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.
春天到了,春姑娘蹦蹦跳跳地来到了公园里,她吹了一口仙气说:“变”!于是小草探出头来了,小花向我们点点头告诉我们春天来了。树木长出了嫩芽,平静的小河上,有几天小船在前面行驶。我在公园里玩了许多游戏,如打篮球,每当双休日,我拿着篮球到公园里去打,在公园里玩我感到很快乐!
夏天到了,草地上有密密的草。树叶也都十分茂密。荷花开了,它给夏天增添了一片生气。晚上的时候,公园里有许多人都在悠闲地散步,有的老年人还聚集在一起跳舞呢。
秋天到了,公园里有的果实可以丰收了,果子们三个一堆,五个一伙,仿佛在告诉人们快来摘我呀!草地上的小草都枯黄了,树叶也纷纷地落下来了。给大地披上了金黄色的衣服。
冬天到了,下起了大雪。纷纷扬扬的雪花飘落下来了,整个大地披上了白色的衣服,美丽极了!我们在雪地上打雪仗、堆雪人!
我建议大家有空去我家前面的公园走走。
——题记
“英语就考了106分,做了那么多练习什么用?!你看看人家小叶也不看见做什么课外练习都考了129分!”英语老师用严厉的口吻批评着我,语气有些愤怒、有些失望。
我眼眶差点溢出了委屈的泪水,我也很努力去学习英语。背单词、做练习我也很用心啊。为什么就考不出70分的范围?为什么要有英语这课程?为什么我们要学习?为什么外国不是和我们一样说汉语而是英语?
突然想起了吴克群的《将军令》中的一句歌词:“我知道yoyoyo不是我的'语言……在你的世界学你说ABCD,在我的土地对不起请说华语……”
……
啊!英语,
你是正极,我是负极,我们一短兵相接就会使战争的导线升温!
你是老鼠,我就是猫,在自然界的生存法则里我们永远是天敌!
你是kiss,我是kill,所以我们就像爱与恨一样永远是opposite……
你是……
“侬有空写这些乱七八糟的东西,不会去多背几个单词,去做会阅读啊!……”一个熟悉又让我有些厌恶的声音像幽灵一样从我身后冒了出来。我几乎可以想象出接下来所谓的“台词”是什么。那些话已经停了不下N遍了,我都可以一字不漏地把那些台词复述出来。我想我的耳膜已经对这些“站着说话不嫌腰疼”的话产生抗体形成自动免疫功能。
我仍然陷在我的浮想中。我独来独往走在云彩之上,身边路过拿着英语书、词组纸的同学,目光茫然。我唤醒他们。
他们却对我说:“要上英语课了,你还不背单词啊!”我一愣。我想哭泣,想逃离,但是我此时此刻却不知道欲去何方……
我深陷在眼瞳中的字母里,昏厥,猛睁眼,天亮了,英语仍在……
Nowadays, advertisements can be found everywhere in big cities. They shout at us from the television screen and radio loudspeakers, wave to us from every page of the newspaper, signal to us from the roadside billboards all day and flash messages to us in colored lights all night.
Faced with a flood of advertisement, some people wonder whether it is necessary to have such huge sums spent on advertising. They often cite in illustration of it the attractive, but false and deceptive advertisements to which many consumers fall victim. Why don't we stop advertising and use the money to reduce the price of goods? It sounds like a good idea, but they fail to notice the contribution advertising makes to our society. Because the production of a better product to compete for customers' money is the goal of advertisers, customers are thus given a chance to compare their products and get the best and cheapest one. Besides, as the advertisement can provide people with a lot of immediate and detailed information as to the availability of a certain product, or a service or a job, it makes life much more convenient. And another thing we mustn't forget: the fact that we pay so little for our daily newspapers and TV programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers.
Advertising performs such a useful service to our society that we can't imagine what would happen if there were no advertisements. (198 words
