rewarded by god one day. God is equal to everyone!

dictionary with you at all time. When you see a new word, look it up. Think
about the word–use it. in your mind, in a sentence.
(经常使用字典和语法指南。随身携带一本小英文字典,当你看到一个新字时就去查阅它,想想这个字然后去用它,在你的心中,在一个句子里。)

8. Try to think in English whenever possible. When you see something, think of
the English word of it; then think about the word in a sentence.
(一有机会就努力去用英文来思考。看到某事时,想想它的英文单词;然后把它用到一个句子中去。)

9. Practice tenses as much as possible. When you learn a new verb, learn its
various forms.

今天电发了

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

        
从上周一开始,申城鄹降温,目前最高温度只有5、6度左右。感觉好冷啊。儿子一直在流鼻涕,看了医生也不见好。但愿天气再暖点就好了。
      我的头发老是油油的,贴着头皮,感觉难受。趁今天有空,就到楼下的“零点
”去做头发。美发师是一个文静小伙,做事慢条斯理,精雕细琢,感觉还不错。经过大概三个小时,作品终于出笼了。给人很爽的感觉。
      从下周开始,就要忙着准备高级评审了。其实之前我早就有所准备了,总结、教案之类的都已准备妥当,目前就不用急吼拉吼了。不过还是要准备一下笔试、论坛和专家听课等。这真是一桩心事,不知到年底能否解脱?
