Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? I do hope that you are well, have an easy and relaxed weekend.
Last week, one of the biggest things in my city was that the Beijing Olympic Torch was passed successfully in Shenzhen on Thursday and before the activity was started, It Relayed on Mt. Everest for First Time in history on the same day.
About 3 million Shenzhen citizens went out of the doors to welcome the flame and to support the Beijing Olympic Games with much passion in the bright sunshine.
As most of Shenzhen people, all people of our company kept on our working positions. Following the government's call, we did not drive private cars to support the city to keep a better traffic. We came to the company earlier by public vehicles or by walk. Many people attached some beautiful pictures of the torches or some slogans of supporting the Beijing Olympic Games on their chests. We wanted to support it with our work down to earth.
In my work and life, a big thing is that our company has confirmed me to take part in a studying project in a university of a Western country for 1 year.
I was touched, for it not only offers me the opportunity, but also the company will keep my current working position and something else in China. So, when I got this news, I felt so lucky and my heart was full of the appreciation and warm. I did feel that my devotion to the company career in the past many years has been admitted, respected and returned.
With a grateful heart, I have started my preparedness job. I would really like to cherish this opportunity and to do my best to return our company and country with harder working.
If there is no anything special, I will be on the other side of the Ocean in a few months.
How do you think of this mews锛烝re you happy for me?

Shirley Created Art -- Gouache --0127: Mountains
I like the mountains with green trees, flowers and grass. I also like the mountains just with the stone or snow. The former makes me think of the youth and vital force; the latter makes me think of the strong, stable and safety. I started to paint this picture Saturday night and I continued it at about 6:50am Sunday morning. I wanted to work on it for a while, then to go to my English lesson before 8:30am. But, when I raised my head from the painting, it was over 9:00 am and I had missed my lesson. I worked on it until 6:30pm except eating a light meal. I do feel that if I had time, I would be able to paint another 10 days. How do you think of this picture? Do you like it?

The tirst time I had a traveling over the sea was in 1979. Then, I lived near the biggest fresh water lake of China. Right now, I have settled down by the Southern sea of China for 15 years. I like sea, lake and ocean. Whenever I see it, I feel that my heart changes wider, my mind changes cleaner and my emotion is positive. I appreciated the great nature for it has created the human being and it has been offering us the rich resources and environment. With an appreciated heart, I re-translated, re-sang and re-recorded the song "The Ocean, My Hometown". I do hope that you enjoy it and find that I have made some new progress. I do hope that my effort will be of some help to you to learn Chinese culture and to improve your Chinese Listening level
