I lay down on bed reading a book after lunch .Outside ,the rain has temporarily&nbsp;stopped .A puff of cool breeze came to my face immediately as i opened my window,which made me feel so good .I like this kind of feeling .there on the power lines near my window,&nbsp;several sparrows are&nbsp;happily hopping and twittering .Suddenly I found that even this rainy day has its own beauty <br /><span><br />You know ,i'm such a nostalgic man who become sentimental easily whenever i hear an old song or see an old&nbsp;photo&nbsp;.I can still remember very clearly that when I was a young boy ,I liked to go angling in ponds during rainy days in summer .I enjoyed listening to the sound of the rain falling on&nbsp; umbrella,and watching the raindrops hit the surface of the water .I could&nbsp;always have a great time playing with my mates at that time .&nbsp;Unfortunately ,the good old days can never come back again .It can only reappear in my memory :( <br /><span><br />It is a pity that in today's fast-paced society ,people often forget to stop to enjoy the beauty of nature. Perhaps just as someone has said that life is full of beauty ,only depends on whether you can find it . Life is really wonderful ,so let's fully enjoy what life gives us and&nbsp; learn to treasure what we have .</span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><img src="http://b11.qzone.qq.com/ac/b.gif" border="0" /></p> Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:15:42 GMT Jason Chu https://www.englishbaby.com/blog/jason_chu/view_entry/84241 <h2>Never Give Up</h2><p><strong>This is my first time to write blog in English here so i feel a little nervous and excited at the same time . First of all , i must say my English is not very good and sometimes i have difficulty expressing myself clearly in English even though i have been learning English for many years ,ha ha ! well, let me tell you guys how i became interested in learning English . About 9 years ago ,one afternoon i turned on my radio and a man's voice came to me saying " Hello ,everybody ! welcome to learn English with me ,this is Peter ," an English teacher from Taiwan . He is a humorous and patient teacher and his teaching methods sounded so fun that i was immediately attracted to it and listened to the program to the end&nbsp; attentively .From then on , i tuned in to his English-teaching programs religiously and of course you can imagine that i have made a lot of progress and learned so much .It is a&nbsp;pity that the programs were off the air in 2006 ,but the pace of learning English for me has never stopped . I'm so happy that i can finally communicate with people from all over the world in English now and my ultimate goal is to be able to speak the language fluently .I believe i can make this dream come true because i will never give up !!</strong></p>
