和几位朋友去游天目湖，天目湖位于江苏省溧阳市。可惜的是今天天气不太好，雨一直在下。我们开车到天目湖大约花了了2个小时。今天来游玩的人还不少，我们纷纷打着伞走了进去。
When I entered we firstly visited oceanarium where there were many beautiful marine organisms. Then we went to the Longxin Island where there was many kinds of little squirrels. Later we went to another scenic spots. We visited waterwheel, thatched cottage, paddy field and vegetable field around the lake.
进了天目湖大门，我们先参观了海洋水族馆，哪里有许多精美的海洋生物。接着我们就乘坐游艇到龙心岛游玩，在龙心岛里面养着几种几样的小松鼠。后来再乘坐游艇到另一个景点，我们环湖游玩，这里有中国古时候取消用的水车、茅草屋、水田和菜地。
At noon we went to Tianmu Hotel to eat the soup of the Tianmu Lake fish which is famous meal in China. The soup was very delicious, we all drank a lot. After supper we happy came back to home by car.

I found that the teachers of the Ningguo Cambrige English School were very careful in working. In the school report they accurately wrote down times they went to school and encouraging comments. All students of whether good or bad of studying are very happy and want to study English harder when they see it. The teacher gave every students a gift finally.

I think that the parents’s meeting in Ningguo Cambrige English School is more interesting than that in primary school.

But at junior middle school the English gets high attention. Because the students have not studied English well in primary school, and added more courses to study and more English studying contents at junior middle school, and have not got good tutoring. Their English are often very bad, some of them even give up. It badly affects them to enter a high school.
而升到初中以后，英语又得到极高的重视，由于在小学没有学好，课程增多了，以及英语学习的内容也增多了，加上没有好好的辅导，他们的英语成绩很差，有的学生甚至放弃了英语，这样严重地影响他们今后的升学。
So the students must study English well in primary school.
因此在小学就一定要学好英语。

About children’s education, I think that parents don’t care more about the details of their study and more care about the methods of their study. When they have in trouble in their study, you must give them help. Every child is good and progressive.

One day I made a game rule that among three of us in my family who would finish his meal at last who would clean the table. Needless to say, it was often my son to finish his meal. In order to make him quickly, I said to him that he would wash the dishes if he always finishes his meal in the future.

Then he began to play computer games.
由于宁国的中小学的校舍要加固，今年的假期特别长，几乎要放3个月的假。儿子放假期间的坏习惯就是睡懒觉、看电视和玩电脑。为了杜绝此事发生，今天我到剑桥英语学校给他报了两个兴趣班：一个是小橘灯作文班和少儿剑桥英语二级班。
Because the buildings of the primary and middle school of Ningguo will be reinforced this year, it has almost three-month vacation for students. My son’s bad habits are sleeping late, watching TV and playing games. In order to prevent the occurrence of this matter, I went to the Cambridge English School and signed up for two interest classes for him: one is the Composition Class of Little Orange Lamp; other is the Class of book two of Cambridge Young Learners English.
在报这两个班之前我同他沟通过的，他同意我给他报这两个班。少儿剑桥英语一级刚刚学完，通过一年的学习，他的英语提高了不少，他开始对英语产生了浓厚的兴趣。他还是比较怕写作文。小橘灯作文班要求在40钟内完成一篇作文。我想他在这里经过系统的学习，作文会有所提高。这两个培训班不会占用他整个暑假，也只是在周二、四、六学习，其他时间还是由他自己支配。
I have communicated with him before I signed up for the two classes; he agreed that I signed up for the two classes. He just finished the book one of Cambridge Young Learners English. Through one year’s studying his English has improved more. He began to have a strong interest in English. He is still afraid of writing a composition. It is asked to finish a composition in 40 minutes at the Composition Class of Little Orange Lamp. I think that he will improve his composition after one year’s system studying there. The two classes can’t occupy all his vacation, just on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. He is free at other time.

The end time of high school entrance exam was 10:30 a.m. During this period of time, if any students went out, we would give the advertisements to them, which printed checking grade hotline of high school entrance exam on it.
大约在9点45分，陆续有几个学生出来，看这些学生无精打采的样子，分明是考的不太好，当我把广告单给他的时候，他都不要。一般情况下，早点出来的学生，大多是成绩不太好的。成绩好的学生做好了试卷，还要仔细地检查，看看有没有错的。
About 9:45 am, several students came out. Through their appearance of the listless I thought they hadn’t taken good exams. When I gave them the advertisements, they didn’t take it. Generally the students who early finished exams aren’t study harder. But good students finished the test paper, they still checked it very carefully and looked for and corrected what they did wrong.
最后考试结束了，大量的学生涌出校门，我的同事们也纷纷参入了战斗，后来出来的学生，听说是查分的广告，他们纷纷上来要。很快就发完了。
After 10:30 am, many students rushed out the gate, my co-workers began to distribute handbills. When the students heard the handbills were the papers of checking grade hotline, they all came and took it until it was over.
今天来散发广告的不止我们公司一家，还有中专学校招生的，也有家教做广告的，看来大家都在利用中考做点文章。
Today there were many other people who distributed handbills. Which included that secondary vocational school would recruit students and training centre would recruit students. It seems that some people do their business with high school entrance exam.

Later when I talked to something which he is very interesting, such as computer game and cartoon book, he was so joyful that he was talking fluently and endlessly about his computer games. Then I told him that I would fill ten Yuan into his computer game, he repeatedly thanked me very much.
