Luckily I got a fairly interesting article from Ms.Goh on Monday. The article is a quiz about which smart are you? The article gives out 30 questions for you to choose whether it suits you or not. These questions are separated into 6 kinds of smarts. They are musical smart, social smart, word smart, body smart, visual smart and math/logic smarts. It helps explore your natural abilities and discover how to develop other brain areas! What’s more the result is quite accurate, because I have already tested it on some of my roommates and they find the results OK. So I would like to share this quiz with you. And hope you find it interesting.

The Present Situation of Economy
As is known to all, the whole world is covered with the great economic risk at the present time, with a depressed financial system globally.
The world is in the state of unrest, with a great number of people out of work, the trade of the financial market is decreasing and the level of consumption is lower and lower. The GDP of almost all the countries in the world decreased to a large degree this year. However, the terrible economic risk made nearly no awful effect on China. China, with its great economy foundation, is in the state of stabilization all the time.
With the shadow of the last great economic risk during the World War 2, the whole world are trying to deal with the situation in a cautious way, for fear of losing their status in the financial field worldwide. Especially the United State, which is one of the most severely influenced by the risk, is sparing no efforts to rescue itself from the disaster. Obama, the president of the U.S. is doing his best to save those unemployed people and some famous companies facing the risk of breaking up. Because once the risk cannot be solved in time, the citizens will have demonstrations and even uprisings. The result will be terrible without immediate solutions.
In my opinion, facing to such a poor condition, the government should help the financial field, especially the banks. They must support the banks with the raised fund not to make them bankrupt; then open up some public projects to offer the jobs for those unemployed people. It is the best way to rest the whole society.
In such a situation, the strong China should catch the chance to develop its economy increasingly. All in all, it is a benefit opportunity to improve its status in the world.

About Research Project
At the beginning of Phase 2, we have a special and whole-phase work. That is the research project. Many students said that the project is long and scaring. To a certain extent it is boring and a bit too long for us. Some of my classmates also think so and put their thoughts on the www.xiaonei.com. This website has already been a good choice for us to speak out our feelings about our studies and lives in Singapore. Although we say and think it is a tough task for us, we must carry on it and try our best to achieve our goals-to enhance our abilities to solve problems and cooperate with others.
In my opinion, we can really benefit a lot from the project. First we will decide our topic, a crucial step. A topic is like a guide who leads you to do the rest in future. After that we will work out the questionnaire, which is the foundation of the results and discussion. As far as I am concerned, survey is the most interesting section. We communicate with a lot of people, including who we familiar and we may not familiar. After the survey we will start our analysis on the results and discuss the conclusion. It is the main body of the research project and we must do it with all our passion. If you do not suffer the thunderstorm, you will not see the rainbow in the sky (loosely translated from “不经历风雨，怎么见彩虹”). I think every pay will get its recompense. If you put your heart in it, you will get a lot in the end. Even if you don’t get a high score about your research report, you are successful in terms of your abilities.
It is common for us that after we lost or go through something we will miss them and regard them as treasures. We may recall our experiences in our senior high schools or former universities in China now. Maybe after the research we will suddenly find that it is the best experience in our bridging course. So let’s do it with our best efforts and let’s shout,
Yes, we can!
Yes, we can!!
Yes, we can!!!

On the Road to Adults
Life is a journey. As a 18-year-old girl, although I’ve just set out my journey, there are already some past sceneries and footprints to share with; I’m proud that I have been on the road to adults.
Since both of my parents are teachers, who are busy with their jobs, I have taken the first step towards adults at a very young age. I have to admit that I had an incredibly happy childhood, without too much homework, nor any training course. However, when I came to secondary school, I found that I was left behind many of my peers who spent great portion of their childhood learning Advanced Math for Olympic Competition, drawing or calligraphy, etc. I was feeling kind of frustrated. Then, I began to think how to cope with them. It was at that time that I realized I should learn more in order to survive in the dog-eat-dog society. It’s my first path to adults-thinking like an adult.
After I graduated from senior high school (the same ides of junior college in Singapore), I faced the problem that which university I’m going. It’s the first time that I felt I was at a crossroad. With a dream of hunting for adventures, I chose an university offering more opportunities to see what’s it like outside China. Fortunately, I made it in the end. I grasped the chance to come here.
Now, I’m standing at another crossroad, at which time I have to decide where to go on my own. At first, I was very confused. After attending a series of lectures on how to choose major, I have made it clearer what’s my next step. I think I’ll make the best choice for me finally.
That’s how I get there step by step. Though it’s just a start, I’m quite happy with what I’ve done; and I’ll definitely carry on doing it till the very end.

After the Recess Week
After the recess week, the second semester of our bridging course comes. I strongly feel the huge burden of the coming semester because we are going to do a research during this time. Furthermore, there are two checkpoints of both C-programming and calculus, followed by a final examination-QET. And we are going to choose our major in April, which is a very fateful and crucial moment. What’s worse, we can’t know the result until May or even June. That’s to say, we’ll be in fear and trembling for a very long time. What a terrible time!
Whenever I come across a mathematics problem, I will often be confused by the intricate integral. And the language of the C-programming is so weird and complicated that only aliens can understand them. But I think that through these days’ hard work, I gradually find some knacks to solve integral problems. The more you practice, the more skillful you are in solving mathematics problems. Just whisper to yourself, ‘Yes, you can!’.
Now I’m also looking forward to the coming research project, because it can improve our sense to cooperate with other people. And after finishing the project, we may have a great sense of achievement. So great! And now, I’ m also a little bit looking forward to the QET test because that means the bridging course is over, and we are formal NUS students then. Everything will be fresh. I can’t wait for that day!
Yes, if you look at these situations you are to be faced from a different angle, you will find that they are actually challenging. So just enjoy it!

Recess...Er...Recess
How time flies that a 9-day-long recess has passed so quickly. Look back to what I have done, I really feel regretful that I have planed so ideal a holiday to enjoy playing as well as efficient study, but it seems that facts always go away from plans.
Actually nothing could be better than being together with old friends in such a faraway country. On the first Sunday of our vocation, I was informed that one of my junior middle schoolmates had arrived in Singapore to visit my friend, who was also studying in Singapore, and I was called out for a gathering. We were quite cheerful and excited to see each other, and also it was quite special to gather here but not in our hometown. Then we decided to show him around the Sentosa Island. It was my second time to Sentosa. But whenever it is, every moment I see planes flying towards China above my head, I feel homesick and wish that the vocation can come as soon as possible. That guy also told us that just immediately he came, it was snowing in our city and it was extremely cold, and I couldn’t remember how I had survived from such coldness before. We gossiped a lot, we sang, and we also threw each other into the sea. That’s pretty good!
I have to mention the buffet. The food is quite delicious and price is also acceptable, but the pity is that I had had my breakfast just before the lunch, which made me a little full that I had to give up so many delicious food. Anyhow, it’s really difficult for all the classmates and the tutors to gather together, so we really enjoyed it!
As for study, what comforts me only is my C programming that I borrow a book from my classmate and study on it for a whole day. Finally I catch up with what we learn now. And I am quite satisfied to see the bird flying on my screen which is created by me in C programming.
Phase 2 has come and we seems to be busier than before, but it’s a good thing I think.
