I'm gald to see the improvement of my spoken English.

 Tonight I went to Mr Mai's, and talked with Kay and Gene. They are Americans I think. They are volunteers for Mr Mai's. As the conversation went on, I could take the initiative. I didn't care whether they are native-speakers or not, I talked with them as equal counterparts. Our topic varied from 'Gather rosebuds while ye may' to my kappa T shirt. Gene said that rosebuds not just meaned the flower, that it represented more than that. I said:'It's a metaphor.' Gene eyes shone and said it was just the word he was going to say and couldn't remember it. I thought later that maybe they stayed in China so long and forgot their own language because of lack of practise.

  The conversation went on and till the time of closing it continued. I never knew I could communicate with them so fully.

    Athough sleeping well, eating well, and studying well, in a normal peaceful mood as usual, I sometimes say to myself 'life is not fucking easy'.

    Happiness and misery always come hand in hand. A dream comes true, while a big amount of money I cann't afford must be paid. I has a heavy burden on my shoulders actually. Li Bai said, money that spent before would find me again. I am deeply convinced by that kind of theory. But the problem is I don't have the money to spend. I have to borrow it. My poor classmates suffer a lot I think. They often refuse and some generously say yes. Those yes people donate a part of the fund I need. Trickles gathers and a stream flows. That's the game I play. I really own a big thanks to them, all those people I asked for money. The moment I ask I feel obliged to them.

    But things don't go well. Nightmare comes. She demanded money. She said it was justified in claiming

 Things happens these days really confused me. It blinded my eyes.

   红楼组曲可谓一绝！王立平先生几年功夫换来了这样的经典，我辈之福。

  《晴雯歌》、《题帕三绝》、《枉凝眉》、《葬花吟》、《秋窗风雨夕》等。原本以为皆为郑绪岚原唱，现在才知道原来另有高人---陈力。一个陌生的名字。从百度里搜来她的曲子，曲子虽因技术原因，音质不能和现在有的APE格式的相比，但透出的感情却更为动人。更巧的是发现了一首洞箫版的《晴雯歌》，不禁叫绝，不见一丝矫揉造作，一副浑然天成的模样。现将链接奉上，供各位看官品评。

    最近对《红楼梦》起了兴致，不仅把以前怎么也提不起兴致的央视红楼梦看了个遍，还天天晚上等着央4的百家讲坛刘心武将红楼梦的节目。着实把《石头记》给好好的了解了一下。刘心武比较注重《石头记》作者所生活的大时代政治背景分析，也不无道理，考证考据，从社会角度理解曹雪芹，理解《石头记》还是有好处的。

   新华网快讯：铁道部新闻发言人王勇平10日说，2007年春运铁路火车票票价将不上浮。

   这个消息算是个新闻。

   我的感觉，春运期间这么多人乘车，商场里买东西，买的人多了是降价才对，而在火车票却大幅上涨。一直很不理解这样的事情。国家垄断部门把垄断当作收入的工具，而不是为大众服务，这个制度一直就不合理，但是时间长了，大家也就习惯了。可毕竟还是有些人看到了不合理，也一直在努力争取。
