Osaka enjoys a geographical advantage that it locates near the hill and the sea, which makes it possible that it can easily get sufficient fresh seafood.Fertile inland also breeds plentiful high-quality products.Since ancient times Osaka has come first on the list to be called as “a land of fish and rice”.

Osaka is a city with long history, it’s rich and colorful dietetic culture makes this city occupy a seat in the foods of the world.This so-called “kitchen of Japan” not only includes all the Japanese regional classical cuisine but also provides a wide range of selectivity of worldwide special food.Till now Osaka still attracts people from all over the world because of its charming of “eat until you can’t walk”.

From old kaiseki cuisine, lunch dishes, to Osaka Sushi, pot noodles, rice, Add Risotto, altogether with Fish Chowder, baked scones, and fox Face Gel rice, all these contribute to the distinctive dishes beyond count of Osaka. In other words, you name it, they have it.

As a college student, when we will go into the big society, we should make us get more mature. Or I think we are difficult to adapt to the social life. Being a mature student does not mean being an old-timer. Maturity is not measured by the number of years a person has lived. Instead, they yardstick of maturity is marked by the qualities of self-denial, determination, and dependability.

130907236  Jiaxuan Jiang  Class2

Self-denial is an important quality of a mature student. The word “Self-denial” means restraining being strict with oneself. Sometimes, people define it as self-discipline which has a bias passive meaning. Self-denial is not making a lot of rules and regulations to layer upon layer to manacle oneself, but with the autonomic action to create an order for our study life. We always have great dreams, have magnificent ideals and have grand prospects; however, they are often postponed or even vanished by ourselves due to the lack of self-denial. We should put our ideas into practice. Besides, self-denial also means denying yourself and controlling your impulses. Nobody is perfect. Faced with mistakes, we should take measures to modify it and never behave impulsively.
Determination is another characteristic of a mature student .What we define determination is to take up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. Determination not only means decision but also practice. In China, there is a famous fable “the foolish old man removed the mountains”, which presents spirits of firm determination and perseverance. No good is ever done by hesitation in the world. It is known that Buffet, every time his investment will get a huge return, because he is well prepared in advance and determined what makes his pay shall be multiplied.
Although self-denial and determination are both vital, probably the most important measure of maturity is dependability. When we talk about a person who is dependable means he is worthy of reliance or trusts .If you are committed to transmit some secret documents to a company, you must be required dependable. Sometimes dependability refers to responsibility. Judging a person whether he is mature or not, responsibility is the key factor, because only the person with responsibility is worthy of being depended on.
In addition, maturity is also shown in other respects: emotional control ability, the height of the thought, and comprehensive thinking.
In conclusion, if a student who owns the qualities of self-denial, determination and dependability, he can say that he is a mature student with pride; otherwise he can’t. If you really can develop the three qualities, you really comprehend the meaning of maturity. The road to the maturity is like the road to the peak. We did something wrong and, soon, were punished. We faced difficulties and conquered them. We succeeded in stepping on the top and enjoyed it.

Auschwitz is not only a city, it can be a period of unforgettable history, can be a profound memory, also can be a never-ending elegy.

By.hangyang 130306129 Class 1

The second world war brought most of the countries in the world can never indelible memory, Auschwitz is quietly standing in the long river of history, warned that people cannot forget. Auschwitz is Poland’s only more than 40000 residents of a town in the south. During the second world war, the German fascist here set up its biggest – Auschwitz concentration camp. Nazi Auschwitz administration control area of 40 square kilometers, including three camps: main Auschwitz, cloth hot gold camp, Emolument’s camp.Moulmein, camp, including 40 small camps, distribution of the Silesian region in southern Poland.

Nearly 6000 people lost their lives here every day, some people are used to do medical experiment, some people from hunger, fatigue, dead tired, and most of the people into each appearance seems to be the gas Chambers of the bathroom. Being deceived by the jews, that they carry all the goods were empty, even wear clothes, shoes and hats, rings, earrings and hair, teeth and skin will be stripped. In the different of the martyrs memorial gallery, Nazi Germany before finally dislodged the remains of the victims: 7.7 tons of hair, 14000 people of woven blankets, 350000 pieces of omen’s clothing, 4 Wan Sichuan shoes, 5000 pairs of shoes, there are mountains of tableware, mouthwash, razor, shoe polish, glasses and write the name of the trunk. 35 Auschwitz has built special warehouse used to store classification from the prisoner steal stolen goods.

Auschwitz sunshine always special beautiful, neat buildings, clean streets.On the factory gates’ labor is freedom. If not we know its history, it’s really just a quiet small town, a free people, real life.When we entered the Auschwitz concentration camp, however, the unfolding of gruesome pictures, the broken board, the opposite a large bathroom, that past ferocious crematorium, all in telling it. There is nothing new in Auschwitz, only the past of cruelty. When people curious, came to this beautiful city, tend to be disappointed, because it carries the history of too heavy, so that even in the sun for decades, and when people enter the Auschwitz concentration camp again, still with a shudder.
That history has let a person to read, well, in the ruins we see the blooming daisies. Poles with their hands to rebuild the city, let the flower of hope on this land.

I am living in Spain, Bullfighting is the most traditional of Spanish Fiestas. The Spanish people consider this art forms which are intimately linked with their country’s history, art and culture.  Pressure groups attempt to lobby against bullfighting yet the King of Spain himself has allegedly stated that the day the EU bans bullfighting is the day Spain leaves the EU.

Bullfighting can be traced back to ancient days. This art popular spectacles in ancient Rome, but it was in the Iberian Peninsula that these contests were fully developed by the Moors from North Africa who overran Andalucia in AD 711. Bullfighting developed into a ritualistic occasion observed in connection with feast days, on which the conquering Moors, mounted on highly trained horses, confronted and killed the bulls.

Romero’s grandson, Pedro Romero, developed all the passes and moves which to this day are seen at a bullfight. He retired in his eighties after killing more than 5,600 bulls without ever being hurt. Thus Ronda is considered the home of bullfighting.

Bullfighting season in the Spain is March to October. In bullfighting season, there are two games will be held every Thursday and Sunday. If it is in the festival and National Day, people can watch it every day.

You can visit the bullring in Ronda which houses a small bullfighting museum. The bullfighting season in Ronda is from April to October though fights are quite infrequent. Check with the tourist office next to the bullring.

Spanish people are enthusiastic and full of passion, they all love bullfight very much. Bullfighting is a unique scene of Spain and it is famous in the world. Although people are dispute this activity from the point of view of animal protection, but as the traditional festival in the Spain, it also welcomed by many people.

Cattle show in Spain also gradually lost past scenery, appearing twilight scene. In July 2001, Spain announced a ban on sales of dead male beef in the market. But selling bull beef is the main income of the cattle-breeders, the ban means that they will be unable to afford the high cost of domesticated and give up raising bulls. Even the world famous Spanish bullfight there will be no bull fights. Bullfighting is the traditional program of Spain, and other countries seem to haven’t carry out this project.

People always feel like that Spanish bullfight very cruel, but today there is a another view about the bull: with respect to pulled the us to the slaughterhouse directly, let us struggled with the Matado may be more humane. Because in this process, as a bull, we can also like a man with honor and soul. Since we destined to be eaten by human beings, why not let us have the opportunity to take revenge?”

What will foodies call to mind if you refer to Italy? They will make a long list including pasta, spaghetti, tiramisu, cappuccino, espresso, and don’t forget the most famous dessert, gelato. Gelato is not only a dessert but a delicacy, a cuisine, a feast, it reveals the passion for life.

 By: Ruiyin Fang 120909123 Class2 

Italian will not feel pleasant if you equate gelato with ice cream. As a featuring food in Italy, it is different from ice cream. Ice cream can be classified into three kinds by fat content and sweetness: ice cream, gelato and sorbet. Ice cream is an American style with higher fat and sugars while sorbet contents none fat and lowest sugars, gelato makes a balance between the other two.

If you compared gelato with ice cream, you will find the former is more natural and healthier . More sugars and cream are added into ice cream to make it tastes sweet, creamy and softy. The ingredients of gelato are eggs, milk, sugar, as well as fresh fruits and nuts, handcraft makers try their best to keep the quintessence of fruits. The sweetness you taste is from the fruit itself instead of extract of fruit. Image if gelato is growing out like a plant,you will find the taste of it should be like this.

Differ from the ice cream produced on flow lines, gelato is made by handcraft maker. Every handcraft maker inherits the traditional family workshop and the skill of making gelato from father and grandfather. Every 5000 people own a gelateria (gelato workshop in Italian), you can find a gelateria that has a history of a hundred years in a corner of city. Those handcraft makers follows the traditional way and keep a small production, the recipes varies according to the mood of maker. Thus, gelato reveals thepersonality styles. No wonder someone says that you cannot find exactly two same gelato in the world.

“Making gelato have to get up early everyday with great passion,” said Silvana, the handcraft maker of a famous gelateria, “I began to make it since 1948. Still, I can’t wait to produce it every day I get up, coz I enjoy the process of producing.” Her words revealed an attitude different from profit-seeking food industry. Gelato is not only a way to make a living but a passion to life.

No matter in China or other countries, the shop assistant of ice cream shop scooping out a round ice cream ball that you can figure out through mathematical formulas, but who cares the shape! But in a gelateria, the young Italian girl stirs the gelato with something like a shovel, and then daubs it on the ice cream cone. Daubs, yes! Just like the artist daub the paint on the paper, the gelato is just like a soft colorful cloud, a blooming flower, who can deny that it is a work of art?

If you visit a century-old shop in winter, you will find it is still thrive in such cold weather, everyone holds a gelato cone in hand, speaking various languages, laughing, just like a big party. Italian enjoy the life with pasta, opera, beach and sun, and the gelato. Gelato reveals an attitude of Italian, full of passion and enjoy life. This kind of food is fragile and  melt fast, you have to pause your steps to focus on your gelato. When you enjoy your gelato under sunshine, you are snatching a bit of leisure from a busy schedule.

You can got more information about the history of gelato if you are interest in it.

There are thousands of books in the bookstore, and you may find it difficult to choose a good book. I will tell you how to make it easy.

By: Mengyi Lu 120905338 Class2

If you go to the bookstore, you will find thousands of books sitting on the bookshelf. You look at them, but don’t know which one to choose. It’s hard to tell a book is good or not just through its name. I’ll share some experience about how to select a good book with you.

When I was in primary school and junior school, our teacher would give us a list of classic books and suggested us to buy one or two. I really don’t like to read classic books at that time. They are old, boring and hard to realize. But why are they been recommended by so many people if they are worthless. You can’t deny that those classic books have stood the test of time. If you really have trouble in reading classic books, maybe you can wait. I remember a scholar once said that he didn’t like reading Analects of Confucius when he was young, but he finally accepted it in his middle age.

I don’t like reading books when I was a little girl. I began to love reading books after I read a book written by Yingtai Long. Then I bought all her books to read. What I want to say is when you are attracted by a book, it’s a good idea to buy the author’s other books. You will not only read her or his other good work, but also know more about the author’s style of writing. If a writer wrote an excellent book, then her or his other books won’t be very bad in general. I used this method to select books, and it worked every time.

In order to sell more books, sometimes the publisher will put advertising slogans on the cover of the book. It is not wise to believe the slogans entirely, sometimes they are exaggerated. So who will give you a honest review of a book, I think is our teacher and other readers who have read the book. Moreover, sometimes your favorite writer would quote sentences or stories from other books. I suggest you to read those books, because that means as your favorite writer seems highly of those books, those books are worth reading.

I once watched a TV program about reading books. Some people recommended the books they read. I remember there was a reading club, members of the club gathered once a week to share feelings of the book. If there is a reading club around you, try to join it. You will make friends with people who have the same hobby with you, and you will be able to select a proper book after the gathering.

Sometimes, you don’t know a writer until he or she win a prize in literature. I didn’t know Mo Yan before, but after he won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, I bought all his novels. After I read his work, I finally realized that he deserved it. So if you have trouble in choosing books, it’s a good idea to read a prize-winning work sometimes.

With the development of the Internet, there are different kinds of websites provide help for different people. Goodreads is a website created for people who love reading books. Thousands of books are listed on the website. Once you click the cover page of the book, you will see a brief introduction of the book. And there are lots of comments written by other readers below to help you decide whether the book is worth reading or not. What’s more, there are some tips which make Goodreads cleverer.

First, you can add friends to see their latest reads. Reading is more fun when shared. Second, you can rate books you’ve read to get recommendations. Rate 20 books and Goodreads will learn your tastes. Third, you will be able to find and add books to your shelves. Search by title, author, ISBN, or list.

In a word, although there are millions of books in the world, you will always find the proper one for yourself as long as you try to. I think reading books is very important in my life. A good book is just like a teacher who can impart me knowledge. I have used the methods above to select myself proper books, I hope my methods can help you too.
