The song I like most

I like music so much, but my most favor music is the soundtrack of musicals. Musicals are not only have good stories, but also have heaven songs to tell the stories and to show the emotion of roles. That is why I like the musicals' songs so much, I can listen beautiful music and read emotional stories at the same time. However, if some one asks me which song I like the most, I will tell The Music of the Night is my favor.
The Music of the Night is in the musical The Phantom of the Opera. It is a main rhythm of that musical, that shows how important of this song. This song describe the first time the phantom brought Christine to his underground lake and the phantom use this song to allure Christine. When audiences hear this song, they will feel how wonderful of the music and the night which is described by phantom. Also this song is one of the most famous songs in English music world because of its beautiful melody. Many singers have sang this song in live concert such as Nightwish and Barbar Streisand. I believe that all of these can really prove this song is a such prefect song.
In conclusion, I really love The Music of the Night, it has good rhythm, wide influence, and visible lyric. This song is so wonderful that I can hear it again and again.

Birds of a Feather

In China, people often say that the same kind of people will be friends. That is exactly what kind of our relationship between my best friend and me. My best friend is very nice, and she has talent on langue learning. We grew up together from our childhood, so we know each other very well. However, after I went to another city to study in university, we only met twice per year. Especially after I went to the U.S., I miss her so much, and I know her miss me too because we have many similarities.
The most distinct aspect of us is that we love Japanese comic. The first time we got closely is because of the comic when we saw others on a comic bookstore. After that we found we had he same avocation， so we began to have a lot of conversion and the became good friends.
Secondly, both of us like reading and quite. We have so many different kinds of books at home that we often forget which books belong whom. In addition, we like The lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, and many other books. That is why we always have interesting topic to talk with each others.
At last, another important thing is that we like cats so muchhhhhhhh! I had two cute cats when I was in university, but my mum did not like pets, so she helped me to fed the cats after I graduated from university. Of course, these cats are her favor too. Also that is why I feel at ease to give them to her.
In brief, I believe that we can be best fiends forever.

My favorite kind of weather

Weather is a popular topic of people's discussion, and one of the most common questions is do you like the weather in somewhere. Moreover, weather is an important factor when people chose where to live. In my opinion, I like snow，but my favorite weather is in my hometown, where I have lived for the longest time in my life.

Just like I wrote in a blog before, the weather in my hometown has a little similarity  with California. They are mild and do not have variety in one year, and my hometown is near sea as well. However, my hometown is moister than South California. When I had backed to my hometown from north China during the vocation, I almost could not breath because the air is so heavy that full of moisture. This kind of wet weather is good for skin, so I feel comfortable in hometown.

In summer, there are a lot of typhoons come to my hometown, but I like the weather when they come. The wind and rain are so heavy that many trees are fell down during the typhoon. At that time my friends and I love to see the weather to feel the power of nature. After the typhoons, the sky and air always become clear and fresh, that is another reason I like typhoons.

The winter in my hometown is really short, and it rains a lot. Temperature during the winter is not low, but because the weather is wet, people often feel colder that the snow places. In another hand, I still miss the weather since I left home to go to university.

In brief, my hometown's weather is my favorite. It is a really beautiful place and the weather is nice. No matter where I go, I will always love and miss my hometown.

My Lunar New Year Resolution

Lunar New Year is the most important festival of Chinese because Chinese people think this is a new begin of the year. People will eat special food such as dumplings and cerebrate Lunar New Year in many ways. However, The most important thing of people is make a wish of next year. For example, some people will hope they can make more money at the year, or some people will want to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend of the year. For me, I wish I could pass IBT test at this year especially in this semester, and I also want to get into the CSUF at fall; at last, I wish I can help the Midland Chinese Student Association become better and better.
At first, I need to pass IBT test this semester because I need the score to apply the master degree. In fact, this is the most important thing to me at those days. Since if I can not enroll in university this fall, I am going to back China after the ending of the semester. I really do not want this will happen, so I need to work hard on the Toefl to let me stay here to study.
In addition, I also hope I will have a good performer in the open university classes. As the journal I posted on blog before, I am trying to apply a different major from my undergraduate major. Therefor, the profess asked me to take some classes of this major first, then he can consider to accept me into the department or not.I wish I could enter the program after my hard working of this semester.
In the end, I join the MCSA some days ago, and I found the people in this group are very nice and have lots of enthusiasm.And the people in MCSA also want to help Chinese students adapt American and university environment. That is something so meaningful that I want to do.
The three things are my new tear resolution, I would like to make them come true through my working. And as time goes by, I hope I could say I did not waste this year in the end of 2013.

Halloween Spooky Story

      When the we were eating candy, the door suddenly opened. "Who?" Bob asked. But there is no person outside the door. "May be just the wind or rain."I guessed, "but let's find something to keep the door closed." My friends all agreed with me, so we went into a room in the left of the house. This room was so dark, we couldn't see any thing inside. Fortunately, when the lighting lit up the sky,  we found there were just a table and three chairs in the room. "Great, we can use the table." Lucy looked like a little happier. We tried to move the table outside the room, then I noticed that when we moved the table, I could hear some strange sounds. But at that time, I didn't care about that. So we moved the table outside and kept the door closed.
      When we closed the door, all of us heard someone stepped on the second floor. That was scared us so much because the house was too old and full of dust, no person should live in. We tried to ignore the sound and tell ourselves that sound just made by wind. However, After a while, we could still hear the sound of steps. "Should we go out? I think there is dangerous." I suggested although there was raining outside because that sound was so scared us. My friends didn't answer me,  but they all began to move the table.
      "We can't move the table!!!" Bob cried, and Lucy began to cry too. I tried to calm down, but failed. We began to thump the door and wanted to have a miracle to let us out. Suddenly, the steps came to the stairs, that was made us became more scared. We couldn't help turning around to face the sound, we saw nothing but black fog. The fog gushed to us from the stairs. We could do nothing, the fog surrounded us. Then we could see nothing and I fainted.
      When I waked up, we were laid on the ground in the forest. The sun shined on our faces. I sprang up and found here was no house. I didn't know what happened, the only thing I could do was waking my friends to go home. Our parents not only were very angry, but also worried about us. When we told them the story and the house, they said there never had had a house before. They also didn't believe the story, so we said nothing but just hided the story at our mind.
