general stuff (in chinese)

Monday, February 26th, 2007

今天早上我在工作的电脑前正在坐。
最近我喝了咖啡很多说不定因为我比较忙,睡觉有稍微少一点儿。
我在学习汉语很多。 我想增多语汇所以我在看几书。
我应该去图书馆找小孩儿的书所以学习多一点儿。
如果我找到那些,希望我可以阅读的容易。
那些太难的时候我把全部时间都用词典。
昨天我查中国的鸟的观察,它是我的爱好。
我查出很少中国人观察鸟。
我希望我去中国的时候我可以找到个写真鸟的书。
明天我要写个中文的考试。
它是我们的中文课的最后考试,星期二我们上新课。

Dr. Yuezhi Zhao gave an excellent talk on her research on cencorship in china, and how it ties in with the move toward neoliberal economic and social policies. The overall theme was that the western [...]
