Dear Captain,

It is the first weekend of my new semester, long time no contact! How are you recently?

Captain, I spent my whole summer holiday in Su’s grandparents’ home. They treated me very friendly, as if I was their own granddaughter. I went to the kindergarten and primary school which Su stayed before and I got some photos of Su from them, very precious things for me though. Often after dinner, I would take a walk with Su’s grandparents, and listened to anything they told me about Su carefull

Dear Captain,

Last time I wanted to tell you my decision, but I was too sad and I couldn’t stop my tears, so I stopped the letter suddenly, sorry.

I have locked myself in sadness for more than one year, and I come to realize something. Life is fickle, I should cherish people around me, show them my care and my love timely. Yes, the old me is dead and gone, I want to go out of my room and care about outside world and people. From now on, I want to be a caring girl, as caring as Su.

In the past days,

Dear Captain,
It has been a long time that I don’t write to you. It was a tough time and a dark time. Anyway I survive now, so don’t worry much about me. How has your life been in those days we don’t contact?
Captain, in the past year, I moved into a new house. My life changed, so did my mind, the old me is dead and gone. Because Su had a terrible traffic accident when she was back from visiting Ling and passed away. As you know, I don’t have many friends, Su and Ling are my best friends. I didn

If you see the teeth of the lion prominent, don't think the lion is smiling. It is a poem by a famous Arabic poet. I was showing my teeth on my last picture. I was trying to look brave and hard. Then suddenly, I asked myself, " hey man, are you really like a lion?" 

I always try to hide and pretend. Once I met a lady in a bar. She requested to be given a glass of milk. while drinking her milk she started to tell me about personal things. Then I told her whether she was always like that with stran

What is the better way to uncover the other seventy-one percent of the Earth’s surface might look like? “Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus,” also knowned as SCUBA, makes it possible to explore God’s mysterious and majestic creation.

Visit shipwrecks or just to experience the zero gravity underwater.

Regardless, when asked whether I would like to take

Hi everyone!

I know that I have not been as active as I would like. However, today I want to drop some lines on a issue that is on my mind and I cannot take it off.

According to my experience not only as a Student of English, but also as a teacher of Spanish; I came up with the conclusion that accent was not important in the process of communication. Besides, I thought that the most important thing when you are learning a language is communicating your ideas fluently and accurately. Actually, si

Recently, while taking a stroll around online news, I have learnt about the heightened tension on Korea peninsular. With activities that the involved parties have been conducted, it sounds sooner or later there will be a war between two Korea states in the near future..

I do not know much about the relationship between two areas of Korea peninsular as well as in this tension, to whom the right belong. Politics is a luxurious thing with the normal citizen like me (and for almost people on the worl

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

    Do you like reading or listening to stories? That's one of my habbit. As my major is literature, I am lucky to read many interesting stories. Seeking for new things is people's nature, i think, that's absolutely for me. Do you have any fun stories or experiences to share? Come on, show your mercy on a story beggar. Thanks in advance =)

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

Hi, 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

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

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
