—sixth topic for Huli English corner
1 New friends introduce themselves.
为了让大家每次自我介绍的时候可以发挥更好的水平，现提供一些简短的例子给大家，只要坚持练习，自我介绍就是成功的开始。
较简单的例子：Hello everyone.My name is XX1.I come from XX.
I'm very happy to come here to study with you.
This class feels just like a big family to me.
I'm interested in sport,pop music.I also enjoy playing games on net.I would love to play with you sometime.
I hope I can become your friend soon and make our dreams come true together.
其他例子
A：
My name is ________. I am graduate from ________ senior high school and major in ________. There are ________ people in my family. My father works in a computer company. And my mother is a housewife. I am the youngest one in my family.
In my spare time, I like to read novels. I think reading could enlarge my knowledge. As for novels, I could imagine whatever I like such as a well-known scientist or a kung-fu master. In addition to reading, I also like to play PC games. A lot of grownups think playing PC games hinders the students from learning. But I think PC games could motivate me to learn something such as English or Japanese.
My favorite course is English because I think it is interesting to say one thing via different sounds. I wish my English could be improved in the next four years and be able to speak fluent English in the future.
B：
I am . I was born in . I graduate from senior high school and major in English. I started learning English since I was 12 years old. My parents have a lot of American friends. That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.
In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes. I used to go abroad for a short- term English study. During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.
I think language is very interesting. I could express one substance by using different sounds. So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.
C：
My name is . There are 4 people in my family. My father is a Chemistry teacher. He teaches chemistry in senior high school. My mother is an English teacher. She teaches English in the university. I have a younger brother, he is a junior high school student and is preparing for the entrance exam.
I like to read English story books in my free time. Sometimes I surf the Internet and download the E- books to read. Reading E- books is fun. In addition, it also enlarges my vocabulary words because of the advanced technology and the vivid animations.
I hope to study both English and computer technology because I am interested in both of the subjects. Maybe one day I could combine both of them and apply to my research in the future.

5 Short article
How to study English well.
Most of us have being learning English for more than five years.But it’s a pity that most of us can not control it freely, we even don’t have the ability as a five years’ old children who’s mother language is English.
Why?
We don’t have enough time ? But why some of us can deal with it fluently?
We don’t have energy? But lots of CEO can speak several foreign languages?I think they must be more busy than us.
No money? No friends? No good atmosphere?
None of the above reasons comes into existence! Because we all guys sit here,it means we have all the factors to make us success! If we can not learn English well in such a good situation, the only reason is---lazy!

A good idea of Mr.Chen:
We must prepare a short story of ourselves in sports to reading on time.
每个人都要准备自己有关于运动方面的小故事，现场可以直接看着资料朗读出来。
6 Short article
a. Some people seem to think that sports and games are unimportant things that people do at times when they are not working, instead of going to the cinema, watching TV, listening to the radio, or sleeping. But in fact sports and games can be of great value, especially to people who work with their brains. They should not be treated only as amusements.
b. Sports and games build our bodies, prevent us from gaining weights, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only uses. They give us valuable practice in helping the eyes, brain and muscles to work together. In table tennis, the eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction, and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and sends its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where the player wants it to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at table tennis can do this successfully. For those who work with their brains, the practice of such skills is especially useful.

Brave Heart
Brave Heart is part of a historical film, part of a hero legend, part of romantic and part of nationalistic. It is about the story of William Wallace, a poor but free Scottish man, in 1280 AD. The sons and daughters of Scotland suffer lot under England’s cruel ruling. For his wife and families, Wallace revenges to fight back with his fellows against the English soldiers. They win more and more battles while Scottish nobles make more and more concessions under England’s bribery. Finally Wallace is betrayed by the nobles and sentenced to be hanged to death as a traitor.
This film is narrated according to William Wallace’s growing process. We can see it from the perspective of how a hero comes out. As a young lad in a farmer leader’s family, Wallace is brave to fight ever since then. He sees hanged Scottish people in a hutch under England’s trick. He sees his father’s death because of war. The young heart is shocked by the cruelty of life. Taken away from his village by his uncle, he is well educated. Different from other battle leaders in that time among farmers, he is not only excellent in strength, but also in wisdom and skills. He plans to settle down in the village have a family and a peaceful life. However, the raising part comes when his secret wife Murron killed by the English’s rule and the revival of his rebellious heart. He wins several battles and his team moves towards England and becomes a threaten to the tyranny Edward the Longshanks. His followers in creased by tens, hundreds, and groups. The turning point is in a great battle with England who gets the aid from Ireland, France and nobles in Scotland. Wallace is defeated in this battle seriously, but not because of his strategy in war, or small number of people but the betrayal of his own people, the nobles. They totally ignore his plan just for some estates, some material stuff. This failure implies not only a loss in Wallace, but the hierarchy difference and the inevitable tragic consequences. After this point, Wallace is trapped by Scottish nobles and the Englishmen. He refuses to beg for mercy and trials as a traitor of his country. The climax is in the dying moment of Wallace. He is hanged, racked, stabbed, but there is no cry of mercy from his mouth, and there is no sadness of regret from his eye. His last word “freedom” stuns the audience, shocks his enemies, frightens his traitors and inspires his followers to fight for the freedom of Scotland. The life of William Wallace is much more convincing than a history book, more touching than a heroic song, more solemn and stirring than the battle itself.
The relationship between the characters in this film is very amazing. The most important one is among Wallace, Murron, and the princess. In the funeral of Wallace’s father, Murron as a young girl gives Wallace a little purple flower to comfort him. Years later, Wallace comes back home and after his first ride with Murron, he gives that same dry little purple flower back to Murron. He cherishes the friendship for all these years. His marriage swear is “I’ll love you my whole life. You and no other.” Indeed his whole life changes because of the love to Murron, and Murron’s figure hangs his brain through all the time. The princess’ marriage is totally a political one between France and England. The English prince is lack the ability to love others. Instead the princess is amazed to hear the love story of Wallace and his wife. In Wallace’s eye he sees Murron on the princess because they are the same brave in heart. That can explain the development in their relationship later. The relation between Wallace, Longshank and old Bruce represents the relation of the uprising farmers, England and Scotland’s ruling class. They are arranged to die at the same time. Wallace in the street under the sun, while the other two in dark rooms. They struggle to live for different purposes, but death falls in them equally. That proves Wallace’s speech about death before a battle.
Freedom is the everlasting theme in this film. From the beginning scene we can see the whole picture and implicature. The water roars. The high land is so great. The fog clears up little by little and the pastoral scenery in Scotland is so charming. Everything is in its natural way, free to come and free to go. His father’s will is “Your heart is free to have the courage to follow you.” Wallace thinks the reason for the existence of noble’s position is “to provide those people with freedom”. He does everything for freedom, the freedom of himself, his family, his followers and his compatriots. Every battle he is in and every faith he holds prove the theme freedom. And the title Brave Heart results in freedom. Dare to dream and dare to do. The film closes the distance between ideal and reality in life.

Tourists Travel before May Day Holiday
Two weeks ahead of the May Day holiday, many travel agencies in China are busy accommodating customers.
Many people have decided to travel before the week-long vacation to avoid the busy travel season.
One customer in southwest China's Chongqing has this to say.
"We've decided to travel ahead of the golden week because accommodations and other costs will be cheaper. The travel costs during the golden week are high."
In travel agencies in central China's Shangqiu city, the number of people who have called to book travel services have increased sharply starting from mid-March.
Meanwhile, air ticket prices to domestic and overseas cities will begin to increase next week.
Insiders say one reason is airlines have begun to adopt their peak season prices.
Some overseas tourist destinations have also raised their prices in many aspects in anticipation of China's golden week.
Tourism supervision departments remind tourists not to consider prices only while choosing a travel route.
They suggest people take flights, hotel, food and shopping sites into full consideration.

Step 4 Studying the good novel:
The Happy Door 快乐之门
Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty.
There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.
Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.
Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be!
It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.
Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.
Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.

--------Foods
Our traditional food culture is very different from the West. However, with fast-food and western food culture infiltrating our country, most of us are getting pretty used to the western food culture. The biggest problem in talking about food to a westerner is describing our traditional food, and our food culture itself. Therefore , we’ll learn how to describe preparing a dish, describing flavors, and describing our food to westerners.
