真的要停下来吗？
我还是希望继续看到你的人生记录。三思！

今天突然感受到了自己内心对生活的感激之情。太太和自己都对未来充满了希望，在路上，努力着。儿子每天很快乐地成长着。
知足常乐，心怀感激之情，感受到了每天的平和。

今天早上4：20起床。班上有些忙，加一天班。早上5：00到下午1：00。工资是平时的1.5倍。感觉这里的劳动法规执行得比较好。自己有权决定是否加班。感觉工作的压力很小，工作在每个人生活中占的比重很小很小。自己比较喜欢这一点，这才是生活。

上午和儿子去教堂，两个人都是盼望着星期日去教堂。太太倒是很不喜欢。每个人都有自己的自由，选择自己喜欢的，人生的价值在于自由吧。

ayan讲，寄托的激情需要大家互相鼓励。正是自己需要的，每个人都需要寻找生活的激情。有激情的生活是我们的梦想，无关贫贱富贵。

感谢运粮河畔的白杨和关心自己的朋友。我是一个不轻易追求什么，也不会轻易放弃追求的人。为了一个梦想，自己可能会等待、憧憬、期待5年、10年。当实现的一刻来临，体验那种无法描述的感受，喜悦与酸甜苦辣交织在一起。对自己的崇拜、佩服，不亚于自己对别人的崇拜、佩服。哈哈

做一件事情，喜欢一直做下去。过程永远比结果更美丽。

听写英语录音，对提高听力帮助很大。是不是要坚持一下？

每天游泳，健身，倒是很容易坚持。哈哈

一次去香港玩的时候，经过一个小教堂，觉得很漂亮，就走进去。没想到还正赶上一对新人的婚礼呢。是异国夫妻，规模不大。但是气氛很好。难忘中……

这句我喜欢;P

我工作跟白杨一样在上海。不过这几天回到老家看父母了，所以上网也不规律了。

过程永远比结果美丽，感受一样，呵呵！:handshake

我们去的是基督教教堂，好像有些慧根的感觉。不过在加拿大，好像天主教的人数比例大一些。教堂中的一种平和关爱的气氛，的确让人感动。

昨天从网上下载了SitMan PC复读机软件，找了一篇9分钟42秒的特慢速英语（http://www.listeningexpress.com/cdr.aspx，介绍中是说：本节目不属于VOA，但却是听力入门预备级的极好材料！速度比VOASE更慢,初练听力者推荐！有文稿。最低要求：掌握1500个词汇。），用了差不多1天的零星时间，断断续续地听写完。的确感觉钟道隆的《逆向法学英语》不错。

早上在班上试着回想昨天听写的短文，绝大多数句子都回忆不下来。《逆向法学英语》强调的就是“欲速则不达”，看来还是有些道理。还需要慢慢体会，捉摸。

有没有寄友想一起提高听力水平？一起来。下面是我的听写，还有一些错误。

Welcome to our program in specialized English. I am Mike Prompter. This program uses a special English method of broadcasting.It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.

In today's program we will tell about slang words and how the word Christian first come into use and we have some information about an interisting internet website for movie lovers. But first here is an radio with some focus about the future of radio. Ann comes from the country of Malaysia.

Have you noticed how much radio has changed in recent years? International radio specially is different. In some parts of the world, the end of the coldwar has caused political changes. Then radio is now used much less as a weapon to spread ideas.In other places television has grown. Some people who used to listen to radio before, now watch television instead. Some people have even said radio is died. But is it? Radio is changing. Some international services like the BBC and VOA, now transmit on local FM stations. They do this even in coutries where they were banned only a few years ago. And radio is going digital. It is using the same technology as computers to make broadcasts even clearier in the 21 century.

A satellite for digital radio broadcasting is already in place over Africa. And anyone with a computer can hear radio on the internet from sites such as www.broadcast.com.

But for many people, these new things are far to costly. They do not have the money for a television, a digital radio or a computer. That is one reason why short wave radio is still the method most people use to listen to international radio.

The radio programs can travel thousands of kilometers across international borders  and yet they can be received on a radio costing less than 20 dollars. So you do not need to be rich to listen to radio.And you do not need to be able to read and even the lack of pictures is not as bad as they may think. The pictures in television are on a small screen. The pictures in radio are in your imagination, in your mind's eye. As someone has said, radio is just like television, except that the pictures are better.

From all of us in the specialized English team, happy listening.

English speakers often use slang words and sayings. These are common but they are not 100 percent correct use of English. Here is Li Diya.

One of the things that makes it hard to learn another language is the use of slang. Slang is the way we often speak in our own everyday language. We use words, sentences or partial sentences to say things that are not clear to those who do not live in our country. Other people can not understand what we are talking about. For example, if you hear a person in the United States say they need some cash or bread or dough, do you know what they mean? They are saying they need more money. Cash, bread, and dough are all American slang words for money, speaking of money. If I do not have enough cash to pay for something, I could say, "put it on plastic". That means charge it on my credit card.

Here is more slang. If a woman says to a man, "Give me a ring". She is not asking him to buy her anything. She wants him to call her on the telephone. Most Americans use such slang expressions in their speech everyday.

Even people who speak the same language may not understand each other's slang. For example, in England a popular kind of fried potatoes are called chips. In America they are French fries. American Dollars are bucks. British pounds are quick. If it is not easy for Americans and British to understand each other when they use slang. They can't, it must be, for someone who is trying to learn English. It is hard enough to learn the normal meaning of words and sentences. It does not seem fair to have to learn slang as well, does it?

It can happen that a slang word becomes the normal name of a thing. Long ago, when the Christian face was very new, the people who believed and follwed it were called disciples or follwers of Jesus. But in the city of Antiyak people begun to use a new slang word for the followers of Jesus. They called the disciples Christians because these men and women talked so much about their lord Jesus Christ. The new slang name became the normal name. What does it mean to be a Christian? It does not mean to belong to a special race or group or to come from one country or place. A Christian is just a follower of Jesus Christ. Christians are people who believe in him and try to live like him. It is the same in every language no matter what word you use.

CRASY大哥还是坚持了下来，真的很兴奋，因为每天还会又日记等着我去阅读。作为一个旁观者，阅读的过程其实也是对一种自己不曾拥有的生活的一种体验，并从中学到一些东西。所以，我对CRASY的日记特别期待。

今天是2005年的第200天，时间飞得真快。

昨天试着听写当天的VOA慢速英语10分钟的新闻，感觉并不是十分容易。另外感觉VOA新闻的政治倾向太明显，自己不是很喜欢。新闻的第一条是布什和印度总理会面。第二条是一个北朝鲜的官员逃到韩国，透露北朝鲜拥有核武器。昨天全世界发生新闻不计其数，VOA报道的竟是官员外逃，不喜欢。准备另外找些资料来听写。新概念英语或者托福听力试题？

这两天睡眠不足，所以感觉有些累。坚持早睡早起，也是不小的挑战。人是有惰性的，要与惰性斗争。

昨天晚饭后和儿子去图书馆看书，很多小朋友在草地上玩。爱玩是儿童的天性。儿童在玩耍中幸福地成长。希望儿子如此。晚上儿子在床上听故事的时候眼睛已经快睁不开了。哈哈

CRAZY大哥，还记得小弟吗？我现在已经听你的先在国内发展了，寻觅适合自己的路，我在烟草公司现在也挺顺心的，刚刚被提升了一级，最近正在找一些项目做做充实自己，同时自己开了一个经营水晶的店，现在一切都很稳定，什么时候有空，我们聊聊啊，好久都不见你了，呵呵。

这几天在网上看钟道隆的逆向法英语，试验了几天。

语音和文字不同，阅读一篇文章容易，听写同样一篇文章的难度会大许多倍。

闲着没事，想到太太上午上课学英语，中午做饭，下午3：30-晚上11：30上班，早上还要送小孩去教会参加夏令营，也是挺不容易的。

limbo，你好。升了官就感觉前途一片光明，没升官之前简直就是没法活了。怎么跟我一样呐？哈哈，玩笑玩笑。祝一切都好。我把QQ给卸载了，老是跑出广告，实在受不了。

今天传出最新消息，我提干还要审核，哎，焦急等待中，郁闷死了，心情巨低落

两天没来，日记又又多了两页。
CRASY大哥，怎么感觉你的工作类似国内的三班倒？ 注意身体！白杨在国内祝你健康快乐。
LIMBO，不要着急，是你的总会得到的，保持心境平和就好。

运粮河畔的白杨UID: 165781

CRASY大哥，我在VISA版上写CHECK日记，有空可以去看一下。

CrazyPioneerUID: 2111388

我是早上7：00-下午3：30上班，太太下午3：30-晚上11：30上班，儿子早上9：00-下午4：30参加夏令营。我们家三口人，男女老小，都挺忙活。

上班不累，累主要来自于网络综合症，晚上不睡，早上起不来。老想早睡早起，老是做不到。

运粮河畔的白杨考完寄托以后，是怎么继续学英语的？这几天我在用逆向法听写，不知道效果如何？这次又能坚持多久？有兴趣的朋友加入，大家一起学，好吗？
