Daily Journal. 1 The Weather It's my second year in Athens, OH. Base on my own experience, I have to say this year is colder than last year. I have two specific examples to support my point. First of all, after lunch, my friend drove me home; I found that there is a bottle of water was frozen. I have never seen this situation before. I wonder how cold is the weather can make this happen? Second, when I go back home, I saw a car was frozen by the snow. The driver try to let the car get out off the snow. After 10 minutes, the car ran out. It's new and interest to me. I come from south of China. There is a few snow every year and the temperature is warmer than Athens. The snow in my hometown had never continued more than two days. I hate the low temperature but I love the snow. It's so beautiful. 2 When I think about the topic, the party which I attended last Saturday suddenly comes out my mind. I want to talk about this fantastic party. It was hold by one of my American friend, Andy, who is living at Summit. The name of the party is 80's party. I do not know why do they choose this name, but It does not matter. The party began at 8:30pm and I went there at 9:00pm. I saw some new faces when I went there. I brought two Chinese beers which were made in the USA. I played games with them and the loser should drink beer. The people become more and more while I was playing games. I left at 11:00pm and I found there are more than 20 people in that party. My friend was drunk and I got a lot of fun. 3 Have you been heard Cedar Point before? Cedar Point is a fun place which locates on a Lake Erie peninsula in Sandusky, Ohio. It includes different kinds of areas for people in different ages. Some people choose there for relax and other people go there for playing Roller Coasters and different kinds of rides. If you want to have a great vacation in Cedar Point, I suggest you'd better make a specific plan before you go there. According to suggests from the internet and reflecting on my experience, I have identified two key useful aspects of playing in Cedar Point. Living is one of the most important aspects that people need to carefully plan. Allocating time to play after people arrive the Cedar Point is the second key aspect. Cedar Point is one of the wonderful places I had traveled in the USA. Some of my friends which had already gone there before want to play again. 4 Today I want to talk about pets. There are two pets in my apartment, one is my cat, and the other one is a dog. My cat is always quiet but that dog is very crazy. As we know, the dog and cat should fright each other. However, the pets in my apartment are special. They look like friends. For example, the dog always drinks cat's water and eats its food and the cat had never angry with the dog. Moreover, they are playing together. If there is only one toy, they are not fighting and they just friendly play that toy. It's hard to say the relationship between the cat and dog which live in my apartment. 1 I went to a bar with my American friends. It's a nice place and very fun. I tasted wine called mead. I like it very much because it is not very strong and have a bit sweet. We talked a lot of fun things of the different cultures. For example, guns are banned in China but it's legal in the USA. People can use it to protect themselves when they meet emergency situation. However, It is not legal in my country because there are many criminals use guns to hurt others. If the guns are legal in China, it should be hard to control criminal because there are a lot of people. 2 My girlfriend brought seven fish from pet land today. She has not any experiences before, so I do not think she can do a good job. We have already had a cat and cat eats fish is a rule. In my opinion, the fish may die after a few weeks later. However, she has high attitude and brought several tools. It is also my first experience and I learn acquire some new knowledge from feeding fish. Such as food, temperature and the kind of fish. It is new but very interesting for me. Fish does not have communication with others and they are taking care of themselves. 3 It is snowing outside now, and the temperature is blow 10. I came from south of China and the weather is warmer than Athens. I like snow but hate cold weather. People need to wear a lot during the winter, such as hat, thick clothes, scarves and gloves. When I woke up this morning, I wanted to continue sleeping on my bed. My first class is at 8:00 am and it is too early. I am living in Summit which is on the top of the hill. There is some circle bus from Summit to campus per 20 minutes everyday’s. It is convenience for studying and it could be more happiness if the weather is better. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I watched a movie in the cinema today and the name of movie is the Green Hornet. This movie is talking about as the son of LA's most prominent media magnate, who dies mysteriously, Britt Reid, inherits his father's vast empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father's more inventive employees, Kato, Britt sees a chance to do something meaningful in his life: fight crime. To get close to the criminals, Britt and Kato plan to pose as criminals themselves. Britt becomes the vigilante Green Hornet, and Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, an indestructible car, equal parts firepower and horsepower. At the end of movie, they are hunting down the man who controls LA's gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Today is snowing and is very cold outside. I saw a lot of cars were frozen by ice when I went out of my apartment. Also the cars were covering by snow. Many people were using some tools to clean their cars and that looks hard to let their cars move. I chose to take school bus and it saved my time to go to class on time. I wonder why we don't cancel our class and closed our campus just a few days. However, it didn't happen and we need to continue our class. Because of the cold weather, we need to wear heavy cloths to keep warm. It makes people hard to do something they want and looks like fat guys. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">2 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I started play a PC game which names World of War craft. It is a very famous game and there are a lot of players come from the different parts of the word. I play a new race that calls Goblin. It is the smallest role in this game and looks very lovely and funny. My friends are surprised why I choose this role and advised me to change a new race. However, I didn't change my character because I want to try a new one I had not played before. It is hard to let your level up and also you need to do a lot of missions. It likes new adventure as well and the plot is very interesting. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">3 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I went to Columbus with my friends today. We went to a new Chinese restaurant calls small dragon. The name songs very funny but it is a very good restaurant. This restaurant has some special dishes and there are some strange dishes come from other countries on the menu. I love this restaurant because their dishes cooked with hot peppers. That looks like a very famous Chinese dishes calls Chuan. It is in the south of China and the people from that part love eating hot food and cannot stop eating hot pepper after they grew up. It is very interesting culture and there are some special stories from that place about food. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">There is a new pet visit my home today. It is a female cat calls LaLa. It has black fur on the top of his body and write fur on the four legs. It is a lovely and sprightly cat. There had already had two pets in my apartment which are cat and dog. Both of them are male. They are very happy when the new cat came in. They played games together and enjoyed their team. I found that the female cat moves faster than male cat and dog. The male cat and dog try to catch the female cat, but they always lose. I wonder if they have communication with each other, it should be very funny and interesting. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I read the book “Gone with the Wind” during my winter break. It’s a great novel by American author Margaret Michel. It’s a story about southern living in the US during the Civil War. I especially like Scarlett O’Hara, a strong-willed southern woman who refused to go hungry after the destruction of her plantation by Yankee troops. She said with great hope, “tomorrow is another day.” This is an very power and useful proverb for someone who lose their hopes. They can believe tomorrow is a new start. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">2 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The Spring Festival is also the Chinese New Year. Every year, before the Spring Festival, people are very busy. They buy many foods to prepare for a big dinner with their families. If their families are outside the city, they will make travel plan to meet them. In the evening after dinner, people go out into the street and play fireworks and fire crackers. Now I am a student study in Ohio University. I cannot spend my Chinese New Year as usual because I left my hometown. Hopefully I have a nice spring festival. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">3 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I want to buy a car, and my dream car is E350 couple. There are 50 thousands in my budget. I did some researches on the internet before I go buying. The price of this type of car is higher than last year. I want get some discount from the sell company, however, they rejected me. The price is higher than my budget. I fell sad and chose another type car and it is a big SUV. My friends told me It is better to buy a SUV because there is heavy snow in Athens every year. At the end, I bought the SUV. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Is venting anger a right way to solve problem? Not really. First of all, venting anger may cause extra problems. Some problems were caused by trivial things and always getting serious by expressed out. For example, couples quarrel over having dinner, but they may get fighting about their past problems after someone vented anger. Second, vetting anger may up the heart-attack risk, not well for solving problems. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Have you been heard Cedar Point before?

Some people hold the idea that immigration and emigration are unethical meanwhile others said that they are personal choices and depending on their purposes. The population of emigration is more than the population of immigration because China is a developing country. The result shows that between 1978 and 2007, more than 1.21 million Chinese went abroad for study and research, of whom only about a quarter have returned. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">﻿3 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">﻿Some people think vetting anger is the right way because they are standing on the right side; however, it is not only bad for health, but also make the problem worse. Moreover, maybe venting anger is solving the problem at a time, but it can’t always work. Sometimes people show anger to strangers to solve the problems and they probably think it is right to vent anger to their friends. Through the research we can find that venting anger often breaks relationship between friends. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">4 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">These days I have been studying about anger and acquired a lot. There are three main types of anger, such as to show anger, to control anger, and to make someone angry. Based on these types of anger, I had to say that I am a person who doesn’t good at control anger and always loses control. The way of expressing my anger is stop talking and keep silence until the person who caused me anger leave. For example, I had an experience with my friend and I still remember all of the details. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">1 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Chinese should recognize the negative and follow-up impacts of brain drain. With the brain drain happens, the problems of economic, technology developing, and cultural heritage become more serious and obvious. This situation not only appears in China, but also happens in other countries, especially in developing countries. With the deepening of these problems, the country's construction and development will be seriously affected. Government should reduce the appeal of studying abroad and increasing the attractiveness of returning to their homeland. Hopefully human can correctly understand brain drain and find solutions in the future. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">2 <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> I have a new partner in QBA class, who names Ali Al-Ameeri, comes from Iraq. After a short communication, I know that he has been studying English for 6 years and his native language is Arabic. Moreover, his major is Information & telecommunication system. He comes to America because he wants to get master degree of his major. Before he came to Ohio University, he had been working for 5 years in Zain mobile company in Iraq. In my opinion, he is an extrovert. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> 3

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> Have you ever been shocked by countless bodies in the bloody battlefield when you watched movies? Do you still think violence is the best way to solve the problem? Maybe you need to learn more about another way---nonviolent movement. "Nonviolent action is a way for ordinary people to fight for their rights, freedom, and justice. According to history, with some extra helps, many nonviolent movements obtain final victories. Foreign aid, social support and religious beliefs are three important premises that promote nonviolence to be an effective strategy for social changes. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> 4 <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"> Both of reading and writing have four basics. About the reading, readers need to indicate main topic and know what unifies the ideas in the reading, then using skills to find out key words and combining key sentences to understand the author’s central ideas and arguments. About writing, writers need to have a clear title and focus on one main topic. Be sure make enough explanations of your scientific terms, also key ideas and support examples should be unified in the writing.

1 Nowadays, high school students hold different opinions about after-class activities. There are two quite different phenomenons. Some students are crazy about sports and some other activities. They spend much time in joining the outdoor activities and varies of groups, and also, making new friends. However, they pay a little attention to their studies. On the contrary, some students spend almost of their time in studies and don't enjoy attending other activities. In my opinion, I think neither of them is correct. I think we should study hard, but we also need time to relax ourselves, because if a one in a good state, he can do better

====Your environment has a tremendous influence on you. The books you read, the people you spend time with, and the music you listen to all influence the way you think and feel about yourself and the world around you. In a nutshell, your environment can either build up your self-confidence or drag it down. If you're in a situation where you're discouraged, such as an unhealthy relationship or a miserable job, you have to change that situation if you want your self-confidence level to grow. Create an environment that supports you if your desire to have abundant self-confidence. Spend time with confident people.====

====Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make friends. When in trouble, wended friends to offer us help, support and encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys. Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection, and readiness to help. No man can make the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along. In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life.====
