IF YOU

As everyone knows that Korean wave is very popular now. Today, I'll share a Korean song called IF YOU with you. This song was published on July 1, 2015. It’s sung by South Korean team BIGBANG, which includes the leader G-Dragon, TaeYang, SeungRi, DaeSung and TOP. This song is collected in the album "D".IF YOU is different from other precious songs of this team. If you are a fan of them, you must know that GDand TOP usually sing powerful raps, but in this song, they changed their style. This song is very nice and sounds gentle that will make you feel very comfortable. The lyrics of this song are written by their leader GD. It tells you a sad love story. It's said that he wrote this song for his former girlfriend. The tune of the song is very easy, which is played with the guitar, so it sounds very soft. If this song is heard during the rainy day and the moment before sleep, it will help change your sad feeling into a happy one. I hope you will like this song.

Was security legislation voted through by the upper house of Japan?

On September 19th, security legislation, which is allowing the nation’s troop to fight abroad, has been voted through by the upper house of Japanese. Once the law is carried out in Japan, it will threaten world peace. On account of this law, Japan has the right to expand its own military, possess lethality weapons, and send into overseas collision with defending allies. Seemingly, it can be regarded as a protection of their own country, and it also a kind of potential risk. The move that could see Japanese army took part in combat overseas for the end of world II. When the news has been published, however, analysts said fierce opposition at home and overseas would make it difficult to use the law. In a sense, China is also influenced by the constitution, which suffered harsh Japanese occupations. Broadly speaking, the security legislation can be a threat to other countries; however, if it can promote the economy of Japan, it will be supported by Japanese.

The best movie

Name: The Imitation Game (模仿游戲)

Director: Morten Tyldum (莫騰·泰杜姆)

Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch (本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇)

Keira Knightley (凱拉·奈特莉)

Matthew Goode (馬修·古迪)

Type: biographic film    feature film

Length: 114min

Characteristics: a true story, about World War II. This movie was nominated on the 87th Oscar for a lot awards and won the Academy award for best adapted screenplay. This movie also disinterred the homosexual situation in that period. The machine called Christopher in this movie also can be regarded as the first computer.

Recommendation: ☆☆☆☆☆

Plots and feelings: During the World War II, the English military needed to decipher the German reports, which were ciphered and called Enigma, to knock down their enemies. Alan Turing was a very famous mathematician who was also a professor of Cambridge University, and he was hired to decipher Enigma with a group of top experts. However, Turing was very unsociable and incommunicative, and he was disliked by his colleagues very much. Thanks to his belief, only one machine can beat another machine, and a machine can think with its own unique method, he only focused on his machine creating, and did nothing about deciphering Enigma at the beginning. Nevertheless, these behaviors made him was even suspected a spy from Russia. Later, with the help of Joan Clarke, he was popular and got the support from his colleagues gradually, and they broke Enigma together, which helped shortened the war largely. But in the end, because of homosexual, Turing was sentenced and he suicide by eating an apple with chloride. This movie is very moving, and also makes audiences feel very sad about the ending. A lot of plots in this movie are very outspoken but also profound. Because Turing was very unsociable, the conversation about eating between him and his peers was a little irritating; he named his machine Christopher because he was his first love; he sent apples to his colleagues and told a joke which was not funny at all to try to make friends with them; he took the “homosexual hormone therapy” because he didn’t want to leave his machine, but also Christopher alone. Turing was never alone, because the true love was always in his deep heart. His conceptions and whole life are worthy to be remembered. Besides, we should remember that the computer we use every day has another two names: Turing and Christopher.

Are you ready for the tour?

Traveling is a good way of broadening one’s horizons and it can relieve one’s pressure and get one away from being fed up with the boring life as well. I can still remember the first visit to the beach in Xiamen. It was a cool afternoon and everything was just right. The fresh air ,the soft sand ,the blue waves and the good mood made me feel like opening the mysterious door to a new world. Naughty kids built their houses with sand, laughing and running. Wandering on the beach, I heard the waves singing and I left a row of footprints which were then washed away by the sea. In addition to enjoying the scenery, I picked up some beautiful shells which also made my day. As you can see from what I’ve said, traveling not only brings you enjoyment and attraction but also makes you aware of the vastness of nature. Someone once said, “Life can be likened to a journey with an unknown destination.” Are you ready for your own tour?

As we all known, poetry is a proper form to express the emotion. It has a very long history, and there are plenty of poems that describe Sichuan, which is also named Shu. These poems can promote traditional culture, guide readers to feel the charm of Sichuan, and strengthen their patriotic feelings.

Fortunately, Guangyuan middle school also participated in this speech contest by reciting their original poetry named Old Lizhou. After the recital began, students stepped into the stage with melodic music. They used the poem to show the culture of Jianmenshudao, appreciate the charm of Sichuan, and lead more people to appreciate the cultural treasures. Their extraordinary performance evoked the appreciative applause from audience and their love for Sichuan.
