小成就

我在 2025 年 07 月 08 日跟全州印象、GreenCode 和骆驼餐服的创始人葛琪在一个房间内和其他四个人一起谈论了四个多小时,我从中打开了自己的视角,见了世面。

看完了《金瓶梅》,一共一百回合,花了我大约 43 个小时,这是我这辈子读过最好的书。

My Observation

为了防止自己花钱大手大脚,我认为自己有必要对自己每日的支出有一个记录。

上海师范大学游览

我在 2025 年 07 月 07 日从杭州去上海,坐高铁的话能快点大概不到 50 分钟,如果坐的是动车大概需要 2 个多小时。我感觉杭州和上海之间的往来还是很方便的,朝去夕回。

因为我姐在上海师范大学,所以我去上海办完事之后,马上从宝山区骑共享单车到上海师范大学,哎呀,这个路程实在是太远了,我骑了一个多小时,我的腿都快骑断了。

我在骑车的过程之中感觉到上海这个城市的基础设施还是不错,但是相比于杭州来讲,它有很多老房子,而且地铁是我见过中国所有城市里面最老的,地下的环境显得也比较陈旧。

我在去的过程中看到了华东师范大学,建筑显得比较古典是白色的,给人一种医院护士的感觉。

进入到上海师范大学,我感觉这里挺好的,比中国石油大学(北京)大,整体的氛围也更像是一个大学而不是高中。不过整体建筑风格比较古老,其中有些实验室楼的玻璃给我感觉像是我老家的废旧厂房的玻璃一样。如果你长时间呆在这个学校会比较腻的,不像浙江大学和四川大学那样耐看和耐逛。

这个学校的女生占比很大,我走在其中有一种不一样的感觉。去食堂的时候看到很多学生,感觉他们长得很像小孩,不知道是不是我老了。

What Is My Advantage?

English

If you want evaluate that your English is professional, you have to talk in English natively and write some great English articles. But in China, we just only focus on Reading which is so narrative.

Based on what I think above, I think I should spend at least 0.5 hour practicing my spoken English which not only improve my spoken skill but also listening and reading. I should also try my best to write in English over Chinese. The more I practice in Speaking and Writing, the better I excel in them.

The AI-revised version

When it comes to English, if you want to evaluate whether your English is proficient, you have to speak it fluently like a native and write high-quality English articles. However, in China, we tend to focus only on reading, which is a narrow method to master English .

Based on this observation, I believe I should spend at least 30 minutes a day practicing spoken English, which will not only improve my speaking skills, but also help with listening and reading. I should also try my best to write in English rather than Chinese. The more I practice speaking and writing, the better I will become at both.
