Group Work!!

Before discussing the technology project with my group,
I was so nervous becuase I was bad at socialing with
people that I didn't know. In addition, I was so worried
that my poor English would make me contribute nothing
for my group.

However, my group was really nice to me. They listened to
me carefully and adopted some of my ideas. Finally, we
completed our project cooperately and provided a good
lesson plan for future educators as a reference.

Finally, my computer made some sounds

You must can't believe that my desktop never make any sounds
since I got it. Because I had no idea about the computer, people
who sold me the desktop didn't install the sound card, therefore,
my desktop was silent for almost a year! In order to complete our
technology projects, like music concrete and movie page, all I had to
do was to go to the computer repair store. Finally, my desktop made
sounds!! Right now, I didn't need to rely on my laptop to hear music,
my desktop is also work!!

My First Time With The Double Bass

I still remembered my first time to see the double bass was in an orchestra concert when I was ten years old. At that time, I had a dislike for this huge instrument because I saw a fat woman carried it to the stage and played some unclear bass sounds. Those things made me think that people who played the bass would become fat and ugly, in addition, people who played the double bass would also mean that he/she had no status in the orchestra.

However, when I entered to the music school of the elementary, I couldn't believe that I was picked up as a bass player just because of my height. When I knew this decision, I cried and tried to convince my teacher of my unwilling. No matter what I did, I still had to play the double bass. Therefore, at the first few years of bass learning, I carried an uncomfortable mind to learn the bass.
