#1. Adding Insult to IntroductionCollege presidents generally don't slam their guest speakers, but when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accepted an invitation to speak at Columbia University, critics excoriated the school for giving a dictator such a lofty platform. But instead of rescinding the invite, Columbia president Lee Bollinger introduced Ahmadinejad by noting that Mahmoud resembles a "petty and cruel dictator" and that his denial of the Holocaust is "ridiculous." Bollinger's remarks outraged chancellors of Iranian universities, one of whom said, "Insult, in a scholarly atmosphere, to the president of a country...is deeply shameful." Many in the U.S. agreed.

Music Play What Role In My Life

2007-12-06T07:51:00.000-08:00

Music is a kind of medicine which can cure my anxiety.Everytime when I was in blue, I always turn on the mp3.While the music playing, I was indulged in the rhythm and the beat.I will not only focus on the lyrics ,but also be touched by it.After one song finished , the other one bring me another new feeling so that I indulged in the other phenomena. Once it move on to my favorite song , all the sadness,anxiety,madness will disappear.It seems that music do has some magic power to fix my bad mood..The rhythm brings happy to me,and the beat give me energy.It’s hard to imagine one day without music with me.

HW3 Revise my Comprehensive English Enhancement Plan

2007-11-09T08:49:00.000-08:00

***Take a close look at Common European Framework (CEF) and fairly assess your level. Then state clearly where you think you stand in terms of ability in listening to and reading in English:

i think i am in between level c1 and c2 . when i read the English news paper or the time magzine,i still feel several words hard to understand .Untill now, i've felt that i can only understand 60% of the article. As for the listening, i think i should pay more effort to understand 100% of the content in ICRT.

1.Specific goal :
*Pass the LTTC (medium high level) at the end of October.

*Pass the Toeic test at the end of November ,and my goal is to achieve 700 grades.

2.Specific Actions :
*Go to cram school every week from Augest(the way to push me keep studying after the college entran exam)

*read English news paper and magzine every day.

*listen to ICRT whenever i have free time.

*memorize more vocabulary.

*review what i learn every week.

3.The English classes that I am taking this year:
*the English class in school--4 hours a week

*the English cram school --6~8 hours a week,including listening,writing,and reading.

How to be a global citizen

2007-11-09T08:09:00.000-08:00

"How to be a global citizn?"This is what we've discussed today in class.
In that time, i just thought of several approaches as follows:

1.pay more attention to the global issue , no matter political or entertainments.

2.care about the people who is suffering from the war ,the starvation ,and the proverty.

3.care about the earth,the only one planet that we can live on.Though we can't reverse the
situation greatly,but once every human beings take some actions , making the enviroment
better will not be a dream anymore.

4.devote my professional to the world oneday in the future.

In my opinion, being a global citizen should take the responsibility of the world ,in other words,
instead of being selfish(thinking everything according to the profit),we should give our love to the every parts of our world
