I went to see Inception last weekend. It was shockingly amazing! After the movie, I just kept wondering did I really in the reality or in a dream. The movie is about how to enter one's deepist dream which is ubconsciouosness, and plant a new memory so that the subject person will change his/her mind of doing things.I guess we all have the same experience that sometimes we can sense that we are in a dream while dreaming. I had the experience like I suddently realize that I was in a dream when chasing by some ghosts or a series killer (They are very scary by the way). However, most of the time, we don't sense the irregularity of things around us while dreaming. But after we woke up, we realize that something was actually strange. According to many research, when people are dreaming, their brains are not resting. Maybe that's why if someone wake you up in the middle of your dream, you will feel very dizzy in your head. I think it is a gift that human can dream, because we can get inspirations, ideas, and even valuable memories from dreams. What do you think, my friends?P.S. I like the science fiction and suspense movies. And this one is just the right type for me. I didn't think about writing a review at first. I just felt very overwhelmed after watching the movie, and thought I wanted to write down something. The movie is way too complicated for me to describe in words, so I highly recommend you to see it yourself!

I went to tutoring Chinese on Friday afternoon as usual. My student was a 10-year old little girl. Her mother is Chinese, but her father is American. Althourh she is half Chinese, she can only understand a little Chinese, not to mention speaking or writing in Chinese. I have been teaching her once a week for almost a month. She is one of those sweet and well-behaved student, but would easily lose her attention while learning. Besides Chinese, she is also studying French, piano, clarinet and singing. I think that's too much for a ten years old girl. Who knows, as long as she enjoys learning all those things, she can benefit from all the skills she will have in the future.

I'm majoring in Chinese language education. But one thing I do know is that if I want to be a good Chinese teacher in the U.S. I need to improve my English skills. Chinese language and Chinese culture are very complecated enough for me to explain in another language. From today, I will keep writing English journal and practice and practice!!
