He even used an hour to open the old man’s room door at night. Why he wanted to kill the old man? He had already said that the old man treated he very good, but why? Just because he though the old man’s eye looks like the vulture ‘s eye. His reason can’t even be a reason for killing people.

ESLII Journal 15: Hip Pop language

Tear the workbook, throw the textbook

It’s not that important

Hind in the kitchen, just not gonna been teaching

Ran away from school, break out all the rules

Step on people’s leg, hit on people's face

Teacher can’t be tell, classmate can’t be help

It’s not that serious

Walk down the normal street

I walk with people’s sight

they all look at me, because I am not same as them

start the scream, sing on the street

it’s my style, it’s my tone

I am trying to describe about the person who is egomaniac and full with confident. Also the people who don’t care about other’s vision, just do the thing they want. Represent themselves without artifice. Show up their style bravely, persevere in their own style and not change it easily. Although some of things might not be very good to do but it also show up this person’s opinion. Have the personal idea, behave very different than others beside them. Just like the teenagers’ create their own style of behavior and thinking, or the teenagers’ who were in rebellious phase. 

ESLII Journal 14: Slang

    Form today's society, people are always busing and don’t have much times doing other things. Also people be more creative by making the new words. Those of words can’t be find in the dictionary, it’s the words that very special and become very useful for people. Because the slang become more and more popular now, sometimes people can’t distinguish the difference between slang and common words. Like the word “Coffee Shop Productivity” it’s mean that people do the work outside their home or officer can do it faster  or more efficient, so they usually went to coffee shop to finish their things. “I usually rely the coffee shop productivity when I got a lot of things to do. It help me to focus on the works, and won’t be distraction on other things.” It mean when I do my works in the coffee shop, it can make me focus on all of my works and won’t doing somethings else before it.

    Slang are popular and common now, not only because they are funny, also because it can express the meaning in the concrete and easy to associate. Slang are useful and even more close to our daily life, had you discovered that you had used the slang without knowing?

ESLII Journal 13: My Style

Every one have their different ways to act themselves in their own life. It show the special from the other, and create the own way form acting yourselves. It’s my style.

I dress black, white, dark green or any other dark color oftenly. I talk very quietly, sometimes is funny and with the strange tune. I can’t endure the orderless computer desktop, so I always put the files in the folder. But most of time my room was a moil, until I can’t endure or step on something. And I like to trance or thinking somethings in the funny ways, it can make my mood become happier. Although sometimes trance is not good at all. For the principle, I don’t like to do the work in the last munite, because I like to do the things on the slow and gentle ways, also it can make the thing’s quality better. And I thing the most element in my style is the lazy and suger, according to my mom’s testimony science I was little I always sleep until lunch time on the weekend, and when I wake up it’s the brunch time. And I like the sweet things very much, for the bad habit I often add too much suger in my drink or eat to much sweet foods. But I just can’t get id of this habit.

Do you have your own style, or you have some style same as me?

Pay attention on the day

Especially for the holiday

Got up with the sunny shine

Golden warm and light

Yawn with the big stretch

Hide in the room

Step on the street

In the lovely time

Easy way to find

Here comes the prefect life

At the smoothing afternoon 

Leave with the rabbit and its pocket watch

In the strange space, surrounded with doors

Clever caterpillar's advice and the tobacco

Eat some magic cake, drink some mysterious drinks

Lobster were dancing and singing by me

In a forest met the beacon Chesshire Cat

During the mad party with the hatter

Drop the tea and suger in the kettle

Eat the queen's pie, who is the prisoner?

Lost the control and grow higher and higher

Lie on sister's lap, is it only the dream?

Her mother still stranded on the original place after her little daughter came back. She was very surprised for her daughter’s behavior. So her mouth didn’t close for a long time. If I was there when my friend asked the way, I will be very surprised, too. After all, in my mind she is pretty, cute and has good temperature. But the thing she made in Japan was very brave and manliness. It completed broke the impressions that I usually had, and change to the girl who is very pretty and brave.

ESLII Journal 3 Below the Surface

Some people like to look vicious, but maybe they were pretty kind people. And some of people look good and honest, but they were the vile people. We can’t know the real part they had. Although some times we can still judged their real surface on the detail. But most of time we can’t judge the real personality from others. The judge that we made mostly is by our first impression. It may full of ours point of view, can’t be objective to the people. So when I pre-judge the unknown people, the only thing I can guess is their personality of their wearing. It can’t represent to the whole personality. It cause I been surprised when I found the new face of them. Because you had never think that this people were had this kind of behavior or said some words that were very different than your point of view. But it also made me happy and though that I finally find out the real they. It mains that they won’t think I am the outlander and show their reliance to me. So we can’t used the first impression to represent someone, it will be impolite when you put on your personal point of view on others.

ESLII Journal 2 Effort?

ESLII Topic 1 Poetry

Poems can be short and bon’t have to be a complete sentence. So it’s more simple than the other works. It just like the short paragraph, some of the poems can make like the song also the story. You can write any kinds and  anything in the poems. But the special of the poems is the sounds, it pay attention on the syllable and the rhyme. In the common writing, we won’t use the syllable and rhyme, but poems does. It make the poem more vivid, when you read it it can make you feel like you’re sing a song. Poem isn’t common like the essay, but it also full in our life. It can been seem on the advertising, the beverage bottle, in the MRT also some of people usually use it in their ordinary life. Some of advertising can make people get closer to their new products, and make the advertising have the better temperament. And the poem on the beverage bottle is alway made by the feeling of the mood that can be match with the drinks. Some of the people who are sensitive, they can feel the thing strongly. They express their feeling, like what their found in the nature, the people or themselves. When they try to explain, the beautiful things will sound like the elegant poem. But because of the poem is more shorter than the essay, some of the things won’t describe carefully, so sometimes the reader can got the whole things that the writer what to said. Why people still writing the poem, I think it’s because of although we can’t got it sometimes, but the poem can bring the different feeling and the describe the special world that they met.
