My Oscar Dream
On the night of March 1, the 76th Annual Academy Awards was shown on television. After watching it, I had a dream, a sudden wish, that some day, I could receive an Oscar award, or a nomination, for a movie I've made.
While I was schooling in Australia, my friends from school and I received a n assignment one day, "To make a ten to twenty minute movie on the topic of your choice." At the time, the trend was based around the popular Matrix movie trilogy, so that became our obvious choice.
Because our schedule was very tight, and it was a first time experience, we found it all very hard work, but when we released our production at school, it was worth it. After my friends and I showed the movie, we could not get from one end of the school to the other without getting congratulated about five or six times. We, especially I, were proud. We made a school-wide sensation.
From then on, I became obsessed with how to make movies and how filming is done. I just wanted to know about everyone and everything that has something to do with movies. I would watch a movie four to five times, just to find out how one camera angle, or special effect was produced. I found everything I watched quite amazing. I sometimes admired directors and producers of these films because the techniques they use are so smart. Their cleverness inspired me to make and act in movies.
When I become little bit older, I would like to attend a movie academy in Beijing or Shanghai, then America, or England, after some training and experience, I would like to make a movie, which will most likely be an action movie, which is my favorite kind of movie to watch.. If I am lucky, I hope I would get an Oscar Award for this movie. I think that would be quite a challenge, but it’s not impossible. For now, it’s back to watching movies over and over again for me!
我的奥斯卡梦想
前几天，中央电视台播放了美国第76届奥斯卡颁奖典礼的盛况。我突然有了一个梦想：长大了以后，我也拍电影，我拍的电影也能获得奥斯卡奖。
我在澳大利亚学习的时候，英语老师给我和我的朋友布置了一个作业：拍一个十到二十分钟的自选题电影。那时候，我们最喜欢的电影是《黑客帝国2》，于是就做了跟它差不多的一个小电影。我们准备好摄像嚣材、道具，然后拍摄、演出和编辑，一共用了两个星期。
我和其他的三个同学通过读书、上网和反复观看《黑客帝国2》，弄明白了里面的人物角色和其他装备后，就分配工作，开机拍摄。我在影片里不仅担任编导，还扮演了一个反面人物——一个戴墨镜的'枪手“史密斯”。
因为时间紧，我们又是第一次拍电影，万事开头难，所以觉得比较辛苦。但是，那天放完电影以后，很多人都来祝贺我们，对我们说”干的好”，我们觉得那么辛苦是值得的。我们，特别是我，都很自豪.我们的电影在学校出名了。
从那时开始，我对拍电影特别感兴趣，想了解跟电影有关的所有的细节。有的时候，为了弄明白一个特技或一个拍摄角度，一部电影我要看四到五次。我发现这些东西非常奇妙，也很佩服这些电影的导演，因为他们用的这些技术非常巧妙，给了我很多启发。
我长大以后，想去北京或上海，甚至去美国或英国的电影学院学习，等知识和经验都丰富了以后，拍摄一部动作电影，那是我的最爱。如果幸运的话,我希望能够获得奥斯卡奖。虽然对我来说这是个很大的挑战,但不是不可能的。现在我还是回去看电影吧!
谢谢!
Where There is Life, There is Music
What is music, no one can explain.
Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air. A beautiful melody floats slowly around you
You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing and singing calling for the coming of Spring.
I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.
Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone’s life, in everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird’s singing, in the harmony of village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn’t know music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead and devils.
So dear friends, let’s open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it throughout our lives. Love music and love life.
Thank you.
哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐
音乐是什么，无人能解释清楚。
想象此刻你正坐在富丽堂皇的音乐大厅里，乐队指挥手中的闪闪发亮的指挥棒在空中优雅的舞动。悠扬悦耳的音调飘扬在你的周围。
静静地闭上双眼，敞开心扉。小提琴精妙的振颤会把你带入到天堂祈福的心境;大提琴微弱低沉的叹息会使你想起一位老人在风中散步，沉浸在童年时代宁静和挚爱的回忆中;长笛轻快的独奏使你从想象中猛醒;流畅的音符像一群飞舞歌唱的燕子在呼唤春天的来临。
从童年时代音乐就是我的挚爱。父亲经常说，我在襁褓中，没有温柔甜美的摇篮曲在耳边低吟，就难以入眠。现在音乐是我生活的一部分。每当我感到疲倦，失望或情绪不振时，我就求助于音乐。音乐，除了音乐，没有什么对我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影响。
音乐与我们同在，哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐;哪里有音乐，哪里就有希望。它存在于每个人的日常生活，存在于我们耳闻目睹的一切事物之中;存在于海的波涛，清风细语，悦耳鸟鸣，和谐的乡村钟声之中;无论你身在何处，都会听到音乐。一个不了解音乐的人将失去半个世界。一个不重视音乐的民族将是一个悲哀的民族。一个没有音乐的世界将是逝者和恶人生存的世界。
亲爱的朋友，让我们伸开双臂去拥抱音乐，在人生中享受音乐的乐趣。热爱音乐，热爱生活。
谢谢大家。
