流年似水，二十八载岁月悠悠，翻开过往，记忆却还如此清晰！ (The photo is from the internet: http://collegenext.org/campus-life/ ) 1986-9-10 First English Class in this semester It was the first day for us to have English class this semester. At seven o’clock in the evening, Prof. Ye entered the classroom and announced several things before the formal class. He announced the names of people who had passed the aural/oral class entrance examination. Those who have passed the aural/oral exam will be qualified to continue English study in the third year and have Amerian English teacher to teach oral English. When he called the names of other classmates, I was so excited that my heart beat fast. At last, my name was called. Then he told us what we should do as a university student and what our standard is in English study. He said that we should be trained in four aspects: reading,writing, listening, and speaking. He suggested we should read at least 5000 pages of reading materials before we graduate, we should understand what others say and we should be able to express what we want to say. Additionally, we should(have to) be able to write short compositions. I know I still have a long way to go. I’ll do my best to study. Perhaps some day I can reach the standard. 1986-9-11 A lively and interesting English class Millie is our oral English teacher coming from the USA. She looks obese, much heavier than the common Chinese women at this times. It’s the first time we experience such a free class. She is chewing her gum while she speaks to us. Sometimes she jumps up and sits on the desk, and then jumps down from the desk. She asked us whether we had English names. Some answered “yes”, some “no”. When inmy turn, I told her that I had no English name, she said, “you can have the name Gina George, okay?” Some classmates tried to think out an interesting or meaningful name. One told Millie that his name was the same as the author of the book New Concept English . How interesting! Then the teacher asked us to introduce ourselves, telling about things such as our ages, family members, hobbies, etc. Some said they like playing Pingpong,others said they like playing football or volleyball. When she asked me whether I like play badminton, I answered I like it somehow. Then she asked us whether we like playing chess, and if we did, please put up our hands. Although I have just begun to learn play chess this term, I put up my hand high, too. Then Millie asked us to close our eyes and put our heads on the desks and then turn to the right. We all did so. Then she said sth about English studying but Ididn’t catch up with her. But I knew she repeated the same sentence in three times. In the course, I looked up and had a look at the others to see whether they had looked up. I saw all students were still putting their heads on the desk. So I put my head on the desk again. At the moment, Millie laughed aloud, and all quickly looked up. She said she wanted to test whether we listened to what she said carefully. Although she had said the same thing three times, still no one looked up. Then she said if anyone had listened carefully, please pointed out whether she had made any mistakes during the talk. Some classmate spointed out her mistakes. In the end, Millie told us a story about Xiao Li. She pointed to the blackboard and read some words. She asked whether we could link the words together and narratethe story with our own words. Two boys did and then I narrated the story simply. During the two classes, we were all very happy. Millie had smiling face all the wayand encouraged everyone to answer questions or ask questions at any time. This lesson gave me an unforgettable memory. Perhaps from now on, I can improve my spoken and aural English ability greatly. I’ll work harder and be more interested in English. 1986-12-03 My w ish for a prosperous China What Millie said touched me greatly. When she spoke, I listened carefully but moved my eyes quickly as if I want to absorb all she said into my brain. She pointed out many defects existed in China.What she said is true. There are many problems in our country both in political and education systems. We are college students and we are still young. In a few years, we’ll be the main forces of our country. What should we do? We should work hard, we should change, we should reform and cut a new road. Everyone has the responsibility to devote himself to the country. One tree can’t become a forest. But many trees will make one. I believe our country will be prosperousone someday! 1986-12-06 Classmate gathering Several boys of our class came to our dorm. All were very happy! Some played chess,some played cards, and some read novels or magazines. At first, I played cards with another three. They spoke aloud and laughed out loud. Afterseveral runs, I went to watch others playing chess for a while and then sat down to read a novel Wuthering Heights. I was completely absorbed in the story, but sometimes was brought back to the scene by their laughing and shouting. 1987-5-13 Dormitory debate before the bedtime As soon as the light in the dorm went out, Z1 spoke loudly, “I think this afternoon’s discussion was very successful. All told the truth except a few pretending to be honest!” Her speech broughtout hot debate. T said, “X is a party member, … ” Before T finished her words, Z2 shouted, “Is he a party member? Who has approved him to be a aparty member? Why don’t those approving him ask for our opinions? ” W said, “Do you think they can ask for everybody’s opinions? ” Z2 spoke in much louder voice, “They always ask for the same few people’s opinions, and always ask for those who say “well, well, he is not bad!”” Zhou, keeping silence all the time, began to speak suddenly and angrily, “Please shut up! When we ask for your opinions at the meeting, didn’t you hear it? ” Z2 didn’t reply. W said slowly, “I don’t think he is qualified to be a party member.” Z2 shouted in a jubilant voice, “good, very good, completely right!” After a while, T spoke, “In fact, few party members are qualified. Those who want to be a party member only want to get a little interest for themselves. ” Z2 interrupted, “Everyonefor himself and the devil take the hindmost.” “I can’t agree with your views,” W said, “Don’t you need other’s help? Can you live without other people?” Zhou added, “Please analyze yourself more!” The debate ended suddenly and everything was in silence!
