If I am an audience, I would like someone convince me with some visual medias. Because I am a person who is sensitive to something visible such like images and videos, some shows will make me pretty excited. Music is also a good way to show me some ideas, it will make me feel enjoyable and comfortable.
If I am an audience, I would also hope that there are some brief relevant words about the images or videos. I hate to read tons of pages and just get a little information. I am an active person. When some small children were reading the fairy tales in kingdergarten I was actually looking at the magazines which had lots of pictures, though I could not understand them completely at that age. Gradually grown up, I still do not like reading that much, but have interest in the visual media. Because I am very into the music, I enjoy the MVs a lot. What's more, I can even sit in front of the television and watch the ads non-stop for a couple hours. I love to watch those ads and find the meaning of them.
If I am an audience, I will look forward to receiving some fresh ideas, colorful expressions. The most expected one would be a documentary music video about me. Good!

Literacy in My Life -- Shopping
How could shopping be a literacy? Shopping is woman's nature. When you face tons of the pretty clothes, shoes, bags, what else can make you move out of your way? None for me. I love shopping, though sometimes it is only window-shopping.
When mentioned the word "shopping", people always think of the luxury and mammonish. But shopping is far more than those. Shopping is an art, how to get value-for-money goods, is always a question which is worth considering. I was the person who was in charge of the financial work of my class in high school. What I need to do is to buy all kinds of staff for the class and get sponsorship for the activities. When our class planned to hold some events, such like get-togethers or class meetings, our group would go to the market to search for some decorations for them. At this time skills are particularly important, we should first find some suitable good- quality goods, then give an acceptable price in mind, by bargaining with the vendor,finally bought the things in a proper price. What to say when bargain with the vendors, what actions should be taken to make the vendors decrease the price, are both questions which need thinking about.
Shopping is a basic life skill, more than just an entertainment. And sometimes when you buy something adorable will make you feel better. Window-shopping is also a good way to relax and talk with friends, because women will speak a lot during shopping.
To be a good shopper is not only a pleasant thing, but also a necessary ability in life. Shopping does bring me a lot of happiness and realistic benefits.

Literacy in My Life -- Music
I have a love for music. I started to learn to play different kinds of instruments from a young age, so that I have a special feeling in music. I remember that I was used to being selected to performance in the activities of school and class because of my talent. And also for this reason, I became admired by a lot of people which were in the same age as me at that time. Through these experiences, my ability and courage were both developed.
Having a band in high school is really a cool thing, and I did it! At the very first time, we were only a few children who love music and instruments, we did not have any experience of making a band, what we only had was passion, lots of passion. We shared our ideas of the songs. We communicated with the tones and lyrics happily though we were not very familier with each other before. I felt like that music lives without borders.
Here in US, I also met some friends who were fond of music. One of them is Kay, he is a Korean boy who has been here for about three years. He has professional microphone and stereo in his dorm. He often makes the song by himself, he downloads the music from the Internet and writes the lyrics then records them. The songs he made are really wonderful and pretty professional. I appreciate his talent so much, our band used to try to write some lyrics by ourselves but we did not do it very well, what Kay did really makes me excited and light my mind of keeping on music.
Music is a thing that can inspire me and give me a lot of power. I use music to make friends and communicate with people. I cannot live without music, because it is a real fantastic literacy I have.

Literacy in My Life -- Sports
Sports is life. I am into sports, although not very good at, but have been involved in many sports since young. My father taught me to play table tennis in primary school, because it is China's national sport, as long as one is a Chinese, for better or worse, he or she is able to play a little while. Table tennis is the first sports I learned, althought I was not very good at it. But because of table tennis, I made the first group of friends in my life. Everyday after the school, we would join together in the backyard to play table tennis, although we were all very poor in it, but we had a lot of fun in it.
Later I fell in love with Frisbee, this was also affected by my father who was very "trendy". He bought a Frisbee home, since then we would play the Frisbee together in the yard every weekend. And that scene has become an unforgettable childhood memory in my mind. After I came to the United States, every time I see somebody playing Frisbee, it always makes me think of the scene which father and I were playing Frisbee so happily. At the moment, I feel like that the stream of warm is flowing in my heart.
When I was in high school, because of the heavy work load, the opportunity to exercise became less gradually, and the whole people seem lacking vitality. Once during the enrollment of our school's sports meeting, the monitor appointed me to take part in the of long-distance projects--1,500 meters. I thought he was crazy, even the 200 meters would make me dying at that time. So I refused him immediately, "are you kidding me ?" I said to him. The following day I received a letter from the monitor, he said that I was a strong girl, he did not believe that I cannot overcome it, he said if I kept looking for an excuse to comfort myself, I would certainly be a failure. I got a lot of inspiration from his letter, then I decided to take part in the game. I went to playground to practice everyday after class, from where I could even not be able to finish the whole run to where I could easily cover the 1500 meters, only the people who experienced it will know how hard it was to do that. During the game time, I did not get a good ranking, but what made me be proud of myself is that I completed the game, which I used to think that I would never do.
Sport is not only good to my body and sprite, it also brings me friendship, and a strong will. As there is life, there is sports.

Literacy in My Life -- Programming Language
What I wrote yesterday makes me think of another kind of language which people use to communicate with regardless of the languages they speak. That is programming language. Since the advent of computer, people have created a lot of kinds of computer language to manipulate the computer to better serve humanity. Computers, after all, are machines, so people can only use specific language to operate them, such language is common all over the world. In any place of the world, these languages can be identified by the computers there.
I am learning Dreamweaver and NVU in CSE class this semester. Programming language now formed a lot of sound systems, such as C Language and so on, but Microsoft's contribution to the operation of language is immense, Window linguistic invention greatly simplifies the operation of the programming. However, some complex work such as websites design, still needs to use specialized programming languages to achieve.
I did a lot of programming thing in my class. We built our own website and fullfill the content of ourselves. We have to recite some basic marks and signs for designing. When you check the programming words of any webpage on the Internet, you can see that the complexity of web pages which have lots of features are from these basic components of language.
This is kind of technical skill is necessary for us. I will keep on learning well of it and someday apply it to somewhere useful for me.

Literacy in My Life -- Mathematics Language
We cannot live without literacies, because they are the tools for people to communicate with each other. There are also numbers of languages in the world. Some people speak their own languge in the particular area. Therefore, people from different parts of the world cannot understand the other language which spoken by others. However, there is a language that the people all around the world can understand, interpret and communicate with others, that is the mathematics language.
I am taking math class now, and what makes it different from other classes for me is I can easily follow what the teacher is teachering, even though it is taught in my second language. Most signs and formulas are the same in math, we learned them in our high schools no matter where we are from and no matter what language we are speaking.
I am always considering the Arabic numerals are the greatest invention in human's history.
Not only in maths, but also Physics and Chemistry. The whole world is using the same equations and formulas. We can make each other understood without using another mediate language.
With these language literacies, our scientific work becomes less tough. We use them to make charts and tables to show others some circumstances without misunderstanding. Think about it, that is really an amazing thing, isn't it?
