A big dinner

It is my last blog post for ales 204. Nice to meet you guys here. It is almost the end of the term. Everyone would be suffering from papers and finals. Relax, guys. Yesterday, I took one day off to have fun.  Hahah...right.  I went to T&T supermarket and bought  a lot stuffs and prepared a big meal for myself.
The image below is what I had for my meal yesterday.

Here are the dishes I cooked yesterday. Almost traditional Chinese dishes. Do you see the left dish( the one with black plate). It is my favoriate dish.  The ingredients is cooked beef piece and tomatoes Firstly, I cut into small pieces. Tomatoes had also been cut into small pieces.  Then ,  fried tomatoes and beef piece, and added tomato a scoop of salt and one scoop of black pepper. Third, I've boiled  beef and tomatoes for 15 mins. At last, according to taste a gelatinous salt, I turned off the heat and append a little monosodium glutamate. I haven't cooked for a long time, because I had a lot of assignments to due :( I enjoyed the meal a lot yesterday. Also, I had a special desert. Here is the picture

It is made up of mago. Pretty, isn't it?
As a traditional Chinese girl, I always keep the word that my mum told me in my mind. She told me that if I wanted to be a traditional Chinese girl, I should be good at cooking. After I came to Canada, I missed my mum's cooking a lot. I was trying to cook dishes in the way she did. I learned how to cook these 3 dishes from my mum. You must be curious. Why I cooked the dishes that learned from my mum. Because I miss her a lot. I've left home for a long time.

At last, I am so happy to be with you guys in ales 204. I enjoyed it a lot in the class. I wish you guys can get a great grade for finals. Enjoy your holidays. For me , I am preparing to go back to China for Christmas. I will graduate soon in the comming winter.  The memory of being with you guys will last long.
It is a picture that I took near Cameron Library. The pumplin is cute, isn't it?
I enjoyed my life a lot here. Hope you guys enjoy your holiday.

What I've learned from ALES204

It is almost the end of the term. I am so happy to be with lovely Jessel and TAs in the class. In this class, I have learned a lot of useful things. As an international student, I didn't have many chances to access to some media tools that Canadian people use. For example, I just knew facebook before I took this course. I didn't know how to use twitter and linkdin. After I got a chance to use twitter in ALES204, I add my favoriate singers, avril lavigne and  Justin Bieber. Now I can know how they think through twitter.
This semester, I went to Lavigne's concert. I took a lot of pictures, and shared the pictures with my friends on facebook. I would like to share these pictures with you guys.
See! How she sings. Cool!
Also, in this class, I know a lot things that I didn't know before. Before I did science article on option 1, I had no idea about the Open Access Movement.  Now I realise how important it is. In the class I noticed there were several types of open access. I believe I could find the right one for myself.
In China, we have some communication tools. For example,QQ. It is a tool similiar to MSN. A lot Chinese have this program. This is my profile page of my qq.
Everyday, I use QQ to chat and talk with my parents and friends. Yesterday, my sister sent a picture to me . It is about her wedding. She is just one year old than me. Now she is married. Maybe, it's the time for me to get a boyfriend. Hahah, just kidding.
This is a picture about my sister's wedding. Just want to share with you guys.

To me, communication tool is important, because I would like to know about my parents, my friends. The internet changes the world. Now we get more close to each other by using these communication tools.
