Dear Lilei,

I'm glad to hear from you. Now, I'd like to give you some suggestions about learning English.

Learn the textbook and check the dictionary before the class. It is better to get prepared ahead of the class. During the class, try your best to catch every word and get involved. You will not only improve your listening and speaking skills, but also learn more English knowledge. Do more English readings after class and be used to writing diary, so that you will enhance your vocabulary, which could therefore improve your English reading and writing skills.

The most important note is never give up. If you find any difficulty, do not be hesitated and shy to ask your teacher and friends for help.

Hope you could have an interesting journey while you are learning English.

Cheers,
Lihua

The activities for a period of ten days, with leisure, photography, activity sites including the medicine King Hill, Potala Palace, the Jokhang Temple, the Nam Co, the Yang Zhuoyong fault,karuola glacier, Mount Everest base camp, tashilhunpo, bassoon, Sejila Namjagbarwa, LulangLinhai, most famous scenic spots in Tibet.
Early in the morning, the sun has not risen yet, our car in the clouds along the winding mountain road, to Nan Gambawa.
This morning was cold, the Lu Lang soon, Barwa shape will faint in front of your eyes. From afar, the Namjagbarwa like a supine goddess, holy and peaceful. The backlight, although not see goddessface, silhouette but don't have a different taste.
The Namjagbarwa peak 7782 meters above sea level, is the highest peak 7000 meters of the mountain. It has another name, "Muzhuobaer mountain", the triangular peak huge body covered with snow all the year round, wind around the clouds, not easily reveal the truth, so it is also called the "shy girl peak". Nan Gambawa has many interpretations in Tibet Wu, a "lightning fire", a "piercing the sky Spears', and one for" the fallen stones". A name derived from "Gelsall Wang Chuan" in the "door Ling a war", as if "spear piercing the sky in this section will namjagbarwa".
Namjagbarwa is full of magical legend, because its main peak touch the sky, local legend has it thatthe gods often come to the party and simmer sang, the high-altitude wind caused Qiyun is God whoignited sang Yan, is said to have shrine on the top of the hill and the road, so people living in thevalley of the steep peaks all have tremendous admiration and awe.
About the Namjagbarwa another widely known to the outside world legend. Legend has it that long ago, God Painanjiabawa and Raja white barrier guarding the southeast. Brother William Gallas white base eager to learn martial arts, is also longer high, brother Namjagbarwa very jealous. So will thebrother killed in a dark and stormy, his head was lost to Milin County, into a la mountain. God to punish the Namjagbarwa sin, and fined him always stationed Yarlung Zangbo River, always accompany he killed his brother. This myth story vividly explained to us the characteristics of twomountain: we now see Gallas white barrier at the top is always round shape, it is because it is a nonhead mountain: Nanjiabawaze probably know the sin is great. All the year round, so the cloud does not allow outsiders to see.
Bid farewell to the Namjagbarwa, our trip will come to an end.

“绝美西藏”大型摄影体验活动第一期活动圆满结束，活动由中国西藏新闻网联手腾讯博客、华网、西藏高山牦牛探险旅行服务公司联合打造，西藏高山牦牛探险旅行服务公司负责组织和接待。本次活动为期十天，以休闲、摄影为主，活动景点包括了药王山、布达拉宫、大昭寺、纳木错、羊卓雍错、卡若拉冰川、珠峰大本营、扎什伦布寺、巴松措、色季拉山、南迦巴瓦峰、鲁朗林海等西藏大部分著名景点。

清晨，太阳还未升起，我们的车在云雾中沿着蜿蜒的山路，驶向南迦巴瓦。

这里的早晨依然清冷，出鲁朗不久，南迦巴瓦的形状便隐隐的现在眼前。远远望去，南迦巴瓦就像一个仰卧的女神，圣洁而安详。逆光中，虽见不到女神的面容，剪影却也别有一番味道。

南迦巴瓦峰海拔7782米，是7000米级山峰中的最高峰。它还有另一个名字“木卓巴尔山”，其巨大的三角形峰体终年积雪，云雾缭绕，从不轻易露出真面目，所以它也被称为“羞女峰”。南迦巴瓦在藏浯中有多种解释，一为“雷电如火燃烧”，一为“直刺天空的长矛'，还有一为“天山掉下来的石头”。后一个名字来源于《格萨尔王传》中的“门岭一战”，在这段中将南迦巴瓦峰描绘成状若“长矛直刺苍穹”。

南迦巴瓦峰充满了神奇的传说，因为其主峰高耸入云，当地相传天上的众神时常降临其上聚会和煨桑，那高空风造成的旗云就是神们燃起的桑烟，据说山顶上还有神宫和通天之路，因此居住在峡谷地区的人们对这座陡峭险峻的山峰都有着无比的推崇和敬畏。

关于南迦巴瓦另外还有一个广为外界所知的传说。相传很久以前，上天派南迦巴瓦和拉加白垒镇守东南。弟弟加拉白垒勤奋好学武功高强，个子也是越长越高，哥哥南迦巴瓦十分嫉妒。于是在一个月黑风高之时将弟弟杀害，将他的头颅丢了米林县境内，化成了德拉山。上天为惩罚南迦巴瓦的罪过，于是罚他永远驻守雅鲁藏布江边，永远陪伴着被他杀害的弟弟。这个神话故事很生动地向我们解释了这两座山的特点：我们现在看到的加拉白垒峰顶永远都是圆圆的形状，那是因为它是一座无头山：南迦巴瓦则大概自知罪孽深重，所以常年云遮雾罩不让外人一窥。

告别了南迦巴瓦，我们的行程也就告一段落了。这一路风光无限，我们始终被幸运女神眷顾着，阴晴纳木错、碧玉版的羊湖、珠峰金顶、甚至终年难见的南迦巴瓦峰，无一例外的一一见到。相信，他日翻起照片，也是美美的，一段回忆。

农历新年是很受欢迎的学生之间。因为我们可以有长快乐的假期。

2.Protecting the Environment-保护环境

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. Pollution is, in fact, threatening our existence.
The earth is our home and we have the ty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution. I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.
全世界的环境问题变得越来越严重。例如汽车污染的空气影响了人们的呼吸，工厂释放污染的气体，山上的树木被砍伐，污水不断被排人河里。另外，无论我们走到哪里，到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。事实上，污染正威胁我们的生存。
地球是我们的家园，我们有责任为我们自己和我们的后代去照顾好它。庆幸的是，愈来愈多的人们已经意识到这些问题。政府已经采取了很多措施去解决这些问题，法律已被通过以制止污染。我希望这些问题在不远的将来能得到解决，我们的家园变得越来越好。

3.The importance of English
The importance of English rests with the language being used in most countries in the world as a communicating tool. For example, a German and a Chinese can't speak opposite side's language, but they both know English. And then there is no problem between their language communication. We must know the importance and learn the language earnestly.
The key to learn English well is to recite words. Words are the bricks of language building.Only keeping them in our mind, can we master them. To learn English well,we need to listen more English broadcast and contact with more foreingers so that we can practise our listening comprehansion. Only in this way, can we study for the purpose of application
英语的重要性在于，它被世界上大多数国家作为语言交流的工具。例如一个德国人和一个中国人彼此都不会讲对方的语言，但他们都懂英语，于是他们之间的语言交流就不成问题。我们每个人都能够认识它的重要性，都能够认真学习。
要想学好英语，关键是背单词。单词是语言大厦的墙砖。认识了它们才能驾驭好他们。学好英语还要多听英语广播、多接触外国人，锻炼自己的听力，这样才能学有所用。

4.Our English Teacher

She is kind and friendly to us after class, but She is rather strict with us in class. She always encourages us to speak and read more English. She often says, "Practice makes perfect."

5.
Three attributes can help people in their studies. First, a sense of responsibility is important for building a sound character. If you aren't responsible, you'll postpone your assignments or devote too little time to your schoolwork.
Second, in school life, relationships between people are valuable. Friends can bring you happiness and laughter. In addition, you can discuss problems and pursue knowledge with them.
Last, it is important to have a constructive philosophy of life. If you are defeated, don't be disappointed. Try to face your life and your studies with courage and determination.
If you can work toward these goals, you'll become a well-rounded and versatile student instead of being a bookworm.
三人行必有我师焉。
首先,构建良好的责任感是非常重要的角色。如果你不负责,你会推迟你的作业或花太少时间到你的家庭作业。
第二,在学校生活中,人们之间的关系是有价值的,朋友可以给你带来快乐和笑声。此外,你可以讨论的问题和追求知识与他们。
最后,重要的是要有建设性的人生哲学。如果你打败了,别失望。试着用勇气和决心面对你的生活和你的学习。
如果你能朝着这些目标,您将成为一个全面的,多才多艺的学生,而不是一个书呆子

Different people have different views on reading. It is held that one should read selectively. But it is also held that one should read extensively.
Those who hold the first opinion think one's time and energy are limited and one can never read as many hooks as he wishes. In contrast, those who
hold the second view think that to know the world from all perspectives one should absorb a variety of knowledge by reading extensively. As to me, I agree with the furmer opinion. Admittedly, one can

absorb more knowledge by reading extensively, but this doesn't follow that one should read without discrimination. As one's time and energy are limited, one should devote his limited time and energy to reading relevant and beneficial books. It's a waste of time to read irrelevant books. Furthermore, some books are harmful. If we don't read books selectively, we will be led astray by harmful books.
阅读不同的人有不同的意见,认为每个人都应该有选择地阅读。但也有人认为应该广泛的阅读。
持第一种观点认为一个人的时间和精力是有限的,一个永远不能读尽可能多的钩子愿望。相比之下,那些
持第二种观点认为,从所有的角度认识世界应该吸收各种知识通过阅读广泛。对我来说,我同意furmer意见。不可否认,一个人可以
吸收更多的知识通过阅读广泛,但这并不意味着每个人都应该阅读不受歧视。作为一个人的时间和精力是有限的,每个人都应该奉献自己有限的时间和精力去阅读相关的和有益的书籍。这是一个浪费时间读无关紧要的书。此外,一些书是有害的。如果我们不有选择地读书,我们会误入歧途的有害书籍。

7.劳逸结合Fatigue and Rest
Fatigue and Rest Scientists have made an interesting experiment about fatigue. When a muscle in the body works, it proces lactic acid, and it is this lactic that makes the muscle tired. Fatigue is not just a chemical process, it is also a biological process.
We can't just "remove" fatigue;we must allow the cells of the body to rest. Damages must be repaired, nerve cells of the brain must be "recharged," the joints of the body must replace used up lubricants. Sleep will always be necessary as a way of restoring the body' s energy after fatigue. However, a person who has been working hard at his desk for hours may not want to lie down at all when he is tired. He'd rather take a walk!
Or when children come home from school they want to run out to play... not to lie down and rest. The reason is that if only a certain part of the body is tried the best way to make that part feel fresh again is to make other parts of the body active! We can actually rest by means of activity. Of course, if you are totally exhausted, the best thing to do is to go to sleep!
劳逸结合

科学家对疲劳做了一个有趣的实验。疲劳是体内肌肉的作品,这是因为它会产生乳酸。而乳酸能使使肌肉感到疲劳。疲劳不仅仅是一个化学过程,这也是一个生理过程。
我们不能只是“删除”疲劳;我们必须允许身体的细胞修复损害,大脑的神经细胞必须“充电”,身体的关节必须替换使用润滑剂。睡眠永远是必要的，疲劳后恢复身体的能量。然而,一个人一直在努力在办公桌上几个小时可能不想躺下时,他是累了。他最好去散散步!
或者当孩子放学回家他们想跑出去玩…不要躺下和休息。的原因是,如果只有一个身体的某些部分是最好的方法试图让这部分感觉新鲜又使身体的其他部位活跃!我们可以休息的活动。当然,如果你是完全耗尽,最好的办法是睡觉!
希望对你能有所帮助。

Being an ancient township, Tong Li borders on Tongli Lake on the east, Nanxin Lake on the south, adjoins Pangshan Lake on the west, Jiuli Lake on the north and Wusong Jiang River on the northwest. The town proper is divided by the streams into 7 islets interlaced with the surrounding water area, forming typical water county of the south.

With a network of lakes and waterways, Tongli has not suffered from war since it was inaccessible in the old times. Therefore more ancient buildings are preserved, among which we can still enjoy the following scenic spots “ the Moon Viewing at the East Stream”, “the Misty South Market at Dawn”, “the Night Crossing at the West ferry”, “the Spring Sight in the North Hill”, “the Fishermen's Flute in the Water Village” and “the Misty Bamboo of the Chan Hill”. The traditional houses densely settle on the sides of the fine banks piled by Jinshan Stone, and winding alleys and streets paved with pebble stones still keep the ancient appearance. There are 24 bridges at the intersection of waterways. The Siben Bridge built in the Southern Song dynasty is simple and archaic. The Fu'guan Bridge built in the Yuan dynasty is grandiose.

Tongli is rich in culture. In the long run of its history, it was once famed for its achievements in the imperial examinations and has proced famous cofucianists and notables. About 40 stone tablets of different periods have been well preserved and a quite number of its steets and alleys are named after the official titles such as Zhuang-yuan Street , Tong Street , etc.

In the township of Tongli , the Ming an Qing buildings occupy four tenths of the total, among which there are grand as-many-as-nine-row houses, small exquisite courtyards and gardens. The gateway with the brick carving of Zhu Family and the wood carving of the Chong Ben Hall &Jia Yin Hall are extremely exquisite. The Yan-yi Building in the court of the Geng-le Hall is wrought so elegantly that it is like swallow flapping its wings. Huan Xiu Ge has two stories. If you remove the first floor board, fishes can be seen swimming in the clear pond beneath, full of vitality.

Lying in the township of Tongli , the Garden of Quiet Meditation was built by Ren Lansheng in 1886AD, the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing dynasty, after he was discharged from office. “ When in office, one should be loyal to the emperor, when away from office, one should meditate upon his previous faults.”---- It was the motto of the officials in imperial times. Hence the name “the Garden of Quiet Meditation ”.

The garden covers an area of 10 mu. The western part is for dwelling, including 3 rows : sedan hall, tea hall and th main hall. There is also a spacious bedroom for the womenfolk. The eastern part is composed of the exterior and interior gardens. The whole construction shows no over-elaboration and reflects the peculiar architectural form of the late Qing dynasty. The 3 sides but the north of the exterior garden are halls for meeting or entertaining guests. Outside the exterior garden are pines, bamboos, wintersweet and artificial stalagmite. Inside in the courtyard is a eastward land boat, a rendezvous of the guests. The stern is combined with lattice windows and veranda. The northern side of the courtyard is the “ Viewing Moon Loft”, from where the host together with his guests hummed verses and responded each other with poems in the quiet moonlight. In the interior garden, the pavilions, terraces, boudoirs, the winding causeways and corridors and the rockeries all surround the pond or lie close to the water, giving an illusion of floating on the water.

Although small in size, the Garden of Quiet Meditation embraces all the rockeries, ponds, buildings, vines, trees, flowers and plants that exist in the classical gardens south of the Yantze River . Furthermore, one can enjoy the scenes of the four seasons and those of guqin, chess, calligraphy and drawing. The whole garden, with the moderate and exquisite layout, amiable scenery, exhibits rich artistic flavors.

Tongli (Chinese: 同里; Pinyin: Tónglǐ) is a town in Wujiang county, on the outskirts of Suzhou. It is known for a system of canals reminiscent of Venice, Italy.

Tongli is 40 minutes away from Suzhou city. The city retains many of the features of an ancient Chinese town.

Attractions

There are several museums in Tongli. This is more like a wax museum describing the culture of China in the olden days, about Marriage, the dynasties etc.

There is also a beautiful islet called "Luo Xing" islet to be traveled by ferry.

One can enjoy a lovely dinner sitting by the canal watching a boat pass by while the small restaurant cooks some nice Suzhou food. Tongli is peaceful, serene, calm and quiet.

In 2004, Tongli together with Lu and Zhouzhuang were listed in the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Jiayain Hall is also of note, and is the former home of Liu Yazi, an early 20th century actor known for his collection of gauze caps.
Tong Li is one of several towns on the outskirts of Suzhou known as Little Venice. There are roads, but the main arteries through the town are the canals. The pictures from this water city turned out much better than the town itself. I found it to be actually quite dingy, and would recommend that you try a different water city, Little Venice on your trip.
