With The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug showing, The song I See Fire become popular around the world. Many people in China began to knew this talented singer, Ed sheeran. The interesting thing is lots of Chinese people already heard his song in 2011, but few of them know the song was made by Sheeran. In 2011, Sheeran’s music video Lego House was popular in China, people all liked it and shared it on the Internet. Somehow most of them said “Whoa! Ron turned to a singer now! And his voice is very nice! ”. They believed that this song was made by Rupert Grint, the one who act as Ron Wesley in Harry Potter.

It’s a funny mistake which result from the complicated story in the video. The video’s narrative at first portrays Grint as Sheeran, performing such activities as writing lyrics for the song on a pad of paper, lounging in his tour bus, and ultimately taking the stage for a cheering crowd. However, after Grint takes the stage and is immediately tackled by security, it is slowly revealed that Grint is actually a doppelganger of Sheeran and an obsessive fan, and that the events of the video were actually him stalking the real Ed Sheeran with increasing severity and mental instability (writing the song was actually transcribing the lyrics from the album cover, and lounging in the bus was him breaking into it), ending with Sheeran and Grint meeting as Grint is forcibly removed from a music venue and Sheeran comes out of an elevator.
Besides, Rupert and Sheeran looks so similar to Chinese people. So they strongly believes that this song was made by Rupert. The music video was so popular on the internet. Ironically, they even not know who is the real singer.
But to fans of Taylor Swift, Sheeran ‘s name may be more familiar. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift’s fourth album,Red. And he spent much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Taylor Swift’s Red Tour. They are amazing partner and have a great cooperation.

At the 2013 Grammy Awards, The A Team was nominated for Song of the Year. And he performed the song in duet with Elton John during the ceremony. They showed us a perfect cooperation and taken a different The A Team to us. Through the ceremony, more people in China knew Sheeran.
In 2014, Sheeran’s song I See Fire had a great success in China. Till that, much of people started to know him and search his name on google. Then they realized that Lego House was made by Sheeran rather than Rupert Grint. This talented singer-songwriter from British surprising Chinese with his amazing songs. His songs are mixed folk songs, pop , new wave and hip hop beast. It makes his songs so touching. And his voice just like your love whisper to you. No wonder people will like his songs. There is no question that he will become a new super star in the future. We are looking forward to more great songs from him.




Town of Murals


Sheffield in Australia was a relatively backward area. However, the residents of Sheffield revitalized their homeland by Art. After discussing how to reform and innovation, at last some residents proposed to develop the tourism in order to attract more people to come. An inventive style of Art—Draw mural painting came up later. With the remarkable improvement and great effort, the town has realized its blueprint.

By: LanYing Huang 130907216 Class2
Inspired by the story of Chemainus, a small Canadian town that had through mural art, rescued itself from ruin, the Kentish Association for Tourism (KAT) worked valiantly on the vision to combine the arts and tourism to revive and reinvent the town of Sheffield.
Sheffield has become a major tourist attraction due to it being promoted as a “Town of Murals”,[5] based upon the instrumental contributions of the Kentish Association for Tourism (currently known as Sheffield Inc) and local tourism pioneer Brian Inder.
The first town mural was painted in Sheffield in December 1986. Since then over 60 murals depicting the area’s rich history and beautiful natural scenery are painted on walls scattered throughout the town and buildings along the roadside. The murals attract an estimated 200,000 people to the town annually.
In the heart of Sheffield, there are a number of studios open to the public where visitors can watch the artists as they do their work. There are artists of every discipline, including photography, fine art, glass, woodcraft, pottery, ceramics and specialised crafts.[8]
The International Mural Fest art competition has been held annually since 2003 and returns in April each year. A poem is selected which the artists use as their inspiration. After each competition the 9 finalist murals remain on display at Mural Park for approximately 12 months until the next competition.[9] In 2012, an interactive mural and workshops were added to the artistic activities of the festival for the Mural Fest 10th anniversary celebrations.

Murals can be a relatively effective tool of social emancipation or achieving a political goal. Murals have sometimes been created against the law, or have been commissioned by local bars and coffeeshops. Often, the visual effects are an enticement to attract public attention to social issues. State-sponsored public art expressions, particularly murals, are often used by totalitaruan regimes as a tool of mass-control and propaganda. However, despite the propagandist character of that works, some of them still have an artistic value.
Murals can have a dramatic impact whether consciously or subconsciously on the attitudes of passers by, when they are added to areas where people live and work. It can also be argued that the presence of large, public murals can add aesthetic improvement to the daily lives of residents or that of employees at a corporate venue.

Other world-famous murals can be found in Mexico, New York, Philadelphia, Belfast, Derry, Los Angeles, Nicaragua, Cuba and in India.

Keep senior three students healthy and happy


In China, the competition of the college entrance examination is very intense. Senior three students should do a lot of homework and they often get pressure from their parent’s and teachers’ expectation. So those senior three students who are eager for entering into a famous college study hard under huge pressure. They usually eat food optionally, even ignore meals and sleep very late.I think it’s time to tell something about how to make students to keep themselves healthy and happy in their senior three. 

By: Luyi Bao 130908237 Class2

Keep_senior_three_students_healthy_and_happy

First of all, I want to share you with my experience in senior three, since I have entered in college. When I was in senior three, I didn’t have a good lifestyle. I think this is material for teaching by negative example. During a period of senior three, everyday I did my homework till twelve o’clock in the evening, even later. After then, I felt tired and exhausted in the second day. I couldn’t make concentration on class, so I fall asleep. I missed what the teacher said in class. This is a vicious cicle. In addition, I often ate snacks and junk foods like Mcdonald’s、KFC and pizza. So I became fatter and lost balance of nutrition. Many students like me got ill and they got stomachache because of irregularity of eating meals. The condition of body will influence study. If you don’t have a health lifestyle, it’s difficult for you to do a good job on study. Now , I want to give you some advice to keep you healthy and happy in your study life.

Sleep: Sleep is very important. No matter you finish your homework or not, you’d better sleep before 11 pm. Then you can get up earlier to continue doing your homework. It will have good effect If you do like that. Maybe some people will ask me that why they cannot sleep late and get up later. Why I didn’t recommend you to do so? It’s different, because your body will have rest when it is 11 pm, you have to sleep too at that time. Then your body can work better the next day. You can also be energetic in your class. Plenty of sleep time can make you yield twice the result with half the effort.

Diet: First, you should eat full. Some students especially girls, they may take this opportunity to lose their weight. They will go on a diet. This is absolutely wrong! You should intake enough nutrition you need. However , you cannot eat too much. You can eat more fruits on account of fruit is very nutritious and it can make you full. More, you cannot eat junk food everyday. Maybe you can eat what you like once a week such as hamburgers、pizza、french fired and so on. To snacks like chocolate and sugar, you can eat them whenever you want, but remember to be moderate. Health diet can keep you a good condition to study.

What parents can do? Many parents like to ask this question. I think parents can prepare elaborate meals for children and when they are doing homework , maybe you can bring them some fruits and milk to make them relax. Parents should support their children.

To sum up, enough sleep and health diet is very important in senior three. Hope you a health and happy life in senior three and enter into your ideal university.
And this is the website I know that have some ways and advice for your learning.

Why Hollywood’s movies do better than Chinese ones?


Why_Hollowood's_Movies_Always_Do_Better_Than_Chinese_Ones
Nowadays, the movies’ markets whether in China or some foreign countries are developing rapidly. The movie industry is getting hot all over the world. However, some Chinese audiences always complain that the movies which made by Chinese teams are not as good as those made by Hollywood’s teams although the comprehensive national strength of China is gradually improving, for example, actor selection, special effects, film promotion and so on, especially in some action movies and fiction films. As far as I am concerned, money, technology, history and so on bring out this situation.

By:Keren Huang 130306243 Class2

As we all know, Hollywood movie world started in 1911(Maybe American began to make films before 1911) and it got its”Golden Ages”in 1930s. Obviously, the movies which made by Hollywood’s teams are always regarded as the “high quality product” by movie lovers. Although Chinese Started making movies in 1905, but the “Golden Ages”of Chinese movies hasn’t come yet. To be honest, the war, the poverty in the old society made people don’t have the spare energy to care about the development of movies. So, as for history aspect,Chinese movies are worse than Hollywood’s ones.

Money also plays an really important role in the film making. Both China and America are economic heavyweights. However, while making films, Chinese will spend most of the money on the actor’s(eapecially the cheif actor&actress) salary. As a result,the director don’t have much money on film’s making and propaganda. So,most of Chinese movies only released in Chinese mainland. On the contrary, Hollywood’s movie maker will spend most of the money on the movie making and propaganda. Before a Hollywood’s movie release, the director and actors in the movie may will do some propaganda in most continents of America and even go to Europe, Asia, Oceania to propaganda. And these movies may will release all over the world. So, Hollywood’s movies is popular than Chinese ones and Hollywood’s actors are more famous than Chinese actors to the audiences.

As for social aspect, Chinese government have some political limits on film making. Thus, in some ways, it limits Chinese movie makers’ imagination. Sometimes, audiences prefer the movie which break the pattern. On the other hand, the style of Hollywood’s movie making is more free than that in China.In my personal opinion, someting like “attack the president”, “against the government” which always show in Hollywood’s movies will never show in Chinese movies, however these kinds of thrilling scenes always catch the audience’s sights. As for this aspect, I think Chinese directors really miss many chances to make better films.

In addition, technology is also a assignable point. Hollywood’s fiction films really do well in the special effects. But, to be honest, Chinese’s movie technology level is nowhere near the Hollywood’s, Chinese’s special effects look a little fake and unsuitable, so while the audience are watching the film, they can’t really focus on how the story goes, instead, they always complain about the unprofessional scence making.

Compare the Chinese movies with Hollywood’s, we can figure out the weakness of Chinese ones. Only by finding the weakness can we develope the Chinese movie market more effciently. Nowadays, college students(like students in our college) start to make some micro films by themselves, by realize the weakness of Chinese movies, these college students can explore the way to overcome the difficulities so that they can make better movies.

Please remember, the future of Chinese movie belongs to the young, as long as the young explore the “new way”, the Chinese movie market will get better!(of course I hope this article can give the young some inspires and help someday)

             In china,there are all kinds of foods from different series.As we all know,the northern are feed on noodle,like dumplings、steamed bun and the southerner are feed on rice,like zongzi and other dessert,they are very delicious.In western country,they like eating beef and bread or other meat.Chinese people only have three meals during a day.But western people will have more, they have afternoon tea.

           In china,there are all kinds of foods from different series.As we all know,the northern are feed on noodle,like dumplings、steamed bun and the southerner are feed on rice,like zongzi and other dessert,they are very delicious.In western country,they like eating beef and bread or other meat.Chinese people only have three meals during a day.But western people will have more, they have afternoon tea. Usually they would have fruits, homemade cake, tea (black tea) or biscuit with cheese. If you are a housewife and have a lot of time, you may have morning tea as well.
           Also,there is also a huge difference between Chinese and Western people. Chinese people use chopsticks and western people use fork and knife. Usually people who use fork and knife will use fork to hold the meat and cut it by knife and use fork to help to get that piece of meat into mouse. Chinese just use chopstick to pick things and pass it into your mouse.In addition,Chinese people choice food very carefully. They only use fresh material to make food. For example they only eat fresh fish. Chinese have a lot of ideas and techniques for cooking. We can cook a chicken in over ten ways. That’s why Chinese food is so popular in the world. Western country like English or American, they don’t have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarket which only sells stored materials. Western people would also prefer fast food like burgers and chips. They are unhealthy to human body. Western people do not have many skills for cooking, mostly they only boil, steam and bake the food. By the way, western people are very good at making desert and chocolate. They can make very good cake and chocolate. They are very sweet but it’s sort of food which make you become fat quickly.
        In china if you invite people for meal, the person who invited other people would pay for the meal but it’s not the way in Western country. In western country people will think you only invited me but it’s not your responsibility to pay for me. I can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. People in China would always put dishes into customer’s plate to show their 粉针肉hospitality, but they will think it’s not healthy because your chopsticks have been used by you. In western coountry like America not England, people will always give tips to waiter after they finished meal in a restaurant. If you don’t they will not be happy because tips are one of their major income. In china this only happen in some top restaurants and hotels in large international cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
