There are a lot of technology been used in our society such as TV internet drying machine. With the improvement of those technology, people live a high quality of life. everyone loves Internet, and use it for education, chat, games, work and other entertainments. I think the greatest ability of human being is create new tech and staff. nowadays, college students have the chance to use computers and wireless net in campus which are convinient and useful. We could pay fees online without going to the office. what's more, we could ask questions by using the Internet technology. technology is not only been used in education field but also in sports. athletes are trained by high tech method or they wear high tech equipment which could give them better performance in the competition. For example, basketball players waer high tech shoes. those shoes might avoid injure and make them faster. In

music is a important element in my life, I listen to music everyday and sing songs everyday. When I am taking a shower I always singing, when I am walking i always singing. music has the magic to change my mood. When i m upset, I will listen to a happy song or just do a freestyle dance with the music. I don't have a favorite type of music, I love soul music and also like rock music. I love Hip hop when we r dancing or in a party. I also like classic music such as piano and virolin. I played piano when I was a little child, and played guitar for fun. I have attended many singing competions. I also love watching dance. My favorite dance crew is Jabbawockeez, the champion of America best dance crew. music makes me senstive and opmistic.

movie is a important entertainment in our life, most movies are function, but some a real stories. I love to watch movies which have good stories, and I like different kinds of movies such as comedy, war, story, and .... I like american movies such as Forrest Gump, Shawshenk, the Terminal and so on. This movies have good music and the actors performed fantastic. When I was a little child ,I like kongfu movies. I like jackie chen and jet lee very much. They brought Chinese culture to the world and have great achievements. Then, I prefered comedy movies, Chinese comedy and American comedy have a lot of differences. Chinese comedy are funny in the words and speaks whlreas US are exgraven? and have many unbelieveble moves. Whtat's more, my favorite movie stars is Tom Hanks. He always makes his role perfect and terrific. Also I like Will Smith, he is a hot and high skilled, I like his style, he could be a comedy and also can be a very serioue role.

I usually study at library or classrooms. I have a higher efficiency there than at home. In the library, all the people are reading or do their homework so that I can focus on my work. If I study at home there a lots of distractions. Library has a very good condition to calm down and enjoy your reading, I mean it is a quite place and very clean.I don't care if there are many people in the same room, that would not bother me so much. I like finishing all my work then back to dome, because I think dome is a place for rest and relax. In the library, I can study with my friends, and discuss questions. We also could study alone. There are many choices. I can use the computer there to do research or find the book I need easily. The light there is also good for study. You can borrow a book, and read it to relax when you get bored or tired. What's more, the library allows you to stay for a long time, you can study through night to prepare an exam. I really don't know other reasons why

last weekend was the mom's weekend of OU. Everybody's mom came to the campus and visited their children and had fan. It was a very special activity that I have never seen before in China. All the american students went out with their mom's and their friends, and it was really sweet. My friends katie's mom came to our residence hall and they really had a good time. There were a lot of fun at court street, at the saterday night, everybody were hanging out there. Mom joined the parties with students and that was pretty interesting. However, as a international student, I didn't have the chance to meet my mom at this fest. My friends told me that they understood my feeling. Yes, it was a little bit a sad about that. and I really hope I could introduce my mom to them. I talked to my mom on internet, and she said she was sorry about that she couldn't come. Sometimes it is lonely for us to live in America, but it is also give

OU is famous for its party, especially at spring time. There are many interesting fests in the spring quarter. I went to the high fest and palmer fest. High fest is on the high street. Almost all the house on that street held a party at that day. People went to there, drink and talking. It was my first time to attend a america party. I was excited and knew a lot of new friends which are really nice. I think it is a good way to relax and recreate. I want to talk about the palmer fest, the biggest party in spring. Everybody was crazy at that time. My friends brougt me to the Palmer street to join it and I was shocked by the people there. They were really happy and had a lot of fun. Polices ride horses to secure. Some young students got arrested because of the bad behaviour. At night people make fire, and cheered around the fire. They shouted: OU OU OU OU all the time. Polices let the people back because they afraided that accidents would be caused by those drunk people. It was totally unbelievable for me.

my ideal way to learn is to dicuss it in group. First, I would like to listen to the teacher's speech and take some notes. Then, I would review the notes and write some questions. It is very helpful to use internet to search the answers of these questions because you can learn more about the topic and broad your knowledge. the steps above are the foundation of a interesting discussion that may help students obtain more about the topic. In the discussion, one can explain their own thought and meet the agreement with others.

I am excited about the summer, I went to baker to fill the form because I will go home at June 15th. I can't wait to see my family and friends, I guess they miss me too. I will eat many chinese food this summer, and have a trip. I decided to go to shanxi and henan province with my friends. I expect to see Xi'an, a historical city in China. After that we will go to the waterfall in Shanxi provice. After the trip I will stay with my family for a couple of days. We probably will do something interesting at home or go to see my grandfater. I also would work in summer. I found a job in a newspaper company, and I think it is good for me because my major is communication. That's my plan for summer.
