A busy day has past again, a bit tired, a bit satisfied, how about you my friend?
It has become a required course of mine to be here, and so lucky for me to hear
that you look me as the soul mate, so I want to thank maplesky forum, thank english
as an intermedium between us, my life will not so full and interesting without it, my mood
will not in a high spirit for a long time without it, maybe it's sounds a little exaggerated,
but it's really what I want to announce, I'll treasure the god-given opportunity to learn
as more as possible, also hope we two can insist on leaving words here as before!

Look this as a thanksgiving letter!
Thank you so much!

The weekend is coming again, but for me, it's the same as work days for the special
work circumstance and time schedule, anyway, I do wish you will happy and enjoy
your easement what you own, for all of them are hard-won, even the suffering is also
the opportunity to enrich our experience and teach us a lesson, someone who is always
in the fluent way is out of possible, on the contrary, he who experiences hardship will be
more stronger in the future with the additional experiences, and then everything is going
well! So my friend, however mean your life is, meet it and live it, do not shun it and call it
hard names! Suddenly have so many words to say, hope not to interrupt you!

Gain what you need everyday and spend a good weekend!

i just went to GuangZhou ,of course it is not as comfortable as YunNan.
but sooner or later, i will visit YunNan and HaiNan provinces.
And i like the nature  scenery as well.
Maybe on national day i will go there for relaxation.
Yeah, the temperature here is very hot and maybe 37 degrees above. So just now when i entered the office, i feel i am just in the heaven from the hell.
But Harbson's choice, i have to adapt.
I guess the weather of your place is likely to be the same as here. So take care of yourself.

Hehe, sorry to misunderstand your abbreviation with GZ, maybe
the beautiful place is so  impressive in my mind that I forgot the
city close to you, your planning to the two famous provinces for
the touristry attaction is advisable, perhaps we have the predestination
to meet in the secrete garden, it's must be very wonderful!
Sure, suzhou now is hot too, after all, it's summer and this high temperature
is common, hehe, mentioned hot, I remembered a little story happened to me,
it was summer holiday in 2002 in Beijing, I had an opinion to have hot pot with a
foreign friend, he always said a word "hot" during the dinner, I wondered
that it's not so hot in the air-condition room although we were having hot pot,
later I suddenly realizing that he meant it's very peppery, my god, so I just made
the simplest mistake at that time!
Hehe, ok, time to work again, see you next time!


jessica.

hehe, so funny.
Yeah, a word always has many different meanings. So you can't master all the indicates they want to express espically in a sudden occasion.
For my part, you have achieved a great performance and you will make more improvement during  your routine job , i bet so.
Just now you mentioned you had been to beijing in 2002. how's the impression?
In my memory today it is still very unforgetable. The summer palace, forbidden city, TianAnmen Square, Great Wall, World Garden etc. so many famous place.
If in imediately future we can  meet in some city, i 'd rather believe it is doomed  500 years before.
By the way, do you have any interesting in our company? you can visit the website:www.cnoocshell.com, and 4 days ago  our company are recruiting a  secretary to MF director. And our department secretary applied for it and succeeded.  So if you care about it, i can open an eye for you next time.  Lastly but not least the salary here is high.
TAke care.

Ok, let's back to 3 years ago...
hehe, don't worry, I'll try to make the long story briefly.
My first impression in Beijing is so good that I made a decision
to work in our capital after graduating at that time, for which is
not only so many famous interests in world, but also the dense
interest in our traditional building and culture, later fortunately,
I had been an assistant in Beijing International University after graduating
in 2003, and I submited my resignation after one year for my higher dreams.
Now, when I remind the scenery of this city and the beautiful memory there,
I still can give vent to my feeling about what happened in the special city where
is smile, tears,inspiring and mortifying, just as what you said, it's indeed unforgetable!
So an idea comes to me to go back and have a vist to the city, also some freinds and
colleagues there often invite me to see them, hehe, maybe in 2008,
and I'll order some tickets of my favorite items (in the soon future)!
Hehe,all in all, I love this city-Beijing so much!Ok, it's still a long story,
sorry to interrupt!
Oh, I hardly forget to thanks for your imortant informations about
your company, anyway, if it's possible, I'd like to be your colleague! Thanks!

Live and love, then our life will be more wonderful!

(Sorry,but I forget his name.)

Maybe in 2008, i  will be in BeiJing. It has been my dream since now, and certainly i will go for it.
Last night, my friend called me to go out for drink , so i leave earlier.
take care.

Oh,sorry to be late here for some unexpect troubles! Let's forget it!
Surely, I'd like to meet you in Beijing in 2008 and make applause for
our valiant fighters together, for Olympic Games in China is an exciting
international sport with its special fascination!
Above you mentioned the famous place in Beijing-World Garden, maybe
it's the most impressive in my mind, in which embraces so many famous
interests in world, it's really fantastic, also the Great Wall in World Garden
is typical too with the smaller scale, ok, sorry to interrupt for the owner is
coming, see you later!

Best wishes


jessica.

At least when you decorate your housing, you wouldn't be cheated by the workers and the material supplier.

Hope it can give you some information.

Thank you, my friend, these words are helpful to me, sure, engineer is so important
in the society at present, which has the great potential development in the future with

Hi !Jessica and Wylmitf !
I spent three days reading your words .I feel  moved and helpful .I also feel surprise .It's so good you two master and apply English .I admire so much .
Now I find I don't know a lot of things .Please give me advice or comments.
And I hope that you two should go on .I will keep on paying  attention to your feelings and thoughts .
Please give me answers to the following questions.Thank you!
What does mean "just cross my fingers"?
and "in the white-headed position""on the site""gainning is painning""it's my honor to look at Buddha with reference"
and on the 45th floor ,I'm afraid of being belauded.....  what does mean"belauded"?  What's cucucomber?
"hit the sack"?  on the 46th floor "you're a green..."?

First thanks for your attention .
of course if you have any interests, you can join us.
Now i'd like to share some common expression with you.
1. sb. is  green
Usually when you say sb. is geen, it indicates that sb. is lack of experience in this field  and need to learn and improve. eg. when you just graduate and begin to work, though you know some theory knowledages but you are short of practice . And only put your theory into practise, can you be a professional staff.
2.hit the sack
Sack is a bag made from material eg canvas. Usually you can say go to bed instead. Eg. in a college dormitary , it is 11pm,  you felt tired and want to go to bed. Now you can say let's hit the sack. If you say let's go to bed, that also includes the meaning you want to lay on the same bed with your roommates. But normally , we seldom distinguish this. So either of them is ok.
Other relative usages , eg. hit the road, hit the book.
i'd like to give you some examples:
1)Let's hit the road please, or we will be late.
Here, hit the road means hurry up.
2) I don't want to play basketball these days, because the final exam comes, and i will have to hit the book. otherwise i will flunk them.
As concern as the word cucumber , you can find it easily in dictionary. In chinese it is HuangGua. Maybe you eat it everyday.
other questions i think jesicca will gald to answer you soon.
By the way, jessica, i don't mean to be the 100 visitor and it should be your turn.Because you commence this topic and anyway 100 is a great number.
While i'd like to leave 1000 to you.
Haha.
