A Small Town of the Holland

Get Fall in Love with this Beautiful  Town!

By:Yangshi Ye 130905440 class1

When most people think of The Netherlands, they think of Amsterdam with it’s famous red lights
and  coffeeshops.  And maybe tulips too. but there is much more to the country than these three things. the Netherlands is country filled with historic cities, canals, beautiful farmland, windmills, and pleasant beaches.

Most travelers come to Netherlands and simply party in Amsterdam for a few days but by doing so they miss what much of the country has to offer. Spend time exploring more than just Amsterdam and coffeeshops and you’ll discover the country are beautiful than you think. I highly recommend heading north, especially in April/May when the tulips are in bloom, and also visiting Utrecht, one of my favorite cities south of Amsterdam.
Utrecht is like a mini-Amsterdam but lacks the crowds of Amsterdam. The old city is centered around an old church, the Dom.

The main area of town is centered near the Oudegracht, or “old canal”. it’s the main canal in town and along it are shops and a plethora of restaurants. The restaurants are located on a level below the street alongside the canals.

on the nice weather day ,the city is packed and all the tables along the canal were taken. After some walking, you can enjoyed some outdoor drinking by the canal, soaking up the sun with all the Dutch, who apparently don’t need to work on a Friday.
Overall, Utrecht is a nice city and a good, relaxing alternative to Amsterdam.

Kite flying is also a life skill


flying_kites

The kite, which has over 1000years old, is more and more popular right now around the world. Kiting is already not only for fun, but also could prevent some neck disease happening especially to those people sitting in from the computers all the day. Fly a kite, you need running, heading, One more important thing is you need some skills, especially to the new players.

 

By: Grace 131005123 Calss1

 

On a sunny weekend, I cheerfully go to fly a kite with me roommates. We went to a square place and many people already are there, some people are camping, the children are running and laughing, some people are flying their kites. Many colorful kites with lovely images are in the sky. What we flying is a Nemo, very cute fish.

Unfortunately my roommates and I are new players, we tried and tried many time to fly the kite, but we cannot make the kite even over 5meters.Then we need the help, we are so lucky that we got the instruction from a warm heart uncle, he give us some advices which help us a lot.

First of all, the player needs to know the direction and the strength of the wind, this could be defined by watching the flying flag or smoke or you could figure this out by thronging a piece of leaf or a small piece of paper. How to judge the strength of the wind??See how far the leaf flying, LOL.

When you feel the wind is strong enough, you can take the kite run against the wind direction, loose the kite line when you think the kite will hold in the sky. Loose your line slowly to make the kite clime up in a slow way. During this time, if the wind gets weak, you have to take back the line fast to make the kite continuously climbing up. Certainly when the kite pulls the line harder, you have to loose the line a little bit. So this is a kind of game back and forward, general speaking, the purpose is making the kite staying in the sky stable instead of falling down.

Sometimes the wind gets stronger suddenly, the kite swings in the sky sharply, then the player has to loose the line fast or step forward faster to make the kite stable in the sky. Oppositely, when the wind gets weaker, the player has to take back the line fast or step back faster.

In case of two kite lines tangle together, the worst thing is the player takes back the lines which will make the kite loosing balance and fall down immediately, the correct action is : DONNOT PANIC, two players get closer, exchange the positions, loose the line a little bit, the lines will release accordingly.

Finally, when you take the line back, you have to take much care of the tall building or trees, try to stay away from those tall things in order to avoid falling kite hanging on it.

With the instructions, my roommates and I try several times to make the kite flying, in the beginning, it fails because we could not cooperate successfully, but finally we make it! Nemo is flying in the sky! How happy we are when we see the kite climbing! We are trying to make the kite as far as possible till the line ends.

That is really funny for kiting, we are sure this is not the last time we go.




Male or female?!


Male_or_femaleThailand is the most neutral country, is also an open country. Talking about Thailand have to mention about shemale. She is mainly concentrated in Bangkok and Pattaya. Pattaya is a famous tourist resort where you can see the high level of she male art performances. 

By: Tingting Chen 130306149 Class 1

It can say the performers of she male is sexier than women. They are 1.75-1.80 meters high, and have slim well-proportioned stature, black shiny hair, luster skin, and delicate facial features. They dance in light steps with wearing sapphire earrings, just like goddess general. The content of their performances are representatives of other nation’s dance and song, as well as specialized Chinese theatrical performances. Their brilliant performances not only attract tourists, even locals often visit.

In order to give viewers exciting performances, they have to pay extraordinary efforts. They learned how to dance and sing in a special school. Acrobatics is extremely difficult process, all parts of the body should be strictly standardized training which is unbearable for general women. Some shemale art school or groups select them abroad such as USA, Japan for advanced education to cultivate excellent actors.

Anyway, these beautiful performers, are male or female?

In fact, these are two of them. One kind of them need inject hormone to prevent to restore a normal men. The other is become a real woman who can marry to a man by deformation surgery. Most of the performers are the former one. So they need to maintain the body medicine.

It is said they eat one kind of a native snake drug to keep the skin elasticity and gloss. The drug is 100 dollars a bottle, but the local government distributes two bottles per year for free for each shemale. You may be aware, tourism is the pillar industry in Thailand, 7 million foreign tourists traveled to Thailand could bring 7 billion dollars in revenue. The government needs shemales to attract customers.

So how much money they can earn? Theoretically, there is huge income. Beautiful one can earn 50-150 thousand Thailand baht per mouth, but not everyone can get so much. They are spending more. Breast augmentation and plastic surgery need to pay. They need 20-50 thousand baht for a sex change operation.

Frequent hormone injection and pills let them died in just over 40-year-old. Before the age of 35 is their golden period, after that they began to rapidly aging. They have to seek work in other countries, some to china’s Hainan province.

Finally is an interesting data. Thailand is total 65 million populations, of which 45 million are women, and the rest of the men, part of them are gay, part of shemales, the last part of men to marry two wives.

It seems that the emotional tone is sad, but to tell the truth,  from then on, the sentence “march of fireworks Yangzhou”  of the poem has spread whole China, A great deal of people are attracted by its fame. At that time, some questions occurred to me. Whether the scenery there is charming enough to attract so many people? Is there any chance for me to encounter someone special?

A  Fantastic Encounter  in  Zhuyu Bay Scenic Area

Stepping out into Zhuyu Bay Scenic Area, a cute squirrel will come to great guests so that lotus pondthey can eat their favorite pine cones and then jump up and down in the pine trees. I smell a floral perfume sweeping on the river, so I sit down in the bridgehead, listening to songs and admiring lotus. Suddenly, a girl rowing and picking lotus appears, with a bamboo pole, she wears a bamboo hat and shuttles on the river slowly. It looks like a natural painting. She invites me to her boat passionately. Truth are always hidden in folk. I learn many trivias from her, everyone knows fried lotus root is delicious, but lotus nuts can be used in many ways. On one hand, it can be cooked in the Eight-Treasure Porridge, this is a tradional food in China, but a little bit different from Yangzhou. On the other hand,using some of them to make tea is a good recipe for cancer prevention even though it tastes bitter. The sun goes down and it’s time for me to say goodbye to the lovely city.

At night, when I look into the starry sky, I wonder why people here are so comely and beautiful, maybe It owns to the excellent terrain or sweet water. In general,  an encounter with someone in Yangzhou can be very romantic, warm and amusing.

Basketball brings more than weight-losing.


 

basketball gives you more

Basketball brings you more.

Want to achieve weight-losing  in your basketball ways?  When falling in love with basketball,it seems basketball brings more than weight-losing.What’s more, taking part in the teamwork definitely brings benefits.

Jing Li          134102208         Class 3

His last basketball match was undoubted great. No one likes failure, especially successive ones. While for Sun, it’s no doubt that he has become a legend in Journalism Institution history not because his amazing performance and leadership in the team, but also the unbelievable “self-changing” in his last 4 years college life.

At April 4th, this year‘s School Basketball Championship started with many people’s craziness and enthusiasm,Journalism, last year‘s champion, showed great passion and competence in their first match against team Universal Culture Communication in a big margin. Sun Xuning, captain of Journalism, scored 21 points in this match, surely the highest and best performance above all, which was definitely usual compared with last year.

Things went steep after first match. Everyone had not imagined the situation changing so sharply that it gave no more time for them to scrutinize whether they had lost something.

It surely belongs to the absence of Sun, though his teammates had dedicated their whole personal power to attain the victory of the later 2 matches which sadly turned out to be lost in a row. Sun is in grade 4 and have to pre-find a job which meant he had no time and energy to lead the basketball team and play with his great teammates again. However, Sun made the decision, coming back to school and play the first match for his team.

“I merely go outside for anything before college. When I’m in grade 1, I nearly weighed 100 kg, a typical big fat guy. I decided to change immediately, or I would have no chance, no time and no passion when I go into higher grades”, said Sun. “He has no other hobbies except basketball, so, with no hesitation, he just take a ball and go directly to courts and play until after dusk”, teammate Tao Guilong said. “We’re all proud of him seeing him successfully lost weight and changed to be a 80 kg ,pretty strong guy!” said scoring guard Zhu Yanchao.

“If we believe in what we do, then there’s no big deal to be afraid about”, said Tang Xiaobo, vice-captain of Journalism team, when asked about the prospect in this year’s School Cup basketball game.

“Actually we are still competitive even without Sun”,center-forward Cheng Yi showed a big confidence facing the absence of the one who used to lead them to win the final champion last year.

On the other side, Sun has a more different opinion, “I don’t think it’s the most important to win a certain championship or to show people that we are always the NO.1 team and unbeatable, in my view, playing basketball brings more than victory and failure, and personally speaking, more than losing weight to 80 kg  . Communicating and working with a couple of interesting guys shows me what basketball, even sports, means to us modern college folks.”

 

 




Bangers and Mash – a very traditional British meal!


banges and mash 2

Growing up in the UK you can’t avoid eating this very traditional meal made from sausages, mashed potato and onion gravy. In the popular imagination it was so important that Desperate Dan, a comic book character from my childhood, always finished each story with a large plate of Bangers & Mash.

By: Roy Hanney

Often eaten with peas or even baked beans this meal has to be a staple for food for the English. Even if your mother never cooked it certainly you would find this food on any cafe or pub menu. Where ever you eat it though, you need mustard preferably hot English mustard though the milder German or French will do at a push.

The term “bangers” apparently comes from before World War II and may even go as far back as 1919. It seems that back then there was a food shortage due to the war and sausages were made with water. Consequently, if you cooked them they were likely to explode like a firework. Thankfully modern sausages don’t do this.

In 1961 film stars Peter Sellers and Sophie Loren recorded a song praising this so British food singing “No wonder you’re so bony Joe, and skinny as a rake. Well then, give us a bash at the bangers and mash me mother used to make”. So how can you make this dish? Well its very simple and all you have to do is follow the instructions below. It’s also very cheap and takes around 20 minutes!

Food-Drink-Cartoons-Punch-1990-08-03-30-2What you need:

  • Sausages
  • Potatoes
  • Peas
  • Onions
  • Milk

bangers and mash_doneServe on a plate nice and hot and indulge in what can only be described as ‘comfort food’ and imagine you are back in Blighty (a nickname for England) eating in a local cafe, at home eating your mothers cooking or even better – at school eating in the canteen. The better the sausages the better the taste of the meal so try and get some good ones.
