Feel no nostagia

The few weeks in college sucks honestly.

New place, new professors, new friends(actually I got none in the frist few weeks). Lying on the lame bed, this dorm was somehow pissed me off cuz the bars around the bed always blocked me whenever I wanna rolling back and forth or unfolding my whole body.
  
On the days I just kept smiling(not in the idiotic way), the corners of my eyes wrinkled by the grins squeezed by the cheeks(yeah seems odd I know that, I'm trying, k?).

Then here goes the talks, from stuttering to floating, and I started to make several friends. That kind of sentiment is sweet, can you relate to my feelings? I mean friendships aren't necessarily based on chatting, smiling can do the same as well. And that's how I throw my ardent embrace to this new college, new acquaintances, new life.

Btw tons of people are curious bout my accent(both in Chinese and English), I think it's becauseI'm an emcee(The one who hosts in a ritual) in junior and senior high schools, so the solemn toneI was trained to use then even influences the way I talk. On the other hand, I mostly micmic the the ways the blacks talk like a mockingbird. So all I wanna say is that the accent can be aquired by constant training and trying even if u haven't been to abroad just like me.

Cheers and take care!!

Learning English Without Textbooks (EXCLUSIVE)

I dont like the textbooks , period .
Im not meaning that the textbooks suck , but they r dull (you'd probabaly agree with me too) . The way that I learn English might be a bit casual and probably some of ur teachers would piss off with this . But Im fond of learning English through films , music and games .

Why do I recommand South Park ?
Cuz u cant deny that one who learn a new foriegn language starts from its vulgar words and filthy smut . (In fact it'd probably be the most interesting way ) Fast speed as the characters talk , it boosts ur skill of listening as well .

I do love music , especially the rap . Again , the bullet-shooting speed of yabber is a great tutor of ur listening . Once u get to know what the heck the rapper is yabbering about , that means ur skill of listening has improved . Among the rappers I love Eminem the most , though fulled of vulgar languages , his songs reflect how chaotic and injustice our world is .













As for games , MMORPG (which stands for " Massively Mutiple Online Role Play Game ") is most recommanded . The games should be on the premise that they r English editions . And why MMORPG ? Cuz u have to talk (or type , actually) in English so that u can do the trading or missions ... etc . Its a fabulous way to compose ur writing and see how they (forigeners mostly) use their daily English like slangs or idioms as well .

I just provide some of my infomal ways to learn English , and if u distaste them , thats totally fine , as long as u can learn it well , every method would be a perfect method .

(Correct me , if any)
