Recycling and alternative energies

We live in a world where the natural resources are limited. During our life we can use thousands of products, and they are made with natural resources. A lot of these products can be reused, for example: paper, plastic bottles or cans, can have other different live again and again. On this way we will not need cut more trees, or waste more petroleum or aluminum that we need actually.

As important as recycling is the use of alternative energies, for example water, wind and sun power. All of them can be used like a different choice. Today we are obtaining electricity of nuclear power plants, and thermal power plants. They need to work natural resources, like uranium and coal. The point is that we need to produce enormous amounts of energy to turn on all our stuff: electronic devices, appliances, light, … So we need to waste huge amounts of natural resources.

Everybody needs to know about the main idea of recycling and alternative energies. But how many of us know how to recycling? We are devastating the planet and we and our children need a healthy planet to live. On the other hand, today is very difficult to change our energy system 100%, but we need to compatible the use of both energies: traditional and alternative.

What is your goals?

What is your goals in your whole life? Maybe it is become rich, healthy, happy.  Everyone is different

from others. Everyone mush has your own goals. If you donot have it, you cannot have positive attitude

to do things. That means you will not find the purport that you live in the world. At that time, life means

nothing to you. You must lost yourself, and feel despairing. All in all, find our goals is the most

important thing, so that we can find the real meaning of living. Then achieve it.

This is the most famous place at Wenzhou (Statue of Five Horses)it is a very old street.It’s a shopping street, have the most famous brand is here. But I think it is just a Local landscape. So welcome everyone come to wenzhou.

Wenzhou is my hometown. It is in southeastern Zhejiang province. Wenzhou is not very big, but there are about 3039500 people. A lot of Chinese knows that Wenzhou people are good at make Leather shoes, but that’s not all. There is a history about that. There was a man and he was very poor, but he helped people clean shoes for life (in china, it was a job too) and saved the money. After that, he opened his first leather shoes factory and became the richest person in Wenzhou. Wenzhou people are very good at business such as real estate, factory. And now, Wecitinzhou is one of the richest es in China.

Chinese New Year's party

    I had a wonderful party on this Tuesday. it was a community Chinese New Year'sparty. All of the guests were from the same town as me in China. there were around 20 tables at that day.  I and my husband were so surprise that so many people who came form the same city as us. The party had three parts. First part, the compere showed us the recent developments of Enping city where we came from on T.V. Those pictures were so familiar to us. we talked to other guests that we had been the place where showed in the video, and someone eles said that they just lived next the place when they were in China. We just liked a neighboor with the people who sat in the same table.Second part was donation. In order to improve the community, when the compere made some very funny joks to asked the guests to donation money, all of the guests were laughting so loudly.When the compere thanked for the donationer, I just realized that the most stores in China Town were owned by the people who came form my home town. The last part is Karoke. Whoever could sing, but just some old men sang. They sang some very old fashion song, it reminded me if my parents were here, they would be very happy.I was sure that my father  would sing a lot and play the chinese music. It was a wonderful night for my Chinese New Year.

The meaning of the words

My friend Souleymane is answering himself in his own writing blog, why U.S. people use the word soccer instead of football? And I would like to help him. I´ve been finding out and there are several theories about the same topic.

Maybe you need first what soccer/football is, here we go. It´s a sport where 22 people are playing in a big grass rectangular field to get the ball, and they only can hit it with the feet. The objective is score a goal to the other team. This is the origin of the name foot-ball.

One of them says that the word soccer comes of the Latin word “soccus”. The meaning of this word is shoe. This shoe seems like the boots that soccer players use to play soccer today. The other theory comes from England. When the English created, designed and invented football (soccer) in 1863, they did one association to unify the rules and specifications of the game. This association was called “Association Football”. When the football arrived to the U.S., American people had the custom in the American English to add the suffix –er to all the words. And they called their own Football Association “asoccer”, and finally over the years called it soccer.

Like all theories in the world you can or can´t believe it. I don´t know which one is correct or incorrect. Maybe it can be that no one is correct. But I hope that you, my friend can have an idea about the origin of the word soccer. What do you think about these two theories? There is one more persuasive or powerful than the other one?

Maybe you, dear reader, know words of your country or your own lenguage, that American people have changed the word and they use one different but it means the same thing than yours.

Take care.

My plan

 I`m going to come back China for vacation with my mother in the end of this year. One important

reason is we will have a month off at that time. So that I have enough time to enjoy in China. I have

been here about ten month, and I miss my family very much, especially my grandmother. I grew up

with her all the time, I lived in her home.  She also teaches me how to become a responsible person. I

love her so much. Besides, I miss my cousins and friends either. I love them.  I miss all of my family,

and friends. I can not wait for that moment, I am so excited about that.  I wish I will have a wonderful

vacation at that time.

Bus or train, what do you prefer?



When I have enough time I like to go to the places walking, but if I have to go far away from where I am, then I need to take the public transport, because I have no car right now. Ok, then I need to take a decision about how I want to go to that place.

Bus or train are the two options that I use to move around the city. Bus is maybe slower than train, but you can see the city views while you are in. However there are a lot of stops in the way until that you arrive wherever you go. You may find a traffic jump in the road too, and if it's snowing it can be a problem that the bus goes on his way for. On the other hand train use to be faster and it does less stops than bus. But if you like listen the radio and you go in underground train you can't listen your favorite program in the morning....

Usually if I have to go to close places I prefer use the bus. However if I need to go far away I like train more than bus. But you know what? both of them are very boring....

Well, what do you prefer?
