There are so many stores selling this snack, but the most famous and oldest store is “Rock &Sole Plaice”. As the name indicates, this  consisted of fried fish and chips. The chips in this store are wide and long, which are extremely different from others, but fit english traditions. The fish usually chooses codes and haddocks to make, which is wrapped by flour and fried. The dish tastes not very good if you do not have condiments, such as salt, vinegar and so on.Local folks also like taking peas as an indispensable part of this dish, regarding as a kind of sauce, just like tomato sauce.

From: China

Red is the traditional colour of China, this dish represent Chinese dishes  well. The most important condiment in this dish is red pepper, which can be seen in the picture. It brings so hot taste with sweat streaming down your back when you enjoy it. Because of little white sugar added in it, the chicken tastes delicious and the quality of the chicken becomes soft. To let potatoes become more tender and achieve the target that potatoes can be dissolved in the sauce, they must be stewed in sauce for twenty minutes. Meanwhile, the flavour of chicken and potatoes can be fused better. I believe you do not want to miss it!

 

Spanish potato pastry西班牙土豆饼

Like the Spanish seafood paella and hams, the potato pastry is also one of the famous dishes in Spanish.

Except potatoes and chicken, there are many stuffs in this dish, such as carrots, snow peas and so on. Because of these various stuffs, the dish looks quite colourful and delicate. As for it’s taste, carrots and potatoes are soft and mixed the smell of chicken, which is the result of the cooking method of mixing all stuffs and braising in curry. As my opinion, it’s yummy and popular with the group of people who like potatoes and hot food.

 

Potato chanterelle soup浓汤

There is so much milk in the soup that we can smell the full-bodied milk flavor. Not only the milk, but also some butter and fish soup that make the soup more savoury.

When you are watching the film, you will find an answer. You will find that even though he is your ideal lover, there will still be a lot of problems between you. Now we are concerned based on questions from the audience to give answers.

Question 1: If you are between your lover and had some trouble, how should you deal with?
Rubin (1970) defined the love of a particular pair an attitude held by some others, in which the ingredients are: dependency needs, wants to help each other’s tendencies, exclusivity and exclusivity. If you calm down, think about this issue seriously. You will find out if you and your lover encounter itself is love category. If so, you should discuss ideas about your true inner together. If only a matter of habits on, you can solve this problem by adjusting themselves.

Question 2: Should you expect your lover because you change?
According to the survey, more than half of the people want their lover can make some changes. Let us try to imagine. You love a person, his hobby is smoking. Maybe you think that one day he will realize that smoking is harmful to health slowly away from cigarettes. Do you think that one day he will realize that second-hand smoke is hazardous to your health and give up cigarettes. Do you think that one day he will realize that in order to create a favorable environment to give up cigarettes parenting. Maybe all you want is always just you want. You love that you love him or you think he or is he you want to change? In some problems, we should do because you will not expect him to change. But you should let yourself understand him. Let yourself like complete him.

Question 3: Should you try to change your lover?

In the film Calvin first encountered the dream girl. You imagine her beautiful, pleasant and intelligent and charming. You love her very much. But when you found out that she also had depression when bored when wayward, noisy noisy when you want to understand not soothe her but she is not changing her. Of course, the movie Calvin Ruby can be changed via text typewriter. How about you? But when you do not have such a magical time and you are faced with such a situation is not looking forward to a few people, or try to change their loved it? Maybe you do not change him. You should strive to communicate with your lover. You should tell him what you think. You can listen to his ideas. Let him know his problem. He can try to change for himself.

In the process along with your lover, and you will encounter a lot of problems. Even fully meet the requirements of your lover. You have a different point of view. In fantasy, people tend to consider only one aspect. Often this aspect is good news. The thing is with diversity. When we get along with their loved ones, problems are normal. We should face the problem of reason, to understand each other with emotional, rational to solve problems. I hope the above described method can help you. In every day life, our future, and put the proposal into action. You cherish the opportunity and time to get along with your lover. Life will become better.

Will you let your own kids play e-sports in the future?


          jaedongHave you ever thought about the jobs in the future? I’d like to say something about e-sports which is brand new in our sight. Once we regard e-sports as a job, would it be a good choice?

          By:Mingying Guo 134101136 Class

Lee Jae-Dong, alias Jaedong, nicknamed The Tyrant and The Legend Killer, (born January 9, 1990) is a South Korean professional StarCraft: Brood War and StarCraft 2 player for the American team Evil Geniuses. Using the Zerg race in both games, Lee is one of the most successful StarCraft players of all time, winning five OnGameNet Starleague (OSL) and MBCGame StarCraft League (MSL) tournaments, and earning over $500,000 in tournament prize money alone through his career – the most of any professional gamer.

Although harvesting several runners-up in 2013, he still maintained a high competitive level by contrast. Nevertheless, he said in one interview, he will play games with his own child, but will not let him play it professional. Moreover, he explained the reason is “Because I have tried before, I know the pain in it. Of course, all the jobs will face the constant competition, but the pain of the e-sports is too much. I will become a dad who plays games with children, but I don’t want my own child also suffer.”

In addition, E-sports have been very popular, but not easy. In Korea, e-sports’ social recognition is not so high like what we have imagined. When the reporter says, “a lot of people say, e-sports is not a sport.” Jaedong’s answer is “Since I just have been a professional player, until now, there are still those who say that… From the perspective of the history of e-sports’ market, it is much shorter than other sports. However, it really has a rapid development. I think people’s consciousness will change quite slowly. This is also our generation must do. Twenty or thirty years later, when I am 40 or 50 years old, the situation may be different. If we force to make people accept the fact now, it may be counterproductive.”

Frankly speaking, if we want to accomplish something in our life, it is doomed to be a rough road, not only the e- sports, but also other professions.
A good job need to meet three conditions: First, a strong interest no matter how low the salary is. Second, a clear meaning, convinced that the life value to be realized. Third, we can rely on it to feed ourselves.

The characters of the people are not the same. In common, whether the position for oneself is the most proper, the standard is not to see how many people in the society fighting for it, it needs to ask our life and soul, to see whether we really feel happy.

Besides, every parent want their own children to have a bright future without risks. So supposing that e-sports can have a bright future, will you be willing to support your children to play e-sports?




Will paper books be replaced by e-books one day?


Nowadays a lot of people read books on their electrical products. Some fans of e-books assert that paper books will be replaced by e-books one day. 

By: Mengyi Lu 120905338 Class 2

Will_paper_books_be_replaced_by_e-books_one_day 1I have noticed this situation for a while that a lot of people read books on their electrical products like iPad, computer, mobile phone, or kindle. We can’t deny that these products make our reading so convenient that some fans of e-books assert that paper books will be replaced by e-books one day. Actually, I’m a fan of paper books and I’m confident that paper books will exist forever.

Remember there was an article said that as more and more people prefer to read e-books, some book stores found it difficult to survive. I was a little ashamed that I used to read e-books more than paper books in order to save money. There are a lot of free e-books on the internet, and I can download the one I want for free. How nice! But deep down in my heart, I still prefer paper books. I read e-books just because I was poor. As I have more pocket money now, I bought a lot of paper books and almost stopped reading e-books. Paper books bring me more happiness when I am reading. There are some reasons that why I love reading paper books so much.

First, reading paper books won’t harm eyesight that much. I still firmly believe that my eyesight was damaged by reading books on my iPod. Yes, my iPod. The screen was so small that made my reading so hard. Moreover, you can turn back to any page you want immediately when you read a paper book which cannot be achieved easily on e-books.

Additionally, it is safer to read paper books. If you read on an electrical product, you have to worry about whether your product will run out of power, or be stolen by thief, and you won’t be able to keep reading. But if you read a paper book, you won’t need to worry about it.

What’s more, if there is a series of books which was written by your favorite writer and has this really beautiful cover. Do you want to read the e-books or buy them home, read them, and make them a collection?  I’d like to choose the second one. As time goes by, you will find your bookcase filled with books and you will see how many books you have read.

I did some research before I began to write this story. And I found this interesting article written by Rich Adin. He listed seven advantages of paper books in his article The buying conundrum: paper book or e-book?   And I excerpted these points below.

  1. When I buy a paper book, I own it; when I buy an e-book, I rent it.
  2. Paper books are resalable on a secondary market and/or rise in value as they become scarce; e-books are never scarce and have no secondary market in which I can recoup some of my investment.
  3. Nonfiction paper books tend to be less expensive to purchase than the e-book version and are available for significantly less on the legal secondary market, which includes the legal remainders market.
  4. Paper books can legally be cooperatively bought, thereby reducing the price to individuals even further (I have bought in cooperation with my son several books over the years that we have shared the purchase cost of).
  5. My paper books can be lent to other readers innumerable times; if I’m lucky, an e-book can be lent once for 2 weeks to another reader (after being lent that one time, the e-book cannot be lent again to anyone).
  6. Once I buy a paper book it remains mine; unlike the e-book, no one can remotely remove the paper book, replace the paper book, or do anything that interferes with my ownership of the paper book.
  7. As my collection of hard covers grows, I, too, may run into the space situation. At that point, I can reevaluate my paper books and remove some from my collection, and I either sell them on the secondary market (see 3) or, more likely, I can donate them to my local library, which is happy to obtain them as they are in pristine condition, giving me a charitable contribution deduction on my taxes at the fair market value, which is the average price in the used book market. I can’t sell or donate no-longer-wanted e-books to anyone, let alone to my local library.

Papermaking is one of the Four Great inventions of ancient China. We made paper books to carry our history, to record our civilization and we ought to be proud of it. Although I can’t deny that e-books bring us convenience and it really changed our lives, it doesn’t mean that we can abandon paper books.

There is a bookcase in our dormitory and it is almost filled with books. Everyone came to our dormitory would say how marvelous it was, it made us so happy. If you want to borrow a book from us, go and find us. Let’s support paper books and make its future bright.

 




Travel Xitang


Ancient towns are the special of regions south of the Yangtze River, whether you are local people or not, Xitang is a classic place to go. Surrounded by river that has flowed over thousand years, it seems that all the scenes about local ancient people’s life all come to you: you could see people washing clothes by the side of river, talking to passers-by on their way home, and even enjoying a cup of tea in their balcony. Modern life has brought us polluted air and noise, which make us sick. Thus, we are so eager to run away from city and get close to nature. So just enjoy the quietness and peacefulness that Xitang gives you.

By: Siqi Mo 130908214 Class

Travel_XitangWoke up in the morning at 9am, it was a day before the new term started, I was ready for my Xitang Trip and I can’t wait anymore.

It was a sunny day, sunshine sprinkled on the earth, although it was still winter, warmness came to me unconditionally, which brought me nice mood. I set out from Hangzhou East Railway Station, taking high-speed train to Jiashan county, which took around half an hour and I just needed 27 yuan for the train.

I booked a room in an inn inside Xitang scenic spot(not very expensive, normally 80 yuan for weekdays and 180 for weekends, but if you go on holiday season it would be more expensive), the owner picked me up at the gate and bought ticket for me——half price as 50 yuan (if you buy it yourself it would be 100 yuan for adults and 80 for students).

Travel_Xitang_02There are many lovely, romantic stores. You can enjoy a cup of coffee at the corner of a house, of a cup of milk tea with your friends chatting, laughing for the whole afternoon. Moreover, you could find shops that sell postcards and of course you can send them to yourselves and your friends. What the funny is that you could set a date when you want to send the postcard out, and the shopkeeper would do it for you according to the date you write down. Oh! I forgot to say: the ticket could be a postcard as well!

Travel_Xitang_03Although ancient towns of regions south of the Yangtze River look almost the same, like Wuzhen (in Tongxiang), Luzhi Town (in Suzhou), Nanxun Town (in Huzhou), each has its own unique. Take the bars in Xitang for example. Some people think bars in ancient town is unacceptable, or it’s weird to have bars in ancient town. But I think it is exactly the special aspect that differs. It’s the combination of the modern and the ancient.

Now that I have come to the water town, don’t miss the chance to take a boat and travel Xitang in a different angle.

Travel_Xitang_04As you can see in the water upside, the water of the river is green and it may make you feel that it’s dirty, but it doesn’t smell. Taking a boat you can see some other sceneries that you can’t see by traveling on foot. You would see local people drinking tea on their balcony, washing clothes by the side of the river and tourists sitting on the stairs taking photo.Travel_Xitang_05

Besides, Xitang is an old but romantic ancient town. People who come to Xitang must put away a lantern to the river and wish for what you want! There are many shapes of lantern you can choose,most of them are made as flower, like sunflower, chrysanthemum, rose, and so on. It’s a tradition of Xitang as well. People in the old day often do this to bless health, love and happiness. So it is also an unmissable experience!

Come to Xitang and have more fun for yourselves!
