        Few days later, the Chinese people will celebrate the Chinese New Year. There is no doubt that the lunar new year is the most important festival in Chinese people’s hearts. It’s time to be close to family and friends; however, I stay in Canada for studying, and this is my first time to celebrate the festival without my family. I have been Canada for 4 months, and I miss my parents extremely. These days, there always are some frames on my mind about my parents and me, we got together to make dumplings and watch TV last year. I am very homesick these days, and sometimes I also have a dream at night about that I fly to China and celebrate the Spring Festival with my family. How beautiful the dream is! I know that most my Chinese friends, they also have the same feeling. All of us are sighing for home and friends.
       Fortunately, we will have a big party at CNC. When I know this event, I feel very excited. All the international students who come from Asia get together to celebrate the Spring Festival. I think I will have a lot of fun on the party because this festival is a special one. Different countries have different culture, and they have their special ways to celebrate this festival which belongs to all of the Asia international students in CNC. The Korean student and the Vietnamese student will do a presentation to tell us how they celebrate this festival. I am interested in their presentations, and I think that will be the amazing thing. When I was in China, I haven’t known that Vietnamese people, Chinese people and the Korean people have the same time to celebrate the lunar New Year. How amazing it is!
       Let us bring our happy mood to meet this festival. I wonder how wonderful the party is!

Hi everyone:

Today, I want to share a cartoon movie-<< Up! >>.  Have you ever seen it before?  I love this film very much, and I am also moved with tears by this film. The film tells that the 78 years old gentleman, Carl, in order to realize the commitment to his wife, so he decides to have the adventure that he and his wife always dreamed of. He takes the house to go to Paradise Falls with a little kid Russell, which house has many balloons in the roof and builds by his wife, Ellie, and him. During the trip, Carl and Russell meet a dog Dug, and a big bird Kevin, and then Carl begins his adventure trip with these members. At beginning of the film,   little Ellie shares her adventure book to Carl with her serious expression: “You have to swear you will not tell anyone! Cross your heart!”  This is a very funny frame. Then Russell’s appearance makes the movie add to comedy, he said few times about himself introduce to Carl, but Carl said: “Skip to the end!” Carl’s expression was reflected by this short sentence. After Ellie dies, Carl has to face a lonely life, and his expression let me know he misses Ellie extremely. “Cross your heart”, it is Carl’s belief, and that’s why Carl takes the house to Paradise Falls.  Their lives are real lives, and they get together to share a life of happiness and sadness. What a wonderful movie it is!
