A Letter to My English Writing Teacher

June 7, 2007
Dear Jane,
Well, we have learned the English Writing for a semester. In this semester, I think I have learned some techniques of English writing. Before I learned these skills, I just can write short articles in the form of the entrance examination. The most I have learned is the structure. Before, I always write any words which came into my mind. It was so terrible that there was no coherence in articles. After I studying this course, I gradually realize how to build a structure before I write an article. For example, I learned “Time order” and “Space order”. On the other side, I found that I had some mistakes of writing form. For instance, I never notice the margin before, or the rules of capitalize…etc. So, I really have learned something in this semester, and I think it is good to me.
Because of the time factor, we can’t learn more about writing. I want to learn more about the writing form of some important exams such as TOFEL or TOEIC. I know that the exams are not easy for us, but it is really important to our careers. So, I think that I can learn more about this aspect.
Finally, this course is going to come over. I really want to say thank to you. Although you is a little strict, but I did leaned many is this class.

Sincerely,
Susan

Exchanged Student



I want to fly far far away.This one of the reasons that I implied the exchanged student. I really want to go far away from this place. Perhaps, I want to escape, or I want to see this world more. I am really tired about everything here. But I haveno idea about what can I do except just escape continuouslly.
Watch this sky! It's so blue that I really want to fly away into this blue sky.
I know that I am in a bad mood now, but I can't control myself.
I just want to run away now!!!!


Of course! The exchanged student is my dream. Studying abroad is the dream from my childhood until now. America is one of my favorite countries. So I think this summer I will do my best to prepare the TOFEL test.!

Avril Lavigne



Avril Lavigne is a girl who knows what she wants. And when it came to writing her eagerly awaited third album, The Best Damn Thing, she had one very clear goal in mind: To make it fun. While touring in 2004 for her last album, Under My Skin, which sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, the Canadian-born punk-pop dynamo found that her favorite songs to play were the faster, more up-tempo songs so she resolved to make a record that captured the kind of high-spirited, full-throttle energy that she loved to unleash on-stage.

The Best Damn Thing is brimming with gutsy guitar riffs, instantaneously catchy sing-along party-starting choruses, power pop punk, and rebellious rock 'n' roll attitude. It's a marked departure from the darker, more introspective tone of Under My Skin and on tracks such as the defiant, riotous, kiss-off-to-a-cheating-boyfriend "Everything Back But You", Avril took pleasure in creating scenarios for her lyrics that weren't, as she says, "straight out of my diary." The result is a collection of songs that reveal just how far she's evolved as a songwriter and singer, from the sassy, empowering "I Can Do Better" (one of Avril's personal favorites) to the irrepressible first single "Girlfriend" which unexpectedly combines a hip-hop beat with beefy power chords, hand-claps, and a chanted girl-group-style chorus with a punk rock twist to the emotional ballad "Keep Holding On", which she wrote at the request of 20th Century Fox for the studio's fantasy/adventure film Eragon.

As an artist with a keen and well-trained ear for powerful, magnetic pop melodies, Avril was intensely involved in every aspect of The Best Damn Thing's creation: From being fiercely independent while writing her own songs ("I didn't have an A&R guy on this record," she emphasizes. "I knew exactly how I wanted it to sound."), to choosing her producers and musical collaborators, to obsessively going back and tweaking guitar tones and drumbeats in the studio, she worked hard to ensure that it would be her best record yet.

The album features the production skills of Butch Walker (who has also produced The Donnas, American Hi-Fi, and Avril's second album, Under My Skin), Dr. Luke (Pink, Lady Sovereign), Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Goo Goo Dolls), and her husband Deryck Whibley (from Sum 41). The process turned out to be a blast: "I didn't know making a record could be so fun," she says. She was eager to work with her good friend Butch again, as she says, "What's great about Butch is that he's a talented artist as well as being an incredible producer." And about collaborating with Dr. Luke, she adds, "Luke and I had a really good connection and chemistry." The relaxed atmosphere in the studio comes across in the songs themselves . Avril's laughter rings out in "I Can Do Better", and in "Girlfriend" you can hear her, she says, "playing a beer bottle" (by blowing into it) in the last few choruses.

Four of the songs on The Best Damn Thing "Innocence", "Hot", "One of Those Girls", and "Contagious" were co-written with Avril's former bandmate Evan Taubenfeld. "Evan is one of my best friends in the world," she says, affectionately. "He's been with me since day one."

Of course, all of the spiky, buoyant energy that drives the album will come to life in the live show that Avril is planning for her tour later this year. She has assembled a new band, and is even bringing along two dancers ("I'm doing choreographed dancing for the first time ever," she grins. "It's going to be such a blast").

A great deal has happened in Avril Lavigne's life since she released her debut album, Let Go, in 2002, when she was 17 years old. That album snagged 8 Grammy nominations and four Juno Awards (including Album of the Year and New Artist of the Year), spawned the anthemic hit singles "Complicated", "Sk8ter Boi", and "I'm With You", and sold more than 16 million copies world-wide. Under My Skin cemented the Napanee, Ontario native's superstardom, entering U.S., Canadian, and U.K. charts at #1, unleashing smash singles "Don't Tell Me" and "My Happy Ending", and collecting three more Juno Awards along the way. In 2006, Avril married Sum 41's Deryck Whibley and branched out into acting, appearing in Richard Linklater's Fast Food Nation and lending her voice to the Dreamworks animated film Over the Hedge.

She may be a bit more sophisticated these days, but she's still peerless, and still fearless. The Best Damn Thing is Avril Lavigne at a new stage in her life; she's passed through the shadows of teen angst and emerged in a spotlight, ready to have fun and rock out and yes, even dance. It is, just as she intended, the best damn thing she's ever done.

She is so beautiful and sciential. I really like her so much!!!xxx

Describe About This Photo



Look this photo! It’s really beautiful! A boy and a girl are leaning to each other back by back. They are seems to thinking about different things, without talking. But I think there exists some special affection between them. They must trust each other. Otherwise, they are perhaps shy to express their emotions. Anyway, there looks so enjoy about this happiness.
There are sitting on the grass field, and near by them is a tree. The tree has some branches, but it’s so spares. I think the tree is symbolized the boy and the girl’s borderline affection.
Behind them is a river, the water there is clarity. It’s face is so green that I want to jump into swimming. There are also mountains around the river. The mountains are so riotous and it extends to far away.
This photo is so pretty, and it’s composition is really poetic and pictorial splendor. This is really affecting to me.

SpongeBob



This my favorite cartoon! It's so cute, isn't it? Ha! This is his details following!
SpongeBob SquarePants
Oh...who lives in a pineapple under the sea?...SpongeBob SquarePants! Absorbent and porous and yellow is he...SpongeBob is a sweet, generous, friendly, trusting good guy. His buck-toothed grin and tremendously expressive face and body, along with his pure and good nature make him completely loveable. SpongeBob's innocent and good intentions never let him do anything purposely wrong or harm anyone. His boss Mr. Krabs & next door neighbor Squidward seem to be the brunt of his misadventures. He is the fry cook at the Krusty Krab working alongside Squidward. His free time is spent with his buddy Patrick, his friend Sandy and his pet snail Gary. He especially enjoys catching jelly fish at jellyfish fields. When his pineapple home is destroyed by nematodes, a single SpongeBob tear magically recreates his home from a tiny seed in just a few seconds. No wonder we love him.
