Top fun in iowa

yesterday(Friday) night, i played badminton in the field house, i met a lot of new friends and got a lot of fun. Some of them played almost the same level as me, but some of them used to have some professional training, they played so great!~for my classmates who wanted to play badminton for a long time, wish you could come at Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat night, usually 7:00 to midnight. It's not only a good way to play badminton, but also was a method to practise English!

compare and contrast something about Beijing and Iowa City

I used to live in Beijing, the capital city of China, but now I am living in the Iowa City, which is much smaller than Beijing. This change makes me feel uncomfortable in the beginning, but now, it seems not really bad. Firstly, Iowa City is absolutely small, with low population, but Beijing is not, Beijing has twenty millions people, and everywhere in the city seems much lively than Iowa City. But one thing that for people is the same in both cites is that both of Iowa City and Beijing contains many people who come from all over the world. Secondly, both of Iowa City and Beijing have Chinese Food restaurants, but the Chinese food that provide by Beijing restaurants is much better than that of Iowa City. Even though, the Chinese restaurants in Iowa City provide the so called Chinese food, it is really hard to detect whether it is the Chinese food. Thirdly, English are popular in both cities, but in Beijing people do not have as good language environment as that of Iowa City, So, although we can study English in Beijing, Iowa City is a much better place to practise English as well. That's some of the differences and similarities between Beijing and Iowa City.

500 miles

this is the song i like most when i come into America, it is a wonderful piece of melody that let me feel just likes staying at my home...
If you miss the train l'm on
You will know that l am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
A hundred miles ,a hundred miles
A hundred miles ,a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
Lord l'm one
Lord,l'm two
Lord l'm three
Lord l'm four
Lord l'm five hundred miles
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Lord l'm five hundred miles
Away from home
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord l can't go back home this way
lf you miss the train l'm on
You will know that l am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles

the Godfather pizza

I and my roomates went to the Godfather pizza to have dinner, this was the most intereting thing for me during the last weekend. The godfather pizza was a very nice restaurant, it had a lot of kinds of pizza, and you could hear lots of contry music when you had dinner here. For us, the most interesting thing was that we did not know which kind of pizza is the most delicious one at that time, and we saw a big picture in the middle of the menu, and it seemed good because it was a combination of two kinds of pizza. So, we choose it by our curiosity. Indeed, we choose a pizza with both combo and all meat. Acturally, we did not know what combo really means at that time. When we waited at the table, we got a fried bread and tomato sauce, and after that, we got a sweet bread, which contained a lot of sugar. After we finished eating those things, a really big pizza just came into my sight, and I did not know how to describe the huge shape it was, the only thought for me was:' oh my god~!!' We tried to eat as much as we can, but finally, we still needed to bring a lot of pieces back, but it was really delicious, and when I felt so hungary during the writing class, I would remember the Godfather's pizza.

my introduction!

My name is marc, i come from beijing, china. This is my first time that visit America and study at here, it is a really wonderful experience for me. The iowa city is that kind of city i expected before i come to America, because i know it is a quite small and quite peaceful city, and i think it is the best place to student who need to study at here. For me, to know the teachers and classmates in the IIEP is a agreeable thing during my study in America. Now, I will introduce some of my hobbits to all of you. I would like to play piano, draw picture(sketching), read book, play badminton(the most interest thing for me), and play basketball. I wish that i have a chance to find some one has the same hobbit as me, and have some fun when play play those kind of sports. I also wish that everybody is likely to see my blog and add your comment, and tell me more about your hobbits (not just be classmates in class). lol~~
