Thinking about presentation.


Yesterday, I went to the Canary Wharf Jazz Festival, it hold in the small size square park, but still can’t stop people’s immense passion. With extremity gorgeous band, I enjoyed whole afternoon to lie in the lawn.

I have been researching for the festival event for 3 years, any of these, it’s a really inspiring task to do. From these years, I attend many kinds of festivals by myself, spent lots of time, lots of money, lots of energy to seeing about festival. Every time I would ask the sentiment from my accompanier when end of festival, to conclude the positive and negative experiences. Being staff in festival as volunteer before, I got some advantaged experience about operation. Meanwhile, I also acquaint myself with marketing side. Just as from big plan of festival to tiny thing as care about actress’s feeling.

Do the presentation this time, although I haven’t attend the London Jazz festival yet, but before this, I read a lot about this festival materials on magazine or online. And I was observed with information from official website and thinking deeply about people’s general feedback. According to myself experience, there were not so much different between these jazz festivals, so that I try my best to do this presentation for London Jazz Festival as a real. If these point would going to work, maybe one day, it probably to improve the festival event mostly.

Play up for presentation.


For presentation alone, I have to do lots of pre-work by myself, but worth it, why not? I was interested about music festival in UK for such a long time. I heard much in radio and read lots in magazine about types of festival in United Kingdom. Now I can visit and attend it really. How wonderful it was. I do this presentation not for assignment but learn a handle module for myself. I know it’s not a easy work researching in English way, but surprising thing is, by lasting 7 weeks language study, I felt thinking, speaking and writing in English logic more naturally than before. When I was writing reflective diary, I can type the sentence with what I thinking directly, no longer to type Chinese first then translate to English. I should play up with continuing presentation and final report.

To be continue.


When finished block one pre-sessional language course, I already for next challenging block two. We had a class trip at the end of block one and visited Design museum, it’s about contemporary arts. There have lots of conceptual arts and amazing display comes as a surprise. To be honest, I almost never been to gallery before and know nothing about painting arts. But this time, I found some interesting things apparently. Meanwhile, I have got to visit gallery again, the theme named Walking in my mind in Southbank centre, also fantastic.

To sum up the outcome of block one, I got the progress of speaking and writing, especially vocabulary. By this token, the native language atmosphere is the most important factor in study English. Life is continuing and I tasted the pleasure about studying in London. I hope everything can make sense also make great efforts to me in the future.

Views of 'The way of seeing'.

Indian mystic said: "There is a way which is supremely effective. Just look at yourself as you are, see yourself as you are, accept yourself as you are, and go ever deeper into what you are. “I watched an advertising lesson video in class Last Friday; it is a good way to explore the deeper meaning of advertising. This video demonstrated the history and development of advertise in human social. It exerts plenty of vivid instance, also shows the effect by contrast.

Life is defined differently and everybody have their own view about life. To most of people, life represents the way they live. For those living in poverty, life could be uneasy and struggling. While to those born with a golden spoon, life could be a lot of fun. People’s life like a state which is predeterminate. But into advertise menu, people can get what they want to get, and also can dreaming about what they dreaming about. Unfair can turns to fair. So that why advertise such influenced people’s lifestyle and social development.

For everything I enjoy.


Last Friday, I finished my first English presentation. To be honest, I felt nervous to speak in front of people even if I did presentation so many times before, course I was unconfident about my oral English. But with my good team, I tried my best to finish this presentation. Then I feel relax during this process and it’s not difficult than I ever thought. Even better, for sure. This is an important process means doing exercise. That’s why we were going to progress.

An unforgettable concert in Barbican.


Last night, I visited the Barbican culture centre and saw a fantastic Jazz show. The show invited three splendid Jazz bands. Especially the second pianist who came from Japan named Hiromi, seems like little girl just aged 20. But all of audience in the theater were shock by her rapid figures and extemporize playing. It quite silence when she was playing in the stage. And end of the performance, audience were standing from seats and applauding for a very long time. Last musician is an attractive woman whom plays saxophone, perfect cooperated with her band and give us a wonderful night encore.

I had saw large numbers of concerts in China, but there’s less about Jazz music. It was feeling bran-new about music journey in London. First-rank musicians and enjoyable atmosphere theater gains me unforgettable memory. I’d like to know more about music and arts here to inspiring my inspiration.

Concern with education thinking.


The process of growing up, we were being educated every day. People can be diversifying in the world. Someone is a good person who everyone likes; also someone cannot be accepted by others. The standard between these situations are hardly to be standardization.

In my opinion, humanistic education is more important than knowledge education. There’s a big difference between western country and China. For example, when I walk street in UK, kids go to school by themselves independently, however, almost parents will escorted children to school in China. They are not as much as independently as the western children. It was due to the System of education.

There has various feature of humanistic cultivation that we should be reference. Such like good character, optimistic thinking, correctly behavior, ability of self-support, ability of study initiatively, own taste of lifestyle.

But anyway, you can be yourself whatever you like, Just be immersing to the glorious world.

Have been studying music management for 4 years in my college, it changed me hugely. It’s cause me to think about how to bring the best arts product to consumer. I becoming actively, try to communicate with everyone who loves arts. I hope to do much more work for great arts production and success in this blossom arts market.

I have also done some concert and chamber in my college music hall. Including connected with musicians, found sponsorships and designed concert poster and playbill etc. It’s a kind of work to hardly testing myself. Finally, at the moment that I successfully ending my concert, I decided to go aboard for broaden my horizon unhesitatingly. That’s why I have been here today. I hold a dream that one day I can produce the excellent concert for audience. I would be able to pursue a career in this field and help advance communication between China and other countries, and bring the culture of Chinese music to the world and to nourish the coalescence of foreign and Chinese.

Believe nothing is impossible. What you get is only what you get, what you do with what you get, and then you are going to touch the success and hold it. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives. When you hold what you had and know what you are going to do with your patient and perseverance, you are stronger than ever you were in that moment.

First Impression of London


When I recall the first impression of London, a feeling called ‘amazing’ comes to my mind.

Since got off the flight, I was shocked by many interesting things. The queen’s doves were walking on the street leisurely without fear. The red bus in London was fascinating to me. Everything was in wonderful colors, just like walking through the Disneyland. There is a place where can set me free from inmost heart. You can be yourself completely relaxed without feeling nervous.

Walking on the street for saving transportation fees frequently, Surprisingly, I was full of energy all the time and did not feel tired at all. Many times I uplifted the camera; however, what I wanted to record was not just scenes but a sort of sense in my heart. So I pressed the shutter when I feel excited.

Sainsbury’s desert has really good taste, and London-papers are free on kurbside, our college looks like arts gallery, while the BBC broadcast can be extremely fantastic.

The international friends broad my horizon when we communicate with each other, in very short time I can gain a lot of multicultural information. In addition, the people show absolute confidence in here. Everyone including old ladies dress up beautifully. Others won’t despise you when you wear clothes casually. This is a comprehensively harmonious city.

Especially, this is the first time I can totally arrange my life for every tiny thing. The house I rent was laid out following all my imagination. Before arrived London, I told myself to be braver and stronger. But later I don’t feel as much anxious as I have ever thought.

The moistly endless summer in UK can easily arouse tender emotions. London is a city that you can be yourself. It's my real happiness in here. It will be better and better forwards, Just smiling for trust and cheer.
