Autobiography

Thanks God, who created language and Benjamin Franklin, who

created the “Autography” and “ lighting rod “ for human being,

we can live more closely than ever before and share our feelings &

experiences each other more freely, easily. And for me, I got this name,

Ben, following after him 10 years ago.

The Second Day

This is the second day of my new life in my new world. Last day, all things had been gone wrong as the worst way they could. Airlines could be late, package lug could be broken, head could be ache almost. But I still feel exciting totally. It is my first trip going abroad, and my first trip going by air. After 30hours trip without sleeping, nevertheless I was totally enjoying my exciting adventure yesterday.

I took a dell lap with me. On the first day, I bought an IP card for telephone, and an electronic source line for Pc. The lap can work very well in new world, using 110v source. Unfortunately, I could not connect my lap to host’s cable. How stupid I am. After thousands pathetic stabs, I given up at last. I took on my overcoat, and just went outside to attempt the unknown exotic world.

There is a small Internet bar just around the corner. The owner is a Chinese lady, with a very young daughter . I do not know why it appears in this Portugal district. The fee for service is 2 bucks per hour,

我发现英语的精华是tempo。我一下飞机就把过去学的语法和词汇忘得一干二净。我现在上大街说话，脑子 里想的都是节奏。就像有个架子鼓在敲一样。有时候连我自己都不知道说的是什么。比如，会在说话时， 会有一个完全没关系的单词冒出来在句子里；有时为了凑什么韵或者什么节奏，会编一个完全没有的词 从嘴里说出来，而大脑根本不知道什么意思。嘴和脑子完全脱钩了。嘴里说的很快很快，而大脑根本不 知道嘴在说什么。但嘴说的很快，虽然错，速度和节奏是完全正常的英语。我如果能保持这样瞎说的感 觉，可能很快就会掌握英语了。 我不去什么语言班，我要在大街上学大街英语。

现在学说英语，有点像令狐冲那时候学独孤九剑，必须能在说话的时候把语法规则完全忘掉，才会感觉 能自如说出英语。现在其他方面grammer都可以忘掉了，只有时态问题还忘不了。经常在说话时还想什么 时态，而且越是想越是出错，经常过去时和现在时混着用，让我很懊恼。

现在说英语的主要麻烦就是时态问题，老在脑子里比较不同时态，应该用什么。老把过去时和现在时混 用。谁有关于grammer的简单书，贴出来给我看看,尤其是关于时态的规则。

一夜之间性格发上巨大改变。我现在和过去最大的变化，就是《连环套》里面说窦尔墩的那句话：”哎吆
喂，你怎么现在改成不要脸啦! ”  我现在的特点就是不要脸, 什么都不在乎了, 独闯世界了.

伟大的革命导师，无产阶级革命家，理论家孟轲教导我们说：入国问禁，入乡随俗。

德不孤，必有邻

四海之内，皆兄弟也

有井水处，皆可歌柳词

心安处即是家

In Public Community Center, I met a Beijingneeze. We talked a lot, in Chinese. That’s the first time I speak Chinese so much. 关于北京，关于公主坟，玉渊潭，海军大院，七一小学。问姓惊初起，称名忆旧容。 在国内好象都没有和谁谈这么多关于北京的往事。

Then，talked with a guy from fomer-USSR. I don’t know the name of the country. He told me is between Poland and Russia.

晚上去看房子，晚上10点才往回走。第一次坐TTC, 晚上，还要倒车，结果早下了两站，迷迷糊糊走，晚 上12点才到住处。半夜走路还真有点怵，尤其在little Italian，今天是周末，又让我长见识了.门口这几条 街晚上还比较清静, Portugal 就唱唱歌，跳跳拉丁舞什么的，比起黑人来就算文明人了。
