杂谈

都说英国天气诡异，刚来到的头几天就见识到了：晚上接近9点天才全黑，而凌晨3点多天就亮了，这使得想尽快调整时差的我们有些应接不暇。。刚觉得外面太阳火辣辣的有点受不了，顷刻前倾盆大雨不期而遇，淋得个落汤鸡，真不是滋味。。所以说在英国外出带伞是好习惯，一天下不下个N次雨老天是不会甘心的，降水那么多，我想对空气也有一定净化作用，因而这里的环境相当舒适，空气是非常清新的。

都说英国人素质高，一点不假：排队乘公交井井有条。。在街上多看人一眼别人就会主动说“Hi”“Hello”来向你问好。。红绿灯是自己按了变的，你刚按还没等绿灯亮来车一般都主动停下让你通行。。刚开始住的乡下偏远地带街道上仍是那么的干净，以至于你的鞋穿了2个多星期光彩依旧。。市中心就不提了，莫大的街道上看不到什么垃圾垢污，仔细想找个吸烟的也着实困难。。英国人距离感比较敏锐，明明能一起过的地方他会主动让你先通行，或明明你先碰到别人，先说“Sorry”的竟然是他。。仔细看繁华地带的交通线，就能发现这里交通依然是那么的通畅，车辆虽多但从未发现过什么堵车状况，也没发现过超车，抢道等在国内司空见惯的现象。。和国内反差实在太大，因此在我们这帮人眼里这类现象甚至有点古怪，而如今国内物质文明发展起来了，而精神文明的层次还是和国外有很大距离，可谓触不可及。。

都说英国人办事效率低，我总算见识了。。就说办张银行卡吧，在中国么普通的卡直接申请登记办理一天就搞定，而这里是情况却是：过7~10个工作日把卡邮寄给你（因为上面要印你的名字等信息），再过3天，把网上银行密码邮寄过来；再等待大致3~5天，最终才收到银行卡密码。。无限制的等待，将近半个月的折磨。。就为个安全？这几天忙活的大部分时间竟然在排队上：学校注册登记，交学费，警察局注册，医疗保险。。本没多少事，每次排队都要让你等上1个多小时，心碎。。


英国人说一不二，买菜还价这种事在这里并不多见，一份价钱一份货在这里体现的特别突出，有8磅一斤的肉,也有4磅的,还有2磅多的,看起来差不多，其实就是差了半天到一天的出产日。号称四大天王的”Tesco, ”ASDA”, “Morrisons”和 “Sainsbury’s”超市我去过3个，总体感觉就是莫大的超市没几个服务人员，几乎只有柜台才能看到。。在Argos购物就更有趣，好几排长桌上放的只有玻璃纸做的书，书上翻到的任何物品都能去自动售货机里按照号码用银行卡支付，支付完毕后去柜台领取。。方便省事，快捷舒心。

Before the new term

After finishing the registration of TIC we have about one and a half weeks to be free. These days we can keep relax and have lots of time to do whatever we want to do. Originally we had a plan to have a trip to maybe London or some other places of interests in UK, but finally we gave up that idea.

Every day we just stay at our new room and do some activities around that. Usually we go shopping in the city centre and take exercises in the gymnasium which is on the ground floor of our flat. I want to be heavier and had another plan for taking exercise. Instead ”Little fat” want to lose his weight. After that we go to the swimming pool to swim. “Little fat” can’t swim at first. But after my guiding he can swim now.

I and “Little fat” bought bicycles several days ago and we can find many advantages of that now. If we want to go to the city centre, it just takes us about five minutes by bike. Unfortunately there isn’t any bicycle exclusive road for us to ride, but we can have that for fun COZ the road is always very narrow and there are so many cars and people around us. We won’t carry so many vegetables and meat ourselves, just delay on our bicycles.

These days my cooking skills have been improved very quickly. Though cooking is a great work and people should spend lots of time and energy on that, we will felt very satisfied after finishing that, especially after tasting the delicious food which is cooked by ourselves.

Tonight “Little fat” said “Prefect” in praise of the supper the fist time and I felt so happy that I’m on the top of the world.

中秋

中秋
给家人打了超过5分钟的电话
多烧了1道菜
吃了同学父母从万里之外快递过来的1/4个月饼

窗外寒风刺骨
朦胧夜色中
烟花零星炸散
散落出那点激情和思念

不忍再赏,回到房间
发现它是如此的空荡
不禁让我回想起机场那个囹圄般恐怖的地方
那承载着无数感情的集聚地

健身时碰到位中国大哥
在大不列巅经历过无数坎坷而最终成功的男人
他送我句话:什么都是假的
要好好学习,天天向上

有句话说的好
男人么,忍一忍也就过去了
多思考,有头脑
洒脱的面对未来



床前明月光
疑是地上霜
举头望明月
低头思故乡

Night Thoughts
I wake and moonbeams play around my bed
Glittering like morning frost to my wondering eyes
Upwards the glorious moon I raise my head
Then lay me down and thoughts of home arise

Relax!

Every busy work for the project has been over!
Congratulations to everyone for our victory! Most of our group members felt satisfied today and I deem that we will get a good mark in the end. Tomorrow evening there will be a party so all of us who have different nationalities will get together and then the whole five-week learners' class will be over. After about two weeks, the new term will begin. And the really challenge will wait for us.
U can see that I have changed my address now. Because in the next about nine month I will live in this new address. This afternoon I carried lots of my luggage to my new home-Opal 1 with a group of my classmates. I have got my key now and found that my new room is very good. It is not as big as recently one but the decoration of that is very exquisite. There are excellent security with CCTV, electronic access and 24 hour staff presence so I won’t worry about the security problem. I will move into this new home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Then our classmates will separate and live in different addresses. Let’s meet each others in TIC after the beginning of the new term. I will miss U all!
I should begin to make a plan for the next two weeks. Maybe a journey or just live in the new room and shopping when we are free? I have not decided that yet…

Oxford(Sep 6th)

Of all the trips have been enjoyed by us in the whole month, Oxford is the last station and the ideal place which we want to go. All of us would like to have a enjoyable day in Oxford.
Oxford, which is the city of dreaming spires, is famous all over the world for its university and over 800 years history. A majority of students from not only UK but also all over the world dream to study here. I admire the students from Oxford very much because they are represents of academic learners. They spend their most of time just studying hard and looking for truth. If a student could study here, he or she would be on the top of the world, I think.
With Oxford’s mix of ancient and modern, there is plenty for both the tourist and resident to do. When we walked along the road and took photos with so many buildings such as museums and libraries, we can feel the atmosphere of the culture and history of the old city. Though Oxford city is not big enough, there are so many attractions in it so we can’t go everywhere in the map. At first we wanted to find out the gate of the university, but when we knew that the whole city was just the university and the gate was very far away, we had to give up and walk after the guide. Then we just went to the Museum of Oxford, Radcliffe square, Christ Church and Botanic Garden. Almost everywhere towers can be seen by us. Because of that, there are many scenes of “Harry Potter” in Oxford. The whole city is filled with such a great studying atmosphere so when you are in Oxford, the feeling is very inconceivable. Actually that’s very cool.
The final organized trip was very unforgettable and we enjoyed Oxford very much. Many other good places in UK can be visited but the next time we can only have a new journey by ourselves. Maybe Scotland is the next destination of mine in Christmas. haha…

Oh no

The report has been finished by me so now I'm really very happy. If we could do well in the next Friday's presentation, we would get a ideal mark. But that's just a dream now. Eposi is not a simple teacher, I think.

Yesterday I had paid for flat renting with my classmates. I signed with Opal one so I will live in it for the whole year. The recent news I have just got from my partner "Little Fat" is that we will live with another Chinese person and two foreigners. That's fine. Actually maybe foreigners are not from UK so we will only wait for the final results. Hoping that’s two English local people!
Busy life style has been adapted by me now. Nowadays I want to make friends with more English local people. A kind guide from England has made friends with me and we can send E-mail to each other. Improving my English in a short time is very necessary now. If I can’t try my best now, communication problem will be influenced on me all the time.
Time passed by! Good luck to all of my friends!
