There's a way.

Time has passed so quickly. It has been 11 years since we got married. Oh, yes, today is our 11th wedding anniversary. When I first met with my husband, I was 19 and he was 18. I must admit that we are very different in every way, and the difference has caused quarrels between us. I used to be worried about it, but now I don't care. Actually, trivial arguments are often seen in any marriage life.
I'd like to thank him for his devotion for us. My children and I have prepared some presents for him, and we also have a plan to hold a kind of surprise party tonight.

I've been taking an English writing class for 2 months. This is my first time to attend a kind of real English class with a native teacher, so I thoroughly enjoy myself.

Yesterday, my teacher, who comes from the U.S, told us about one of his wonderful students. Actually, she passed away because of a cancer. He said, "She was my best student in my life."

It may sound odd, but I feel jealousy... I'm one of his students, and I've been taking his class. Of course, I understand I'm not good enough to be mentioned that way, but I'm one of an eager learners. What's the difference between her and me?

Come to think of it, I used to have the same feeling when I was a child. Hearing my teacher praising one of my friends, I felt uncomfortable and I made up my mind to study harder.

Am I envious? Am I thinking too much?
For one thing, this kind of jealousy always makes me have ambitions.

I love spending time at Starbucks. I love studying English there over some nice coffee. People around me seem to enjoy their own time in their own way like I do; however, there is one thing I can't understand.
Many people bring some books from an adjoining bookshop after having their coffee. Actually, we are allowed to do this. We can drink a cup of coffee, reading books we are interested in. Although I know I can do, I can't do. Why? That's because I don't feel comfortable to read unpaid books over coffee. The unpaid books has not been mine yet. What if I spill my coffee over the books? What if I get them dirty? How many people will buy the books after reading them for a change? My mother used to say that we shouldn't read books while having foods and drinks. Not to mention, we used to be very careful about books which we borrowed from libraries. Before making payment, reading books over coffee is out of the question.

Conservationists are estimating that one in four species of mammals is threatened with extinction, and that the population of one in two is declining...　　　　　　　 The Japan Times ST

When I was a child, I didn't think of our extinction. It was in a story; however, the story has obviously been changing. How long have we discussed the global warming? How many people have warned us not to waste our resources? With many cautions, have we been doing well? Or, not? I don't mean to be an ecology fleak, but I'm terribly worried about how many of our children could survive under these circumstances...

I've just started to study Chinese. Actually, I was interested in Chinese before falling love with English. I was a huge fan of Jackie Chan and I liked Chinese history. Having said that, I perfectly understand that Chinese is one of difficult languages to master in terms of pronunciation. I'm not sure how long it will take, but I'll try. I do want to communicate with people in Chinese one day.
