Duty Report

Hello everyone,today I want to share with you an extraordinary day of mine last week.

It fell on last Saturday.It was a muggy, gloomy and slothful day. There were not many people on the streets and buses were almost empty.It was 10 o’clock in the morning. My father still didn’t get up,while my mother was surfing on the internet as usual.Everything in my family was so tranquil just like every Saturday I spent at home after I’ve come to university.The door of my room was shut mutely and about 10 minutes later it would be opened by my mother and then my cell phone was ringing.

“Where are you?” said mum with surprise

“I’ m with my friend leery at the Century Square ,East Nanjing Road” “So?”

“So,I’ll eat out and will return home late this afternoon.”

“Well,well.Take care of yourself and don’t be to late to get home.”

“O.K.No problem”

Do you know what happened during March 30th to April 1st?

If you don’t have any idea,let me tell you.

I accompanied my friend to attend the mass election of My Show.

In the contrast with the scenery besides my neighbourhood, here is an absolutely opposite scene.There were youngsters all over, talking,laughing,singing ,dancing and various activities.However,they have the same expectation, aspiration and their eyes gleamed with same hope-----to be outstanding from ordinary people and raise to be a super star.

I was excited and seemed to be more nervous than my friend. If she becomes a pop star, I’ll become the focus of the media as well. She was handsome and her style is akin to Seven’s. She has a good reputation in her university, so I thought it was very likely for her to get the pass.

Can you guess what? To my disappointment, she failed.The judge asked her to sing a second song but she didn’t prepare and then was eliminated.

Though she didn’t pass the mass election , I still have confidence in her. She said she would learn break dancing and get well prepared next year and I said I would be her fans ,supporting her forever.

In the evening back home, I thought a lot.

Nowadays, mass election seems so prevailing that everything has something to do with it, for example, the enrollment of a DJ , an election of image representative of a city. If you tap “mass election”in Chinese in google, you’ll get777,000 items. I don’t want to criticize the attitude or mentality of those who attend the contest, whether they regard it as a good chance to change their life or just a shortcut to a successful life. I don’t want to guess the malicious purpose of the host of these kinds of contests. I don’t want to commend on the merits and demerits to be the winner in such games. I still don’t want to relate other social issues to analyze the changing values of our

society.I mean I don’t want not I can’t .I think everyone here can do the job by comparison and contrast ,by classification, by reading a lot and summarizing the conclusion,or by other means to analyze this issue. It’ s always easy to say something that some else’s has said .It’s always easy to fellow what most people have done.

What I realize last Saturday is that you can do whatever you want even it’s crazy or stupid. Go and find troubles One must make mistakes till he reaches the truth. Settling down or being sophisticated is not an approach to a better life but to an ordinary life, a life is so mediocre that has little difference from your parents’.

I appreciate a word very much in Chinese it is “生命在于折腾”When you’re in a confusion, you’ll try your best to trace the answer. Once you realized that you’ve chosen a wrong way, you’ll form a clear judgment of what is right. If you don’t trouble yourself very often,you don’t keep making mistakes ,always try to stay where is safe ,then your life will be limited in that small circle.

My friend will succeed; she may have to pay off. Whatever her life will be, I’ll support her. And whatever your life will be , there’s always being a person who will stand for you. That’s far enough.

In the end ,are you habituated to everything in your life? Is your life today a simplified copy of yesterday’s? If the answer is positive,it shows that you haven’t troubled yourself enough.

Thank you for listening.

第二篇：Book Report for The Phantom of the Opera

What do you think of the main character—the Ghost in the novel?

A Ghost or an Angle?

In the novel <The Phantom of the Opera>, there is a character who is very fascinating—Erik.

People in the Opera House are afraid of him because they think he is a ghost. He kills Joseph because he doesn’t like people taking about him. His outward appearance is horrifying. He has the face of a dead man, no nose, just two black holes in his yellow face. His eyes are black holes sometimes and have a terrible red light. He also sends a letter to the two new directors of the Opera House to ask them never sell tickets for Box 5 and pay him 20, 000 francs a month. But the directors don’t follow the words of the ghost. So Erik sends a second letter to blame the directors and ask them to let Christine sing Faust again instead of La Carlotta. At that night, he makes the chandelier goes down and La Carlotta can’t sing anymore. He is so dangerous that most people afraid him and regard him as a ghost.

He is good at singing opera. He is an angle of music. Christine becomes famous because of the guide of him. He takes her through many secret doors and passages, down, down under the Opera House. There is a big lake with black and cold waters. He takes her across the lake in a boat to his house. He just wants

Christine to love him and marry him. Christine say “For this minute, I am your wife” and put her arms around Erik’s neck and kiss him slowly and lovingly on his ugly mouth. Then Erik allows Christine run out with her lover Paoul because he just has the feeling of being loved at the first time. He just wants to be loved at all.

Finally, Erik dies and Christine marries Paoul. He dies with satisfaction.

I like this character because of his sad experience, his talent and his tolerance to Christine. He is an angle! He is an angle who just falls down from the Heaven instead of a ghost!
