journal question #3

there is a holiday called Tomb-sweeping Day that concerns the dead in china. in that day, we will do several things to grieve over somebody's death. we will pay respects to somebody at his tomb. we will burn some fake money for him and blass him. we also play on the swings especially children. it means hold the rope while moving. we will get spring outing around that day because it is spring. everything of nature can be seen everywhere vibrant scene. before and after Tomb-sweeping Day, we will plant trees because arbor day is very close to it. another thing we can do is to fly a kite. sometimes when people is flying a kite, they will shear the wire that on the kite. let the wind send them to the ends of the earth. it is said that far away from disease and disaster, bring themselves luck. that is all we will do in that day.

journal queston #2

in china, people usually get know each other in the same environment such as study in the school or work in the company, they also introduce their friends to other friends who match each other, and another way is to date people on the interest. i don't think the last way is a good way to make people fall in love because you can't see their face and you don't know their personality. i think interest mess something up, but it is not interest's fault. people do something inmoral, people chat online instead of meeting friends and family, it makes their relationship pretty far from tight. so i think when you are into someone, you should talk to her face to face, tell her your feeling. that is sincere. sincere is very important, don't lie to them who you love. there is a little difference between china and foreign countries especially the U.S and france i would say. chinese people will get know each other in a pretty long time, if they think they match they will make sure thier relationship. however, american and french want to know their feeling or reaction right away, they are fall in love in a short time. that is what i think, and both are good.
