Sad for pop reading quiz and second major essay

Yesterday, we had pop reading quiz. Unfortunately, I had seen the back of the last page until the last two minutes. I had no time to finish that, which made me so sad. My goodness. It reminds me that I should check how many pages first, then do it in the exams.

So sad, I just got 78% about my second major essay. I tried my best to do it, but I did not get above 86%. Actually, I really do not want to exam effective writing after I go to university. From the beginning of this semester, I always focus on my writing, I wish I could improve my writing above 86%. On the writing class of Thursday, I looked some essays from my classmates who got higher marks and who got lower marks. I found that somebody who got higher marks ususally had perfect organizaiton and grammar. For me, I wrote too much information which made organizaiton unclear. Hence, when I wrote my essay on mid-term examination, I focused on organzation which made readers easier to catch information. Guys, writing is really important for your university. In the university, you guys should hand in many homework, like lab report, if you guys write perfectly, it is easier for professors to understand. Maybe you can get higher marks. In EAP programme, it is a good chance for us to improve our writing because it is the basis of our reports of univesity. If we do not get higher marks, we should really pay attention to writing. The most important thing is that we should find the reason why we can not get our satisfactory marks. Next essay, we can correct our errors so as to improve it. Good for us.

From today, we have mid-term examination, good luck to everybody.

Mad

Mad, mad, mad~~~~~~~ everything makes me mad. These day, I am mad. On Monday, there was something wrong with my computer because I cannot print anything. So I had to save my homework----Speaking Journal in my USB, then transfered it to my uncle's computer, and printed it. Until now, I have not yet had time for repairing it. Secondly, these days, I am trying to register my courses, but I cannot register my math course 249. On Tuesday morning, I went to Admission Office to check the reason, they told me that I did not get 70% for math in high school. At that time, it drove me mad. Actually, I do not understand how they evaluated my grades, why is it so low? I do not believe that. Mad. On Wednesday afternoon, I went to math science for getting some solvable methods. That guy told me that nobody can evaluate the grades again and change it, so I must attend a diagnostic test and pass it, then I could take that course. So sad. Actually, I attended the math course 249 when I did my first attending the lecture, I found that it was not difficult, it is even easier for me. Thirdly, I do not know when I can transfer into business because the requirements in business are so high, I am afaid of that. Mad. I really want to study accounting in business. So mad. Actually, now, the most important thing for me is that I should study harder in English because English plays the most important role in taking professional courses, we can say that English is the basis of understanding professional courses.

Mad. I told my parents these stuff, they told me that nobody can predict what happen in the future, I must work hard on everything now. When this semester starts, I am always absorbed in my English study. However, this week, I really did not want to go over my study because of bad mood. This weekend, I will readjust my mood for my study.

Thanksgiving day & Heritage Park

Today is Thanksgiving Day. Since I have been Canada, this is the first Thanksgiving Day I celebrate. When I was in China, I had heard the famous traditional festival---Thanksgiving Day. And I have known that Canada celebrates Thanksgiving Day on the second Monday in October, but the United States celebrates the holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. So we have a three-day weekend, and we do not have too much homework. How happy it is!!! We can enjoy the long weekend. In the morning, my aunt said we should have some activities on the special day. So my big cousin suggested to go to Heritage Park where it has many antiques. Hence, we five ( my uncle, aunt, and my two cousines and I) went to the Heritage Park in the afernoon.

Actually, Heritage Park is like a peaceful village, no noise, and it has big lawns, beautiful sea. When seeing these stuff, everyone could feel comfortable. We saw many antiques such as ship, train, and houses, we even saw chickens and geese which were playing happily. well, we took two horses drawn wagon-ride. Wow, the two white horses look so strong. The driver, Bob told us that they have been Calgary for 15 years from England, such a long time. I thought they should miss their hometown very much, like me. Even if I have been Calgary for 9 months, I always miss my family members, my friends, food and everything in my hometown. I all the way think that animals have strong emotions as humans. Anyway, it took us about 20 minutes on enjoying two horses drawn wagon-ride, as well as enjoying the "village" scenes. Then we took the old train. This kind of old train I saw in the movie. Today, I saw a real one and took it. How exciting!! You guys could see the picture on the top of my this blog. It is not very too long, but so heavy. When working, we can see the smog coming out from the train. When I saw the train, I felt that I came back many many years ago, hahahahaha. After that, we took the SS Moyie ship, it is not very big, it just has two floors. Upon boarding, my big cousin and I went directly to the second floor because we standed higher, we could see further. I felt that the sky and the sea was connected together. Wow, wow, I could not believe. Such a good day, we were close to the nature.

Actually, Thanksgiving meals feature turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and pumpkim pie, but we do not have enough time to prepare them, what a pity. So, before coming home, we just bought turkey from Superstore. I wish that I could have a real Thanksgiving Day next year, like the Thanksgiving Day in the movie. Cheer~~~~

Calaway Park

Usually,when September comes, the leaves turn more and more yellow, then they drop to the ground, finally trees become bald men. It predicts that winter will come. I believe that everyone in Canada likes summer in which we can have a lot of fun, such as camping, picnic, travel, and so on. During this summer holiday, I went to Baff with my uncle, aunt, and my two cousines, and we went outside for barbecue and picnic. How happy it is. I believe many people have a lot of activities in summer holiday. However, as September came, we did not go anywhere because of bad weather. The lucky thing was that the weather was fine today because it had a lot of sunshine. Maybe people have not a chance to enjoy sunshine any more until next summer. So many people treasure the good weather to go outside for fun including us. As a result, my uncle decided to take us to Calaway Park, but my aunt could not go there because she had to work. What a pity!!!!

Actually, Calaway Park is an amusement park. And the park features a variety of rides. This was my first time to go to Calaway Park when I have been Calgary. So I tried every ride in the park except for childish rides. What fun!! Both my big cousin and I like thrill, we tries thrill rides first. When we reached the areas of thrill rides, we heard the screaming here and there from people who were riding thrill rides. My favorite thrill ride was Roller Coaster which did not make us scared, on the contrary, it made us excited. So we rode it twice. My uncle said that we were two crazy girls. My another favorite was Boat Ride which made us become us dripping from head to legs. How exciting it is!! There were many rides which cannot be called English names by me, I can just call the Chinese names. So I had to ask my big cousine, I cannot remember most of names, I can just remember some names which are easier to remember, such as Biplane, Storm ride and Chaos. But it does not matter, geting a lot of fun is the most important, isn't it?

Next summer, I want to Calaway Park again. Yahoo!!!!
