Tell me about the plot of your favorite movie
Last month, I watched an exciting television show. It was called “Prison Break”. I would like share it with every classmate.
The summary of that show is: Michael Scofield(the major character) is a structural engineer. He attemptes to rob a bank in order to get incarcerated at Fox River State Penitentiary, where his brother Lincoln Burrows is in jail.
Lincoln Burrows is accused of murdering the Vice President's brother. He is scheduled to be executed.
In fact, Lincoln Burrows is a victim. Michael Scofield firmly believes that his brother is an innocent person. He made a plan to save his brother. Each step of his plan is thrilling.
Do you think he will succeed to escape from prison? I won't tell you! If you are interested, you have to watch the show.

Mental Meltdown
Mental Meltdown
By Shu Mei
The day Mr.Li opened the gallery many people came to look at his paintings. He sat in a corner. He watched the customers. This was the first time that he saw the young man.
The young man wore expensive looking clothes. The young man walked around and looked at every picture.
Then, he walked up to Mr Li and asked, "Are you Mr Li? I'm Mr Tao. I want to buy one of your pictures." He pointed to a picture on the wall.
"Oh, you chose my best picture! Would you mind paying a deposit?" said Mr Li.
''Oh, I don't have cash. Can I use a credit card?” asked MrTao.
Mr Li thought that this young man looked rich. Usually rich people don't like to carry cash - just a credit card - so Mr. Li said, "It's Ok. you don't need to pay the deposit. After the gallery closes, I'll bring the picture to your house. Will that be OK?".
So they made an appointment and the young man wrote down his address.
Later that day, Mr. Li brought the picture to the MrTao's address. It was a new building. Mr. Li rang the door bell. Nobody answered. He pushed again , finally, an old man answered the door.
"Are you looking for MrTao?" the old man asked.
“Yes,” said Mr. Li.
''Then, you have been cheated,” the old man said. “Mr Tao doesn't live in this building anymore''
''What did you say?” asked MrLi.
''You are not first one who came here this month. Many businesses brought things to deliver to Mr. Tao. There was a table a sofa and a piano. You are lucky that I told you about this before you left your picture,'' said old man.
''What happend? Is he trying to cheat us?” asked Mr.Li.
"No, he isn’t trying to cheat you,” the old man answered. Then, he started to tell a story about MrTao.
Mr. Tao was released from a mental hospital one month ago. This building was his former home. His father used to have a profitable business but five years ago his business went bankrupt. Mr. Tao’s father was very sad. He burned the house down. Most of his family died in the fire. Only MrTao survived. But he lost everything. He became crazy and went to mental hospital.

My Friend
Carlos is my best friend. We have known each other since middle school. The first time I saw Carlos I didn't like him because we always had some competition to see who was the best player on the basketball team.
One day I saw a girl and I liked her but I never thought that Carlos also liked her. Because of that girl, we started another competition to see who would become her boyfriend.
One day I was sitting in a movie theater’. Carlos was there and we saw each other and we started to talk.
He asked me,"Are you going out with someone?"
I said, "Yes" and I asked him, "How about you?"
He said, "Yes."
We never imagined that we were going out with the same girl.
He asked me, “Who are you going out with?” and I told him the name of the girl.
Then, he said, "We are both going out with the same person!"
I told Carlos that she was playing with us. We watched the movie and started a good friendship. We always remembered that girl because she is the cause of our friendship.

Change Of My Life
Change of My LifeI come from China, when I was in China; I was an Accountant in a bank. I worked from Monday to Friday; I was off on Saturday and Sunday. My work was very busy, but I was enjoying my work. Every weekend I went shopping and went to restaurant with my friends. During holidays we traveled to other cities and we had a lot of fun.Since I came to the United States, I left my friends and my family, I haven’t have any job, I don’t have any friend here. My English isn’t so good, I can’t speak well, and I need help most of the time. I lost myself, and then I feel up sad. I miss my country; my family and my friends, so I went back to China to visit them.During that time I wasn’t as happy as I thought I would be, because all of my friends were working during daytime, they only can go out with me during the night and weekend. I was relaxed, but at the same time I was bored, I felt I was wasting my time. I knew that I don’t belong there; I have to go back to the United States. Suddenly! I realized that everything changed in my life; I have to learn second language. After that I have to find a job, and then I will have new friends and start my new life.After I came back to the United States I haven’t feel sad, I am happy to learn English and I am sure I will have a better life in the future.

I was at a conference yesterday. There was someone to take my place at school. I wanted to be in two places at once. Everyone knows that is impossible, unless you have e-conference and many people can see you at the same time.
There was a reading assignment to complete for this meeting. I had completed only 3/4's of the material. I was so sorry I had not read it all. It did not stop me from participating in the discussions. It was amazing! Everything we discussed happened to be just what I had read.
I have learned a lesson; be ready! Do not expect to be saved from your short comings. Things go better and you are a greater help to the common good when you are ready.
