Reaction to my project
In fact, blogging has been become a popular thing nowadays. In addition, there are different kinds of blog related with different theme for people to share their interest and hobby. Internet gives us another space to relax ourselves from reality life. I touched blog before several years. Also, I prefer to write down my diary in my private blog. In my own experience, reading other’s blog is a way for me to know more my friends and to share our happiness even we are not together.
Reaction to The Project- Ketty
Different from emailing or texting, blogging is more aggressive. People write blogs just because they are interest in writing and expressing their thoughts. Compare to blogging, emailing is private and interactive. I have had my own personal blog for a long time. I record my life every day in my blog, but now I am not interested in blogging because I found it’s different from what I thought at first when I published it. Maybe I will only continue to share some trips or some discussion with my friends in future.

this project didn't take too much of my time, because basically it was a summary of what we did through the semester and it was much easier than other projects. it was actually my first time blogging. it was fun and exciting and i liked but the part of reading other people's blog is little boring ,especially you specifically said that we must read 15 blogs and leave some comments. in my opinion this is not helpful because even if we don't have any comment, we have to say something. blogging is different with email because basically you are sharing your opinion or information with others even with people you might even don't know. email is a more private way of communication that you only have with people you know, your friend, parents and ...
i liked blogging but i wont think i create my personal blog one day, because i am not comfortable sharing my thoughts and beliefs with strangers.

This blog is my first time do it in American. When I have a English personal blogging, I would like to put any interesting and my fond things in my blog. I use about 3 days to finish my blog project, but I don't think it is a hard job, I very love to do this project. I cannot say I did a good job in my blog, but I like my blog. For example my favorite songs, favorite movie and my opinion of the pop culture, I can put many things that I want to share. Through it I can show some of my information to other people and we also through the blog's sharing or other classmate's opinions,it also improve our relationship.I know some people will say the emailing also can communicate each other.However, I think emailing is totally different from blogging. In my opinion, emailing is can communicate with people but people cannot through emailing know my hobby or my writing of my emotion, so emailing just good for short communication. on the other hand blog is a very good way to show myself. Such as, I put my favor in my blog, then share my idear with my classmate and friends, through their blog I can give my opinion in their blog too. Finally, I think I will keep my blog and sometime I can put more of my information in it.Then I can share with my classmate.Reaction

Brithney Spear is the most of my favorite signer. Basically I listened her music to grow up. The first time I heard she sang 'Baby One More Time', I really crazy about the song.

MATRIX
This is my favorite movie matrix, it is a science fiction movie. First, matrix this movie is talk about the main actor and his
partner in the same dream fight with invade people . After that,
they came back to reality world and used the weapon to fight with
the mechanical person. If some one did not watch this movie, you
can to buy a DVD or download it to watch, it had kung fu part, human VS robot part,
and the background music was so wonderful.

Forrest Gump

American Beauty
I chose to work on the movie "American Beauty" because it's a very dramatic movie. In this movie, it disclosed the ugliness of betrayal, and reflected social reality both sarcastically and realistically. The story of “American Beauty” is a little complex. It is a movie about a man who was sick of his boring and repetitive life. He didn't want to be an anxious social climber anymore. Thus, he quit his job to become a worker in McDonalds. Meanwhile, he fantasized about her daughter's best friend. He did exercise every day and didn’t care about his wife. His wife was suffering a crisis in her career, and she betrayed her husband to date another man. His daughter was dating the neighborhood boy, a strange boy from a dysfunctional family. On this background developed many dramatic stories. I really loved the part when his daughter's boyfriend displayed his video about a dancing bag. He said many words about the cruelty and beauty of a vanishing life. In fact, the movie is special because the story is sophisticated. It displayed the desperation of adults’ world. Therefore, don't delay; go watch the movie. You really need to put "American Beauty" on your movie list because it will challenge and enrich your imagination.
a beautiful mind

i will say this is my most favorite movie of all time,very interesting story and brilliant acting of Russel crow makes a deep and strong connection with the audience. john nash (Russel crow)is a genius in math able to solve any problem that baffled the greatest minds.after graduating from prinston university he turns to teaching and falls in love with his student named Alicia.nash is offered to work for some organization to break soviet codes.after a while he discovers that he is suffering a serious mental problem.but his loyal and devotee wife stands next to him and help him overcome this issue and eventually he makes a revolutionary breakthrough and he earns the Nobel prize.i strongly recommend watching this movie.i was told to watch it and i did watch it two times.its one of the best movies i have ever watched.
I like this movie. I think it's a very good movie and the actors are so perfect. Although the story of the film is not the sun, but the warmth of family love thick enough to make people feel, the family of each character, though not perfect, but none of Oliver is full of love. The family each one has their own problems and pressures. However, Olive is a little girl with a dream: winning the little miss sunshine contest. The whole family travels together to California with the goal of getting Olive to the little miss sunshine contest.
Paul Dano play Dwayne in the film. I think he is not handsome, but he has his personality and very cute..
I chose this film because It's a love story about family. The film has some dialogue very funny.

Little Miss Sunshine


Superman Returns

- I chose this movie because it's very famous and the other important reason is I've been a Superman fan for as long as I can remember. It's a justice movie,it talking about superman returns to save people from danger after he has left 5years . He fall in love with a lady who works with him, and he would rather give up his own power to stay with his lover, however he realized that he can't do anything without the power later, even can't protect his lover. At last, he owned his power again and beat the worst guy to protect the world. I like this movie and i hope you will spend your time to watch it after read my review.

JUNO

Titanic

The Dark Knight
Ratatouille


Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a book that I read, and also watched the movie. It's a great movie you should really watch and enjoy.
After a disastrous summer with the Dursleys, including a fight with the Dementors, Harry is mad and angry about his friends when he returns to Hogwart. After the return of Lord Voldemort and no one believes Harry, he starts his fifth year sadly. When the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Dolores Umbridge refuses to teach them defensive spells, who refuses to admit what Harry says about the Dark Lord return, Harry with Ron and Hermione, start up the D.A, Dumbledore's Army to battle evil forces and prepare the young witches and wizards for the extraordinary journey that lies ahead... . If you want to know what happen to him and the DA about defeating the dark art I really recommend you to watch the movie, but also read the book.

The Water Horese: Legend of Deep

The Water Horse is a heart-warming film about a boy and a magic sea creature, which is a great movie for a family from young to elder to enjoy together. The story of this movie is very simple, but you feel comfortable and touch when you watch it. I really loved and moved when the boy do his effort to save the sea creature bravely. At the same time, the scene of this movie is beautiful and the sound is attractive. I am sure that you will love it once you watch it as like me, i am planing to watch my third time for this movie.
Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a movie about a rat how to success on cooking. Remy is a rat who lives in a little cottage and likes cooking. He believes everyone can be a cooker. Meanwhile, becoming a cooker is his dream. I really loved the part when Remy needed to cook the best food for the gourmet with his friends. It makes me very nervous in that moment. On the other hand, in this movie, the director used 3D effects to draw the story. Therefore, all of the actors and background in the movie look like real. All of them are why I recommend you to put Ratatouille on your movie list. It is funny and the background is beauty. 

Shooter is a movie that is attractive to poeple who like war movies or movies are about Army. It is a depressing movie which is about a former Marine scout sniper. The most attractive part of this movie is that how the main actor uses his experiences from his Marine life and his genius to revenge to baddies. Actually, because of the theme of this movie, Shooter not only becomes a special movie, but also it excites me in some ways which are that the main actor shoots with a 100% accuracy, and his great experiences from from Marine. Therefore, do not hesitate to think about whether or not to see this. As you can see, you will be attracted by scene, actors/actresses and the theme of this movie, since you put Shooter on your movie list.

building incarnate culture

My project
Good Eating In China

I am going to introduce some good Chinese food. The first dish is my favorite: Spicy Fish Hot Pot.

This is one is a famous Shanghaiese dish. If you go to Shanghai, remember this dish: "Xie Fen Xiao Long", or "Little Crab Buns". You could find this dish everywhere in Shanghai.

There are plenty of choices for food in China. Besides Chinese food, there are cuisines from all over the world in China, especially Asian cuisines. I was once addicted to Japanese food. It is more expensive compared with other foods, but it is worth the price.

When Korean opera became popular in China, poeple in China became familiar with Korean food. I especially enjoy Korean BBQ and stirred fired rice cake.
My deepest impression of Shanghai for the 4 years that I have lived and worked there is all the decilicious foods I have eaten. There are many restaurants from all over the world in every business district in Shanghai. Chinese food includes eight great traditions: Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang. Besides Chinese food, there are many foreign cuisines in China. If you enjoy food tasting, China is the best place to be.
