When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
My English teacher
My English teacher is in her forties. She has been an English teacher for more than twenty years. She always works hard and carefully. She is a very great teacher in my mind. She is not only strict to us but also kind and friendly. She often encourages us to talk and read more in English. Her class is so interesting and active that we all love her class and her very much.I think i am so lucky to be her student
My mother has a pair of small eyes, smiling and narrowing into a seam. She had a small cherry mouth under her straight nose. My mother's hair is a little different - it's curly, and she's joked that she doesn't need a perm.
我妈妈喜欢烧菜。妈妈有空的时候,会给我和弟弟做好吃的饭菜。有她最拿手的.香喷喷的煎饺,有又麻又辣的干锅牛蛙,还有又香又脆的炸鸡腿,弟弟说比KFC的鸡腿还要好吃。
My mother likes cooking. When mum is free, she will cook delicious meals for my brother and me. There are her best fried dumplings, spicy dry pot bullfrogs and crispy fried chicken legs. My brother says they are better than KFC chicken legs.
妈妈特别善良。每次我们在街上碰到乞讨的人,妈妈都会拿出零钱给他们,并教育我要乐于助人。
Mother is very kind. Every time we meet beggars in the street, my mother will give them change and teach me to be helpful.
我爱我的妈妈。
I love my mother.
我们六一班的英语老师有20岁左右。她有一头乌黑油亮的头发,淡淡的眉毛下有一双水汪汪的大眼睛。然而,她双眼中间的鼻梁却是塌的,她一脸的冷酷与那张樱桃小嘴显得很不协调。
还记得开学第一天,本来喊着“欢迎老师”的同学霎时停了下来。一位年轻老师走到讲台中间转过身来,板着脸严肃地说道:“以后你们的英语课由我来上。”霎时,教室里突然静得出奇。同学都被这冷冰冰的一句话给吓“傻”了,呆呆地坐着,眼睛瞪得比木槌还直。之后的半个小时她都在“训斥”我们:“……要是有同学说话——没商量,我就用杆子抽他!要是我听说有人在背后骂我,你就给我等着……”下课后,每个同学都不由自主地打了个寒颤。
接下来的日子里,英语老师下课拖堂、“非法”占用微机课和体育课、作业量布置太大。这些“罪行”使同学们对她没有一丝好感。
一天,英语老师用英语讲了一整节课,同学们就叫她“放臭洋屁的”,得知英语老师写字要用卫生纸包着粉笔写,她的外号就成了“死臭美的”。
终于有一天,周侠宇同学被老师罚写14遍英文加14遍译文,他背地里对英语老师狠狠地骂了一顿,并在楼梯的墙壁上刻下了骂英语老师的脏话。这件事很快就被英语老师知道了。英语老师就像只暴怒的狮子,她的举动让大家都惊呆了。只见她从教室里将周侠宇“揪”出来,然后就对他大打出手。五分钟后,周侠宇就被带进了英语办公室。又一阵拳打脚踢过后,英语老师就开始了她的“长篇小说:“……你说说你该罚吗?你真是无耻!你还有良心吗?不想学趁早滚蛋……”在窗外偷看的同学早已看不下去了,都想进去找英语老师理论理论。
我永远也忘不了英语老师那张“凶神恶煞”的脸,但我多么希望英语老师能够和蔼一些,经常笑笑,给下一个班的同学们留下一个好的印象。

陈老师是我的课外班英语老师,他非常幽默,英语水平也非同小可,这次就让我介绍介绍他吧。
陈老师三十来岁,长着圆圆的脸,大眼睛大嘴巴,鼻梁上架着一副眼镜。最能形容陈老师的词,非“大腹便便”莫属了。记得我第一次去他那儿参加英语水平测试时,第一眼看见他,我的目光就被他的肚子给吸引住了——陈老师的肚子可真大呀!要是他能成90度坐在床上,肚子可真得给压爆了......
上课的时候,陈老师经常引得全班哄堂大笑!有一次,陈老师在跟我们讲解“such”与“so”,他的造句让我们笑得肚子都疼了。你猜他造的是什么句子?他先用“such”造句:“Ken is such a fat man that he can't enter in his room.”(肯是一个非常胖的男人,以至于卡在了他的房间门口,进不去了。)我们了解到中文意思,再看到陈老师的体型,不禁哄堂大笑。这是,陈老师却做出一副淡定的表情,说:“别急,我们先把这个句子命名为‘卡住了’。”接着他又用“so”造句:“Ken is so fat that he can't enter in his room.”(中文意思同上),在我们的“哇哈嘎哈哈”声中,陈老师继续淡定地又说了一句:“我们把这个句子命名为‘又卡住了’。”当他再想把这两个句子向我们作对比时,班上的爆笑声已经无法停止了。
陈老师还收集了许多搞笑的图片,制成了一个专门的“雷人图片”文件夹。那里面图片的搞笑程度已经无法用言语来形容了......下次,我一定要去他那儿把图片全部拷贝过来,给大家展示展示。
这就是我们英语课外班的陈老师,希望大家都能认识他。
