The 29th Beijing 2008 Olympic Games opens!

Today is a special and important for us Chinese nation.
At 8 pm, the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympic Games began. The opening theatrical performance is so grand and brilliant, and also has fully embodies the Chinese national and traditional characteristics, and has aslo stirred up the unprecedented enthusisam of whole people across the country.
It is very terrific and exciting to make our blood boiling.
I am so deeply touched that I've shedded my happy tears many times.
And I am very proud of my powerful country for her strength and the people prosperousness and happiness and well-being of her people.

I am also touched by the notion that blood is thicker than water. Because when Chinese Taipei delegation and China' HongKong delegation entered the National Stadium (known as Nest), they also received warm applauses and cheers of all the people present. I am also proud of them because we are all Chinese.

This afternoon, I went to the Xinhua Bookshop to buy a IPA table in order to teach my daughter before she enters a junior middle school in case she is lost at the starting point. According to my teaching plan, we will learn two phonemes each day. Today we've finished learning the first two phonemes: front vowels i: and i. I first told her the tips of vowels and showed her the mouth shapes. And then she read after me one by one. She did very well. But after a short time when I checked her practice, she didn't do it very well.

So I thought twice of my checking up. And we did it again many times until she did it very well all by herself, and then asked her to practise several times. Finally, she managed to make a better performance.
Children are children. They can't do anything just like we adults do because they have a poor self-control. We parents should try our best to monitor them properly, and set strict requirements for them to follow so that they can do well in what they are interested in.

But I am feeling very sorry for my daughter waiting over one hour outside the door. She had gone to her good friend,Li Shuting' birthday party. Tv is so loud that I did not hear the knock of door. Another reason, I think, is the real reason that she was afraid not to knock a little louder when she knew she came home later than usual because she was always scolded very much and even told off before this time.
So I am very guilt for my wrong teaching ways of childrne keeping time.

Education is art. So I should study harder to improve myself to learn how to educate my daughter very well. Educating a child is a hard and arduous job, so if you want to have a good result, you must put all your heart into it.
I will do my best to manage it.
