Get closer

       There is one lesson from the interview really impressed me that even in the Great Depression, the relationship among people were much closer than now. Although they didin't have enough food, parents tried their best to make their children get enough to eat. Brothers and sisters paid more attention than people do today.
       It really touch the deep bottom of my heart. Although the economy is rising rapidly, the relationship of people are getting further and further. People don't care about the people around them, even it is their family. People is becoming aloof. That is not what our society is supposed to be. Back to those years, without enough food to eat and enough clothes to keep warm, people get together warming each other by the heat of their hearts. That is what we should learn from them.

Pi in Denver

      I'm thinking if the main character of  the Life of Pi, Pi, is a student of ELC, there might be a lof of fun. Pi is a modest and shy boy, therefore, he will be a outstanding student. He will be curious about everthing new and makes friends with his classmate. At least, I will be pleased to be his friend becasue I can hear plenty of fascinating stories from him. Undoubtedly, the place he wants to visti in Denver must be the zoo. Although there are numerous fantasitic places to go in Denver, he was born and rised in his father's zoo, he must have some special emotion about the animals. I believe he will be a extremely nice person to make friend with. He is compassionate, kind and friendly. All of these are the characters a closed friend should be made of. Obviously, he is a completely animal fan, therefore, I think he will have a dog or cat, and he will enjoy walking his pet everyday after dinner. If Pi is really living in Denver, I will be passionate about hanging out wiht him. It must be a lot of fun.

     There is a crucial reason why we need to make a food budget. Sometimes, we spend a lot of money, which is away more than you expectation, on food, monthly. Most of us vastly underestimate how much we actually spend. When it comes to the end of the month, the expense is surprisingly high. Someone might think the expense of food is what it is and we have nothing to do with it. However, when we start to make a food budget, we will be in charge of our money easily.

     There are two main steps to make a food budget. Firstly, you need to track your daily expense specificly. Keep eveything in track and do not cheat yourself. You shouldn't ignore even one dollar because it can add up to a surprising number at the end of the month. Secondly, you make a plan on what you necessarily need to buy and cut out others you don't need. In addition, it will be a good way to save the money by making the food yourself instead of going to the restuarant.

How to Create A Monthly Budget For Food  by  Sandy Baker

Project homeless connect

   When I was told we were going to help those homeless people on last Friday, I was so excited about that. I thought it was a nice opportunity for me practice my oral English. In addition, it was also an extremely meaningful event for both of the students and homeless people. Furthermore, it is a extraordinary experience for me to sever the public. I couldn't even help thinking about it in my mind again and again. I was really looking forward to taking part in the event.

  However, when I got there on Friday morning, I found the things were a little bit out of imagination. When we walked on the sidewalk outside the convention center, I saw lots of homeless people sitting on the ground and waiting for our help. They looked so helpless and hopeless. I started to worry if I can really do something for them, am I truly helpful. I took my cell phone out, and it was 9 o'clock.

  After all the registration stuff, the guest I served occurred. It was a lady with her 4-year-old son. She checked all the services she wanted to receive first, and she sent his child to the child care center. Then, we started to make everything in the right track. But there were thousands of people there, so the line for each service was extremely long, and I did spend a huge amount of time in waiting in line. Especially for the ID service, waiting in line took us about 1 hour. Unfortunately, the lady lost her SAMSUNG cell phone. We couldn't find it in the lost and found or the counter where we thought she lost her cell phone. I saw the sadness from her eyes, it looked so frustrated and sad and I couldn't even say a word to comfort her. By the time he left, we didn't still find her cell phone. Looking at the view of her son and her, I felt so disappointed and  exhausted.

  I did learn something from those homeless people, which I will never forget. It was a meaningful but frustrating day, however, that is how life works. Life doesn't go easy on anybody.

Ronaldo

    When it is the time to have to say goodbye, who can hold it back? the summer in 1994, we still remember the 17-year-old immature face aside the World cup, that was your first time to feel the victory. Eindhoven was your beginning in Europe, we started to knew you with bunny teeth, you started your dream there. After that, you showed us you break through 5-people defence in a row, we knew the alien came. people are chasing their dreams when they are 20 years old, but you had already get everyone's admiration.  In 1998, the summer of France was unforgettable, because you knew how bitter the defeat was. You were proud of the team in Black and Blue, you significant dribbling was name after you. In Real Mardrid, we still remember the celebration for your lovers, however, soccer

Lost in Munich

     The worst news i heard during these days was Bayern beated Barcelona with a surprising 4-0. In recent years, Barcelone almost dominate the Europe in soccer, there was and there is not a team can confidently say they are able to beat Barcelona. However, what happened in two days ago makes me consider that maybe it is time Bayern to take over. On the one hand, the injuries of several key players did affect the competitiveness of Barcelona, expecialy Puyol and Mashcerano. the best player Messi also played the game with pain. However, it could be the excuse losing the game. On the other hand, Bayern showed us how strong they were. The long distance pass, shoting, passing and other satistic were better than Barcelona. They deserveed the voctory. As a fanatic fan of Barcelona, I won't be apart with Barcelona, sometimes the defeat is not a bad thing. We must know what mistakes we made and we need to find out how to fix it. Even if there is barely chance for Barcelona to go to the final, but the team Barcelona will fight till the last minute. They will be back next season.

History of Soccer

     Soccer is one of the most popular sports in Europe. However the original place of soccer is not Europe. Surprisingly, it is China. Early evidence of soccer being played as a sport finds occurrence in China during the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. In China, it was during the Han dynasty that people dribbled leather balls by kicking it into a small gate. The inventer of the soccer was a man working for Emperor, he wanted the military to play the game killing the time. Recorded facts also support the fact that Romans and Greeks used to play ball for fun and frolic. Some facts point to Kyoto in Japan where kicking of ball was a popular sport. It is said that early growth of the modern soccer started in England. Some amusing facts even mention that the first ball used was the head of some Danish brigand. It is said that during medieval times, the old form of soccer used to allow many ill practices like kicking, punching, biting and gouging. The main aim was to carry the ball to a target spot. People grew so fond of the game that they would throng the field all day long. Sometimes the competition grew fierce and masses got so wild that there were frequent incidents of violence during the game.
