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. ...

CHAPTER TWO – THE VANISHING GLASS 1．The photographs showed a large blond boy riding his first bicycle, on a carousel at the fair, playing a computer game with his father, being hugged and kissed by his mother. The room held no sign at all that another boy lived in the house, too. Carousel -喧闹的酒会 Fair – 展览会 The room held no sign at all that another boy lived in the house. 没有任何迹象显示有另一个男孩儿也住在这个屋子里。 ...

CHAPTER ONE – THE BOY WHO LIVED 1．Sorcerer – One who practices sorcery; a wizard. 这是Harry Potter的身份，一个巫师，一个男巫师；对应的女巫师为Sorceress. 2．The boy who lived. 这里的’lived’是’活着’的意思而不是’居住’，这里它是一个不及物动词(vi)，我们可以再举几个相同的例子： My grandfather is still living. Kings in history wanted to live forever, but none of them succeeded. Live and Learn! 活到老,学到老. ...

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. When he first came to the school and saw so many college students were doing an army training, he wondered what on earth the place was. ...

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. There is a saying: no pain, no gain. Although the process of English studying is a little boring, I must study English well, for me, for my career, and for my future. ...
