8：00出门，白魁老号饭庄外卖部的煎饼果子
13路换714至香山
10：00 香山游玩，人很多，天气很好，就是有点热。不太争气，只到了西山晴雪。
14：00至北大，又晕，参观北大竟然要排队。经过农院食堂，突然很想在食堂吃饭，问了，才知道只有北大学生用卡才能吃饭。实在太想经历北大学生的待遇，于是放弃了原先去四合院的晚餐，等到4点半开饭，然后厚着脸皮去吃饭的北大学生借饭卡，借卡的经历很曲折，不过最后还是顺利的在北大吃了饭，还遇见一个学生就是不肯收我们钱的，琢磨着我们也不太像贫困地区来的学生，嘿嘿，还是好人多……
北大门口，814至阜城门内，然后飞奔至335终点站，在还有10分钟人家下班的情况下顺利把交通卡退了。
再然后，在阜城门，解决了购物的任务，13路，回驻地了。
在北京5天了，总的来说，见到的感受到的还都挺喜欢的，以后慢慢沉淀，慢慢写。感谢北京，给了我们5天好天气，虽然在长城上的能见度还是不够好，虽然还是很灰。

Tour in Beijing--4th day
8：00出门，早餐，还是去了白魁老号饭庄
8：30坐车，104换814到故宫北门，游故宫
12：00 午餐 满福楼涮肉
1：00 坐车去奥林匹克公园（谢谢Judy，送我的票子），但是因为人太多，和故宫比，差不多了。所以较早离开。
4：00 又到后海，看见有人在前海游泳，吃了三佰瑞的冻酸奶，很不错。
6：00 好不容易找到九门小吃，其间经过摄政王俯，摄政王马号，摄政王祠堂，现在都改了，一个是幼儿园，一个是宗教协会，还有一个不记得是什么了。都改作他用了。北京就是一个随地都是保护建筑的地方。吃饭的时候，真有意思，像在比赛，先要跑步比赛，后要比智力，看如何能抢到位子，如何能保护住自己占到的位子。不过说实话，在北京，没怎么等待过。地铁，基本都是到了就来，没等过，乘车到长城，美丽的误会，插了一次队。买票，基本听从警察的指引，不排队。这次也是，一不小心找到了位子了。其间，有3个人高马大的男生，和我们拼桌，不过他们找不到椅子，只能站着吃。他们硬是不相信我们是上海人，实在是不明白这是为什么。
后海的那一段比我们前几天去的那一块好，人没那么多，pub门口拉生意的也没那么吓人，看到的车也好很多。还是没进pub，吃完了，就准备回去了。

Tour in Beijing--3rd day
4：30 起床
5：00 打车往天安门
5：20 到达天安门，步行至人群聚集区，准备观看升旗。
6：09 升旗仪式 其实没看到什么，国歌也根本听不清楚，就只能听到鼓点，今天应该国歌奏3遍的，但是人们在第2遍没结束的时候就已经开始撤了，我们也就走了。
6：30 出发至长城，上长城的路狠堵，停停走走差不多一个多小时。
10：00-14：30 游长城
14：30 919路，回德胜门，换5路准备至前门。回德胜门用了1小时，5路开了整整1个半小时，最后在天安门西，我们决定下车步行。
18：00 晚餐 北京炸酱面，服务员很怪，关门不让进的。怪人……
19：00-21：00 步行逛街，游大栅栏，正阳桥等地方……
找地铁站比较痛苦，因为天安门和前门的地铁站都封站了，所以要走道崇文门，北京的路，看上去不远，走走却走得够呛。北京，好大阿……
总的来说，今天挺高兴的，早上，本来要排很长的队乘919路的，没想到，呵呵，没排就乘上了，晚上吃饭，本来的命运是要被关在门外的，总觉得那人不讲理，一推门，也就进去了，没和别人一样趴在窗外看啊看的 。

北京游记 1st day
9-28 19：38 Z22次火车从上海站驶出，我开始了去北京的旅行。
9-29 7：06 火车到达了北京站，
8:00-11:30 游车河
11:30-12:30午餐 全聚德烤鸭店和平门店
2:00-4:00 北海公园
4:00-9:00 后海区域
晚餐 烤肉季
游记：
还没下火车，就听见隔壁的孩子在唱“北京欢迎你”了，呵呵，北京，欢迎我了。
朋友用车把我接到了住的酒店。酒店是通过Ctrip定的。在交道口南大街和张自忠路口的博泰酒店，离地铁５号线张自忠路站挺近的，公共交通也挺方便的。就是图便宜，定的房间不怎么好，比如家，锦江之星之类的经济型酒店的房间都还要小。比较好的是酒店有宽带可以上网。
因为是一早到的，所以要等酒店服务员整理房间，这个倒是Ctrip的服务员一早就告知过的，所以也有心理准备。比较以外的是，酒店的前台有点“顶针”，看着我们登记入住２个人，实际来了３个人，于是用很威胁的口气说“我们这里晚上会查房的。”诶……又不给加床，结果搞得我们还担心了一天。后来证明，其实，根本就没什么，哈哈……
朋友很客气，一早带着我们在北京转悠，二环路兜了一圈，三环逛了东边部分。看到了北京的市容市貌，８点多的时候，在二环路，和我们逆行的１号车道封路，还不断的有零星警车经过，朋友突然说是不是宇航员回来了，其实我也不知道，看到有黑色的车经过，就拿起照相机拍，搞的朋友猛踩刹车……不知道有没有影响到后面的司机哦。
游车河的确是了解一个城市的很好的方法，经过了金融街，全国最有钱的地方。一直都只在电视上看到中国人民银行大门的样子，这次我们看到了后门，嘿嘿，还有很有怀旧气息的叫法“传达室”。后来我们发现，在北京，很多大单位的门卫，都叫传达室，很不习惯这种古老的叫法了，但是，这个，就是北京。
午饭，朋友请我吃了全聚德烤鸭，在和平门店吃的，我们吃了该店有记载以来的第115669709只鸭子。值得一吃，不过我不觉得我喜欢这个味道，了解过，也就行了，有时候吃饭，是吃一个历史，就如前段时间去的楼外楼。
下午，朋友把我们送到北海，她也要回天津欢度国庆了。白天我们在环路上没堵车，不过，从和平门到北海的路，足足花了２个小时的时间。让我第一次感受到了北京的堵车。动都不动的堵，唯一不堵的路段是中南海门口，一段红墙那里，我们也满怀好奇的想知道里面都住着谁，不过作为游客，我们肯定不得而知，也许当地人会知道吧。
北海公园，有着我童年的记忆，不是因为来过，而是因为小学语文课本里那篇课文，和那首曾经所有小学生都会唱的歌。
出了北海公园，根据原先画的地图，我们去了后海，先租了一部自行车，在后海区域逛，其间还发现了鸦儿胡同一条很僻静的胡同，胡同里有一个庙，不过也许在整修，所以不像是对外开放的样子。我们经过什刹海的时候刚好葛优在拍电视，围观了很多人。
晚餐在德天聚华烤肉季吃的，看了大众点评上的推荐去吃的，它似蜜不太好吃，烤羊肉倒是还不错。值得推荐的，还是那句话，吃饭，更多的是吃文化。
后海的pub我不太喜欢，到处都是拉客的人，歌声也很吵，吵到在路上可以听到多个歌手唱的。前海那边的景色，个人觉得比后海好，沿河的座位，晚上坐坐还是不错的，不过我们最后也没坐。因为事先打的地图在吃饭的时候掉了，所以会宾馆的时候有点小紧张，还好，记忆力还行，摸索着也就回了酒店。
北京游，第一天，还真的挺开心的呢。收获颇多。
在北京的第一印象就是大，北京，什么都大……
很期待后几天的行程……

And then, I found something interesting that I have miss Mark's class two times, once I went to the wrong place to take the wrong class, and once I was stranded by the shower. It was a pity.

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP(2)? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP(2,出现，存在)? Why do we speak UP(3) and why are the officers UP(具备) for election and why is it UP to(someone's duty) to the secretary to write up(4) a report?
We call up(5) our friends, And we use it to brighten UP(4) a room, polish UP(3/4) the silver(引申意：刀叉); we warm up(3) the leftovers(剩菜剩饭) and clean up(4) the kitchen, We lock UP(5) the house and som guys fix UP(4) the old car.
At other times, the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble(搅局，找麻烦), line up(排队) for tickets, work UP(有做某事的心情) an appetite, and think UP excuses(找借口).
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP(4) is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain(厕所，厨房的下水管道) must be poened UP(疏通) beacuse it is stopped UP(5). We open UP(5) a store in the morning but we close it up(5) at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP(搅) about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in a dictionary. In a desk-sized dicitonary, it takes up(占据) almost 1/4th of the page an can add UP(加在一起) to about eighty definitions. If you are UP to(someone's duty) it, you might try building UP(2) a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP(占据) a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP(放弃), you may wind(/waind/) UP(finish,得出)with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP(5). When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP(6).
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP(泥泞不堪). When it doesn't rain of awhile, things dry UP(6).
'Face UP(accept接受)...you like this!
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP(finish,打住，结束), for now my time is UP(over), so .........Time to shut UP(6)....!

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP(2)? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP(2,出现，存在)? Why do we speak UP(3) and why are the officers UP(具备) for election and why is it UP to(someone's duty) to the secretary to write up(4) a report?
We call up(5) our friends, And we use it to brighten UP(4) a room, polish UP(3/4) the silver(引申意：刀叉); we warm up(3) the leftovers(剩菜剩饭) and clean up(4) the kitchen, We lock UP(5) the house and som guys fix UP(4) the old car.
At other times, the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble(搅局，找麻烦), line up(排队) for tickets, work UP(有做某事的心情) an appetite, and think UP excuses(找借口).
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP(4) is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain(厕所，厨房的下水管道) must be poened UP(疏通) beacuse it is stopped UP(5). We open UP(5) a store in the morning but we close it up(5) at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP(搅) about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in a dictionary. In a desk-sized dicitonary, it takes up(占据) almost 1/4th of the page an can add UP(加在一起) to about eighty definitions. If you are UP to(someone's duty) it, you might try building UP(2) a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP(占据) a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP(放弃), you may wind(/waind/) UP(finish,得出)with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP(5). When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP(6).
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP(泥泞不堪). When it doesn't rain of awhile, things dry UP(6).
'Face UP(accept接受)...you like this!
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP(finish,打住，结束), for now my time is UP(over), so .........Time to shut UP(6)....!
Oh...one more thing:

Personality Test
Do you know yourselves well?
How can we learn the strengths and weaknesses of ourselves?
Have you ever do a personality test?
Today, I joined the mini activity called "Personality Test". I've learned a useful and easy method to do the personality test. It called DIS. This test measures four categories of an individual's personality: dominance, infuluence, steadiness, and consientiousness.
The type of my Disc Personality is C/D.
Designer/Adminsitrator
Tends to act in a careful and convervative manner.
Strengths:Both a perfectionist and a driver; ambitious, prepared and organized.
Weaknesses: Can be difficult to get along with; rarely satisfied; can be nitpicky.
Altough I don't want to be a person who is difficult to get along with, but it is almost accurate to my personality. Personality test is a scientific method to analys someones personality. But in the DISC personality test, there are only 12 types of personality, while there are 6 billion persons in the world. Each of us has the different personality. So I think I just want to be what I am. Through the personality test , I can realise the weakness of myself and to change them ,then I'll be more and more nice.
So take it easy.
And, I've learned many new words today.
Influence, steady, dominace, conscientiousness, strength, behaviour...
And, I also have made some new friends. I've told my teacher that how to say the word"sexist:" in Chinese. Today's teacher is Clemon. A nice teacher, but I think Jesse is more handson, hahaha.....

Forbidden English
This is my first time to enjoy the activity. Today's topic is "Forbidden English".
Evan give me a green name card to represent that I'm new here.
I've preview the Warm-up questions about the topic according to the E-mail which John sended me yesterday. I search the "four-letter word" in Wikipadia to know what the meaning is.
Today, I've learned some offensive words and learned how to use these word on the right occation and the right time. Maybe I'll never use these words neither in English or in Chinese, but at least I can understand the meaning when others say these words.
In the past 2 hours, I just only say in English, try my best to let the Crew understand what I want to express, and try my best to understand what others say.
I also made some new friends today, Polly, Steven, Jesse, Jess...We were the same group to discuss the topic during the 2-hour English Time.
I were enjoy it today.

Begin to Talk English
This is my first time to write blog in english. This is my first time to attend train course in Talk English. Yesterday, i attended the first step course which topic is AMS workshop.
Sharon who is our teacher of this course let us stand in a round and introduse ourselves to eachother. We should say that "Hello, my name is XXX, nice to meet you." three times and shake hands to eachother. It's funny that the girl who stand next to the person next to me has the same english name of mine. So when I introdused me to the other Ellen, we both laughed."Hi Ellen, I am Ellen, nice to meet you."
There were 19 person besides Sharon and me in this class. I try to remember their name as much as possible. Ellen Jiang, Ellie, Nina, Caroline, Yuki, Vash, Diana, Dickey, John, Andy, Logan, Jing, Grace, Jacey, Joanna, Rachel ...... I failed to remember them all. :(
Then Sharon let us to play a game named "Bumpty...Bump...Bump...Bump". The player choose anyone he liked, and stand before him. Then the there were four persons that player who calls "me", the selected person who calls "you", the peson on the right to the selected peson who calls "right"and the person on the left to the selected person who calls "left". The player would say one of these four words and "Bumpty...Bump...Bump...Bump". The selected person should name the peson befor the end of the sound"Bumpty...Bump...Bump...Bump". If the secleted person fails to name the person, he will changed the places with the player. Otherwise, the play will selecte another person to continue this game. I thank it was not difficult at the beginning. I tried my best to remember the name who stand beside me, and imaged the situation when I was selected. Unfortunatelly, I failed. But I changed the places with other person to play this game successefuuly soon. Heihei, the way to change other peson is that we must say the "Bumpty...Bump...Bump...Bump"right following we say "you"/"me"/"left" or "right". Speak quickly is the key to sucess.
The next game Sharon told us named "Nine Balls". She let us stand in round again, and gave us 9 balls. We should transport the ball one by one.Sharon selceted the first person to start the transportation. We can choose any one who is not neibour to us and is not selected by others. We must fininsh transport the 9 balls in 10 mins. We should keep the ball not dropped, otherwise we must start the transportaion from the first ball. At the begging we looked confusion. We all focused our attention on the ball which flying between us. So when we transported the third ball, we failed the game. And then, we failed the game again at the second ball, and failed again at the third ball. Then, Sharon asked us that what happened, and let us analyse the cause of the faliure and make the sollution to the problems. After that, we tried again. Although we failed again at the sixth ball, but we just spent two and a half mins to transport six balls. We have plenty of time to finish the begginning.
Sharon told us that there was no community between the game and english studing. But there was something similar. When we study, we should recognize ourselves trully, and make a smart goal, and plan how to realize it, and do it everyday.
I try to write in English first time. I'm sure that I've made too many mistakes. Don't laugh at me ,and please help me correct it. I'll stick on to write dairy in English. :)

We should transport the ball one by one.Sharon selceted the first person to start the transportation. We can choose any one who is not neibour to us and is not selected by others. We must fininsh transport the 9 balls in 10 mins. We should keep the ball not dropped, otherwise we must start the transportaion from the first ball. At the begging we looked confusion. We all focused our attention on the ball which flying between us. So when we transported the third ball, we failed the game. And then, we failed the game again at the second ball, and failed again at the third ball. Then, Sharon asked us that what happened, and let us analyse the cause of the faliure and make the sollution to the problems. After that, we tried again. Although we failed again at the sixth ball, but we just spent two and a half mins to transport six balls. We have plenty of time to finish the begginning.
Sharon told us that there was no community between the game and english studing. But there was something similar. When we study, we should recognize ourselves trully, and make a smart goal, and plan how to realize it, and do it everyday.
