This video is for Greg.  Cheers for John Lennon!!


It is not a music video, but I believe you will love it too.  If you haven't seen these movies, go to see right now.  They are very entertaining. 


I love his voice.

我父亲在美国生活的日记


images-4.jpg

女儿在泊克莱上学,为了经常去,还要深入了解一下美国的国情,搜索了不少有美国国情的历史、地理、人文、社会、风土人情、等资料,研究了一番。迅速办理了各种相关手续,如期到达女儿家中

刚到美国第二天,按耐不住好奇的心情,一早就与老伴到街上逛逛。这天,蓝天白云,天气甚佳,一路走去;一栋栋的小洋房如同艺术品,乳白色、粉红色、灰褐色,一栋赛着一栋的漂亮,争奇斗艳美不胜收

"别再走了,小心迷路,找不到家!"

老伴警惕性挺高,不时的提醒我。

"不用担心跟我走没错"

我父亲在美国生活的日记

在美国到处都能遇到新鲜事,我在英语学校学习的同桌。张太太,四十多岁,身高1.70左右,办事认真,热情好动。学习很认真。近两天没来上课,第三天突然来了,额头上多了一条"创可贴"胶布。

刚到教室,还没坐下,就气呼呼的说道:

"老美哪是我的对手!"

"怎么回事,怎么受伤了?" 我忙问;

"是这么回事。"张太太坐下来,静了静心,环顾四周,娓娓道来。

"前天早上,我送二小子去学校上课,回来时碰上堵车,足足等了二十分钟,通车后,马上进入80号高速公路,点了下油门,一下子就加速到90迈,转眼我就超过前面的一辆车,正当我得意时,不知从哪里钻出来一辆警车,闪着警灯,狂叫着,抢到我的车前,把我的车挤到路边。"

我父亲在美国生活的日记
       

baggy pants

我在美国,对什么事情都会感到新奇,但往往自以为是,却弄出不少的笑话来。

在参加一个英语学校学习时,每当中午下课后,我都可以看到在校门口聚集着七八个青年人,从肤色看像墨西哥人或非洲人,也有一些亚籍人,多为十几岁,二十多岁的样子,有男有女。在学校门口说说笑笑,以我的英语能力,当然听不懂他们说什么,但他们从不打闹,只是各自说着自己的事情,但引起了我特别注意的是,这些人穿的牛仔裤太奇怪了,牛仔裤,宽腰带,特别是那些男孩子所穿牛仔裤,腰带松松垮垮,以至于腰带滑落至臀部以下,使得肥大的裤腿一直堆到地面,活像两个破帆布口袋。

我父亲在美国生活的日记

女儿家在旧金山郊区的一个小镇。每当我和老伴出门时总会看到邻居家门口站着一个大约2岁的小女孩向我招手,清脆的说声"hello!!"我们当然愉快的回应到"hi!!hello!"。

     小女孩是白种人,卷曲的金色头发在阳光下闪闪发光,真像一个小天使,名叫"阿基尼亚"我们记不住他的名字,就管他叫"小卷毛",一来二去时间长了,我们与小卷毛也混熟了,找机会用我这半生不熟的英语与她说两句,一为了听听这个小洋人好听地道的英语,二为熟悉一下美国人的生活。

我父亲在美国生活的日记

images-1.jpg女儿家附近有条小河,河边是一片茂密的灌木丛,大约有半个足球场大,杂草足有一米多高,密不透风。为图方便,人们都经常沿着草丛外围到对面的体育场去散步,久而久之,踏出一条弯弯曲曲的小路。

这一天,草地的四周被大约一米五高的绿色绳网围了起来,我们只好绕路而行。又过了一天,不知从哪里来的一群山羊,足有三十多只,大小都有。在绳网边上还建立了一个帆布绿色小帐篷,一些锅碗,桌床生活用品,看来是要长期居住下来,此时,心里想"大概有人要在这里养羊了,这下子我们的居住环境可要糟糕了"我将此事说给在美国多年的陈先生,陈先生没有回答,笑着说"你慢慢等等看";又过了三四天,每天都能看到那群山羊在绿色绳网中跑来跑去,杂草也一天天的少了,第五天路过时,山羊没有了,绿色的绳网也没有了,绿色的帆布和牧羊人的小帐篷也不见了,只剩下平整、干净的地面,几个小孩子在上面踢球游戏。

初到美国,一出门就感到不懂英语带来的烦恼。正像朋友们所说的,走在街上是正经八经的瞎子、聋子、哑巴。路标不认识,汽车站牌看不懂,商店不敢进,连找厕所都不会问,纯粹一个"全职"傻子,一级残废。

几天的苦恼后,托朋友找到一个成人英语学校,而且是免费的,随之就报名,填表,测验。就算入学了,分配到初级班,我自称"扫盲班"一切从零开始,A,B,C,...发音;大写,小写,印刷体,手写体,每天四个小时。教师当然是正宗的"外教"。对我这个从未学过英语的人来说,日有所进,收益非浅。

How are you.

Good morning

Where are you form

I'am from china

这个英文班学生来自世界各地,,墨西哥、肯尼亚、伊朗、巴基斯坦、越南、柬埔寨。。。。。。三十七个学生中来自二十四个国家,真不可思议,这是"世界大家庭英语学习班"。年龄上至75岁,下至18岁,肤色各异,风俗不同,十分有趣。在这个英语学校中新奇的事物太多了,有时能笑破肚皮。

I LOVE IT!!!  They are nerds!!  BUT, I LOVE THEM!!  They are  so silly, cute, funny and brave.  This funny video made them stars in America.  Use ordinary things in creative ways!     Enjoy!!
I received this great question from one of my internet friends:

  
VM._SY140_SX100_.jpg"不知道阁下看过《美国派》系列的电影没有,其中的关于性的自由和开放是我们国内大学生,可以说是很难想象的。我很怀疑其荒诞和夸张性,不知道真是情况如何。 美国的青少年自由好像过多的给人以随意和不负责任,但我所了解的,只是从电影上,,做戏而已,其中偏颇,还望斧正."
That is a very good question.  Yeah, while the story in "American Pie" is a little bit exaggerated夸张, the desire渴望 for sex in American teens青少年 is very real真实的.  In the US, some schools start teaching sex education性教育 as early as the 5th grade (小学5级)and go through to high school.

I feel so bad that I have listened to this song so many times but I didn't know her name until today.  Well, I remember now!  Her name is Shania Twain.

Finally, at Tommy's request I finished this article.  Yeah, he was right, this is the best article we have read for a very long time. 

First, let me explain what "nerd" is.

According to Longman

Nerd is someone who seems only interested in computers and other technical things.
Nerd is
someone who seems very boring and unfashionable, and is not good in social situations

Well, don't listen to the dictionary which underestimate the nerds.  Nerds are very smart and have very different ways of working.  Without nerds, there would be no Microsoft, no Google, no IBM, no Apple and no INTERNET.  Read this article to understand how nerds work.  Enjoy!!!

Tommy and I  met at JingAn Park静安公园 English corner英语角 in Shanghai at 2000...

    It was the first Sunday Morning in October十月.  I was lying躺 on my bed in my dorm room学生宿舍 and enjoying the sunlight touching my face.  I turned over翻身 and glanced看了一眼 through透过 the window; it was a sunny day.  I love this season季节 especially特别是 in Shanghai; a beautiful city with beautiful weather.  I felt感觉 my quilt被子 was so warm and soft under the sun.  It was my first lazy Sunday in a very long time after my ex-boyfriend前男友 broke up with me和我分手 at beginning of 2000. 

Yes, I like her.  I don't care what other people say.  Christina Aguilera is one of my favorite singers in the US.  Many Americans don't like her because she is a little bit trashy.  Who cares!  For me, as long as she has a great voice and is very entertaining, I will go to see her concert if I get a chance.  I think too many people care about entertainers' private lives too much and critize them petulantly.  Well, I believe that no one is perfect. The reason the world is so interesting is because there are so many people who are very different. There is no right and wrong to be who you are except, of course, for criminals.  
The following story uses words from GRE Word Group Set 2   Bold are corrections made by a native English speaker (Tommy).  

   
s738298952_209309_1924.jpg    Six years ago, when I first arrived in San Francisco, I thought, "WOW, this is it, this is America."  I believed that the rest of America would be the same as the place I am standing, California.  Well, in fact, I was wrong.  One of my English professors who traveled the entire US last year told me that California is the dream of American and it is very different from the rest of the country.  Californians are very liberal and free minded.  
Well, what about other Americans, like New Yorkers.  The most comments about New Yorkers I have received is most of them are irascible.  They
