Books And Films

八月 12, 2006 Yesterday evening I went to a bookstore chain. What made me feel disappointed was that I couldn’t find the original edition of Harry Potter series books. I have been reading an electronic edition book of Harry Potter on the computer these days and it often made me feel tired. I prefer paper edition books to electronic books when reading some kinds of novels or technical works. Now a paper edition of books is more and more expensive. I heard that the tag price of the original edition of the Harry Potter series is up to 100 RMB and I think only a few people can afford it. ...

Warning: Super Typhoon is coming!

Today is a little cooler in Dalian and everything goes well. Alex brought us a topic about stock market, I didn’t speak much in class, because I have little interest in that issue, but I do learn a lot of new words. After the class Alex told us he was happy for his first being paid during the latest 2 months and he did not have any classes in the coming semester until this October.

My English Diary Starts From Scratch

I have been thinking of writing my English diary for a long time, but I do have no idea what I should write down. I have been studying English in Dalian for almost one and half a month and I really don’t know whether I’ve made any progress in English. Now, I have a feeling that there are a bunch of things for me to study, such as classic English sentence patterns, a huge amount of unfamiliar words, one-minute VOA headline listening practice, and so on.
