about me (draft 2)

My name is Liu Jiahao. My English name is Storm. Maybe it sounds very strange but I like it very much. I come from Shijiashuang which is a very important part of China. It is not only a business city but also beautiful. There are seven people in my family. So I think it is happier than other families. I love my family. Now, I miss my family very much…
I have a lot of hobbies. For example, in my free time I always play basketball with my friends and I like watching Sports TV too. Sport is good for my health. I wish everybody could join us then we could have a match. I think it would be very exciting. I am also good at table tennis. When I was a child my father and I played it all time and I won a match which was hold by my school. I like rugby, too, but I just watch it on TV. I want to play it, so I hope someone can teach me.
I have been living here for two months. At the beginning, I felt very lonely, so I would call my family and friends. But now, I have made a lot of friends in New Zealand. They are friendly and help me a lots. I want to finish my language study quickly; so I must spend more time on studying. My spoken English is poor and my grammar is also not good, so how to improve these two parts is a big problem. I will try my best to study. I wish I could get a good result in the final exam.

movie review

I saw a lot of films during holiday. The best one of DVDs was “The Fantasy 4”. It is a fantasy and Sci-Fi movie. This plot is about 4 super heroes’ DNA mutant.
One day, 5 space scientists went to space to make a study of the strange cloud. However, the cloud appears earlier than they thought, exploded and covered the spaceship when they were on the board. After that, they became super heroes but one man who is the boss of this project had been a bad superman, because he did not want anybody to know that the project is a failure. For this reason, while the super heroes were helping people who need rescues, he always interrupted them. The bad superman has to fight with 4 super heroes, so he needed more power. For getting power, he absorbed it from electricity. Although he had strong power, the 4 super heroes win and the bad superman dies.
Even though I watched this movie with English subtitles, I doubted whether understood it at all, because many quite topic specific words were used. Although I am not good at English, I enjoyed this movie. The plots are exciting and unusual, the setting is realistic and the acting was average. For these reasons, I would like to recommend it to my classmates.

Lecture summary

The lecture on 27 March talked about the Student Funding. I think it is very helpful for the student and it also mentioned about the definition of Student Funding, student allowance, funding page, Unitec website, job search, personal cash-flow and the budget plan. On the other hand, this lecture gave us a structure of Student Funding and how it helps students with their lives. For instance, it can help students for searching jobs. It also can help students with their tuition fees. In “the budget plan” section, the lecture concerned how the Student Funding helps us with our arrangement for banking systems, so it is very useful for the students saving money. In the end, the lecturer told us the Student Funding is very happy to help us to solute our problems.
