You all have been a pleasure to teach. I would like to wish you all the very best in all your endeavours and a bright future ahead. Continue to work hard. Remember--life is about the choices you make.

We have talked about the many things out the environment and species on the earth. Long before, we were not familiar with the following words such as the green house, over exploiting, endanger animals and so on. However, these problems have been focused on so much in modern times, which indicates that we are having more serious environment problems than before. At the same time, animals are disappearing at a faster speed. So we may draw a conclusion that there are some relationships between the worse environment and the extinctions. Once I heard some reasons about the extinction of dinosaurs and the changes of the environment make a big difference. If creatures want to live on they must try their best to adjust to the new surroundings including the climate and the food. During this process, some species may find it too hard to achieve this goal so they die out. No one can defeat the nature even the strong dinosaurs. All in all, whether we can live well on this earth depends on the way we treat the nature. So be kind to the nature.
About research project
I really appreciate the chance we have to carry out the research and do the report. I gained a lot from it.
The first one is my computer skills. Before I came Singapore, I had been determined to pick up how to use Microsoft Office. Due to delay and my laziness, I haven't improved much. Fortunately, the research report gave us the chance. We have a lot of tasks to do which must be done with Office,
so I really learned a lot about it.
Besides the technical skills, I also learned many skills in presentation. Such as eye contact, body language, pitch, tones, pause, gesture, voice, etc. What is more, I gained more confidence during the process, which is the most important for a foreign speaker.
Thirdly, teamwork. As Chinese students, teamwork is exactly what we lack. We learned how to share our thoughts, how to exchange ideas, how to persuade other members to accepted our ideas. Conflicts cannot be avoided, but we all understand others, we know that we all sacrificed a lot. And our friendship grows much stronger.
In a word, a meaningful research report.

My Final Blog
Yesterday, we had a wonderful basketball match, our class won the game with excitement.
It is a thrilling game from the beginning to the end.
At the beginning, our opponent team won the control of the ball. Luckily, their first shooting did not goal. On the other hand, our control of the ball also did not goal, but because of the offence from the opponent team, our team won the 1 score by the penalty shot. Moreiver, because our leader LuoWei was a little bit tired, he gave me the chance to take part in the match. Even though my debut did not last for more than 1 minnute, however, I still felt happy for I could take part in our class activity.
Due to our team leader was too strong in his basketball skill, we won a great success finally. Despite our team will confront a strong team in next match, I still strongly trust our team will win the final champion.

We are group3
After no more than 10 days, our English classes will end. As a member of group3, I am glad that I made acquaintance with so many friends and knew 5 tutors. Although in the future we will not have classes together, do more work together and have fun together, we all are still group3 forever.
Time flies. At the very beginning of our memory, we were all strangers and knew little about each other. Then in the next five months, we stay together nearly every day and start to enjoy the existence of new friends and new tutors. Paragraphs, essays, telling-stories, debate and the team research…all of them build our lives. We are busy and we complained. However, we are learning and we grew up. A few days ago, I made a video about the 19th SM3 students. Many photos about our groups are collected and I chose the most interesting ones. It took me three nights to finish the video. However, I think it is worthwhile. The pictures are the memories and they remind me of many impressing things. I hope everyone can see the video and remember our group forever.
I hope we can still remember each other when we enter the nus and we are all friends for over.

We Won, I Lost
This is a fantastic weekend. Our own basketball games finally carried out. In the game with group 5, we got the final victory. However, my performance was not satisfactory.
Luo Wei had his fingerprints all over. He scored 56 points. Shi Hongyangyang and I got 8 points each other. He Yu added 2 points. We beat group 5, who scored 49 points.
For the first half, we were playing badly. Group 5 did their job well and even took advantage for some time. The second half was ours. All our effort worked out smoothly. We got the victory as expected.
I played badly. Though we got the victory, I did not play myself. For example, in a fastbreak, there was no defender in front of me. Everything seemed so clear. All I had to do was to put the ball inside the basket. However, when the final moment came, my hand shook and the ball did not go inside. Everyone was laughing and I felt ashamed. Why could not I score such easy ball.
Anyway, we won. Nevertheless, I had to say that our group won, while I lost. Hope that next time I can have a much better performance.
Final blog
I cannot believe that I have
been in Singapore for nearly half a year. I think I have learnt a lot during my
bridging course. I have experience so many affairs with my friends. We believe
that we are friends not because we are in the same location, but because we
supported each other to get through the troubles and share the happiness
together. In Singapore I came across my old friends who came here as SM2 or as
SM2.5 before my coming. What's more important, I made some new friends here.
Maybe we all feel homesick when we are in Singapore, so we are willing to share
our experience in China. I also have gotten to know the education in Singapore
is very different from China. I think many students do not have many things to
do here and they can manage their own time. Therefore, I think the best thing I
have learnt is to organize my own life here. I need to take care of myself. To
become independent is not as simple as I have image before. However, I believe
I have improved a lot and I will be better in the future.
