First Poster!


Because my the final test of the speaking class is the presentation, and the teacher wanted us to make the poster. Actually, this is my first time to do the poster. I have no idea to do that. In China, we don't have the presentation in the high school. In college, we always use the PowerPoint to explain our projects. So I asked my boyfriend to be my teacher until I finish the poster. He is so nice and he taught me so many things. If I can't make the poster a little formal, we can make that be funny! I went to some website to find some pictures and printed them. Like I use the head of Hello Kitty to pretend a human. I printed the characters more funny and colorful. Because my presentation's topic is talking about the Dragon Boat Festival, and this festival is used to remember Qu Yuan, who was the hearo for the people in the old China. I made a funny dead body as him. He was died in the river, the people didn't want the fish eat the Qu Yuan's body, and make more zongzi to make the fish full. Then they can't eat the body.

It was so funny. I draw a sharp and made the sharp so funny. You can see the Picture. I will keep this poster, because this is my first poster!

By the way, I know somenoe in the reading class is my classmate in the speaking class. Do not copy my poster! Or I will...........

How You Can Do to Improve Your Brain


The Brain is the information center of our body, it controls our actions, our thinking and how we can communicate with other people. With we are getting older and older, our brain will get useless. You can find you will get harder to remember somethings or too weak to carry somethings. In case our brain gets older, I have some ideas to improve our brain.

1. Do more exercise. You can find the person who always running is more smart that the person who always sit in front of the computer. It will help you to rotate your brain.

2. Eat more fish. The fish contain the omega-3. It is benefit for our heart. It can help us to strong our brain and make us easily to focus on the things.

3. Memory. Try to find some pictures of your childhood and recall the memory of that time.

4. Reading. Read some useful books and write down what you think about the book, or you can take some notes. You can keep your brain always alive. Reading can make us become maturity.

5. Communication. Talk more, and your brain get more activities. During the conversation, you can find the happy, and happy will make us to relax.
You do not want a 24's body with the 80's brain. Upgrade your brain now!

The Influence of Toys on Children


Do you remember when you first own a first toy was? I think that would be way before you owned your first book. In our childhood, we spend most of our time with our parents and toys. You will see toys are with us long before we receive a book from our school. This means a small piece of toy can change our early life. As a result, it is important to know the influence of toys on children which can be both good and bad to our early life.
Toys can be a positive influence on children. First, many toys can help children to develop their interest of learning. When children see how their parents playing a cool toy, they tend to have interest to learn how to play it. They may follow the steps from their parents or they may develop their own style to play it. This is like an early stage of learning. You have an interest on a subject, and then you will have an interest to discover how it is. Secondly, toys can help children to make friends and develop friendships. I remember when I was a kid. I bring toys with me when my mom brought me to visit her friend’s house. There maybe some kids in there. I played my toys with them and we always make friends. Third, children learn how to share. Just like my mom always said, “You have to share your toys with your brother.”
Some toys can sometimes be bad influence on children, too. Video games are good examples. Actions games with violence and blood can be a poison to our children. For example, Bio Hazard is a famous game with zombies. Children who play it may get scared from the scenes. They may learn the actions from the game. I am sure parents don’t want their children to be like this. Therefore, be careful of what your children are playing!
