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.
六年一班的表演方式最有趣,他们不仅唱歌,还有现场的架子鼓和吉他配乐呢!这引来了周围许多崇拜和羡慕的目光,但是坐在右边弹吉他的两个同学就没有他那么“出色”了,他们的吉他声被盖住了,但丝毫没有沮丧。
六年四班演完后,左边的四年一班居然悄悄地站了起来。原来四年级是第二个演出的年级啊!我恍然大悟,心里不由得泛起一丝紧张。四年一班表演过了,他们赢得的掌声几乎跟六年一班一样热烈。这时候,我们已经到了候场的位置,我的心怦怦直跳。
现在请四年三班给我们带来《歌声与微笑》,周围响起了掌声,我们班本来是很成功地入了场。不料,我前方的`几位排头同学不知怎么了,一下子转向了观众,有几个看上去转回去的时候偷笑哩!我赶紧抓住提示和跟着他们一起转的冲动,想:老师说过,听到统一的口令后才能转!因为排练时有同学犯了同样的错误。
终于听到吴同学喊的口令!我们转向了观众。表演一开始,我就不再紧张,心里正庆幸不是我一个人上台。这时,我发现我们班的班主任陈老师正“不辞劳苦”地“偷偷”地站在摄影机后面给我们当指挥呢!这给了我们许多帮助,也使我的心踏实了许多。不知不觉,我们又在台下当观众了!
真是一次不凡的活动,希望我们班能拿到第一名。
今天上午,我在火炬学校参加了青少年英语比赛,我怀着紧张的心情,走进了考场。
比赛之前,监考老师讲完规则后,每人发了三张试卷,其中一张答题卡,两张题目,铃声一响,比赛正式开始。
环节一:听力和默写。考生们纷纷拿出笔,做好了听写准备,监考老师在上面报单词,每个报两遍,考生在下面默写,过十几秒继续下一个单词。考生们都聚精会神在下面听和写,一个字也不说,安静得连考生的呼吸声都能听见,时间过得很快,不一会儿第一环节结束了。
环节二:笔试。第一题是选则题,我觉得比较简单,紧张的心情稍稍放松了一些。轻松的答题,很快便答完了。第二题是根据已知的问句用英语写答句,我看了很久,有点懵了,因为问句我看都看不懂,又没人问,根本做不出,结束铃声响了,到最后不得已放弃。
我真希望这次比赛能取得好成绩!
