After seeing the movie “Schindler's List” which was directed by Steven Spielberg , I was touched deeply by this story.
The Holocaust is undoubtedly one of the most significant and horrifying events of the twentieth century. Between 1938 and 1945, the Jewish population was segregated and persecuted. On this occasion, one man who was named Schindler decided to make a difference, famously saving the lives of more than 1100 Jews- men, women and children who would otherwise have been killed. To do the work, Schindler hires Jews (because they're cheaper than Poles), and the German army becomes his biggest customer.
Schindler's List gives us three major stories. First and foremost, it tells the tale of the Holocaust, presenting new images of old horrors. The second story is that of Oskar Schindler, the Nazi businessman who saved 1100 Jews from death. The third story is about Amon Goeth. Despite his intense hatred for Jews, he is attracted to his Jewish housekeeper, Helen Hirsch.
Schindler's List offers a clear view of human nature laid bare: hatred, greed, envy, anger, and most important of all, empathy and love. I thought this film was emotionally well. And it informed me of another movie which is called “Nanjing! Nanjing!”. It's not simply a movie for Chinese people to deepen their hates on Japanese, it's a movie for people all over the world to see, to know, to experience and to explore what Japanese have done to Nanjing in 1937. That was holocaust.
We were sad and angry with this event. Any way, let's pray there won't be WW III or any wars at all actually.

The Positive and Negative Effects of Globalization
Nowadays,globalization has becoming a main trend of the society.Of course, globalization involves many aspects such as economy,language,culture and so on.Some people say that globalization brings benefit for human people while others say there are also negative effects of globalization.In fact,each coin has its own two sides.So however it is, globalization has both positive and negative effects.
On one hand,with the development of economy and globalization,the world is becoming a large market.It is convenient to carry out the international business.That is free-trade.It is usually defined primarily by reference to the developments in technology,communications,information processing and so on that have made the world and more interdepent in very many ways.At the same time,people who come from different countries can have more and more communication and interaction.Then they can understand each other better than before,what’s more, globalization has its positive effects on most cultures and civilizations.One local culture could be enriched by foreign influences,and also the opposition.Society is a big family,we can enjoy the benefit from globalization.
On the other hand, globalization has its negative effects.The economy is always influenced by other countries’.Such as this economic crisis of American results in the sag of the world’s economy.And it restrains the development of the world’s economy.This means that it is increasingly difficult for countries to protect their own economies.Meanwhile,cultural domination poses a totalitarian threat to diversity.Super countries’ influence is growing.For example,it’s easy to get access to US culture and there are no barriers.
To sum up, globalization brings up both positive and negative effects.We should take advantage of its positive aspect and also do not ignore its negative effects.

Enjoy the spring
Have you ever heard the sound that more vital than the footsteps of breeze together with fresh green? Have you ever seen the view that more colorful than the pictures of various flowers bloom in beautiful sunshine? Have you ever felt anything that more comfortable than the cool spring go softly through your fingers? Have you ever dreamed of dancing in fresh green land and being so happy that you forget the time…? You can experience all this only in spring.
After a long sleeping in cold winter ,everything awake at the time spring on her way .the little grass look around and tells their friends to feel the gentle breeze. Very soon, all the land covers with a beautiful green blanket. Flowers are awake; they put on their beautiful clothes and dance happily. Then, there come singing birds, chirped bugs, flying insects and lovely little animals... all of these put us in a splendid party. So, our heart dance with flowers, sing with birds, fly with insects. We are so happy in the joyful spring and forget all the painfulness.
I walk on the green blanket; stretch my hands to feel the breeze, take deep breaths to enjoy the fresh air. The world around me is so beautiful. In the joyful season I think of my life and dream of my future. I have a happy family, friends shared same interests....
Different people have different opinions towards spring. To the young child, spring is the best season to play; there are so many interesting things, in their perspective eyes, spring like a beautiful fairy land. To the adult, spring is the best season to make a new year's plan. They always tell us: “spring is the most efficient time of a year just like the morning of a new day.” To the old, they think every day is so valuable, let along spring, a season filled with life and vital. We students, full of ambitions, must make good use of this valuable season. We should not only enjoy our lives, but make full use of every minute as well. Only we try our best to make every minute useful, can we achieve a lot either in our studies or our lives.

About Refugee
As we all know , the problem of refugee is one of the big social problems . People regard the status of refugees as "being outside their country of nationality or habitual residence".
The refugees exist not only in African, but also in Asia、Europe and some other areas.Every year the refugee population increases by almost 3%. But there is nothing surprising about that .
Refugees are homeless and helpless . They need help .Because of the armed conflict, discrimination and persecution, they exist around the world . Being a "refugee" meant many things:
Not only being far from home , but not having a home；
Not only being in a new country , but not having the full rights and security of any country;
Not only being separated from family members , but not knowing where many of them were or if they would ever be see again.
Of course , they have the right to live normally . But in this situation ,how to solve the problem ?
First, I think they themselves should self-respect and have the consciousness of independence . They'd better develop themselves in any way they can , then may hope for realizing a better future . Second, we should pay attention to them .We can donate some money and some other things to help them to rebuilt their homestead . Also , the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is an oraginization which is devoted to help refugees . What's more , in December 2000,the United Nations general assembly decided to put on June 20th every year as the "World Refugee Day".
All in All , the society is a big family . We should try our best to help these refugees. Maybe we can built a more harmonious society by helping them .

Just for Today
只是今天，只在这一天做自己想做的一切事情，给自己一个彻底放松彻底放肆的机会。我们每天的生活模式都是一样的，无论学习还是娱乐，我们都期望有一个绚丽不同的生活方式。丢弃那些让我们无法呼吸的压力，尝试给自己放一天假，这只属于你自己的偶尔的一天，肆无忌惮的一天。
Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my "luck" as it comes.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do-just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.

Don't wait ……
Don't wait to be loved, to love
Don't wait to be lonely, to recognize the value of a friend.
Don't wait for the best job, to begin to work.
Don't wait to have a lot, to share a bit.
Don't wait for the fall, to remember the advice.
Don't wait for pain, to believe in prayer.
Don't wait to have time, to be able to serve.
Don't wait for anybody else pain, to ask for apologies...
... neither separ ation to make it up.
Don't wait...
Because you don't know how long it will take.
