May 24, 2011_我的汉语作业

给你们看看我的汉语作业。《成功之路进步篇1》, 80页，看度说话：

做的很乱。哈哈！

我本来是这样做的。你们看看，很奇怪吗？问题不少。嘿嘿....　　

　　　　在鸡农村有一对鸡。他们是夫妻。那天母鸡对老公说：“今天在街上跟你说话的那个小女鸡是谁？你们之间是什么关系？“ 

　　　　老公安静地转身不理她。老公这所以这样是因为老婆的性格是这样，很容易吃醋。老婆接着说：“你是不是喜上别的女的了？......快说！“

　　　　后来老公对老婆说：”我已经老了，跟你已经30年一起生活了。从婚礼那天到现在你还这样，一点儿都不信赖我。每次你指责我，你没指责对过。诚实说，那只小女鸡是西班牙的农村，我被领导派陪她吃饭，介绍一下我们的农村。现在我又老又累。如果你还不能信赖我，那...... 那没关系，我要耐心地等你。不过我想你知道我只爱你。到永远爱你。不管怎么样，我不会转身爱其她的小女鸡。“

后来被老师看了，我们修改了。

　　　　在鸡农村有一对鸡夫妻。有一天母鸡对公鸡说：今天在街上跟你说话的那个小母鸡是谁？你们之间是什么关系？

　　　　老公安静地转身不理她。他这所以这样事因为老婆的性格容易吃醋。老婆接着说：你是不是喜欢上别的女的了？ ......快说！
　　　　老公对老婆说：我已经老了，跟你已经生活了30多年了。从结婚到现在你还是这样，一点儿都不相信我。每次你指责我你没指责对过。老实说那只小母鸡是从西班牙的鸡农村来的。我被领导派去陪她吃饭，介绍一下我们的农村。我老了，如果你还不能相信我，那...... 那没关系，我会耐心地等你。不过我希望你知道我只爱你，永远爱你。不管怎么样，我都不会爱上其它的小母鸡。

怎么样？好多了吗？

Learn a new language is not an easy thing. Language are much more than vocabularies and grammars, it is also about culture, a nation, histories. Learning language requires an openness and culture acceptance. For me myself, I enjoy myself learning Chinese. But.... I need to always remember this, if I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels (with a correct pronunciation, grammar and even local dialect), but didn't love others (have no love, no openness, acceptance, a heart to serve), I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. It will be meaningless :)

May 7, 2011_What language should I learn?

啊啊！！怎么会事儿？？


3 A.M., I couldn't sleep because I had coffee at  9 PM.As I was about to go to bed, this quiz made me laugh out loud!I just took the "What is your inner color?" quiz. I'm not a quiz-person. But it's fun! I browsed what other quizzes they have.


And I found this quiz: What language should you learn? http://www.blogthings.com/whatlanguageshouldyoulearnquiz/

And the result is............. 

You Should Learn Chinese 
Surprised?
You shouldn't be -
Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.
You're a natural entrepreneur,
and a billion people are waiting to do business with you!

真的吓死我了~~~
无语了~~ Speechless....
I was thinking that it should be English or Spanish, 

太好了，太好了！！！ 我爱汉语！！
太cool了！I do love Chinese!

March 31, 2011_my 1st presentation in Chinese

I woke up early today, planned to finish the last 2 chapters of Chinese book I'm studying before our trip to Guilin. I just sipped my coffee, thanking God for the warm weather, checking on FB, when my phone rang and disturbed my peaceful morning.

Knowing that the presentation was a 中期考核~zhongqikaohe， 'mid-term exam', which I know is very important during your study as a grad-student in China I went to the class. I saw all of the teachers and students eyes were stared at me and my Thai friend when we finally came.

The teachers had no idea why we were so 随便, we were 1.5 hours late, then we walked out from the classroom, and one Chinese friend told one teacher that she needs to teach us how to do a 'zhongqikaohe' presentation. Errr... 

Friend of Sa told us 4 parts that we need to present. The 1st part was the hardest one, I still don't get it until now. The translator program said that it's something related with "political views". Humph, I'm nobody in political area, I think. Then the Chinese students had a debate whether the international students need to present this section or not, and how to explain it to us. At last they asked the teacher and the teacher said that we don't need to do a presentation with slides, and all they want to hear is my achievements in 1.5 years. 

I decided to do it in Chinese. 1st-ly, to make sure that all the audience can understand better than if I speak in English without any text written, though I'm quite sure I might mispronounce some words. 2nd-ly, I want to test my Chinese level, good chance! 
Here is what I said:

大家好，

我叫Lisa， 是印度尼西亚留学生。 我的导师是李宗军教授。 来中国留学已经一年半了。我学完了29学分，成绩也不错，每一门课有90多的成绩。 
我也跟老师参加了几个factory visits，还跟同学们常常一起去玩儿， 一起去吃饭。 我觉得我和同学们的关系很好，我们能互相帮助，他们帮我学汉语，还帮我用我不认识的一些machines。 我帮看看他们的英文abstract。
我已经学了小论文，现在李老师还在看一看，一看完，就送到 food science journal。 我的实验有四个部分。第一是用不同的温度保存草鱼，这一部分已经做完了，结果不错，论文差不多写完了。 第二是用不同的preservatives 和它们的浓度保存，这部分也做完了。 第三四部分是用高压，还没开始做。 我应该去中国农大，在那边做做。我的老师跟中国农大已经联系好了，所以好像没什么问题。我的award是去年我被湖南省教育厅给了奖学金。
做留学也碰上了几个困难，但是老师们，同学们都热情的帮助我。 所以我可以说我喜欢在中国留学，生活很享受。 我觉得好像一句话，【生活是一个冒险】，很有意思。

谢谢大家！

Hello everybody,
My name is Lisa, I'm an Indonesian international students. My supervisor is Professor Li Zongjun. I have studied one and a half year in China, finished 29 points, my scores were good, each course was 90 or higher.
 
I also went for factory visits with some teachers, and with the students we often go to play together, and go eating together. I think my classmates and I have a good relationship, we help each other. They help me to learn Chinese, and also when I didn't know how to use some machines. I often help them to see their English abstract.
I have written a small paper, and right now it is checked by the teacher. Hope it can be published in Food Science Journal after he finished it. There are four parts in my experiment. The first one was use a different  temperature to store grass carp. This part had been done, the results were good, and paper is almost finished. The second was using different preservatives and its concentrations in fish storage. This part was also had been done. In the third and four parts high-pressure will be used, so I should go to the China Agricultural University. My teacher have contacted the China Agricultural University, so I don't have any problem until now. Hunan Provincial Education Department gave me a 2nd prize scholarship last year.
 
As a student, I have met several difficulties, but teachers, the students are warmly and enthusiastically helping me. So I can say that I like study in China and I enjoy my life here. I think it's similar to a sentence "Life is an adventure", it is interesting!

Thank you!

Thanks to Zhang Yi who publicly apologized to all the teachers for she had forgotten us. I'm touched. Thank you for being so kind to us.
