I am not gifted at art because when I was young, I painting class always got C or D, and the teacher did not like me that much. However, I have a good imagination, but I don't know how to draw it down. Other kids always drew some beautiful pictures to their parents, but I did not give my parents even once. Although I am bad at it, I still learned Chinese Traditional Art when I was 10 years old. My mother forced me to learn it with my neighbor who was extremely good at it. Every time she told her parents that the teacher said that she is good at it, I was so upset. I learned it for 1 year, then my family moved to another place, so i had to give it up. Even though I did not like it, I still felt sad when I quit going there. I think I just miss my friends there.

Summary:
An example that is used to test conscious thought is how the sea otter uses stones as a tool to pry open shellfish. The normal way otters do this is by going down and biting at the shell until it comes loose, but some sea otters use this stone method to get their food. This behavior seems to mean that they are planning to use the stone as a tool, and are aware of the results. The sea otters only use the stone when they cannot get food the normal way.
Dear Ada,
How are you? I have not seen you for awhile, and i miss you a lot. As you concerned to come to OU, i would like to introduce some aspects about it. OU is located in Athens, Ohio which is a small town, you will never get lost here. People here are very nice, they always smile to you on the street and they are very welcome to help you. However, there is not too much things to do here. The best place to kill your time is probably Walmart, and there is also a shopping mall but no one always being there. The reason why i chose OU is because 1, I like the name of OU, and it sounds really cool. 2, OU located in a great area, and it is easy for me to find all academic buildings. 3, OU supply a good language center which named OPIE, you can learn so much from there and you may also spend over year and year there. There is another thing, because you can not have too much fun from entertainment, OU is very famous from party. There are many street festivals during every quarter, and students here are crazy about them. The biggest holiday here is Halloween, which attracted many people from other cities to come down here to celebrate it. Anyway, there are some my point of view about OU, hope it helps.

Actually, it is not hard for me to make a decision. I know what I want, and i know how to choose what the best decision for me as well. I would like to describe to choose a vocation because i have many experiences about that. First, I have to know when can I go to a vocation. For example, this spring break I went to Miami. For Spring break, I would like to go to some warm places. Therefore, the best choices for me would be California and Florida. However, I went to California before, so I chose Florida to be my vocation place. Most people choose Orlando, but I have been to Disneyland in Los Angeles. Then, I chose Miami.

I would like to talk about a movie named "10,000 Black Men Named George", which describe in the 1920s, the rights of American workers to join a labor union was still considered an open question, and African-Americans were routinely denied their civil and economic rights. Although I heard how white people dislike black people, I never noticed how they treat black people that bad. I felt upset and angry for those poor black people who were dead or hurter by the white. In the movie, a black guy is a waiter in the restaurant, and white people have no respect for him. That is not the worst, because they bit him until he dead at the end. I really cannot believe that, and i started to "hate" white people. I really do not understand why they treat people like that, and they do not have right to bit others.
P140 Based on the movie or advertisement, most people think chinese people know about Kung fu. The reason why they think about that way is because Bruce Lee was a famous actor in the world, and every one knows that he came from China. However, this is a totally wrong idea. Not every single chinese knows Kung fu, it just for the specific group who are interested in Kong fu, and those whom know about it well. Another example is some people think that Chinese men still have long hair which is also incorrect. They movie always describe the history of China, and men used to have long hair just like women in ancient. Furthermore, through the media technology, most people noticed that Chinese are hard working. I agree with it, because China used to have a tough time, and everyone worked hard for the food. Therefore, it becomes a tradition for now, we would like to work hard for what we want.
