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.
This is my first week in ** Senior Middle School.Everything here is new for me.Our school is an old school but it`s very beautiful.I have 50 new classmates in my class.They`re all very excellent, I think, and I felt a little sad.Because I`m too common.But come to think of it,it`s a very good thing.I believe I can also be very excellent if I study with such excellent classmates.I didn`t know why Ms *** chose me to be the committee of study.But I know it`s a good chance for me to raise my ability.All I can do is do my best in the future.I am sure that Ms *** and my classmates can help me when I do something wrong. Because they`re all very kind.It`s a pleasure to work and study with them.I`m really very happy.I`m not an outstanding student in this class,but I can do the same thing like others.I believe I won`t make anyone disappointed.
Dear Dad,

不久前,我们对中外学生语言学习的情况进行了调查,分析了中外学生的学习状态,发现存在以下几个方面的差异:
1.学习驱动力方面的差别
在近五年的汉语教学中,当每个留学生被问到“你为什么来中国学汉语?”时,他们的第一个答案就是“兴趣”。毋庸置疑,国外学生学习的最大动力就是个人兴趣。而中国非英语专业的大学生学习英语也是两年时间,但都是大班教学(少则五六十人,多则超过一百人),由学校统一编班,统一安排教学进度和课程设置。由于学生学习水平参差不齐,带课教师不能照顾到每个学生,只能根据多数学生的语言掌握情况安排教学,从而被动地忽视了个体的差异性,也导致了许多学生学习的积极性不高。我国许多学生争取高成绩是为了拿到奖学金,将来毕业找到一份好的工作,为家里减轻负担;有的是为了考取研究生或推免而本硕连读;有的也仅仅是为了及格;有的是为了追求真理;也有的是为了实现自己的社会价值。总之,中外学生在学习上的驱动力差别较大。
2.学习目的的差别
中外学生学习的目的都包括为了实现个人的`价值、理想。然而,除此共同目的之外,有些中国学生的另一目的是为了父母甚至是教师而读书。为了报答父母的养育之恩,为了不负某个教师的期望而日日苦读。这就是学习目的中的“指向自我的学习目的,指向社会的学习目的”以及我国学生具有的“指向他人的学习目的”[2]。
3.学习条件的差别
国外高校基本上每个教室都配有多台电脑,无线网络覆盖面广,学习者均可免费使用。图书、电子文献等资源都可以随意使用。国内的高校配套设施相比较国外来说要落后一些,再加上学生众多,因而“僧多肉少”的局面时有发生。除此之外,在中外学生的居住环境方面,我国的大学一般都会让留学生单独居住,住宿环境安静舒适;而我国学生人数众多,通常都是统一安排住宿,这样一来学生想要把宿舍当作书房来学习并养成良好的宿舍自修习惯就变得很困难。
二十年后,正在美国搞科研的我,回到了家乡——修水县。家乡的每条马路两旁都种上了桂花树,站在高楼放眼望去,形成了一片片“小树林”。
回到阔别已久的老河口,当然要先去母亲河——修江河那里啦!
来到马家州公园,那里鸟语花香,绿树成荫,那里的空气格外清新,让人忍不住多吸几口,树木长得很高大了,因此,只要在滨江公园范围内,都感觉不到一丝热意,下了台阶,一股海腥味扑鼻而来,汉江河中小鱼不时跃出水面,还有一些小鱼躲在水底吹泡泡;有一些海藻在水面上漂浮着,使水更加青绿,不知不觉中,我走到了尽头,那里有许多孩子在捡垃圾,他们一个个挥汗如雨,累的气喘吁吁,可他们一点也不在乎,不到一会他们就捡完了,这些孩子真配得上“环保小卫士”这个称号。
连小孩子都可以成为一名合格的环保小卫士,而许多成人却不能,真让人汗颜!
为了我们的家园更美好,争做环保小卫士!
