6.The Pursuit of Happiness

The Pursuit of Happiness is a 2006 American biographical film about the on and off-homeless salesman-turned-stockbroker Chris Gardner.

Gardner and his son

Chris Gardner is a bright and talented, but marginally employed salesman. Struggling to make ends meet, Gardner finds himself and his five-year-old son evicted from their San Francisco apartment with nowhere to go. When Gardner lands an internship at a prestigious stock brokerage firm, he and his son endure many hardships, including living in shelters, in pursuit of his dream of a better life for the two of them. Finally he succeeded.

I was fortunate to see this movie and really enjoyed it. I like these words said by Chris Gardner:

You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves,they wanna tell you you can't do it.If you want something, go get it. Period.

There is an I in "happiness",There is no Y in "happiness",It's an I

The very short stage of my life is called happiness

This film makes me think about happiness. Everyone wants to be happy. But what is happiness? Happiness is what we feel in life. Compared to people in wars, we're happy because we're living, Compared to people who are starving, we're happy because we have enough food. Compared to people in prison, we're happy because we have enough freedom to do things we want. Compared to people who are very old, we're happy because we have time to pursue our dreams. Happiness is the feeling that we love this world, and the world loves us.

5.Those unforgettable memories

Movies have been along with us since childhood. We all have some beautiful images in our memory. Below are three animated films which you may be familiar with.

 Calabash Brother

Legend has it that two goblins were jailed in the Calabash Mountains, a scorpion and a snake. A pangolin accidentally hit wore cave, and the two goblins had escaped. An old man, under the guidance of the pangolin, got the magic gourd seeds, from red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, to violet, totally seven large calabashes. The gourds matured in the land and became little boys, with different powers. They can't wait to go and fight with the goblins one after another, but all failed. Finally the seven Calabash brothers came together and defeated the enemy in the. Eventually they became a seven-color-mountain and put the monsters down forever.

Astron Boy

Astro Boy is a powerful robot created by the head of the Ministry of Science, Doctor Tenma, to replace his son Tobio, who died in a car accident. Astro was gifted with superior powers and skills, as well as the ability to experience human emotions.He is shown fighting crime, evil, and injustice. Most of his enemies were robot-hating humans, robots gone berserk, or alien invaders. Almost every story included a battle involving Astro and other robots.



Lion King

A young lion prince, Simba, was born in Africa, thus making his uncle Scar the second in line to the throne. Scar plotted with the hyenas to kill King Mufasa and Prince Simba, thus making himself King. The King was killed and Simba was led to believe by Scar that it had been his fault, and so he fled the kingdom in shame. After years of exile, a childhood friend runs into him by accident, and persuaded him to take his responsibility. He returned home and overthrew his uncle, claimed the kingdom as his own, thus completing the "Circle of Life". 
Although I am no longer a little boy, these films are still worth cherishing. Whenever coming across these pictures, I will think of time in my childhood. So what is your memory of childhood? Did you like these films as a boy or girl? 

4.Brief introduction of electronic commerce



Online shopping

With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace in our life. Here we can buy almost everything we need. We don't have to waste our energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the goods we like. All we need to do is to sit in front of our computers and click the mouses. 
Online shopping is a kind of electronic commerce, which is commonly known as e-commerce. It consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. Generally it has three important modes. 

Electronic commerce that is conducted between businesses is referred to as Business-to-business or B2B. B2B can be open to all interested parties or limited to specific, pre-qualified participants.

Business that sells products or provides services to end-user consumers is referred to as Business-to-customers or B2C. While business-to-consumer activity exists both online and offline, the acronym B2C has primarily been used to describe the online variety.

Electronic commerce involves the electronically facilitated transactions between consumers through some third party is referred to Consumer-to-consumer or C2C. A common example is the online auction, in which a consumer posts an item for sale and other consumers bid to purchase it; the third party generally charges a flat fee or commission.



Supermarket

 Buyers are now looking for the best deals and may purchase goods from all over the world. With the Internet, the globalization of commerce has arrived, and both consumers and corporations have more choices to address their personal and corporate purchasing requirements.

As a college student, I am interested in online shopping, also e-commerce. It has a bright future and will bring more convenience for us. What about you? Do you like to go shopping in the supermarket or on the internet?

3.A balanced diet

With the development of economy and the improvement of living standards, more and more nutritious foods containing high levels of protein, fat and calories have been introduced to our diet. As a result, fat people can be seen everywhere.



Keep a balanced diet



Being too fat may cause such fat related diseases as heart attack, hypertension, etc. Seeing that they are getting too fat, some people go on a diet that's too stringent or too lean in order to lose weight. Consequently, they suffer from other diseases such as anemia and malnutrition.

Some people eat to live, but there are others who live to eat. We are what we eat. To live a long and healthy life, we must learn to have a balanced diet. What is a balanced diet based on? A balanced diet is based on three basic principles from Internet: 1.Meeting the body’s calorie or energy requirements.2.Meeting nutritional requirements. 3.Eating a varied diet, which means eating foods from all the groups. A diet which includes meat, fish, vegetables and fruit is, of course, ideal. If you watch your diet, then you won't have to suffer the pain of going on a diet.



Having too much rich food all the time is no good, nor is it much good to have too simple a diet. We shouldn't go to either extreme. If we want to keep fit, we should have a balanced diet. Remember a well-balanced diet plus proper exercises can keep us healthy and energized all the time.

2.Music is a special gift

Warm, sad, happy, all feelings that feel in music are unparalleled. The life without music is like the winter without sunshine. How can we imagine that? Therefore, music is an important part of our life.



Music is voice of an angel

 Music goes deep into our hearts. Its melody touches our nerves. Sometimes it drives away our sadness. Sometimes it gets rid of our pressure. One person tends to be absorbed in music when he is alone. So music can beautify our life and add life temperaments.

Music is a kind of memory. Anybody has a lot of unforgettable memories in his life. But with the time flying, some of them are becoming no longer clear. But when the music you have ever heard in the past begins, those memories will emerge from your heart.

Music is just like a long river, which can flow in your heart and wash the dust away. Music is just like a bird, which can make you feel flying over the sky and set you free. Music is just like a lover, which can keep your company and drive the loneliness away.

Thanks to music-the special gift from God.

1.Dreams keep us going

start with a dream

The eyes are the portals of the inner self; the doorway to the soul. If you will look into someone's eyes you will either see the glossy reflection of light, the life of the soul, or you will see a dull non-reflective image of darkness. Eyes that reflect light are eyes that have the life of hope, the evidence of possible dreams.

Dreams are what keep us going when the pathways of life are tough. Dreams are the catalyst of futures yet to be. Dreams are dreamed before successes are ever realized. Because success never happens by accident. We accomplish, we pursue, we become as a result of what we have dreamed we can be.

However, some of us have deserted our dreams. Do you remember the time when you dreamed of being a scientist or an actor? With time going by, we leave our dreams behind, just to spend life blindly traveling the path of least existence. Thus without a plan, a direction, we don’t know where we are going, or when we shall arrive. Life becomes meaningless, lonely, empty and cold.  

So follow your dreams today. Don’t waste time on other things. Where are you going? Where would you like to be? Keep these in mind and search for the pathways that lead to your goals. Then you are on the way to success.

How to enjoy a movie

I am one of those people under the belief that a movie is a sacred thing. Not sacred as the cow to the Hindus, but it’s still a pretty special thing. So much work and money goes into making a movie, so it’s only fair to watch it with a certain amount of respect. Therefore, if you want to get the best movie experience, or just want to experience a movie like this film buff, here is how you do it.

1. Have the right crowd. If you are going to watch Spider-Man, invite your pro-Spider-Man friends. Don’t invite your friends that hate superhero films. Having the right crowd is essential to having the best film experience, as having the wrong crowd can lead to a room of people texting because they aren’t into the movie you chose.

Spider-man

2. Have the right food, whether it is a gourmet pasta dish or popcorn, can make the movie watching experience ever greater.

3. Sit in the right place. It is impossible to watch, let alone enjoy, a movie if you are uncomfortable. Whether it be on the couch, the floor, sitting up, or lying down, be comfortable before you press play. Otherwise, expect to end the two hours with back pain and no idea what the movie was about.

4. Have IMDB open. Whether it is having your iPhone by your side, or having your laptop open on the coffee table, have IMDB open. Because when you are watching a movie and recognize an actor but cannot remember his name it will drive you insane.
5. Read the trivia. You’ve finished the movie. Wahoo! However, the experience isn’t over yet. Go to websites like IMDB, EW, Total Film, and Oh Joy! are great places to find movie trivia and fun facts. Learning the little tidbits makes movies much more interesting.

And that is how you enjoy a movie the film buff way! Next time you watch a movie you can try these steps, maybe you will enjoy a movie like you never have before! By the way, do you have some good ideas about how to enjoy a movie?
