    没事吹水而已

        今天上课很累,不过去玩了一下学院的自动贩卖机,60P买了一杯茶,很神奇,虽然有些贵,不过重要的是看看这个机器怎么工作啊,嗯,这里的机器都很神奇,能冲咖啡,茶,还有加糖不加糖,加奶不加奶,还有Extra SugarExtra White的,还有蔬菜汤什么的,很好很好,怎么在中国没见这么神奇的东西呢?

        还有最后一个星期的课,然后是Presentation,然后就放假了……第一学期,就这样快结束啦,我没什么奢望,我就期望我的论文能通过就好了。

    Birmingham Trip

       今天去了伯明翰,算是第一次去英格兰南部的城市,坐了差不多3个小时才到。今天去了International Convention Centre, 博物馆和画馆,坐船在运河上走,还有去了Christmas Market,挺不错的……伯明翰的口音不是很好听,正如BBC的一份Poll的结果一样。……While Asian, Liverpool and Birmingham accents were all deemed both unpleasant to listen to and lacking in social status.

        今天,Modern English Language的语法Section终于上完了,自己以前不是很喜欢语法,到现在觉得语法还是挺好玩的,至少比在中国上的课要好玩。

        语法呢,我们讲了Introduction, Noun Phrases, Verb Phrase and Modality, Clause Elements, Transitivity,如果你们感兴趣可以一起来讨论哈。

        结果今天中午碰到个老师,她说昨天你们怎么没去听本科生的课,我们都以为这只是个Optional或者Additional of our module的,结果没想到她那么认真。郁闷……今天上完Dialectology and Sociolinguistics以后我们就去听她的课,本科生看起来很喜欢玩,没想到他们也在学语法,哎……结果大部分讲的我们都学过的啊,Subject, Verb, Object, Adverbial, Complement, Transitive Verbs, Intransitive Verbs……几乎就在讲这些……真不知道她为什么那么认真。我们的结论是:她觉得是个Permission,我们必须去听课,结果误会了,一个很严的老师,有点可怕……我第一个学期的论文已经被她整得我很惨了,还好第二学期跟了个很好的老师……

    Homesickness

      Actually I don’t know whether I am homesick or not. I think I try to adapt my new life here and everything is OK till now.

      However, at night before I sleep, the dark room reminds me of my undergraduate life, my hometown, and my 彼女(かのじょ).

      Class will be over in three weeks and the Christmas holiday comes. I hope I can try my best to finish my essays earlier. Therefore I will have time to travel. Hope everything goes smooth here, especially my essays and dissertation.

    A good seminar

      Today I have got a fascinating class of Research Methods with Professor Upton. We discuss the topic of the varieties of English after reading a book named The Stories of English written by David Crystal, a master of English language.

      Questions raise here is about the concept of Standard English and nonstandard English. English has become a global language people used to communicate. What exactly is a kind of Standard English? Say for example, grammatically do you think these sentences are standard or not?

      Give it to me.

      Give me it.

      Give it me.

      (Here you can have your ideas).

      The extract of Crystal is about the use of Standard English and nonstandard English in literature. English is now used widely, what do you think English can gain its status, politically or the language itself? Do you think English would decline (You can also have your ideas here)?

      The use of nonstandard English in English gives us a point of view of English using. What do you think this phenomenon? Is it good or bad for the use of nonstandard English in literature or in our daily life?

      Here, I present so many questions. I am going to give you my second topic of discussion in this weekend and actually these questions are going to be included? I am very glad you can give your point of views and share with everyone using this forum.

      In fact, we had a wonderful discussion in this seminar. This was the best class I had attended during my study in Leeds. I hope I can have this good experience in future discussion. Brilliant.

    日语基本忘光了

     

        今 真夜中だ。 日本語を だんだん 忘れた。 僕は 日本語を 使いてみて 日記を書いた。

      第一学期の授業は そろそろ 終わる。 イギリスの生活に 順応しまた。 でも 宿題は いっぱいだよ。 クリスマスの休みは 論文を書きたくない。 今 時間があったら 論文を書きたい。 それから クリスマスの間は 遊びのことができる。

      あの あの この日記、僕の日本語。。。 話したくない。
