That's Why I Like Basketball

Since I stepped into high school, I had friends who forced me to play. I didn't like sport before because of my legs which had some problems. Somehow, I played ball with them after school(Everyday). When I started to play it, I didn't even know how to control the ball. In fact, every thing that is cricle is complusive. It took time to practice as playing every sport, so I could't feel any fun at the beginning. After a while, we started to get used to it. We played a game with old unlces, fortunately the standard of us with the old uncles which were quite close, so we got some advantages from them.

Many sports can train our teamwork. We can become properly dependent on our teammates. Basketball is a sport that every player can keep in touch the ball more than other kinds of sport, like soccer, which I like too. For basketball, the occupancy of the field is less than soccer. If you play soccer, you need to chase the ball and run back and forth on each side. For example, If your teammate gets the ball and run to assist him, but during running to other side, your teammate might lose the ball, so you need to run back to your field and help to defend. I don't like to consume my energy for not touching the ball one time but running back to defend. For basketball, because the field is smaller, players need to use all their teammates to make a chance to socre. They need to pass a lot. And bcause the field is smaller, players don't need to spend too much energy for chasing the ball.

Time Flies Too Fast

Since I stepped this level, I have thought the time pasted very fastly because my anut and unlce almost go back to HK and this semster is already on the half of the wasy. When a person is very busy and he doesn't have time to do what he wants to do, he will have a feeling that the time will be consumed faster than others. For the busy people, they don't have time to rest or break. Most of the poeple are workers. I'm so scared of my future becoming as busy as I can't take a break. Time is very important. If we don't chrish our lives more, we will have many regrets when we are old. I always remember an expression " We can't go back to re-start our beginnings, but we can start a new beginning." My principle of my life is chrishing everything in my life, whether the thing is good or not.

My Day in the Mall and Supermakert

Today I met my conversation partner as always, and we went to Roosevelt field mall to have a lanch. I had a great time with him, and we talked a lot what we liked. I tied to pick up the tab, but he refused. One of the reasons that I went to mall was to meet the unlce and aunt who almost had to go back to Hong Kong. They wanted to buy some keepsakes before they went back. I met them at 2 in front of H&M after wandering for a moment with my parter. My unlce ,anut and I both bought something that we liked. It was so good that I could shop things that I liked. It gave me a feeling of triumph. HAHA~~ (Even I said I wouldn't shop in my previous blog.) Around 7, I went to BJ's with my another anut. I started to like being in supermarket. There were plent of things that I needed, like snacks, beverages, so on. However, numerous people were waiting in lines. The situation was crowded, so we waited about 10-15mins and drove back to house ,through roads with dim lights and rain which easily tiggered accidents happened.

For class, I hope this time my writing will be better and I think I need to focus more on my listening because during the movie I couldn't exactly understand all part of the movie.

Sleeping

While I was a child, I deprive of my sleep in order to playing games. I was accustomed to them. As the increasing of day, I became mature and played games less than before, but I demand more sleep than before. Newly,my homework is about napping. It shows napping can boost our memory. I think that is true. First of all, I only take a nap, if I have nothing to do, like talking a bus. After taking a nap, I feel vgiorous and conscious. It is also true that napping can help us, if we lack sleeping. Any other reason I become to like sleeping is I become busier than before. When a person grow up, the things that he/she need to figure out will be more. Therefore, the more things I need to do, the less rest time I can get. Sleeping is a time for people's bodies to be organized. For example, sleeping can help our wounds to be recovered quickly. If a person lack sleeping, it can tigger many follow-up problems to the person.

Is Money Important?

People always say money is not important because it can't buy something valuable, like love or time. Truely, I was a very parsimonious and selfish person. I didn't like to spend money on other people, if they didn't benefit me. Since I knew what is money, I was always sensitive to it. For example, I looked at people when they dropped something, and then I would think whether it is money or not. I grew up in a family which was between affluence and poverty. Sometimes my mom would be worried about how to pay a bill, if my dad spent too much money. Perhaps that was why I was sensitive to it. Now, I have changed my view of money because one of my friends is very willing to pick up tabs, even if he doesn't know a person. After I knew him, I noticed human is very delighted to receive a gift. A gift can make a relation closer, but the gift doesn't need to be costly.I think the gift is shown you are likely to be a friend with the receiver. Can money buy time? Of course, money can't trade for the time that is already past. Nevertheless, money can really save our time. Money can decide what transportation we take or use by. Therefore, money is very important for me, but the point is how I spend my money on. If someone tells you that the person doesn't care of money, we should be care of the person.

Recently~!

I discovered that many people are already very intelligent ,albeit with a lot of problem. "Intelligent" was meant they had already known what things they were good at. When I was a child, I always said to famous people " What is so special about you!" I thought I was much powerful than they were. While I knew this world is mych more than I thought of, then I knew how stupid I was,especially, after my classmates's persentation of famous people with obstacles. This is how a person is.



Today, I met my conversation partner. My partner told me many things about himself. He told me "He is going to apply for 15 colleges because this is his last semster." In the orientation, he was late to meet me. He was so nervous of being late, so today I told him you don't need to be so serious even though you were late. He answered "Because it was our first meeting, I didn't want to be late." According to what he said, I knew he was very nice with good attitude. I am very happy he is my partner.





Perhaps it is hard to be resilient if you lack practice of doing something. Now my writing has many mistakes which I should not make. I should already be familiar with those mistakes. Sometimes when I look at my mistakes which I should know, I will ask myself "What happens to you? How come you can write it down?"

Another Earthquake Makes Me Terrified

Is our Earth dying?I have started to feel scared because of another devastating earthquake which occured in Chile. Recently, I re-watched a movie"2012". In the movie, before the disaster which happened on 2012, many places had earthquakes. My point is our situation is so similar to the movie. That's really outrageous. My friend watched the movie too. Once, we made a joke with this movie. I asked him "If 2012 is real, are we wasting our time of studying?" I am not sure of his answer, but we hope it won't happen. This time the magnitude of Chile's earthquake was more serious than Haiti's, but Chile is far less damged than Haiti. I read a new article about it on yahoo news. It says because Chile's buildings and infrastructures are higher standard than Haiti's and Chile has a good preparation. Therefore, one of the article's topic in yahoo is "Chile was ready for earthquake but Haiti wasn't" One of a sentence from yahoo's article that I do not really understand is "Earthquakers don't kill-they don't create damage-if there's nothing to damage." This sentence is refering to Haiti or Chile? No matter what, I hope the victims will be fine!
