Riding bicycle

Summer is coming. Do you like ride a bike? This time is the best for you to ride a bike. You can notice surrounding in the town; moreover, you can do your exercise at the same time. I don't used to ride the bike too much because I prefer to motocycle. I rememmber that I ride bicycle when I was young. In fact, riding bicycle is interesting in here. We can ignored boring exercise instead of ride bicycle. Before I didn’t know why Canadian like to do activities outside, but now I know. I think winter time was so boring for us because we can not do outdoor activities. I think, if you feel boring, riding the bicycle may help you feel better. This is website that you can read rule of riding bicycle in Toronto. http://www.toronto.ca/ems/safety_tips/bicycle_1.htm

The ROM

Have you ever planned to travel around the world? How much money does it cost you to do so? $10,000 or more, maybe? Last weekend, I and my friends just spent one-quarter of day and $12 to travel around the world. The ROM (The Royal Ontario Museum), which is one of the best museum in the world. The ROM has first established since March 19, 1914 with fewer objects to look at; however, the museum became fascinated to everybody around the world after the reestablishment and new renovation of the museum on June 3, 2007. Annually, the ROM welcomes approximately about one million visitor from all over the world.Why would many people like to visit the museum? The ROM, which is as big as 80,000 square feet, is the world of everybody. Hundreds of millions of objects from all over the world are available in the museum, divided into different sections where they should be. By visiting the museum, visitors will see clearly the diversity of different cultures and civilizations of many tribes of human beings as well as animal. Historical and political from the ancient until recent year is also found in the museum.
This was the first time that I saw mummy and many wonderful objects from all over the world. It did not feel tire after many hours explored; however, I found my trip fascinated and I tremendously loved it. I strongly recommend everyone take a chance to visit the ROM, which is not just a museum, but it is a world of everything you would never imagine to experience in your whole life.

Let think about Steven Jobs

Steven Jobs is now a successful man in IT, listen his story then we may find what differences between Jobs and Gate. I'm really convince of Steven's story that help me to learn many things.
LINK HERE

Frist story(connecting the dot): He said about his family when he was young. At that time, his biological mother was young ungraduate student, so she put him in adaption. His biologial mother found out that his parents not good, but his parents promised that he could go to college. He dropped out the college to take another course because he was not interested in his class. Finally, he found the inresting one for him. He said he had made many bad decisions in his life that he couldn't realize by looking forward, only do it by looking backward.

Second story(love and loss): Steven told us about his job.Sound liked he was very interesting his job even if he was fired. He said we should do something that we truely like to do and do scared lose face. Keep looking not settle.

Third story (The death): "People affraid of death even they've know they can reach the heaven" Steven state. He was facing to the death because his cancer. The doctor said him to prepair to die, yet he suffered from the death by a surgery. He said we should do somethings that follow your heart because it help you to confirm exactly what you want to do.
The last sentence he enphasized to us : "Stay hungry, stay foolish".

After I listen his speech, I thought about my life. I felt I had lost many things. I sure that I had a better situation than Steven, yet I'm not successful like him. He said we should do something we like, but actually it is not true. You're difficult to do sth you like because the life somtimes is very complex. I convince of doing sth by your heart and don't follow someone's speech. Finally, I fell Steven is a successfull man.

Student led discussion

Today, I have a student led discussion group. My partner is Lily, and she is absent today; however, she gave me the handout that related to our topic before, so it is helpful for me to present to everyone. There were four student come to my discussion, and I was surprise about Don's appearance. My topic is about Canada's environment; it is also my research topic. Therefore, I have some ideas about the topic. I saw that everyone were listening and taking note carefully, so I was happy and interested to present what I know about the topic. There were few students asked me many questions about the topic, and few of questions that I can answer to them. Fortunately, Don help me very much to answer these question.
In last few minute, I got a lot of opinions from the students about how Canada should protect their environment. I think it is helpful for my research very much, and I can quote them on my paper. Finally, this discussion group helps me to improve my presentation skills, especially my research paper.

The best of nature

Link here

SUMMARY:
The film talks about the wild life, and it also talks about the habit and behavior of many different animals. In wild life, animals are different each other such as habit,behavior and habitat, so these create a nature. Moreover, animals are a close relationship together which establishes a circle in life. For example, plants are eaten by herbivore, and herbivore are eaten by carnivore. Furthermore, animals also have different habits such as living and reproduction. For example, in the winter the birds always migrate to South to avoid the cold. Hence, the diversity of nature has created a bond between animals.

COMMENT: This film is very interesting to me because the wild life is diversify. The diversity of nature is very wide, so people still don't know and acknowledge much. The film is excellent that it shoots many lively scenes. For example, they shoot a scene of panther's hunting. I'm very interested in the scene that the camera shoot the dance of the bird, haha they dance like Michale Jason, very cute and funny.

Lecture! Lecture !

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to enjoy to a lecture after class; however, I feel tired , so I decide to go home. That's why I have to find an online lecture (Link here).
The lecture talks about the structure and function of body. The major point is arteries of nerve's system. The lecturer tell us a lot of vocabulary that is very important to study this faculty such as artery(vessel), carotid(hard to explain ), femur(bone leg), etc... Also the lecturer point out some strategies to study. In the main part, she tells a lot of terminologies of arteries and the function of them. In the final part, she says a little bit about the brain.
I think this lecture is very interesting because of the lecturer. She is very humoristic. She asks; for example, the students what the penis means , no one can answer then she told them: "It's a tail". The interaction between the teacher and student is quite good. Actually, I don't understand some parts that she talks about the nerves, it's too hard because many vocabularies I've never known. Her voice is very clear, so I think it's easy to listen.
