My Opinion on Movies
I love movies. Some people like to see thrillers, science fiction, or action movies, but I prefer romance, fantasy, and comedy films. A number of people think going to a movie theater is a waste of time and money. However, I strongly disagree. I think going to a movie theater is a pleasure because the quality and sound effects are better than watching a movie at home. It is also great to laugh or scream with the crowd in the theater. For me, seeing a movie is a great way to spend time with my friends or family.

Two poems
I'm only a cat,
and I stay in my place...
Up there on your chair,
on your bed or your face!
I'm only a cat,
and I don't finick much...
I'm happy with creamand anchovies and such!
I'm only a cat,
and we'll get along fine...
As long as you knowI'm not yours...
you're all mine!
---------------------------------------
The things I have seen,
The places I have been,
The feelings I have felt,
My cards are all dealt.
Are these just for me to know,
Or has it always been so.
I'll never let them Go.
==============================
These are my favorite two poems.
The reason I like the former one is that many friends of mine think that I looked like cat , and I appreciate the poet , who is good at writing with the first person.
I like the second one because I felt assured and more confident after reading the poem.I am a dillydally girl , everytime I make decision , I felt nervous. Using this poem as a reminder to encourage myself and be better in the future.

table tennis
We had the game in December 17th. Every grade of ELE can have the game by forming a team.
That day, there has four teams, ELE98 first class, ELE98 second class, ELE99 first class, ELE99 second class. At first, we game with ELE99second class . But we get lost as 3:4.Second, we game with ELE98 first class, we also get lost as 1:6. We didn't win the game. However, the price is not the key point, but the feelings to our class is the most important thing we have!

The Legend of 1900
I saw the movie" The Legend of 1900" at the library yesterday.
The music of the movie was touched to me. I love it!
This is the story of it
The Legend of 1900 is an interesting new fable from legendary Italian filmmaker Guiseppe Tornatore, maker of Cinema Paradiso and The Star Maker. Based on a monologue by Alessandro Baricco, The Legend of 1900 tells the story of a unique man who never set foot upon dry land. On January 1, 1900, a small baby boy was found abandoned on the Virginian, a transatlantic ship. The crewman who found him names the boy Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900; 1900 for short. 1900 is a true orphan. He knows nothing about his parents or his past. The Virginian is the only thing he knows.
The story unfolds as a series of flashbacks told by a man named Max (Pruitt Taylor Vance, Nobody's Fool, Mumford). In a series of events that seem awkward to the viewer, Max tells various people he meets about his experiences aboard the Virginian with 1900 (Tim Roth, No Way Home, Gridlock'd). The transitions are clunky, causing the story to frequently halt for further exposition before continuing. At a young age, 1900 became a piano prodigy. He entranced people with his ability to play the piano, and dumbfounded people with his refusal to leave the ship. 1900 helped Max ease his transition onto the ocean, and the two became friends, playing together in the band. Max details 1900's experiences with love (in a very Titanic-like meeting), and his encounter with Jelly Roll Morton . Morton is irrationally jealous of 1900 and challenges him to a piano duel to determine the better player. Williams glowers through his role, which is interesting but one-dimensional.
Roth plays 1900 as an enigma. He shows emotion only when he is playing the piano. Vance's character is much more annoying. His only purpose is the narrator. Tornatore gives no reason as to why the two become friends, or remain friends for such a long time. 1900 is well liked by the crew, so why is Max the person 1900 confides in the most? The music of The Legend of 1900 was composed by another legend, Ennio Morricone. Morricone composed more than 400 scores over his career, garnering numerous nominations in the process. Morricone's music permeates the movie, rising and falling with the moods of the characters. The production on The Legend of 1900 is gorgeous. The special effects are great, but here it is a good thing. Long shots of the Virginian do not look quite real, instead it looks almost magical. This is Tornatore's first English film, and although it isn't outstanding, it is a nice effort.

Horsehead Nebula
Horsehead Nebula, the most famous nebulae in the sky. It looks like horse's head.It is one of my favorite nebulae!"One of the most identifiable nebulae in the sky, the Horsehead Nebula in Orion, is part of a large, dark, molecular cloud. Also known as Barnard 33, the unusual shape was first discovered on a photographic plate in the late 1800s. The red glow originates from hydrogen gas predominantly behind the nebula, ionized by the nearby bright star Sigma Orionis. The darkness of the Horsehead is caused mostly by thick dust, although the lower part of the Horsehead's neck casts a shadow to the left. Streams of gas leaving the nebula are funneled by a strong magnetic field. Bright spots in the Horsehead Nebula base are young stars just in the process of forming . Light takes about 1500 years to reach us from the Horsehead Nebula. The above image was taken with the 0.9-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory."
