Journal 4:The Most Unforgettable Event in My Life

     English is my favorite subject. I have taken English as my major for about four years. Owing to my passion for English, I have the greatest pleasure and patience in learning English. By learning English, I hope I can learn more things about English and gain access to more information with regard to foreign culture.

     However, I was not interested in English at all when I was in junior high school. At that time, my English was very poor. I failed in English examination every time. Besides, English was a subject which I was very not interested in. I even didn’t like to study in English class. After the basic competence test for junior high school, everyone was busy in filling in application. My mother hoped that I could opt for Department of Applied Foreign Languages to study because she thought that English was very important for my future. Nevertheless, I was not approved the idea. I was very afraid that I was unable to learn English well as a result of the poor basis. At last, I still opted for Department of Applied Foreign Languages to study after my mother worked hard to persuade me.

     When I entered in Department of Applied Foreign Languages, the journey was never smooth. I ran into a lot of setbacks and difficulties. When I was a freshman in senior high school, my English level was very awful. I even didn’t understand what the teacher talked about. I often felt very discouraged. Sometimes, I even wanted to give up. Due to teacher’s encouragement, I spent plenty of time overcoming this obstacle finally. Moreover, I tried my best to learn it well.

     After going through the experience, I think nothing can keep us from moving ahead as long as we work hard. To sum up, we are bound to encounter many difficulties in our life, but I believe we can make it as long as we stay determined.

Journal 3:Labor Education

Labor education is an essential thing for every freshman in Chaoyang. It can cultivate our attitude toward working and spirit of service. Some people think that it is a meaningful thing in our university life. However, most people always complain about it. What do you think about it?

In my university life, I often heard a lot of people complaining about it, and I am no exception. I think the distribution of workload about labor education is a little bit unfair. For example, some people's works are simple and relaxing, while others works are difficult. People whose works are difficult will spend much time than other people completing this job. Sometimes, it will even affect our lunchtime. In addition, I hope to shorten time of labor education. Labor education is divided into three sessions. Some sweep the floor in the morning, some at noon, and still some others in the afternoon. I think people who sweep the floor in the morning are quite painstaking. They have to get up early every day. It is an annoying thing. I think school should take new measures. For instance, students sweep the floor once a week. Maybe the measures will bring less complaint.

Although most people often complain about labor education, there are some advantages for us. Labor education can help us make it a good rule to clean environment around. Furthermore, we can also gain some experiences from labor education. Above all, labor education can help us broaden interpersonal relationship. During labor education, we can even get acquainted with a great number of different friends. Maybe they can help me in the future when I face with difficulties.

Recently, I often think that I have already swept the floor for about two semesters. That is to say, labor education is about to end. As soon as I think I will complete labor education, I am in a good mood. I believe most people expect that the labor education can end soon.
