How are you? I do hope that you are well and have an easy and relaxed weekend.

Except daily work, this week, I have been working on my researching report.

Last year, I completed 3 papers with 110.000 Chinese characters on the company’s development stratagem except our daily work. This year, I made much energy to practise the opinions of us in the business working. Last years, I worked on many different single media, and a part of the product process. This year, I worked among the multi-medias, to adjust the work, relationship among the medias: magazine, newspaper, web site, TV, telephone, mobile phone and database every day. To work on whole of the producing process, from design, development, maintaining, marketing and sales to the service of the customers…

I often think that since my work has given me the best opportunity to touch and to find many interesting phenomena among the multi-medias and whole of the producing process. So, I do have the responsibility to think of them and to research them, to offer the result of my thinking and researching to the company as one of the high layer manager of the company.

So, even though no one had asked me to work in my New Year's Holiday, I have been using to write a researching report or a proposal within my holidays for 5 years.

I do enjoy the researching work and I do enjoy sitting in my peaceful and comfortable office to read, to think and to write something. As usual, I work in my office for at least 3 hours in the morning in my holiday, then I came back home to enjoy my relaxed time and to learn art of painting, music and language learning.

After treating my first vocal music teacher to have a Christmas dinner, I stopped the lesson from her. I would like to learn to sing from my new vocal music teacher in the coming time and continue to learn to paint from my art teacher in 2008. Also, I have registered to be a student of Beijing Foreign Language University. I will learn English via the Internet mainly for 3 years.

Their students must pass their entrance examination, but I need not for my education background.

I am really happy for I have found a best way to learn English in the best Foreign Language University of China via the Internet. I enjoy its advanced and flexible teaching styles indeed. They have a teaching center in Shenzhen and offer a lesson weekly, but, I am free to chose to attend it or not. This is really the most ideal teaching and learning way that I have found for a long time.

In the coming 3 years, I will learn 12 English lessons and attend 12 examinations; I am confident about myself to complete my lesson ahead. After all, finally I have got an opportunity to have a formal English education. Finally I have become a formal student in the best Foreign Language University in China. What a lucky and happy person I am!

Are you happy for me? Do you have any plan to improve yourself via some style?
I am just a learner on that art of painting, music, calligraphy, languages and to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do a little bit things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be An Electronic Bridge Of Culture Exchange, Friendship and Language Learning. To help the others while to improve myself.

I appreciate your understanding, directions and supports. I do hope to get your friendly help...
