RAIN

If you ask American what the wettest city is, most of them will answer Seattle. Throughout this example, you can see that Seattle is famous city for rain. Now there is rainy season in my homtown. However, there are many differences between Seattle and Ho Chi Minh city. First, it rains all year in Seattle while it rains for a few months in my city. Especially, it also has hail in Seatte, though it is very rare. I saw it one time and it was the first time I saw it, very surprised. Rain in Seattle is slightly while in my hometown, it is heavily or could be called " dogs and cats". The next interesting difference is the way people go in rain. In Seattle, they drive a car or bring an umbrella if they walk, so they are not wet. In contrast, my country is a developing country, so the main transportation is motorbike. This is a reason why they have to wear a raincoat, not an umbrella. However, under the heavy rain, I must give up. I was soaking after a rain. In fact, it is interesting to see people in rain, so colourful. Moreover, roads are flooded after raining and people have to wade. The third difference is casual. In Seattle, rain is unexpected. It may be sunny now, yet rainy one hour later. You can guess a rain based on some clues. For example, wind blow stronger or sky is darker. I don't know why, but if you say today is nice day, many people imagine about sunny, warm day. However, actually rain has its own beauty. Let me see the photographs of rain and feel it!

The scientist I admired very much

With the passion in science, I have read over thirty and even forty scientifc books, so I know about many great scientist from century 17th to now which is a fast developed period time of science, especially at the end of century 19th to centurt early years 20th with many important invention which changed human history. They have different nationalities from Russian to England, Germany, Italy or French for example John Dalton of chemistry or Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, Enrico Fermi of physic. I like and respect them so much, but I have a special sentiment for the scientist. This is not Albert Einstein who is the most famous and greatest scientist all the world. This is the small woman named Marie Curie. The reason I admired her is not because she was the only person to win 2 Nobel Prizes in different science fields: chemistry and physic. This is not also because she was female professor at the Sorbone. I admired her because of not only her achievements but also her fortitude. I was very emotional and even cried when I read her biography. The image appeared in my mind is a small young girl from Poland to France and must overcome many difficulties to study. She studied all night with empty stomach and even faint. She do experiment in poor laboratory with her husband. She had to do with 20 tons of radium ore to get only 1 gram pure radium. She devoted all her life for science, for human civilization. Her invention now is a effective treatment for cancer patients. She also died because of the cancer after many years doing with radioactive substance. She is the good example for me followed. She is also my big encouragement. In studying, especially in the USA, sometimes I feel exhausted and disappointed and want to give up, but the image of small young poor girl studying in nigh to satisfy her studying passion appeares in my head. I think if she can study in worse condition to become a great scientist, why I can not. This gives me power to continue.

My favorite subject

With me, nature has really a strong mystery. I am curious about everything around me from biology, chemistry to physic, especially astronomy. This is a reason why my favorite channels are animal planet and discovery. My bookshelves have full scientific books and reading is my hobby. I often ask many questions by myself and when I found out the answer, it gave me a wonderful feeling. Science contains not only logic but also art. I can find the beauty easily in nature such as imposing moutain as well as the various, colourful life of animal world from sky to sea. I stared at the sun, black hole or galaxy with splendid, miraculous images. Studying science makes me love the life more and it is worth-living. I think science likes philosophy because I get many valuable lesson and different feelings throughout it. It is easy understand why my favourite subject in the highschool was chemistry and I also got a few achievement from it. Sometimes I have a dream to become a scientist, but I realized I do not have talented ability. However, I never stop discovery the world like an amateur. If you also like science, maybe we will be good friends.

Now let me look at beatiful images of universe with galaxy and nature with snowy highland or only the small insect: butterfly and try to feel what I said.

Some thinking of the child about maternal love

This world have many difference in cultures, customs but one thing is same for all nationalities- maternal love.
All course mother's deed come toward us minutely ever stain me while we think about our mother in some flash moment or ponder flitting.
Mother love us without reason or conditon, but we feel love our mother when we think about our mother's sacrifice. Have you ever had your love which is pure and comes with no reason.
Mother's love had exist before we were bornda while many people realized the true love with their mother when she had passed away
How many times you say the word " mother" in overflow with feeling or it seems like to say "I" or " you" insensibly.
Mother's love is extra and not ullage while the distance between us and our mother is longer when we grow up.
When we are young, it is easy to hug our mother and say " I love you" , so why do we feel embrassed when we do this.
Mother is the home you can go back everytime you like and how many time you go there in your life? I hope everynight
Why people like chasing the power or wealth while family is really the happiest place
The child understand the maternal love when she only becomes a mother while her daughter is like her before.Why?
Do you think who can forgive any our mistakes, there are only 3 people , god and our parents
Do you think whom you can rely on when you get failure or disappointed in rough life

Finally,before reading this entry, with the question" if you have a wish, what would you like?" , what is your answer?

A tragic news

This is a tragic news maybe makes you feel sad when you read it, so first I am sorry about that. My teacher, Tasha Essen, whose husband have just died in crash airplane accident. This is a shock and sudden news with everybody. She is outgoing and optimistic, but it is difficult to overcome it. I had same experience when my grandfather passed away. I cried a lot. I am so sorry for her and hope she feel better.My class made cards and sent to her to support in difficult time. Maybe we will visit the funeral. I have new experience about funeral in USA, and it have some difference from my country. The new teacher tell vocabulary used for funeral. It is very new but I don't like have to speak it. The atmosphere in class is silent. My classmates don't have energetic and no smile in class today. Birth and death are a part of the life. All people know that but it is not easy to accept when it comes. I always hope the time current can stop, not because i Iam afraid of death. The reason is the older I am, more funerals I have in future. My maternal grandfather is 81 years old, so I don't like to imagine on some day, I get a bad news from my country. It is terrible. However, it makes to create in my mind many ideas and the lesson: the people you love can't live with you together forever, so we need respect every moment we have them in our life, so we behave them well so that we don't have to get any regret when they leave

Spider man

After the stressed midterm exam week, on Friday evening I would like to relax, so I decided to to go to a cinema for watching the new sequel of Spiderman. This was a first day the movie was shown. This was also the first time I went to a cineman in USA after 5 weeks I have lived here. Infact, firstly, I was afraid I couldn't understand this movie because my English is not good. However, it was easy and conversation were simple in daily situation. Moreover, you can understand only through scences. I think it is really better than the last part. It is a wonderful mix because it made me have all feelings such as emotion, thriller, a bit horrible as well as humour, romance and happiness. I say that because you can find the romance in the love of Peter and Mary, and the emotion in conversation between Peter and his aunt or the father's love for his daughter. There was thriller and horrible in the fight between the Spiderman and his enemies. I think the movie is better than the last part. It has both entertainment and academy. It also contains deep humanlity lesson. This time, spiderman faced 4 enemies and one of them is himself. Actually, they are not bad, they only are controlled by their evil, hatred, envious. Spiderman is normal person with many mistakes. This makes him become a hero is not only his power but also win himself. The present for winning theirself is invaluable and this is happy and peace in mind. For example, the best friend of Spiderman is Harry Osborn. He was haunted by revenge for the death of his father. Although he died, but he was in his friends' arms in happiness. However, one of them couln't do that and died by his hatred. It is a little about this movie, maye not clear though I tried to tell and I also you feel it by yourself when you watch it. I want to recommend you this movie because it is so great. I love it so much.
