Dear Captain,

How is your sea life? Wish you a happy journey!

I have a question that has troubled my brain for a long while already, and I think I need your help. Though I have been a student for many years, but till the moment I write to you, I am still thinking about the question. Hmm, can you tell me what study is? I really want to know your viewpoint on this question.

Captain, I still remember the first day I attended a philosophy class. Before my teacher started the class, he asked us a questi

Big Big Girl

Dear Captain,

I'm a big big girl
In a big big world
It's not a big big thing if you leave me
But I do do feel
That I do do will miss you much
Miss you much.

I can see the first leaf falling
It's all yellow and nice
It's so very cold outside
Like the way I'm feeling inside
I'm a big big girl
In a big big world
It's not a big big thing if you leave me
But I do do feel
That I do do will miss you much
Miss you much.

Outside it's now raining
And tears are falling from my eyes
Why did it ha

The 53d of February or TODAY

2346550508?profile=originalHi, my friends! I want to tell you about the events in Kiev on March 22-23. First of all, I have to say that Kiev climate is quite moderate and mild. In the middle of March we usually take off our winter clothes. But this year we have an opportunity to celebrate New Year again now. Our journalists made a film called "Today" or "February 52" ( I hope you remember the film "The day after tomorrow'). Can you imagine that 40 mln tones of snow  fell down on my city during 24 hours?  And nothing was d

Read and Think

"Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare." Harriet Martineau

“a man’s world be no smaller than the mind of the man who scans it”  Louis L'Amour

This blog owes it genesis to Mickey who asked the question "How are society and school different".  I will discuss that more with her but a related issue is how we can learn by reading.  This is true whether in school or out of school.  One of our greatest opportunities to learn is by reading.  But to read is not enough.  Too often people read to get thou

live and death

Many times, I stay alone and think about the true meaning of life. I was born, grow up, study, got married, make friend, etc. Every event or period I have passed by has its own meaning and given me a lot of emotions of happiness, sorrow and bitter as well..

Acknowledged that life is beautiful, however, finally we all will die, or in another word, the final destination for all is "death", why do we need to live...?

Dear Captain,

Miss you so much. But I know your goal and your life belong to that vast blue sea, there is your home, and where your heart belongs to as well. I just hope you enjoy everyday with the sea, and come back when you feel tired to have a short rest.

Last night I dreamt a bitter dream. In the dream, my soul attached to one imperial concubine, who was out of flavor of the emperor before I came. I wonder where her soul had gone, why my soul attached to her body and where my body had gone. So

Online and text abbreviations have their place in our modern era, and in the right situation (a chat room or text message) they are relatively acceptable.However (I am going to be quite unpopular for saying this) I don't think it is wise for English learners to use many of these 'lazy words'.Acronyms like LOL (laugh out loud) and BRB (be right back) are okay, as long as everyone is aware that they have no place outside a chat room or a text message, and they certainly don't belong in formal writ

The Most Romantic Thing

Dear Captain,

Life is still continuing, sometimes happy, sometimes upset, sometimes interesting, sometimes boring, sometimes active, and sometimes dull. Anyway, that’s true life. I accept all the states.

After a long while, I received Ling’s letter. In the letter, she shared me her recent life and invited me to visit her. The sanatorium she is staying stands by the sea. She said it very beautiful. What’s more, she made friends with an amiable and sophisticated elder lady. I
