August 22nd of the year 2009 is a memorable day worth bearing in mind forever for me, an average teacher, who has been working 19 years for our great eduational undertakings.
That afternoon, leader of senior 3 telephoned me to fill out the form of county outstanding teacher at the school office at 9 the next morning. During the whole afternoon, I was very excited owing to that incredible honor of people's teachers.
It was so unbelievably amazing and fantastic that I couldn't sleep much better though I didn't tell my wife about it because of quarrelling with each other which was so fierce that we each hit a door glass, which frightened my daughter eating to cry. I am very very sorry for that.
In order to acknowledge his kindness and great care, wife bought an English dictionary the same as my daughter's and a Fulong shopper card worth 500 RMB yuan yesterday afternoon, and asked me to thank him but I couldn't find any chance to accomplish this great and hard task yesterday evening.
This morning, I found there was nobody in his office and I was brave to enter the room and put the dictionary in his desk drawer quickly and hurriedly and nervously, and fortunately, nobody noticed my steal-like clumsy behavior, but actually I was very wretched inside and unable to believe that it is me that has finished this great feat of my whole own life since ever.
And this is really the first brave experience of my life and I am even proud of myself for this fantastic feat which is very extremely surprising.
And after I came home at about 10:30 this morning, I telephoned him about it and he also thanked me for that English dictionary. This afternoon, he came across me and wanted to stop me to give back the shopper card but I immediately ran away and did not leave him any chance to finish it.
SSSSSoooooo, I am the last winner, a real man winner. I believe that nothing is impossible to make it.

The Wisdom of Giving Up
During these days, I've found that a lovelorn netizen is suffering from the past feelings,interwined. Here I'd like to tell this netizen that we will surely futher know and understand a lot of things only after we have indeed experienced them. Only when you have a painful feeling, then can you know how to learn to protect youself; also only after you are so silly, then can you understand how to persist and give up timely.
During this process of attaining and losing, we slowly learn to know ourselves deeply and completely. As a matter of fact, life does really not need these unreasonal and unnecessary attachment, nothing so precious for us not to let go.
Learn to give up, and you will evidently find that life itself will be so easier.
Speaking of emotional choices, many people experiencing suffering of emotions can think they have missed a certain period of life, which in fact is not always true. Some so-called losses only mean that we can do nothing just like a turtle on its back and are unable to control the future of ouw own.
Take some girls for example who are eager to achieve their own aspirations of life and dream, they often try to make their gaols true by using the most primitive and also most effective way to retain men of wealth. They have resulted in keeping men aside without his heart inside, hurting themselves at last. We can find such one thing after another around us.
Never be upset and regretful after something has happened, lying awake and tossing youself throughout the night. Remain silent when you are wandering and wondering and when you are indecisive because silence is also a kind of option and wisdom. I like the lyrics that read: "If you go back to the past, all will be repeated." Subject to many factors, the hero of story turns left at one time and then turn right at other time.
The accepted practice many people follow is to be a frog to become a prince, retreating in order to proceed, but unfortunately some of people are really giving up. But what we really want to give up is only our broken emtions, not our own, on the contrary, we should constantly enrich ourselves.
Just like a girl descriped by an article from Reader, she scarred emotionally on the love way, but each obstacle made her much more courageous and grew much braver than ever because she always continuously enriched herself after each frustration and setbacks. This time she learned to play the piano just for her love and next time she again tried to improve English and so on. All she did evantually enhanced herself in everything, most importantly in emotion. And in the end she became an elegant woman that she wanted to be.
Often reading these words, I will be touched inside, and admire them from inside bottom of my heart on account of their courage and strength.
Any man who learns to give up is a real man of wisdom only because giving up means another choice and not complete retreat forever not only in emotion but in our daily work. So it applies to everything.

Haircut Event
At the beginning of the new school year, my daughter's school found itself a new headmaster, who is said to have originally worked as Headmaster of the Fifth Secondary School and is a proficient figure moving to and fro the back-and-white society.
As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean. So some of new school rules have been made to facilitate his unique displays which are different from the former headmaster, mainly including different educational concepts, different ideas of management and different working styles, at the same time, giving all the teachers and students a big surprising awe to smooth his future way of office.
His first fire is to require all the teachers can not be late for the faculty meeting, as well as switch off all mobile phones. Any person who is late must be fined 50 RMB yuan at the spot.
His second fire is to force all the teachers to be on the scene on time in the flag-raising ceremony of each Monday morning and the great gatherings of teachers and students.
His third fire is that all students, whoever you are, are not allowed to have long hair, including long-hair-loving girls, and not equipped with a variety of light accessories. This arbitrary and unreasonable rule immediately and quickly aroused fierce outrage and resistance from the girls of the whole school.
The non-people-oriented rule is very very hard and harsh, and the girls'voice and resistance is very very weak and powerless without any satisfactory results.
Poor girls ah! Unfortunate kids ah! They are and will all the victims of society of no law rules, and under autocratic style of leadership without any voice sounded. This is also a very good microcosm of the whole society.
Among of them is my loving daughter. Since she saw the famous singer Tian Chen, she has not only loved her songs but also likes his hair style--beautiful long hair. And she kept her precious long hair until Friday evening. She was sad when she came back for the barber's shop with her mother, with her cut hair in her hand.
This is as it is, and when we can not change it, it is wise for us to bravely accept it. This is, I think, the true and active attitude.

Hail for the sports wears
Monday of the last week was a really pleasant day of all wonderful ones because today we the whole staff received our long-foward-looking sports wears that our so-called nice and worthy headmaster had promised us for not more than a week.
Although the headmaster is not a real man to make his promise come in practice and use because he has seldom been willing to keep his word and everybody likes to call him a so-many-promise-but-break-more little man, it is beyond our expectations that we were really able to have found his promise in force,and so everybody has been that excited to fly in the air for many many days since Monday.
To tell you the actual truth, our headmaster is good and open man in character, but he is really poor and low in the school management. We are all agreed that he is not a bad basketball player and much better at it than his real competence in school mangement.
Therefore, the school staff were and are all smiling emotionally, elated, excited and in high spirits, delightedly spreading the news all over the school. And some people were moved too hard to describe their feelings in almost full tears.
People wish each other good happiness and are all comfirmed that this colourful move will certainly find its glorious place and leave an indelible impression in the great school history. This move not only has a far-reaching historical significance, but more extremely practical significance.
At the vitally critical moment, with his principal office term to be expired, he has really given the whole staff a good and big surprise not to bear in not time, which fully embodies his modern people-oriented educational thoughts and concepts, in addition to his foresight, future vision together with sympathizing and caring for his subordinates. He is always anxious before staff are, and think future before staff do. He is really indeed of a modern sense of leadership and a good headmaster of modern art of leadership.
I strongly wish our good principal would leave happily, and all the teachers along with students will never never never forget you, never forget you, because your sportwears will warm our hearts to the deep inside forever and always will.

The Development of Abacues
With the widespread use of abacues, people summed up many computational mnemonics to make the calculation speed faster.
This method of claculation with abacues is called zhuansuan in Chinese. By the Ming Dynasty, abacues had not only been used to carry out all kinds of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, but also to calculate land areas and the sizes of a variety of things.
Because of its being simple and convenient and its mnemonics easy to remember, abacues were applied in ancient China wide and far, and therefore gradually spread abroad to Japan, Korea, India, the United States, Southeast Asia and other countriea and regions.
The emergence of abacus has been a major reform of calculating tools in the history of human beings. And even today when electronic calculators are prevalent in daily life, it is still playing its special and unique role.
In China, there are a great number of abacus masters in walks of life. The use of abacus can cultivate human thingking ability in addition to its easy operation because it needs a close cooperation of brain, eyes and hands, so it is also a good way to exercise and descipline human brain.
In 1996, IBM scientists have used 10 atoms to generate the world's smallest abacus.

The Origin of Abacues
Exactly when and where the abacus was invented has now not been inspected, which can be traced back as early as 600 BC, when China is said to have had suanban(calculating sheet). The modern abacus is said to have evolved from ancient chousuan, which was a kind of calculating methord to use bamboo sticks as bargaining chips to carry out calculation operations. The end of the Dang Dynasty saw the great improvement in chousuan multiplication and division, and during the Song Dynasty, there emerged the division mnemonics.
Ancient Chinese people strung 10 beads into a group, each group arranged well into a rectangular wooden frame, then fiffling with beads to and fro to carry out calculating operations. During the last years of th Eastern Han Dynasty, in his Shu Shu Ji Yi, Xu Yue recorded his teacher's, Liu Hong, visit to a hermit Mr. Tianmu, who explained and demonstrated 14 sorts of calculating methords, one of which was zhusuan(calculating using beads) very close to modern abacus. That ancient abacus had 5 movable beads of each string, the upper bead an equivalent of 5, but each bead of the lower four ones representing one.
Some historians believe that the name of abacus first appeared in Mr.Jingxiu's Collected Works, authored by Liu Yin(1249-1293), a Yuan dynasty scholar. We can easily find an abacus on a store counter in the famous Chinese paiting Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival by Zhang Zeduan, a noted painter from the Northern Song Dynasty. So as early as the Northern Song Dynasty or even before it, abacues were making the widespread use of it all over ancient China.

The structure of Abacues
An abacus it the trditional Chinese calculation tool. It is one the most important inventions in ancient China, which is widely used worldwide before the advent of the Arabic numerals.
An abacus was invented by Chinese on the base of suanchou(counting chips)used in the ancient China in the long run.
In ancient times, people used to employ sticks to go on calculation. These small wooden sticks are called suanchou, so the calculation of this kind is named chousuan(calculation using suanchou). Later, with the development of modern production, the calculation of this kind was restricted very hard with small wooden sticks. So people invented a more advanced calculator--abacus.
An abacus si rectangular and surrounded by a wooden frame, with some small sticks fixed inside it, each stick wearing some beads. There is a big beam in the middle of the frame to divide the abacus into two parts. The upper half of each stick has two beads, each meaning five, while the lower half of each stick contains five beads, each representing one.

The earliest computational tool
An abacus, also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool used primarily by the easterns for performing arithmetic processes. Nowadays, abaci are often constructed as a wooden frame with beads sliding on wires, but originally they were beads or small stones moved in grooves in sand or on tablets of wood, stone, or metal.
The abacus was in use for centuries before the adoption of the written modern numeral system and is still widely used by merchants and clerks in China, Japan, Africa, India and elsewhere. The user of an abacus is called an abacist; he or she slides the beads of the abacus by hand.

Daughter coming back to school!
Today it is very sunny.
To my great delight, my daughter felt very well this morning, and she went to school delightedly. Seeing her come to herself, we are also extremely pleased. Her mother took her to the school gate, and then she went back to work.
Because there weren't any important lessons this afternoon, her mother took her to the hospital to have another injection immediately we had a rich and delicious lunch.
It is my biggest pleasure of today that my daughter felt very well and went back to school.
During this period of my daughter's being ill, my wife has made tremendous efforts and paid too much for it. I can find very easily that she has felt very tired and exhausted these two days. Not only does she go to work during the day, but she also cares for my sick daughter, and it is really hard for her.
My wife is a very good and dedicated nurse in work, and also a good hard-working mother in family. She has always touched me, so I am very proud of my devoted wife.

Daughter ill
Today it is very rainy!
Most unfortunately, my daughter is having a high fever!
Yesterday evening, she said that she didn't feel very well that morning, but she didn't think it very bad so she ignored it and didn't tell us parents because she is always a very strong girl which I am very proud of since ever. But last night her mother took her temperature of 39 degrees Celsius. So her mother did her some physical cooling the whole night so they didn't have a good sleep.However, during that time, I was sleeping very well and didn't do anything to help them so I am very guilty of my selfness.
So daughter wasn't able to go to school today, and she made five calls to her headteacher to ask for leave. This morning, wife took her to the hospital for the injection. They didn't come home back until half an hour I had prepared the lunch.
Daughter felt herself in a good state of mind and drank some bean juice. I was very glad that she did so well.
The whole afternoon she slept at home and in the evening she felt very well. After having supper with us, she practiced playing the piano a lot.
But coming back after the evening self-study, I found that she again had a fever and fell asleep. Her mother is looking at her. My poor girl.
But besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing because it is useful and helpful for her growth. Not only can it promote her personality, but can also cultivate the quality of her will. Take the bitter with the sweet, and life must be infinitely better.

SSSSSorry for my own LLLLLaziness!!
After almost one whole year, today I've had access to my own English Garden.
From the very bottom of my inside, I am always unable to bear it any longer, but sometimes after that, I will come to the old way and forgot what I once promised myself.
Personally, this deadly shortcoming has caused me to suffer from setbacks in life, and I am vulnerable to give up or in in studies, and so cannot go all out in my teaching career.
Today,very cloudy, it is SSSSSundy with on extra lessons after the one-day-and-half month test. Feeling very good this morning, I ran 25 laps on the playground with a total of 10,000 metres.
BBBBBut after the running, I felt very tired and exausted all the day.
Althought very exausted, it is also a very different feeling for my so boring a monologue life.
SSSSSo, it is very necessay for us to try to feel different from the last day. The daily different feeling is vey good for one person's state of mind and spirit and physique.
