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 Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What’s more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.

叮铃铃…叮铃铃…下课铃响了,老师给我们布置了一个作业:选择你最擅长做的事,如果选择画画,最好在电脑上画,要根据一段文字,来选择你要画什么,如果轮到你上台,你要配上那段解说词……来展现出你浓浓的思乡情,那一天我会让同学们轮流上台表演。开始,刚听了这个作业,心里感到无比紧张。
后来,我一想,其实也没有多么难。回到家我就开始做这个作业了。我回家想了想我最擅长的事,不就是画画吗?我在心里想老师的话,我要在电脑上画,我打开电脑,打开画图软件,在手机上搜了一段关于思乡的文字,根据那段文字画了起来。可是我画了又画,发现我用这个画图软件,根本画不好画?我返回到了电脑主页,心里特别烦躁,突然间我在电脑上看见了一个名叫“触漫”的'软件,我根据以前使用这个软件的记忆,思考了一下,想到了,我可以用这里的人物、背景一结合不就可以画出一幅完美的画了吗?我小小的心充满了期待。我从背景库里找啊,找啊,点点这个,又点点那个,最终我找到了合适的背景,现在我感觉快要完成了,突然我又想到,光有背景没有人物可不行啊!我又急急忙忙的制作起人物来。一滴滴汗珠落在我的腮边、手背,我心里默默想,只要能画出一幅美丽的图画,怎样的辛苦都值得了。啊!我的画终于画好了。我拿起手机看看那段文字,又一想老师说的那小句话“要配上解说词”。
啊!我怎么忘记这个最重要的事啦!我搜的那段文字不就是我的解说词吗?还要背过,太难了!我把搜的那段解说词抄在纸上,这样应该会好背点。我结合着意思背,我读了一遍又一遍,第一次试背时,我只背了两个字就背不过了,哎!我有点想放弃了,可是不知道是什么一股力量在推着我,让我前进。我又读了好几遍,经历了无数次的失败,最终我背过了。到我上台时,我都不知道为什么,我不紧张了,而且背的那么熟。
这一次上台使我明白了:只要努力,就会带来好的结果,如果经历到不好的事,就轻言放弃,那是不行的,俞是那样,我们就要俞努力,最终会有一个非常好的结果与你握手。
猫到森林中捕鸟,碰到一只猫头鹰。猫头鹰问道:“亲爱的.猫,你到哪儿去啊?”“我去森林里捕鸟。”猫答道。“啊,我的小花猫,你可千万别伤害我的小孩子!”“你的孩子究竟是什么样的?这个可得让我知道。”“我的孩子呀。长得最最美丽。”“知道啦!”猫自管地去打猎了,它从一处矮树丛窜到另一处矮树丛,鸟巢里尽是些美丽的小鸟。直到第三处灌木丛里,它才看到一群长得非常难看的小鸟。于是,猫就把它们统统吞吃了。小花猫美美地吃了一顿后,便回家了,路上。它又遇到那只猫头鹰。“你没有伤害我的孩子吧?”“那里话!我只是吃了那些长得最丑的。”猫头鹰回到家里,它只见到一只空空的鸟巢。

Father's Day
Yesterday was Father's Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn't remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I
got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.
What a wonderful surprise!
