TV

My favorite TV show is a Chinese TV show. The name of TV show is Happy Camp. There are five moderators in This TV show. they called happy family. it perform every Saturday. this show can bring happy to us, and they invite many famous people in this show and they plan many interesting games to share with the honored guests. i like a part of this show is 60seconds no NG. it means every people have their own work, but when they play together, they must be finish in 60 seconds. it is difficult for them work together. however, it is important that they need to face to difficulties together.it is a activity that make us trust your partner and work together.

Glog

  • This link is our Glog that we go outside to interview the people in group. my partner are Jun, Anna. At beginning, we are three shy girls and we felt a little nervous. so we missed some chances to interview, even we met a girl who had too many luggages and we helped her a lot, then we thought about interviewing her. But unfortunately we didn't catch this chance. in the end, we wanted to go back early and ate lunch. we encouraged ourselves to interview a person who is a nice girl, she is from a small town, and she was traveled in Chicago. She is glad to be a interviewee. That is a cold weather, but it's funny!

Technology

     Some of technology has already go into our lives, it is too bad that we cannot live without these technology. such us computer, cell phone or watch. computer and cell phone are important in my life, but I really prefer watch. My watch is one of my necessities in my body. I never take it off except I take the shower. I don't think it is most useful and more technological equipment in my life, but I cannot live without it. if i forget bring watch, I will feel uncomfortable all day! by the way, I really like collected watch before I came to America. I had a box that all watches in it. it is good that I can choose a watch in order to what emotion is it today!

movie


          An Education
What a difficult choice to choose which road we should take, but when the love is coming, we usually don’t have correct sense about how to face to the problem. This is a smart, beautiful girl who is just 16 years old. She has a warm family but a serious father. Her father hopes the best for her, such as famous university, good education, even though her boyfriend who must have rich family background, good propose of future. But her parents also love her and want her to be happy in her life, so they didn’t prevent the big mistake of their daughter. The character in this movie Jenny’s life changes when she meets a man who is already married and has a five or six year old boy, but she falls in love with this man when she didn’t know anything about him. Just the gentle, rich, good mannered and noble attracted her. She in order to stay with this gentleman, she gives up her test and gets a poor score. She even lies to her parent and argue with her teacher. As a result she finds that the man already has a wife, and she wants him to give a reason about this, but he doesn’t. She understands everything, and cheers herself up. But, finally, she cheers herself up and is successfully accepted by Oxford. So it also gets a good ending in this movie.
 Response of " unstoppable"
         I went to cinema with my boyfriends one week ago, and we watched two movie, the first one is Harry Porter, it is a long movie,but I don't have strong feeling about this movie, the second movie is Unstoppable. It is a exciting and nervous movie. it is a real event in America. I feel enough love in this movie. when we face to trouble, we always remember our relative, even if we were unhappy to each other. this kind of movie is my favorite. it is important that have love in the movie, because i think love can touch people's heart.  
       

music

        Actually, I don’t have a singer that I like very much. I just listen to their songs firstly. Next, I try to know the singer. The first song that I can sing completely is Rewind, one of Jolin Tsai’s famous songs. So that is why I introduced Jolin Tsai in my pop culture class. This song is talk about a girl break up with a boy but the boy tries to retrieve their love, but it is too late to know how the girl deeply loves her boyfriend. I prefer Mantopop music. It is good listening and easy to singing. ,
if you are interested in this song, you can listen it.
but I am sorry about that this song is a Chinese song

Reading

     
The new emphasis of reading and writing is text, but text cannot completely instead of reading. So we also have five or more articles to read in the pop culture class. I really prefer “people like us”. This article is good for us. Especially it is good for me. People usually like their selves and stay in the area only have people who are familiar. People never go outside to touch the new things and feel the different world. My aunt came to America almost ten years. She was a engineer, she has good skill in her work, at beginning, she worked for Chinese company, she got low salary, and always argue with her boss. Later, she decided to go outside looking for the job. Now, she got a job that has high salary and work with people from other countries. Right now, she can speak good English, and she also bought a big house by herself. So there are many different worlds that we need to look for. Maybe, you will get new experience in your life.

pop culture

Pop culture
           When I learn about pop culture, I am aware of pop culture always around me. I never pay attention to think about what kinds of pop culture around me? Even I never know what does pop culture means? But I found out pop culture around me. I start to enjoy the movies in the big screen; I spend time on reading review after finish watching movies and sometimes, I also write my opinions on the website. It is very fun to share my idea about this movie. I become strong to deal with problems by myself, not just rely on my parents, I can find fun in studying, and I also make many friends in this stranger country. Finally I really prefer the sky in this city. It is clear and comfortable.  

           In fact, pop culture always influences me, it always offers convenient and helpful in my live. Such as computer, cell phone. Likewise, people around us always affect me. I can learn some from my teacher who is always have purpose and plan to start and end our class. I can learn the graceful from my classmate Melanie. I can learn serious from rich and I also can learn confidence from Jessica and so on, these are my friends. Because of pop culture, I am really appreciate to make different friends from different countries.

Culture Identity

Cultural Identity Wrap-up
In this unit, I learned about two important concept. one of the ideas is from" people like us" . this topic talked to me people should go outside do something that you never did. it also remain me I should look around the world, and do anything that are attract me, and I need excise myself. make more friends that aren't from china. I think it is very important to me to improve my life.
the other idea is talk about global. now the world already become global. because one country can have many culture connect it. it is amazing. in the ancient , they can not have one more culture in this county. but now it was come true. i just want to say, maybe one day i will become a person with two or more country's citizen. and i will become global in the future. 
I am so happy to learn about culture, and we made the post together. we learned more knowledge in other country. it is cool to me. i like it!
