In our country,there are some summer activities like swimming, fishing, surfing and camping. there are also lots of winter activities like ice carving, skating, skiing and having hot pots. However, because China is quite huge, people in different cities of northern and southern China will have different activities in their holidays.

may I say individually travel or freedom travel? I'd like to take a independent tour instead of package tour. Clever students always get off the beaten path. Wow! What a mysterious/strange sight.

不像前两节课那么紧张了，但听力还是不好，很简单的打出来认识的单词，听不出来，已经开始进入教材的学习了

Thanks for your time, dear Abigail. Can I express this way? The babysitter always feel bored and sleepy, in connection/relation to that the baby is also sleepy and quiet.

It is not uncommon amongst the Chinese to ask someone who has just awaken from a short nap if he or she has just visited Grandmaster Zhou for a discussion. But what is this so? Grandmaster Zhou (also known as Zhou Gong) who lived approximately 3000 years ago is credited with the earliest Chinese Dream Dictionary known as “Zhou Gong’s Book of Auspicious and Inauspicious Dreams”. Legend has it that this is the same person who is credited with the development of the Yi Qing or the Book of Changes. Therefore whenever you dream, it is like paying a visit to Grandmaster Zhou! You can find a section of his book in the Chinese Almanac which until recent times is found in most Chinese household. This also explains the popularity. It is not uncommon during my parent’s and grandparent’s time to refer to this section of the almanac whenever a member of the family has a dream, more so a strange one. In the Chinese Almanac dreams are presented in seven categories. They are astronomy, home and surroundings, gods and spirit, person or body, music and disharmony, living creatures and lastly clothing and miscellaneous items. Some of the interpretations are somewhat logical. For example if you dream of sunset, then you parents are sad. Or of you dream of eating cooked meat versus eating raw meat, it is a sign of good luck. Some of the interpretations are not so logical. For example if you dream of a blue snake it is a good sign. Or if you dream of sharing an umbrella with someone, you will be separated from your family members. Some are hilarious. For example if you dream of your own wedding, then it is a sign that you will be separated from your wife! Worst if you dream that your wife is pregnant. It means that she is engaged in an adultery affair! While reading the Chinese Almanac there is a section of it that is a part of Zhou Gongs book. This is a book that is commonplace in a lot of houses of Chinese people. This book is commonly referred to in Chinese households when someone has woken up and wishes to know the meaning of their dream especially if it a strange one. You will find 7 categories within the Chinese Almanac. Anything you will dream about is within these categories and anything that does not come under the first 6 will be covered by the section miscellaneous. You can find everything about dreams within this book which is why you are able to refer to it no matter the oddity of your slumber. You will find that some of the interpretations will make sense to you such as if you were to dream of eating a cooked turkey over one that has not been cooked you would see this as being lucky, and so is the same interpretation when it comes to dreaming of such an occurrence. There are other interpretations that just don't make sense at all and may be something that you would not think you would ever dream of. Of the dreams that don't seem to make sense or in your eyes could not possibly have a meaning that would be relevant to your waking hours would be the one where you may have a dream about a blue snake. This would also be deemed to bring you luck, where as if you dreamed of sharing an umbrella with someone this could mean that you are about to fall out with or separate from someone. If you were to take every interpretation as if it were real then you could end up paranoid or maybe hopeful about something which is not to happen so you should see the readings as guidance yet follow your heart as to what you really feel. It is a classic book of the royal medicine classic that is more than 4000 years old to date. With using the book of dreams as well as other ways, medical problems were determined depending on what the patient had dreamed off recently. If a person had dreamed of something that had frightened or upset them then it would be deemed that they had a bodily deficiency or imbalance. Falling dreams would show that the higher part of the body is deficient and that the lower part has weigh too much, so would indicate imbalance.

Thank you very much for your comments Abigail. I'll review them reaptedlly. But unfortunatly, our recording haven't been uploaded again. Do you know what's happened?
