  Today, we have a fansinating conference about cross cultural racism. About racism and discrimination, there should not be in the world but there must be in this society. People form all over the world talk about the situations in their country and what they did to deal or solve this cosmopolitan issue. I am really appreciate what they have done but also have my own opinion. To solve this problem, we need to admit other culture at first. Second, something can not be forgotten but something should be forgiven. Third, we should face the historical problems neutrally. But I also have a question. The man from Spain mentioned that we should never be attached the result. Actually, I don't know why he said this because we have our purpose when we do something and absolutely I want to finish it. Maybe for him, process is more important than the result. It's true and I totally agree with him but he used a strong word " never " to express his resolute decision.

 The aim of argument, discussion, debate should not be victory, but progress.

                                     -Joseph Joubert

 I had a room mate when I lived in West Hempstead. When I said something, for example, my landlord asked me some questions about the jobs of my friends and I told she what I knew, he would say I was wrong and what I said could not be true without giving any provements. Before I bought car, he usually asked me what l would bought and then told me it was not a realiable car. I thought it was very outrageous. We have an argument or discussion because we want to know the correct answer. We give our opinions to get the result rather than proving your are wrong and I am right. It is totally superfical to do such things. We will enjoy the progress. The answer is not such important, what you have learned inside the discussion is the most important things.

 It happened 4 months ago at the time I first arrived in America. At that time, my English wasn't very well and I couldn't express my opinion very clearly. Thus, l made a joke. Once a time, I went to McDonald's to have my lunch. I ordered the food very smoothly and I was glad to myself. After washing my hands, I want some napkins to wipe my hands. So I asked the service if she could give me some paper. But to my suprise, she asked me whether I needed a pen or not. I was totally confused: why did I need a pen. I told her I need paper to dry my hands. She understood me and told me that was napkin actually. I laughed to myself because it was the same in Chinese but I was in America! Now, I know the differences between the paper, napkin, tissue and the others. :)

It was nearly 2 years ago. It was very crowded in the subway at the 8am because it was the time to go to work. People's shoulders rubbed to the other's. Unfortunately, the weather was very hot. The A/C was not enough and everyone in the carriage couldn't  breath. It was totally muggy. Everyone wanted to escape out of this hell. If you asked a Beijinger how level a hell was, he must tell you 19 because the 19th was in the subway. I was one of the passengers inside the carriage. I had been sweating and there was a man who had been sweating too! But he didn't wipe. I could think about how uncomfortable it was. While I wiping the sweat, I gave him a piece of tissue. He looked at me surprisedly and had been thanking to me. It was just lift a finger but it meant a lot to him. 

Organized or disorganized

  I think I am an organized person. Everyday morning I wake up, I will go to the kitchen to heat up the water while at the same time, I will brush my teeth and wash my face. When I finish my clean work, the water is boiling so I can use it to cook noodles. After breakfast, I must wash the dishes and put them on the same place otherwise I can't find them. There is a upset thing on myself. When I was a child, I had my favorite toy- a warship. Once a time, l played it on a basin and forgot to put it back. When my mom poured away the water, it went away! I was very sorrowful and swore that will put everything back after using it. I was disorganized but I am organized.
