Kitchen Table
       There is a traditional quote that the warm family cannot exist with out a warm kitchen table in China. I believe that this quote also has different expressions in different countries. It is not difficult to find that human cannot live alone. The warm family should have a kitchen table where family members can share their sadness and happiness. To my personal life, I really like the big round table because when we have dinner, I can see every people’s face. Why the big round table is important to me? As the time flies, I find that some people may disappear for different reasons, and you cannot have dinner with them. So, every time no matter is that I have dinner with my family or I have dinner with my friends, I would choose a round table; I want to see everyone’s face so that it is convenient for me memorize. I still remember the first time I invited my girlfriend to have dinner with parents two years ago. All the foods in the dinner were my girlfriend’s favor. Every time my parents asked her some questions, her face turned red and I would help her to answer my parents. We had a happy time in that night. The kitchen table not only is the place that can give people happiness, but also will leave some sadness in people’s mind. It was the last time I had a dinner with my family in my hometown before I came to Chicago. My grandma said that she was unwilling that I leave her from the long distance. At last, I find that every meeting or every dinner with some people. It might happen that it will be the last chance. Happiness and sadness are the impression of the kitchen table in my mind. It is a safe place to recall and record my life details.

SONG MEMORY

        It is my one of my most favorite English Songs. I still remembered my first time to listen this song. It was a day I started do the summer-part-time job in Shen Zhen which is a international city in China. I worked in the Happy Valley where is a amusement park. And then, I was sent to in charge of checking the ticket. The music kept repeating during my working time. In my feelings, I thought the hot summer was cooler because of the music. It was a though job that I need to face many people a day. What’s more, I helped them to check the tickets and answered the questions from the visitors. From then on, every time I felt stressful or nervous and I would listen to this song. Even though the song talked about the feelings like lonely and missing, the rhythmic is so beautiful.
