All the best exhibition of bonsai are sent here, and some of them for decades, even centuries.So that visitors enjoyed it,I also do not want to leave there.

Religious Service

On April.28th,Joyce,Doris,Iris and I went to Jiming Temple togetherthe temple was very quiet,there was no one speak loudly there. We saw someone burning incense and pray.All the things here gave us sense of the sacred.

There was one answer made me impressed.This question I thought on the road for a long time,but the Master’s answer made me can suddenly understand their thoughts. We asked the master“The Buddha is not in favor of killing, But for those people who always intentional kill others.Shouldn’t they be allowed to kill?”The Master said:“The people who breach of national laws should be punished by law,but not which people are going to kill him. The Buddha are not allowed his disciples to kill,this said for their own behavior,but not said the national laws have something wrong with sanctions to murderers. The Buddha always said‘Good people have good return,bad people have bad return,murders must pay with one's life.’ This shows that Buddhism does not violate the law in the world, but to recognize the world of law…”

Before leaving, we would like to take a photograph with the Master, but he said he had to ignore those thing, so we just give up this Request. But he said if we want to find him to talk about something about the Buddhism or our troublr, he will welcome us.If all the people have this thought.Then, people will be happy and peace to each other, social will be stability and unity, the state will be prosper, we will have a peaceful and happy world.This is the Buddhist world to achieve. I am really happy for this trip, it answered a lot of questions I can not understand.

Go to a performance

On December 29th,our school have a wonderful performance named “The Taming of The Shrew”.This performance by grade 10,11,12 performanced together. Regardless of grade 10 grade 11 or grade 12, all the people have very good acting.Teachers,our schoolmates and parents all came here and looked the perfoumance,because of their support, the performance also has been a great success.

This drama was talking about the main character Katharina,who is an intelligent,but grumpy shrew,unwillingly married a nobleman,Petruchio.Afterwards,Petruchio “tamed”his wife into an obedient and gentle woman.The performance divided into nine parts.First part was Introduction that told us a drunk man Sly has a dream in an inn.In his dream,he meets a lord and his pages that intend to play a trick on him.The scene 1 described in padua,Italy,Baptista is looking for a husband for Kate,the shrew.Gremio and Hortensin are fightened of Katharina,but lucentio falls in love with Kate’s sister Bianca and he plans to pretend to be her teacher. Scene 2,3 and 4 told a story about Hortensio introduces Kate to Petruchio,then he go to Kate’s house.He finally meets her,but Kate hates him from the first time. Everyone thinks they won’t have a happy ending.Scene 5,6 and 7 was when Petruchio and Kate returns home.He uses all his talents to tame the shrew.Then Kate has transformed into an obedient wife.The last part was epilogue,Sly wakes up and the hostess is interested in the story of his drean“The Taming of The Shrew”.

From the show, we can see that the actors are acting very well. No one in the middle of the back line spoke the wrong lines, Or timid, stage fright.I think this is good for their future career.If I have chance,I really want to try.

On April.30th,I finish my Volunteer work in Nanjing Political College library with Nancy and Joyce.Because we spent every week of Sundays, for five weeks we has finally completed the volunteer work.I am very excited about that.

I remember at the first time we went to the Nanjing Political College library,the librarian,Ms Yang took us to the reading room, and then she told us some attentions about this place.We should keep quiet in the library and can not speak loudly or make some big noise.After enter the library we must regulate the cell phone to vibration state.In the library we should pay attention to public health, can not spitting,throwing confetti or peels,also,we can not eat in the library.If people who violations of these provisions, we have to stop and criticism them. Then Ms Yang said we can start our work now.

Our work is help them to register and put back the book of the correct location.In the beginning I think this is a very difficult work, because it is very trouble. We need to put the book in accordance with different types of shelves, because we did not very familiar with the location of the shelves,so often we could not finish our work on time.Another work is even more trouble.If someone wanted to look for the book, he must be inquire it from the computer,the library is so big, and some people often put the book of incorrect location, so we need to find where the book was.

However, after two weeks.We are very familiar with the location of the shelves. The military library is very quiet, And not the same as other library.All the people are very particular about manners, we never see some peole eat or speak loudly inside.

The event I learned how to politely deal with civilized people, in public, what language to use.I hope next time I can go there again.

Arts & Design (go to an Exhibition with my friends)

On Feb 28,my friends and I went to Nanjing Museum.We chose this museum because Nanjing Museum has more than 400000 types of collections, there is the earliest Paleolithic collections, the latest are now, including stone implements, pottery, jade, bronze ware, porcelain, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, bamboo and ivory carving, folk and contemporary works of art and so on, and have some country level artifact smore than 1062 .The archaeological excavations goods of high historical, artistic and scientific value. There is one of 10 heritage collections for the national treasure.
We went to the Ancient Chinese Lacquer Exhibition. I saw a cow pulled a carriage,the cow's body are gray,this artework were make not very meticulous, but when we first saw, it we will know this ancient must made by China,because it has Ancient Chinese freehand brushwork.Beside this artwork, there is a person pulled a cow, the cow followed by carriage, but this work was more exquisite than the other one, you can see the lines on the carriage's curtains, also it has more patterns on the wheels, I think because of the time, producer were perfect its flaws.

Then we moved to the Jiangnan Fairview Museum.Rhododendrons were Nanjing specialty.Rhododendron production are currently the only Chinese can not be replaced by machines Weaving Process, the two people operations each day with only can weaved 5-6 cm. So, it was not only beauty, but also the national cultural heritage of living fossils for thousands of years .We saw an enormous textile machine there,and there were a lot of embroidery,too.

For my winter holiday’s homework. But also for more social contacts, improve my social capabilities, in the January 23 to February 1 this time, I went to Zhongshan East Road, No. 311-1 Nanjing Donggong restaurant l to make a 10-day volunteers.Two hours a day working hours made me so tired, but I was more pleased. During this period, I learned how to get along together with staff here,I know work in cooperation is most important thing, every day have a smile greeted the staff and guests can make a better change of mood.

Then I entered the Restaurant 206 rooms. There is also has an attendant here, she said I could call her Ms.Huang. Ms.Huang told me that this restaurant open for business from 11:00, our work is only sent to the plates to the guests, and then tell them the names of dishes.Or Add drinks to the guests, so as long as careful with this. Do not let plates broken or cups basic so have no problem.Ms.Huang said, when you add the drinks, either hot or cold drink and pour it into the two-thirds of the cup is enough, This will become even more beautiful. Every dish have to remember to tell guests the name of dish, so that they can know what they eat. And remenber every dish must let the masters of the main table to eat first.s This seems more polite; If have soup,we must use the small bowl in accordance with sub-equal to the guests.Ms.Huang accountable this after the restaurant has been open for business.
Today we habe eight guests, Ms.Huang Let me add drink for them first, I always add more or make drink to splashing out, perhaps not in the habit of beginning is also the reason why. First they chat over a period of time ,then they called we serve, we end eight cold dishes, Ms.Huang and I end the dishes for them, in the beginning my hands tremble a little bit,I feel a little nervous and always pay attention to the foot, so I am a bit slow, I told the guests that I just come her to practice first day.If I have some problem that they need forgiven, they are able to understand me, this let me moved and let me work more seriously. And then we end hot dishes, I often forget the names of dishes, obviously I remembered them, but I can not remember when I end the dish,I just stood there and do not know how to do, Ms.Huang always helped me with a smile, the guests also do not care.Finally we end the staple food, the staple food is noodles, noodles need to put in the bowl to the guests,but I always put them out.But Ms.Huang helped me solve this problem, I really thank her very much. Recognition of guests before they left, and said to me that I am pretty good. After work, managers and Ms.Huang are quite satisfactory to me, I’ll give myself 7.5 point. the end of today’s work, the manager told me that tomorrow I can arrive at 10:30, because something happens he tell to me today, but tomorrow will be not. When I left the hotel the time has more than 13 o'clock.
This internship lasted for 10 days, my volunteer work is over,before leaving there,managers and Ms.Huang told me they are very welcome I come here when summer holiday (although during this period I has been broken one plates and two cups).
The summary of my internship are: To do anything to be taken seriously and try our best. Has an error does not matter, timely corrective action be just fine. And we shoud polite to everyone. From this practice, I also found a friendly is so important to us. I believe I will be doing next time better.

Personal Health (Physical Activity)

In September Joyce and I went to Nanjing DJ Dancing Club to learn hip-hop, When we arrived there, after the teacher's introduction we decided to learn New Jazz.

During the first practice ,Ms.Dong told us Jazz is a type of music first developed by African Americans around the first decade of the 20th century that has an identifiable history and distinct stylistic evolution. Jazz grew up alongside the blues and popular music, and all these genres overlap in many ways. Most early jazz was played in small dance bands or by solo pianists. Besides ragtime and marches, the repertoire included all kinds of popular dance music and blues. The bands typically played at picnics, weddings, parades, and funerals.There are many kind of jazz: for example, street, jazz, reggae, power jazz , morden jazz, sexy jazz, New jazz, etc. We wanted to learn New jazz. New jazz in the early days from New York by the evolution of ballet , New jazz ballet created a fusion of hip-hop Hip-Hop charm, in fact, New jazz haracterized jazz plus hip-hop,

At first we could not feel relax when we dance some basic action.Ms Dong said maybe because we didn't find feel.She said we should relax our body,then we can do it,no one will laugh at us.Then we try her idea.Right,we can do it better than before.After 10 courses,we have significant progress, also many exercise we will not feel it difficult to do.

New Jazz's features is the extension of the body. New jazz every action has a fixed angle with the pendulum method New Jazz when jumping for the hand movements when there will be an unlimited extension of the feeling, this feeling is like someone is pulling your hand.

I like it.

I'm a member of TV Club,during this time ,we watched a lot of movie. They are "Prison Break""the chronicles of Narnia"and"The simpson family"

Prison Break is an American serial drama television series created by Paul Scheuring, which premiered on the Fox Broadcasting Company on August 29, 2005. The series revolves around two brothers; one who has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and the other, a genius, who devises an elaborate plan to help him escape prison.

The Chronicles of Narnia present the adventures of children who play central roles in the unfolding history of the fictional realm of Narnia, a place where animals talk, magic is common, and good battles evil. Each of the books (with the exception of The Horse and His Boy) features as its protagonists children from our world who are magically transported to Narnia, where they are called upon to help the Lion Aslan handle a crisis in the world of Narnia.

The Simpson family is a family of fictional characters featured in the animated television series The Simpsons. The Simpson nuclear family consists of the married couple Homer and Marge and their three children Bart, Lisa and Maggie. They live at 742 Evergreen Terrace in the fictional town of Springfield, USA.Alongside the five main family members, there are a number of other major and minor characters in their family. The most commonly recurring characters are Homer's father Abraham Simpson; Marge's sisters Patty and Selma Bouvier; and the family's two pets, Santa's Little Helper and Snowball II.
