Road of IELTS
First of all I wanna introduce the course I had before the exam since the latter January. The course was taken place in Longre XUJIAHUI division. As known in China, the most famous organization that offer a English test pre-course to all either for the improvement or for going abroad is the New Oriental. The reason I took the course in Longre instead of New Oriental is the well-know reputation of the IELTS course. A pre-test which have to be done by every participants distinguishes higher level class from basic one. Participant who passed the pre-test will get a guaranteed score, if you fail to do so, you have the right to have the same course again (which i think is unnecessary). There will be at most 25 students in each class. The one I took is 6.5-score-class which took place every weekend-reading and writing on Saturday, speaking and listening on Sunday. ##CONTINUE##
The only foreign teacher Roberta G. Sherman, an American wringkly, took charge of the speaking lesson. I like this woman, however don't approve of the way she taught. She's so much windbaggary. Turning to the reading & writing professor Wang Defu, quite admiring, I like the way he gives the lesson, the tags, the gestures and even the craps... He had been in Manila for five years as a postgraduate(3 years maybe, the rest time a worker? probably) and in Australia for three years. The listening teacher is a young girl, be likely to be a little older than me, who gave me some good chinese style suggestions, like the website that can offer us help, like the synonyms and antonyms... To be highlighted, the website with a BBS that offers me big help - www.3gbbs.com.
I'm have an urge to expatiate on the website I mentioned above for the reward of its help. This website can satisfy all your demands on IELTS whatever you are Academic or General. It's a famous or I can consider it as the most famous website of the kindred. Because of the boardmaster of the bbs in this website, they offer the JiJing or item bank. You can download free informations there like CAMBRIDGE IELTS 1-5 in PDF form and MP3. That's quite helpful to me. You can test yourself with all these staffs. And after the exam I discuss with other testers on web and also with sharing the feelings and complains. The most important thing is that we will share the speaking topics (though I prepared the useless ones :( ). Here I strongly recommend a famous web THIEF www.51ielts.com . This website steal the usefull productions from the 3gbbs and release on their own with the damn copyright. What an ironic behavior!
Unluckly, I didn't use the item bank, and what's more three out of four listening sections and all three reading sections are new ones :( , the reverse is true on the exam on April 14th...
The following are the memorised exam subjects, for your reference. (published on 3Gbbs)

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE
"Imagine an electronic page for each species of organism on Earth, available everywhere by single access on command." - Edward O. Wilson
Comprehensive, collaborative, ever-growing, and personalized, the Encyclopedia of Life is an ecosystem of websites that makes all key information about life on Earth accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. Our goal is to create a constantly evolving encyclopedia that lives on the Internet, with contributions from scientists and amateurs alike. To transform the science of biology, and inspire a new generation of scientists, by aggregating all known data about every living species. And ultimately, to increase our collective understanding of life on Earth, and safeguard the richest possible spectrum of biodiversity. ##CONTINUE##
收录人们已知地球全部物种全部信息的网站第一批网页已经完成
全球科学家打算开展一个规模宏大的计划——将地球上所有已知的180万个物种的知识汇编成一本百科全书,并且全部上传到互联网上,向全世界的人免费开放。 整个项目将耗资1亿美元以上。9日,全球顶尖的几家科研机构和大学在美国华盛顿对外发布了这一计划,同时,这本大型“百科全书”的首批信息也被公开。 耗时10年共有3亿页 据报道,这一计划被称为“生命百科全书”,内容将包括每一个物种的描述、照片、地图、录像、音频以及业余爱好者的观测成果,还包括关于该物种的完整基因组 和科学研究论文的网页链接。据悉,编好整本“百科全书”需要10年。 如果“生命百科全书”计划如期完成,这本百科全书一共将有3亿页。如果把这些书页一张接一张地连起来,可以长达83720公里,这足以沿着赤道绕地球两 圈。 将向公众免费开放 目前,美国已经有两家在科学界出名的基金会(麦克阿瑟基金会和斯隆基金会)提供了1250万美元支持计划头两年半的工作,不过这些工作成果都将向每个人免 费开放。该计划的负责人詹姆斯·爱德华兹表示:“这是一个交互式的动物园。”爱德华兹目前正在参与一项全球生物多样化信息系统的运作。 百科全书中的内容深度和难度可以调整,因此能够为普通的学童或者专门的研究者提供有用、易懂的资料。此外,该计划还强调了“公民科学家”的概念,每个人都 可以将自己的观测成果、观点添加到百科全书的旁页中。而物种的关键细节描述以及科研部分则将由专家审查后进行汇编。 “生命百科”项目主席、纽约洛克菲洛大学教授杰西·阿苏贝尔表示,这个百科全书的目标是向所有人传递物种知识。“生命百科”编写完成后将由一个25人到 35人的团队负责维护。 这部免费百科全书将主要关注动物、植物、菌类,未来还将增加微生物。科学家还表示,只要发现了新物种,相关资料当天就能被添加到“百科全书”中。据专家估 计,地球上实际约有800万个物种,但是目前只有不到四分之一的物种被鉴别和命名。此外,那些已经绝种的物种,包括恐龙等生物化石,都可以在书中查阅到。 在该项目的演示网页上(www.eol.org),已经可以看到有关北极熊、稻米等物种的词条。 9日,美国史密森学会代理秘书长克里斯蒂安·桑帕对外展示了关于北极熊的书页样本,其中包括了北极熊的照片、分布地图、研究成果以及分子生物学、遗传学、 繁殖期间所食食物等数据。其他物种的资料也将按照类似的结构进行汇编。(本报综合报道)

諸惡莫作
這四個字是在靜安寺拍的,每次路過靜安寺,都會有想進去的欲望,卻每次都覺得不是專程去的,怕有心不誠之嫌,總是作罷。然而每次taxi經過,如若有相機在手,總是拍上那么一張,佛語似乎總是那么有警示作用。這四個字,做起來還真是難度不小,為了達成自己的欲望,人往往會有作惡的想法,有時候能壓下去,但是欲望大到一定程度就無法壓抑了。突然想到了一個故事,有人對一堆情侶們說,我拿一千元買你們的愛情,給你一千,就放棄你們之間的愛情,大家都嗤之以鼻,但是隨著金額的上漲,一萬,十萬,百萬,千萬……慢慢的就開始有人猶豫了,放棄了,這就是人的欲望。
有人說過,我欲望太強,什么都想要得到,什么都想得到最好的,的確,沒錯,我似乎就是如此一個人,于是乎,這四個字對于我來說是不是更加難了呢。
最近發生的事情,有警示,有勾起我欲望的東西,就好比昨天的那個錢夾,好比今天的那副在手邊的太陽眼鏡,似乎是佛在考驗我?那么我算經受住考驗了么?
似乎我該有個宗教了,不得如此放縱。
神啊,救救我!

拾金不昧也是件难事
随后,在一堆IKEA东西的遮挡下,我开始翻那个钱夹。真是有点小偷的心理,很变态的感觉,有负罪感,但是又不是那样强烈,有兴奋感,但是又觉得很莫名。
钱夹里面没多少钱,300,但是身份证,信用卡,借书卡,贷记卡以及其他的VIP卡俱全,是个还算漂亮的女人,比我年纪大,或许还是一个学生。我只是如此粗略的猜测着。
##CONTINUE##
下车后,我跟老妈说了一下钱夹的含金量,然后说,我觉得还是还给人家吧。说这句话的时候,我也觉得自己有点道貌岸然,似乎是一种很伪装的在说,但是似乎又是一种很发自内心的想法。老妈似乎也有些犹豫,我明白她为什么会如此,我也知道自己心里是怎么想的。
最后还是给她打了电话,还多亏她钱包里面有一张快递的收条(各位记住哦,以后钱夹里面要留下自己的联系方式),她似乎没有我想象的那样激动,但是还是听得出非常高兴,她说要马上来我家拿取,我也答应把地址发给她。
这时老妈说了句话,让我一惊,不会是骗子吧!
对哦,我突然想到了几年前在南京东路上,有人扔了一沓百元大钞在我面前,我看了看面无表情的走了,晚上就看到报道说有人用这种扔钱然后分赃的方式骗钱……
对啊,不会是片子吧!我一个人在厕所里面乱想,应该不是吧,不然不会卡啊,身份证什么的一起给我吧,再说……唉,我也不知道为什么,就是觉得不是骗子。
钱包送到她手里的时候,她很开心,还拿出来100想要酬谢,我还是没要,如果想要就根本不还了,还能刷刷她的卡啊什么的……(我的邪恶一面出来了)
反正我是好人做到底了,积累点人品吧,为了我的考试……
对了,星运没错,我确实近期没有财运………

上海代表了一种落寞的奢华
游荡在街头,看着高楼林立,有多少人会去抬头看看那楼顶,恐怕只有孩子工作中的人有多少仔细看过自己的办公楼,身在其中,未必乐在其中
上海代表了一种奢华,或许只是一种落寞的奢华,或许奢华必定是落寞的
奢华只属于少数人

上海最著名的南京路上拍摄到的一景
只是觉得这些名称念出来真的很熟悉,但是仔细一看……
GIORGIO ARMANIErmenegildo Zegna
Prada
Gianni versace
或许这些才是他们的原身
在外行人眼里,如此李鬼造就上海的奢华
在内行人眼里,如此李鬼成就了上海的落寞虚荣
这似乎不应该属于上海,但是如此一斑确实可见其海派文化
上海最繁华的地方不是上海最奢华的地点Plaza 66或许也只是我等凡人所知道的上海比较奢华之处
品牌聚集区,却鲜有人能够大包小包开心购物
window shopping成为其中一种时尚
对了我想起来前两天在那边附近寻找发Fax的地点
最后复印2张,市内传真5张,花了我51大洋
这就是上海的奢华成就我这个平常人的落寞……
