This is the final period of my TOEFL trip to Suzhou. I chose DIO Coffee for my celebration of freedom, though only a pause, not termination.

 

**DIO Coffee**

DIO spreads its branches in many cities. The style resembles UBC Coffee, boasting cirecumstances and services of quality. However, the flavour only ranges in the "OK" scope, not very good. Unfortunately, the espresso machine works out today, leaving me no choice of my favorate cappuccino.

 

**Suzhou**

My third time to Suzhou brought me no surprise, neither pleasant experiences. As a small clean city boasting less high buildings, it appears more amiablem than Shanghai. The eastern part of city looks like an ordinary developing distrinct, no characteristic style.

The Guanqianjie district is just a follower of Walking Streets that can be seen in any city in China, except the buildings that remain the ancient building appearances.

Most of the gardens locate in the west. I have little authority to make comments since I only visited one. 

However, I prefer Nanking, in fact. Miss it.

 

**TOEFL**

What kindled my passion this morning was the seat for me. It was numbered "C7". Friends who know me well are bound to know the reason. Because of the seat, I held a positive mood during the whole precess. But I should also admit that my listening and speaking is so unacceptable to myself that I nearly stood up and rushed out during this session. If I can get 50% correct, I will burst into laughing. OK, just let it go.

No matter how terrible the result would be, I must set some goals again--goals to definitely improve my listening!!

I always set goals no matter how much possibility of attaining would be. Let me continue the tradition~~

好长时间没用中文发牢骚了，不过也很好几天没来更新了。计划要做的总做不到，这样的人生有点憋闷。

托福的日子快熬到头了，不过日子越近越难熬。那恼人的听力和口语让我一肚子气无处发泄，只能自暴自弃。

不过每当自暴自弃时，就会向英文文学大师求助一下。这次的是：The less time we work with, the more things we can do.

但是怎么感觉异样？说一段中文让我概述一下我都不一定表达得清楚，更何况英文乎？！用中文说道理我都不一定悔悟，更何况英文？？？！！！难道真的是所谓的英语是理性的汉语是感性的？

 

在公司的日子快到头，懒散的我颇有心不在了的感觉。只是，我什么时候心在过？再来玩一下我最喜欢的追溯游戏：初中盼高中，高中盼大学。在厦大的时候盼着离开厦门。在财大的时候盼着早点工作。确定工作的时候盼着有人带我脱离苦海。我的心啊，你在哪呢？...现在要说找到了吧，也是。只是人生依旧动荡，前途依旧未卜。老大不小受过高等教育一女子，就要做家庭主妇了。要工作，身份障碍在前；要读书，考试障碍在前；要生baby，财力障碍在前；sign！！！没有头拉~~~

 

好吧，文不对题。。

 

 

Actually, I'm here for study time, but ... But I can't help to enjoying the palatable cappuccino and the free internet first.

I only have to persist for only a week, then can set myself free. However, since the IBT is really difficult for me because of its listening part or listening related questions, I feel greatly frustrated.

Sitting beside the window, sipping my favourate coffee, beholding the scenery of wet green-ornamented street- all this seems to me as my ultimate court in life. How can I link such enjoyable leisure with the annoying IBT??

 

OK-  my goal is to live a life that can afford my fancy cafe eagerness - the conclusion comes back to the test again.

So, off my complaints, get down to the practise, patiently...

It was such great happiness to go out for those study-nights with Tiramisu. We left our footprints in many stores, best of which being Wages Cafe. With the advent of her exam, we will end up this special, exciting experience. So it seems necessary to write a blog to commemorate. Good luch for her in the exam.

 

It took me a long time to think out what's fascinating on the Kerean TV series, for I began my second time of Three Dads and One Mum..  Touched by the dads, I recalled this saying: It is those small daily happenings that make our life so spectacular. Since I always took some experiences as something like fast-food, the deep care about seemingly trivial things in life intrigues me. Maybe the sincereness to everybody and every event is what I lack of?

 

Although we often overestimate what we could accomplish in any given day, we always underestimate what we can accomplish in one year, given just a little progress everyday.

Because of my picky opinion on the allocation of the space in my present room, the TV set is put on the floor direct, used as a shelf more than its own function.

I can live without TV set, but can't without internet. Finding a downloaded program interesting often peps up my mood. This time, it is the Kerean TV series 三个爸爸一个妈妈, which stole my precious time before IBT and my sleep.

After 4 nights' endeaver, this sweet story came to an end but leaves me with endless imagination.

So unrealistic, why am I so stuck on?

Well, it really brought me much excitement and laugh.

 

I love mom, yet I quarrel with her about trifles every time we meet. This is upset and I always try to make up for this disppointment I bring her.Let me do better from now on. But why always "from now on"?

 

Too much concentration on everyday life may lead to this kind of obsession. So let's change to worldwide perspectives.

 

BP's boss claims that the root of high oil price isn't the mismatch between strong demand and feeble supply, but the failure on the part of governments to allow markets to "work their magic".

What I care is we have enough money to support LONGZHI's outdated Ford, which asks for more gasoline than other cars.

 

I didn't like Hillary, without clear reasons. But her speeches are apparently attractive than Obama's. Obama's "change" and "change" again are bound to harass McCain much. Although I hope this white veteran play better in the future games, nobody can change his anility. At the present stage, I bet on Obama's vitory, for Democrats' environment-oriented policies, for Hillary's speech, and for Obama's age and "change"- while actually, there is not so much radical change in his proposition as his background alone.

My plant is budding, again. Another colleage of mine is pregnant.

There is an impressing saying in Elisabeth Town: Life and death are neibours.

 

We should always see hopes in adversities, always persevere and endeavor.

We should learn to be temperate in eating, drinking, slacking, as well as pursueing.
