手工技艺比赛，一等奖

您好！

　　明天是劳动节所以放一天假。这个周末我和朋友们打算去佛山和长隆动物园。佛山是著名的武术家［黄飞鸿］的家乡。明天早上坐公共汽车出发。然后星期六想去动物园看熊猫。我一次熊猫也没看过，所以要利用假期去看一看。

　　我的学校举行一场布置黑板的比赛。这场比赛叫做　“手工技艺比赛”。每个班可以用脸谱、剪纸、与画画把黑板布置好。学校给了每个班两个星期的时间。于四月二十七日老师们来检查哪个班布置得最漂亮。那天，门口的黑板贴上了一张新通知。通知上写着　“汉语系留学生手工技艺比赛获奖名单”。一等奖有两个班。第一是［初下Ａ班］。看下一个的班使我感觉非常高兴。我的班［初下Ｂ１班］赢了，得了一等奖。一等奖得了２００块钱。虽然不多，但是这些钱付出了我们花的时间与力量。说实话，第一天我们开始布置黑板，我觉得我们一定有赢的机会。果然如此。

　　我们用三个下午才布置好教室。下课之后就给印尼菜饭店打电话，点几个午饭。虽然我觉得不太好吃，不过我的外国朋友都很喜欢。他们都说印尼菜很好吃。我的班一共有二十一个学生，但是只七八个同学愿意帮忙。我问其他同学,他们都点头着说：“好的，我一定来帮忙”。但是，连看都没有。懒死了。他们说要来帮忙，其实不是这样。算了吧，没有那些懒同学，我们也可以把教师布置漂亮一些。我们分别做手工艺。几个同学做剪纸、其他同学用蜡笔把脸谱的轮廓着色好、另外同学用假的梅花与树叶把黑板布置布置。我和朋友们也做了二十一只小猪。为什么是猪呢？首先是猪很可爱。第二，因为上课时同学们常常没有精神，休息时他们都在桌子上睡觉，睡得不知道已开始上课了。看这样的情况老师就说：“起床啊！！”。很可笑。这二十一只猪表示我们二十一个同学。黑板的上面也贴着一句成语：“玉不琢不成器，人不学不成才”，很有意思。门上也贴着几个字：“我爱汉语”，还贴着很多小小的星星。我觉得我的班很特别。





初下猪班，加油！！

再见。

广州的饭店

你好！

这是我第一次用汉语写博客。看一看我写得好不好。

现在广州的天气越来越热了。如果晴天的话，感觉很热。很少刮风。我老师说广州的春天是最不好的。她也说“三月天，孩子脸”。这句成语的意思是三月份的天气像孩子的脸。孩子什么时候想哭就哭，什么时候想笑就笑，没有决定的时间。春天时医院是最热闹的，由于很多人生病。:D

现在我对广州的环境，情况，基本上习惯了。虽然广州有各种各样好吃的食物，但是我还想念泗水的菜。我学校附近有很多饭店，有高档的，中档，低档等。如果我赶时间或者不要花太多钱，我可以去食堂吃饭。食堂的菜又很多种又好吃又便宜。我一般花五块钱就吃饱了。每天在食堂吃饭都不会吃腻。哈哈。。

如果想吃烧烤可以在学校东门的对面一座饭店。虽然很多人喜欢在那儿吃饭，但是我觉得它们的菜是一般的。马马虎虎。

这里也有韩国菜的饭店。可好吃。。从东门往北走，大概150米就到了。没想到韩国菜很好吃。每次来吃饭，都会得到一种免费的食物。买单时老板也给我们打折。老板是搬到中国的韩国人。

北京路的附近也有两座外国菜饭店。一座是泰国菜饭店，另一座是越南菜饭店。全部都高档的饭店。如果你们想吃，最好带几个朋友一起吃饭，要不你会觉得贵死了。哈哈哈。。:D

泰国菜虽然好吃但是很辣与很多用椰子汁。我不大喜欢。越南菜我觉得是一般。几种是跟泰国和印尼菜一样。没有韩国才那么好吃。

晚上给你们讲这段故事使我饿。。哈哈哈。。

好的，先写到这儿。下一次再写。

晚安。^_^/

Arthur

Arthur was a university student. This year was Arthur's last year in university. Arthur loves his university lives. He got a lot of friends. They shared everything. They always supports each other. He felt glad but he also felt sad.

Nobody knows deep within Arthur's mind, he is wondering if he took a wrong major. On the first year he felt excited with the major he took. Later on the last few years he wonder if he should take another major instead.

Arthur never talk to his parent about this problem. Until one day, he found the answer of his question.

That was last sunday afternoon. Arthur decided to take a walk at the beach. The sunset was very beautiful. The orange sky, the sparkling water, the sound of the wave. It was very peaceful. He saw an old man, maybe about 70-year old. That man is sitting peacefully on the sea sand. Something in Arthur's mind told him to sit and talk with that old man.

Arthur: Grandpa, can I sit here?

Grandpa : Of course boy, why not? So how is your day boy?

Arthur: Fine.

Grandpa: That's it? Judging from your face, looks like you had a bad day aren't you? Come on young boy, enjoy your day. Live each day to the fullest. Oh, I miss those days when I was still young. When I still have a lot of energy, chasing my dream, going out with friends and do crazy things.

Arthur: Not really grandpa. Yeah, what you said is true. I know that we had to live each day to the fullest. But, I have something in my mind that always bother me.

Grandpa: Ohh.. What is it my boy?

Arthur: Actually, you're the first person I'm going to talk about this problem.

Grandpa: Okay, go on..

Arthur: Grandpa, I'm in the last year of my university lives. It was really fun. I got wonderful friends that always there to support me. But, lately I think if I took a wrong major. I think I'm not suited to this major. Okay at first I love this major but in the end, I felt like this major isn't really the best major for me. This problem always wandering in my head.

Grandpa: Hahaha.. Believe it or not boy, I also experienced that kind of thing when I'm still in university.

Arthur: Really?

Grandpa: Yeah. I took the Law major instead of Business major. At first I really want to be a lawyer. But later on my life, I thinkbeing business man is more suited for me. But I glad that I took the wrong major.

Arthur: You glad because you took a wrong major? That's kinda weird. Why Grandpa?

Grandpa: Boy, if you can turn back time, would you take the other major instead of your current major?

Arthur: Of course Grandpa. I would take the other major. Why you even asked a question like that. Everyone wants an ability to turn back time.

Grandpa: That's not true boy. If you asked me that question, my answer is "No".

Arthur : Why grandpa ?

Grandpa: Why? Well it's a long story but i'll try to make it short. My university lives is the best memory i ever had. I found my best friend there who later became my foster family. I Love them. Until now i still keeps contact with them. That period of time, I've experienced all kind of human emotions. Happiness, Sadness,Pain, Anger, Sorrow, Love, Hate, and..... what's the other? I forgot. Sigh, Ah forget it... That moment of time played a big role in my life. It changed me to a better person. If I take the other major instead, I don't think I can be the one like now. I will not exchange these memories with everything in this world.

Arthur: You're lucky to had a beautiful university lives like that. And me?? Sigh...... The other major I want to take is also business major. I want to be a entrepreneur.

Grandpa: Boy, don't be so down. Listen, The best major for entrepreneurship is whatever you want to study most. That would be literature or fine arts if that's what you love. Education comes first, then business. Study what you want and then let the career follow; don't study what you think makes a better career. People change careers three times in an average life, but you get to do education only once.

Arthur: *Amazed with old man words. Not saying a word*

Grandpa: Do you know, We only regret what we haven't done. I don't regret what I've done – it's part of growing up. Boy, you can do what you want, be what you want, if you put your mind into it.

Arthur: Wow... What you've said amazed me grandpa. I'm happy to sit right here and have a talk with you. Actually it's one of the best night in my lives. Thank you Grandpa.

Grandpa: No problem boy. It's a common youngster problem. Thank you for accompanying me enjoying this beautiful sunset. It's a beautiful day. It's dinner time, you better hurry. Don't make your mother worry.

*Arthur stand up and looking at the old man*.

Arthur: Thank you for your advice grandpa. I'll go now.

Arthur walked about 5 meters and turned his head back.

Arthur: Hey Grandpa, why are you sitting right here all alone ?

Grandpa: *Smilling and looking at Arthur* I don't know boy. Something in my mind told me to go to the beach. It's the first sunset since the last 5 year.

Arthur smilling and continue walking home. Right now he felt he is a different person. Right now he know the answer of his question.

~FIN~
