Religious Service

People from different regions have distinctive religions. I got a chance to attend religious service which was held by Nanjing Union Theological Seminary. It was the first time I came into contact with such sort of church filled with sense of saint, which made me a feel of respect and solemnity.

The sacred site is located at 390 Mochou Road. I arrived with my classmates on the afternoon of Dec.1. The beautiful name for the service was called “A Touch of Messiah”. As far as I know, the Messiah was a Christ, also a great religious lender who saves the world. Despite I just heard it from legend, it was still surrounded by mystery in my mind.

During the whole event, the hymn “Silent Night” left me deep impression. Following the fabulous lyric, I felt myself as one of the Christs praying for God. “Silent night! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar. Christ the Savior is born”. As you imagine, what a tremendous devotion of thousand of Christ was flowing into heaven. What a huge role the Savior plays as their reliant spirit support. In their eyes, they pray for lord Jesus as pray for peace, goodwill, making hearts rejoice and pure. It was Jesus that taught them to overcome hatred and evil, and enabled them to love one another. They devote themselves for Jesus as if we Chinese believe the existence of Buddhist. In fact, maybe those “Gods” live our hearts are fictions themselves, after all, on the other hand, they can work as a belief to inspire humans to go ahead, to strive for brightness.

Overall, we ought to show enough respect to these religious culture.

Go to a performance

On 2nd May want to Nanjing Olympic Centre to watch Vitas’s concert with my junior classmate Lee. I went there at 4 pm with my family; the concert didn’t finish until 8 o’clock.
The concert was really fantastic, and I enjoyed it very much. I became crazy about Vitas when I was a junior high school student. He is creative and inimitable because of his high voice; people call it dolphin’s sound. I admire him not because his unique caliber but also his inspiration.
As a Russian pop singer, composer, and fashion designer. He is most commonly known by his shortened first name, Vitas, or Витас in Russian. Much of his music is straightforward pop influenced by techno, and occasionally classical opera.
He has received much of his fame through Russian television and is planning to sign to entertainment labels in countries such as China, Korea, and Japan in order to expand to those markets. Vitas' 2000 video "Opera #2" has been forwarded frequently via the Internet which accounts for much of his worldwide recognition. Tour includes concerts in Russia, Romania and China. Vitas performed in Bucharest, Romania on 25 February. This concert was broadcast on romanian television networks
Overall, his performance always brings me a enjoyable sense and never tired of it. He has distinctive traits from others particularly due to his voice. I am willing to recommend you to get a chance to view.

volunteer experience

Further the classroom learning, to explore new areas need new work experience. Our school GCA provides all manners of volunteer work for choices that we could not only do contributions to the public,but also enjoy the opportunities of approaching this sophisticated and dynamic society. Leading Danish exchange students to visit around campus, teaching elementary school students, painting a stage backdrop for Fashion Show were all my precious experiences. I would rather say it's a brave attempt than only a piece of volunteer work.

Being a little guide for Danish students needs the greatest courage of all, so it became the most challenging task. At first, with a small talk, I learnt they could speak a fluent English, at least much better than me. I felt a bit confused- they also speak English as a kind of foreign language, how could they speak it so pretty well as if they were English native speakers? they told me English and Danish had many things in common that both languages belong to Latin words system. Unlike Chinese square words which completely differ from them. I thought it also solved my question why Chinese people have to regard basic grammar as the cornerstone and gateway of English learning. At the meantime, I explained to them the definite meaning of our school motto. As we reached our first destination- refectory and dormitory, unfortunately, it was not open that I was worried about whether it had affected Danish guys' moods. Actually, I noticed they were still wearing natural smiles which showed their dignified temperaments. After that, wandering across the playground to arrived at gym, I introduced some sports items we did in P.E classes such as Yoga. Sometimes there were always some language barriers formed when I Attempted to describe more complicated things, but they were conquered by my brevity later on.

Due to the remote-distance-journey in China, those Danish guys began to feel homesick spontaneously, so they just could show their zeal through delivering letters. My group members and I were in charge of translation for them in order to ensure them buy appropriate stamps. Our terminus was one produce market.
The Danish did not complaint any awful smell inside or appeared impatient complexion. On the contrary, they began to observe diverse vegetable,meat and grains, or had a try of native produce. Meanwhile, I taught them how to say some simple ways of asking prices so that the active atmosphere reached its climax.

Teaching a group of naughty and naive kids in Beijing East Road Primary School s also a remarkable thing. Those guys seemed very tired of English study. So except English conversations, the UNO cards play was another finesse to keep their attention. Every time I stated its rule in English,the translation with Mandarin was necessary, or they would not understand easily. It seemed a bit stuffy for, but I would grasp motivation from their gaze.

With approximately 20 hours' volunteer work, my horizons has been enlarged and I even feel myself as a harvest man who obtains abundant grain in fall. Everyone ought to have his own outlook to outside as when a person needs a name. It shows you are different from others. Going beyond the boundaries of current knowledge to make more new discoveries will be earlier acquired with this dog-eat-dog world.
