    I believe it--it is true for me!

    From facebook :Yue completed the quiz "What U.S. state do you belong in?" with the result New Jersey.
    You have spunk, style, and charisma like no other! Cool drinks, good friends, and a warm summer breeze off the Atlantic are all you need to be completely content. You may not realize your full potential until you are a bit older, but you know for sure that if you put your mind to it, you can do absolutely anything. When obstacles stand in your way, you tactfully, creatively, and successfully overcome them. You are extremely adventurous and daring, but grounded all the same. Your family means the world to you, and when you are done exploring all the opportunities the world has to offer, you know that home is where the heart is. Love comes easy to you, which is why you'll find the love of your life in high school, college, or shortly thereafter...

    I called Australian Police today

    The last time I talked with a police officer was many years ago in China, when my mobile and wallet was stolen. I never thought I would need to call a police in Australia today--not because I lost my mobile or wallet again, but because of a crazy 'female cow' next door--this name was given by the others to her, not me.
     
    It was a lovely day, I got up early because I need to write my 7000 words proposal and send parts of it to my supervisor before our next meeting. I went to to check the mail box of our unit to see whether I could get my parcel --it was sent from China about 1.5 months ago. The 'cow' used to make a lot of  troubles with me and she checks our mail box every morning--I'm watching her everyday from my window, and feel afraid that she will take my mail--I lost a postcard before and she has been threatening me on my personal belongings and even my life. Unfortuantely, I only found one mail, which was sent to the local boy in our unit. I just took his mail back and put it where we put all the mails of the unit. Then I went back to my room and was planning to start my work. About 20mins later, she came out of her room and went out to check the mail box as she usually does everyday, and didn't find any mail in it. So she came back and started knocking at my door very rudely. I didn't not want to answer her because she's mad, but she shouted some dirty words to me and accused me of stealing her mail. I was very angry and told her that she has no rights to shout at me and keep knocking at my door rudely, and she doesn't have the right to check my room either. I told her I could only open the door if there's a third person--either the boy in our unit or a police. But she's crazy and didn't listen to me. I was very angry because I was going to have an interview at 1pm in the city, and I can't keep on arguing with her anymore. I told her that you could call police or I will call them--she only wanted to make trouble with me, and accuse me of stealing her mail--which is a lie, so she didn't dare to call the police. But I really couldn't bare her anymore, since it was not the first time for her to make troubles with me and threatening me. After thinking about it carefully, I decided I need to call the police.
     
    The police finally came after one hour of my call. There were two of them, each one 'take care' of one of us. I told the police that the 'cow' keeps shouting at me, accused me of stealing her mail, and threatened me of my life. The police took the records of my statement and suggested that if I don't feel safe, I could apply for an AVO (Apprehended Violence Order)-- It is what I first learnt from our interpreting course when we were talking about legal interpreting, I never thought I will need one. I thanked the police for their coming and I'm thinking about whether I'm going to apply for a AVO from local court.
     
    It is not a good experience to call a police for help, but it is very important for all the international students, like me to know how to protect ourselves. Safety is the best policy!
     
    Don't be afraid of the police, they're very kind and helpful unless you break the law. :-)

    Establishing a relationship with your supervisor

    I find this is very helpful for me,and want to share with other research students!WinkLight bulb
    Establishing a relationship with your supervisor
    A good working relationship with your supervisor is essential since, at every stage, you need his or her professional input, constructive criticism, and general understanding. It therefore helps if the relationship gets off to a good start.

    Good communication
    Good communication with your supervisor based on mutual trust and respect is ideal. This develops over time, of course, but a good beginning is to talk about, and clearly establish, what each expects from the other. A friendly conversation along these lines certainly clarifies practical matters. But it also provides practice in communicating with one another. And, it is also the first step in getting to know each other.

    The tone of the relationship
    The tone of the relationship needs to be relaxed enough for you to be comfortable. Yet it also needs to be professional. An extremely friendly relationship may initially seem attractive and make you feel welcome. Yet, it may not withstand the later demands of robust, critical assessment of your work.

    The other extreme, where the supervisor appears cold and distant and treats you as a researching automaton, and where you are afraid to speak or initiate the contact, is of course unwelcome and counterproductive.

    A professional approach
    The desired professional approach is where you are treated with respect-and you therefore feel safe enough to take risks and show ignorance-but also where your judgement is valued and sought. It is professional for both of you to be prepared to be accountable, and to plan a mutually agreeable working structure. Although you are expected to be taking responsibility for your own research and working independently, you also need to be prepared to consider, and not dismiss out of hand, advice or ideas put forward by your supervisor.

    So…
    Well, of course, supervisors are all different (as do students!) and there is no formula for all situations. But, whatever the situation, it remains true that good communication is the key to the relationship working satisfactorily. Remember that communication operates in two directions and it does require energy, attention and commitment.

    If, despite all your efforts in the early stages to establish a good relationship, you feel that you can never work together, then try to change supervisors now before both of you invest time and emotional energy.
     

    Supervisors’ expectations

    Supervisors also have expectations of candidates. For example, they can reasonably expect students to:

    • share responsibility for their progress
    • make genuine attempts to meet mutually agreed objectives and deadlines
    • accept constructive critique of their work in a positive manner and be willing to discuss issues
    • raise any concerns they have with their supervisors
    • comply with University policies, procedures and regulations
    • access the services, resources and information that is available to support them, particularly the resources supervisors have recommended

    expectation


    Working on an understanding of mutual expectations with your supervisor is an essential part of developing a good working relationship. Do this at the beginning. Some students have no idea what is reasonable to expect while others have what can only be called a wish list. What actually is the truth varies between supervisors and departments. However, expectations can be discussed under several broad headings.
    • Practicalities: This includes such things as: provision of desk or room, equipment, computer facilities, conference funding, photocopying, secretarial or laboratory assistance. While important, these are easy to sort out. Most departments provide some support in this area and information is usually listed in departmental handbooks, publications for postgraduate students, or available from administrative officers or your supervisor.

    • Intellectual support: You could reasonably expect what can be termed 'quality assurance'. By that we mean that your supervisor would probably have experience at both supervising and examining PhD students. This means she or he knows what standard your thesis should meet and can assess the feasibility of your plans. Your supervisor can also play the role of sounding board for your ideas. In initial stages this involves helping you find your way through the literature, guidance in topic formulation, help with research design, and robust comment on appropriate writing style. In later stages this support can change to become more of a discussion of your ideas, results, and theoretical framework. The relationship is often presented as one changing from that of master-apprentice to one of colleagues. In reality, the way it starts is often the way it finishes. A more satisfying relationship is one where both parties acknowledge from the start that they are potential colleagues.

    • Emotional support: It is reasonable to expect that, while taking a needed critical approach to your work, your supervisor would nevertheless encourage you in your endeavours. A good supervisor would be expected to create an atmosphere where you are not frightened of asking questions, where you don't feel you have to be brilliant all the time, and in which you can even occasionally expose your ignorance. You need to feel safe. It is useful to remember that, at this stage of your academic life, your supervisor is not your assessor but someone who is in your corner. Your success is his or her success.

    The framework in which this support happens varies but what you would expect is to have frequent, dedicated meetings with your supervisor. These are reasonable expectations but they do have to be negotiated and formally set up right from the beginning and then reviewed as needs change.

    The other side of the coin is that your supervisor has reasonable expectations of you. These would include:
    • that you are academically competent, can handle the theories and major concepts in your area, but will acknowledge and work on any weaknesses or acquire any necessary technical or research skills;

    • that you are able to express yourself both orally and in writing. Remember, although part of your supervisor's role is to guide you in the use of appropriate discipline-specific language conventions, writing is still your responsibility.

    • that you keep your supervisor informed about the progress of your work and whether you're facing any problems. Too often supervisors say "If only I'd known that (the experiments failed, you've run out of money, broken your leg)".

    • that you can organise yourself, meet deadlines, and in general not need to be told what to do and be 'supervised' all the time. But … that you will ask for help if you need it.

    In other words, you should be able to expect a professional supervisor, and your supervisor should be able to expect you to be professional also. This relationship is so important that it warrants time, thought and energy to keep it working.

    FEEDBACK
    It is a mistaken belief that you should do everything on your own. You need to seek feedback and use it. Unlike course work, the PhD program doesn't provide regular contact and communication with lecturers and tutors. It is often up to you to organise meetings with your supervisor and to ensure that you get regular feedback on your work.

    Seeing your supervisor in passing, or even for longer periods in the lab, or having a polite conversation is not enough. Nor is it a good strategy to assume that, if the supervisor doesn't quiz you on your work, he or she is happy with it.

    What you need is regular, dedicated time with your supervisor when your work is the focus and when you come with the agenda for the meeting.

    At different times throughout your PhD, you will focus on different issues:
    • at the beginning stages you will want to discuss your ideas, to 'try them on', to see if they will work, are feasible, etc. Here you need the experience of your supervisor and therefore his or her serious feedback on your proposals.

    • during the middle years you will need to discuss the results you are beginning to get, what they mean, what is the best way to analyse them, and how you use this evidence for your argument. It is also the time when you are likely to discover that some things are not working and you need help to explore ways of overcoming the obstacles.

    • at all stages of writing feedback is vital. No matter how many discussions you have had with your supervisor and how well you think everything is going, it is only through your written work that you and your supervisor can judge the progress and quality of your research.

    Strategies for getting the best feedback possible
    • Be prepared. Go to each meeting with things to report, even if you are reporting not much progress, and particular issues you want to discuss and questions you want to ask.

    • Know what you want. When you are handing in a draft of anything you've written, decide at what level you're seeking feedback. You could specify that you need feedback on:
      • general structure;
      • the quality of the evidence you are using;
      • the general flow of ideas;
      • the appropriateness of writing style;
      • the best arrangement of your data in tabular or graphic form.
      This won't guarantee that you will get what you want. But it does give your supervisor or other reader something to focus on and is more likely to meet your needs.
    • Ask questions. The better the questions you ask, the better the feedback you get. For example, it is better to ask "Do you think the discussion of x fits better in section a or b?", rather than "Would you look at my writing?" Or you could say to your reader, "Don't bother at this stage with sentence structure, but tell me if the argument is logical and convincing."

    • Seek feedback from as many sources as possible. Your supervisor is not your only possible source of feedback. You could ask fellow students for specific feedback (and of course reciprocate when asked). You could also ask other scholars - although courtesy and common sense say you need to mention this to your supervisor.


    Overcoming reluctance to seek feedback

      Reluctance to seek feedback can stem from several reasons:

    • Imposition on the supervisor. You may think that you are imposing on your supervisor because he or she is always very busy, is eminent in the field, or that you shouldn't bother him or her. The first step to overcoming this is to realise that providing supervision for you is part of their role and what they have agreed to do. If you are prepared and know what you want, you are making it easier for yourself and for them and 'imposing' less.

    • Absence of supervisor. You may get sick and tired of trying to find mutually acceptable times and give up trying. If you're really convinced that you've made enough efforts, you either seek your feedback somewhere else or, if the situation gets really difficult, discuss it with your head of department.

    • Doubts and insecurity about quality of your own work. This is a normal feeling with any creative work. Even if your most dreadful suspicions about your work are true, it is better to discover this right away. Accept that, to get the job done well, you have to deal with discussion of the weaknesses as well as the strengths of what you've done or are yet to do.

    • Protecting yourself. Unfortunately, some people give only negative feedback and never mention what is good. Of course, they may assume you already know what is good and there is no need to talk about it. If you feel strong enough, you could try saying something like "O.K., we've talked about the problems with my work. Are there some good points you're happy with?" Otherwise, you'll have to search wider for more balanced feedback.

    • Worthless feedback. If everything you do or write yields just a nod or a tick, then you need to ask specific questions to elicit more useful comments.

    DISAGREEMENT

    Disagreements are almost bound to happen in a relationship that lasts for three or more years. These disagreements arise in any area and differ in their degree of severity. What may seem to be the end of the universe to you may be perceived as only a minor hitch to your supervisor. Conversely, you may be going along happily while your supervisor seethes. More likely, however, you are both aware of a problem. Regardless of the situation it is always disruptive and can slow, or even halt, your progress. Whatever the problem, if you are sure that you haven't misinterpreted the situation, the first thing is to do something about it.

    Here is a common situation and a possible way you could handle this and similar disagreements.

    The supervisor says that you don't have enough and you need to do a few more experiments. You don't agree because you feel that you definitely have enough and you're aware of time passing.

    You don't agree because you feel that you definitely have enough and you're aware of time passing.You have two options. You can decide to handle the disagreement on the spot or you could give yourself time to think about it.

    Time to think and react.

    You tell your supervisor that you need to think about it. This gives you time to think about what the supervisor said, to overcome your emotional response, and to prepare a comprehensive answer. It could even be helpful to write down your thoughts. There could be several possible outcomes of your next meeting with your supervisor:

    • after a thorough discussion, your supervisor accepts your point of view.

    • or you reach a compromise. You agree to do some but not all of what was originally asked of you to ensure your thesis reaches the required standards.

    • or you reach total deadlock. From here you may decide that, even though you disagree, you will do what is asked because it is a trade off to preserve your relationship and to finish without too many hassles. Or you decide your reasons are strong enough and you don't want to give in. If further discussion doesn't resolve the situation it may be helpful to talk to someone else such as a fellow researcher, learning adviser, student union representative for postgraduates, or counsellor. If, as a result of all this discussion, you modify your position you should feel comfortable to return to your supervisor and talk it over again. It could be that your supervisor has been rethinking too. A new solution is found. On the other hand the deadlock persists and maybe now is the time to talk to the head of the department and even consider changing supervisors. It has to be remembered that this is a last resort and must be carefully considered.

    Certainly disagreements can be uncomfortable. However it is very often the case that disagreements force a rethinking. This can improve the thesis - and indeed the relationship with the supervisor. It is important to remember at all stages of any disagreement with your supervisor to try to keep communication going.

    Every university has an established procedures for dealing with grievances and problems that may occur during your candidature. Consult official university handbooks, postgraduate organisations, postgraduate student organiser, faculty committees on postgraduate students and student advisers if necessary.


    Your rights
    One of your major rights is the right to good supervision. This would include:
    • regular dedicated meetings with your supervisor to discuss the progress of your work;
    • useful feedback on your work (feedback on conceptualising your research, formulating your topic, handling of data, writing up of your thesis);
    • provision of an alternative supervisor in the absence of your main supervisor;
    • encouragement and financial support to present your work in conferences and through publishing.
    Your obligations
    Along with your rights you have obligations, so you have to:
    • comply with all university requirements and procedures;
    • attend the university for seminars, tutorials, courses or for any other purpose required by your supervisor or head of department;
    • submit regular progress reports as specified by your university;
    • complete your study within a specified period of time.

    Supervisors’ expectations

    Supervisors also have expectations of candidates. For example, they can reasonably expect students to:

    • share responsibility for their progress
    • make genuine attempts to meet mutually agreed objectives and deadlines
    • accept constructive critique of their work in a positive manner and be willing to discuss issues
    • raise any concerns they have with their supervisors
    • comply with University policies, procedures and regulations
    • access the services, resources and information that is available to support them, particularly the resources supervisors have recommended

    最后一课--Last CHIN5900 @ UNSW

    这周是我们这学期的最后一周,也是我在UNSW,在悉尼的第一个MASTER的最后一周。我却没有因为即将到来的毕业而感到丝毫的高兴,而是在疯狂地解决各门功课最后疯狂的考试,作业,PROJECTS,论文。。。毕业意味着新的开始,第二个MASTER我还没有决定读COURSEWORK还是RESEARCH,可是我知道自己还得把痛苦的读书继续进行下去......
    周二是我们主课的最后一节课,也是我们PROJECT做报告的日子。看到老师在讲义上写的简短的几句给我们即将毕业同学的话,心里很难受..我突然开始舍不得这个班级,我的老师和同学。短短的一年,14+12=26节课,虽然有过伤心,也有过快乐... 最后一次站在这个班的讲台上做PROJECT PRESENTATION,听老师在下面的点评时,我很难过。谢谢钟老师,谢谢我的同学们,认识你们真好!我会永远珍惜这段美好的回忆。

    I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

    不常在这里写东西,但是这篇一定要写在这里 因为希望他能看到 (也许可能性不大...)

    THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

    奥运有我更精彩!

    刚入选了安徽省奥运会志愿者 终于实现了自己在合肥电视台节目中的心愿"2008年我要回来参加奥运会", BEIJING, WE ARE READY!眨眼
     
    合肥女孩的“奥运梦想”

    [主持人]你好,这里是晚间记事,欢迎收看。 24岁的合肥女孩越君毕业于北京外国语学院,在一家高校做英语老师。越君对体育运动十分痴迷,她有一个愿望,想参加2008年北京奥运会。普通人哪能参加奥运这种世界最顶级的运动盛会呢?越君说自己只是想想罢了。不过,连她自己都不敢相信的是,这样的机会还真的来了……

    [现场声  越君] 视频自我介绍
    [配音] 越君正在参加的是北京2008“奥运舵手”的选拔。因为无法去北京,越君只能通过网络视频向评审委员会呈述自己的参赛愿望。
    [现场声  越君] 老师提问游泳能力问题回答
    [资料]奥运舵手选拔活动宣传片
    [配音] “奥运舵手”选拔是国家体育总局等部门自今年9月起,在全国发起的一场“海选”活动,目的是挑选一男一女两位“舵手”,和中国赛艇队一道出征2008年北京奥运会。越君要竞争的就是这个百分之百的“平民奥运队员”。
    [现场声  越君] 希望大家支持我 希望老师能在2008年的北京看到我
    [配音] 越君已经杀入全国310进80强的比赛,她也是目前为止安徽赛区产生的十强中唯一的合肥选手。按规定,选手要为评委做才艺展示,越君决定“秀”上一段空手道破板表演。
    [现场声  越君] 在板上写几个字
    [现场声  越君] 破板

    字幕:安徽省水上运动中心
    [现场声   安徽省射击水上运动管理中心副主任   任俊雄] 收到的报名材料一共60多份  女生只有6个人 
    [采访   安徽省射击水上运动管理中心副主任   任俊雄] 从8月份开始的 安徽的参与人数不算少了 因为大家对水上运动还不是太了解
     [配音] 310进80的评选速度很快,从10月25号到11月5号,选手们会得到来自网络和短信平台的群众支持。
    [采访   安徽省射击水上运动管理中心副主任   任俊雄] 这个活动整个过程都在网上


    [现场声  越君和朋友] 人家9万多票呢  我们没法比 
    [配音] 11月6号,晋级全国80强的网络评选结果出来了。越君落选了……
    [现场声  越君和朋友 ] 昨天一晚上都没睡着  不敢看结果   这样已经很不错了
    [采访  越君朋友  韦勇] 投票第二天看到票数 她是103票 人家都已经5 000-6000了
    [采访   越君朋友  王嫣] 我们朋友都支持她 但是人太多 她票数太低了
       [采访  越君] 有点伤心 难过

    [现场声  越君练跆拳道] 
    [现场声  越君] 这些奖状和奖牌都是跆拳道得来的
    [配音] 越君酷爱跆拳道,喜欢钢琴,有着扎实的英文基础,还是个典型的体育迷。朋友们谈起她都会竖起大拇指。
    [采访  越君朋友  王嫣] 一直支持体育 很努力 英语特别好
    [采访  越君朋友   韦勇] 奥运火炬来的时候 她到处打听报名
    [采访   越君] 珍藏的一个排球 自己参加国际排球比赛 做全程翻译时得到的
    [配音] 至于为什么会想到参加“奥运舵手”选拔,越君说也是因为一个偶然。
    [采访  越君] 最初是看到一个广告被广告吸引
    [配音] 不过,报名还真不是件简单的事,越君费了不少周折。
    [采访   越君] 9。12号开始发邮件  拼命发  没人理我
    [配音] 报名过后是漫长的等待过程,音信全无的等待让越君很灰心。
    [采访  越君] 上海叫我去比赛 但我没去 在等安徽启动 广州已经出10强了 安徽还没有动静 
    [配音] 由于安徽的报名选手并不多,从参评到才艺竞技,越君几乎都是通过网络独立完成的。
    [采访  越君] 很多人可能也想参加 但安徽宣传少 很多人不知道 很多省组织的好 有专家指导 靠自己太单薄了
    [配音] 也许是太势单力薄了,越君在网络投票这个环节处于绝对的劣势。最终,安徽赛区没有一个选手进入全国80强。
    [采访   越君] 有一个安徽赛区的还不是安徽人  等于一个都没有 挺失望的
    [采访  越君朋友  王嫣] 安徽不是很多人关注
    [采访  越君朋友   韦勇] 大环境安徽不如其他省份  
    [配音] 越君和朋友们都有点难过,越君说不是因为自己落选了,而是有点想不通。现在媒体上正在炒作的超女、我型我秀等娱乐节目都有这么多人追捧,为什么奥运这么大的体育盛会在安徽却少人关注呢?
    [采访   越君] 合肥也在建新的体育场馆 但奥运却没人参与 很可惜
    [采访  越君朋友  王嫣] 大家象关注超女一样 一定票数不会这么低
    [采访  越君朋友   韦勇] 这是咱家门口的体育盛事  应该关注  
    [配音] 越君把参赛准备的材料仔细的收了起来,没有竞争上“奥运舵手”,越君马上要按爸爸的安排去澳大利亚读英文翻译硕士的课程。
    [现场声  越君和王嫣] 你走了没人陪我练口语了 如果需要奥运志愿者你会回来吗
    [采访  越君] 毕业时正好是2008年  希望还能为奥运回来 
    [配音] 两个月后,越君将飞往澳洲,那时也正是“奥运舵手”选拔最终结果出来的日子。朋友们希望越君不要带着遗憾离开,希望她在奥运需要她的时候,她还能毅然的回来。
    [采访  越君朋友  梁越峰] 希望你发扬奥运精神
    [采访  越君朋友   韦勇]  继续走自己的路 需要你时你回来
    [采访  越君朋友  王嫣] 永远支持你


    [编后] 国际奥委会主席罗格在谈到2008年北京奥运会的时候曾经说到:他希望更多的普通年轻人参与到奥运会中来,使它更具“平民色彩”,也正是这样,“奥运舵手”海选活动应运而生。越君虽然没有入选“奥运舵手”,但她的行动已经体现了重在参与的奥林匹克精神。我们希望能有更多的普通老百姓象越君这样执着的关注奥运盛会,有更多的人聚到更高更快更强的五环旗下。好,晚间记事,今天的事情就是这样的……

    合肥女孩角逐“奥运舵手”

    昨天通过新浪网视频在线冲击全国80强

    安徽商报

    2006-11-03 07:51:04

     

     

     

     

        昨天16时,24岁的合肥女孩越君通过新浪网的视频,向北京的评委陈述了自己希望成为一名代表中国的“舵手”参与2008北京奥运会的愿望,并在线展示才艺。一直悄悄参加比赛的越君,在全国一万多报名者的海选中杀入安徽赛区10强;作为唯一一名合肥籍参赛者,在昨天的310进80比赛中,她依然默默坚持着。&

    nbsp;

        “拼杀”全国80强

        今年9月以来,国家体育总局等部门联合在全国海选民间人士,将选拔出一男一女两位“舵手”代表中国赛艇队参加2008年奥运会。全国有一万多人报名参加。

        安徽报名参赛的选手不多,不少外地选手为增加入选几率特地在安徽报名,所以最后在安徽赛区进入前10名的选手中近半是外省选手。越君是安徽10强中的一个幸运儿,唯一的合肥人。

        “看到别人都有好几万的选票,自己才有一千多选票,感觉很无助啊!”越君在短信投票中被PK掉,丧失了直接晋级全国80强的机会。“我一定要尽力通过网上的比赛,赢得晋级80强的机会。”越君希望自己为家乡赢得荣誉。英语跆拳道样样出色

        昨天的选拔赛是在网上通过视频进行的,浙江、上海等赛区大多是选手集中在一起,通过专业的设备与北京的评委沟通的。而越君的比赛场地却是在自己家里,设备也就是普通电脑和摄像头。

        虽然比赛条件“艰苦”了点,但越君很有信心。记者随手翻阅越君的简历,发现她果然颇具实力:因为英语成绩优秀,刚获得赴澳大利亚攻读英语硕士学位的机会;大学期间就多次参加英语翻译志愿服务,2004年世界女排大奖赛合肥站的比赛中,越君担当波兰女排队的全程翻译,并作为翻译出席了赛后的新闻发布会;不仅获得过韩国跆拳道组织授予的黑带一段,还在全国比赛中获得过优异成绩。在昨天的比赛中,越君通过摄像头给远在北京的评委“秀”了一招“手开腿劈”破木板的跆拳道硬功夫。认准的事一定要做成

        越君起先是偷偷报名参加比赛的,她的父母起初并不十分支持,但执著的她硬是用自己的行动改变了父母的想法。越君的妈妈说,越君认准了的事情一定要做成,“越君刚开始练习跆拳道时,脚趾甲都踢脱落了,我们看了都心痛。叫她不要练了,她怎么都不愿意!”

        随着越君成功晋级安徽赛区10强,越来越多的人开始关注她。不少网友、昔日校友都通过网络给她发来了祝福:“希望你能在比赛中越走越远,走上奥运会的舞台!”

    A catalyst, not a cure - Rogge

    A year from now the Summer Olympic Games will begin in Beijing. Athletes from over 200 nations will participate in an opening ceremony for Games that have come to symbolize China opening up to the world. Many observers will be as interested in judging China's overall performance in 2008 as they will be in the results of athletic competition.

    From the moment Beijing's winning bid to host the Games was announced in 2001, expectations were established that the Games would help improve social development in China. Moreover, since then there has been an increasing tendency to expect that the Games can help influence a wide array of matters related to China's evolution that go far beyond sport.

    The Olympic Movement does not exist in a vacuum. Sport is part of society. With Beijing, however, one of the great challenges will be to manage expectations that the Olympic Games can influence China's evolution to the extent many observers desire.

    It is natural for human rights and other organizations to place their causes in the spotlight that the Beijing Olympic Games is casting on China, and to draw attention to reforms they advocate.

    However, the Games can only be a catalyst for change and not a panacea. Any expectations that the International Olympic Committee should apply pressure on the Chinese government beyond what is necessary for Games preparations are misplaced, especially concerning sovereign matters the IOC is not qualified to judge. That was not part of the bid agreement with Beijing when it was awarded the Games. It was not the case for previous Games, nor will it ever be the case for future host cities.

    It is important to recognize that China's transformation began long before the Games were awarded to Beijing. Specialists are now observing more legislative progress as well as government acknowledgement that more changes are needed in China's society and economy. Much of this was unimaginable a short time ago.

    It wasn't necessarily a deciding factor when the International Olympic Committee voted to award Beijing the Games for the first time in history, but it has since become clear that it is better to open a new door to China than to leave it closed at this point in its modern evolution.

    An open door approach will continue to benefit China, its citizens and its relationships with other nations long after the 2008 closing ceremony. In this sense, the IOC believes more than ever that the Beijing 2008 Games offer a great legacy for China to manage and sustain.

    The committee must focus on ensuring that athletes can prove themselves to be the pinnacle of sport in 2008. But we are also making sure that China adheres to new legislation allowing necessary access for foreign journalists and that it implements beneficial environmental programs for the Games that will be reviewed by the UN Environmental Program.

    All of the dialogue on issues related to China has shown the International Olympic Committee that it must continue to understand the role people expect the Olympic Games to play in an increasingly complex world. Such an understanding will help the Olympic Movement as it endeavors to bring the Games to more places in the world.

    Bringing the Olympic Games to Beijing in 2008 is only one step toward fostering warmth between China and the world. This is the hope for all Olympic Games. If the benefits in Beijing have an effect beyond sport arenas, then everyone will win.

    Jacques Rogge
    President, International Olympic Committee

    芭蕾日记5.23

    终于从北京回家了。其实每次出门最放不下的事就是不能去上芭蕾课了,习惯了每天晚上那个固定的时间为自己那个美丽的梦想而努力着,哪天不去上课总觉得少了点什么。这次去北京待了近20天虽然没有天天都上课,但是却让我收获了很多,很多......
    周三,提高班的课,虽然我知道自己其实最应该在基础班踏踏实实地学习一段时间,可是还是想每天都能练功,哪怕只是活动活动也会很满足的。见到老师,她跟我说的第一句话:“大老硬,出去这么多天,腿又回来了吧?”呵呵我对她笑笑,“谁说我这么多天就没练呢?......” 她不知道我在北京享受芭蕾呢!然而软度却一直是我的心痛,一直做梦都想自己也能轻松的横竖叉,轻轻地把腿抬起,让腿能象自己的手一样灵活地控制它们的运动。练跆拳道三年多被教练踩过搬过,“五马分尸”也用过了 也拉伤过肌肉却一直没有实现自己的心愿。哦,不过现在给别人看的时候,人家会说“你的软度不算很差么”  我笑笑,“你看到的现在是我最好的状态了” 记得刚学跆拳道的时候教练称我们的竖叉叫长江大桥,能到现在竖叉差一点到底,横叉现在的角度,我从来都没有放弃过自己的心愿。我知道自己到现在这样的程度费了多大的努力,所以必须要自己坚持,保持,继续努力才行。
    上课了,原本天天都做的挺熟悉的组合我站在老师后面有时候还真得回忆一下呢! 呵呵现在我脑子里面全都是在北京上姜老师的课的情景,一时还回不到自己的课堂。 我努力地想把姜老师讲得每一句话都刻在脑子里,想把杨老师给我讲的缺点全都注意到......我想,虽然不能在北京上姜老师杨老师的课了,我也不会放弃芭蕾,我要自己坚持努力。因为老师给讲得那么多东西,我很努力的记下来了,我知道自己不可能听了老师的指导马上就能改变,只有靠平时练习慢慢的积累。老师给了我努力的方向和正确的方法,尽管距离遥远,我不能经常接受他们的指导,但是我不能放松对自己的要求。在老师那里上课时会有老师的督促,会有老师不时地提醒自己,要求自己,我现在只有自己按照老师的要求来练习。虽然只是在北京上了几节课,问了老师一堆困惑了很久的问题,让老师给自己找出了很多问题,听老师讲了一些方法和要领,但是真正的练习是要靠我自己的努力的。真的很感谢姜老师,杨老师,索佩JJ.... 我想我能做的就是努力学习芭蕾~~努力,努力,再努力!
    回来第一天上课,天气比较闷,感觉到上课体力不够用了。本来就爱出汗的我,汗水不停地从头上流下,流到眼睛了,滴在地上......我努力地不停地用老师的那些要求来提醒自己用力绷脚,大腿内侧,后背,才觉得以前自己上课根本就没有真正的练到位,虽然也满头大汗地天天上课,效果却~~ 我才知道什么叫“练功”--哪怕只是按要求站在那里汗水都会不停地流下来!很累,但是我心里很高兴!我想,只要坚持这样练下去,一定会有效果的。加油!
    本来后面的中间练习我都是两组都上去做的,现在只能做一组休息一组来喘口气了呵呵 明天起床一定会全身酸疼的~~
    第二节是高班的足尖课,我照例自己在旁边压压腿,踩踩足尖 恩上课的感觉真好!
    明天继续努力 偷笑  星星

    集训日记16--7.19

    昨天脚磨出水泡了 破了一大块皮 今天又不情愿地穿上了道鞋  真的不方便啊 可是脚疼的很 还有要赶紧让它长好才行 不能耽误训练和比赛啊  又想起了教练关于受伤的话 坚持 一定要坚持
    新生课:做操 脚靶一排的各种行进间准备活动--侧滑步 高抬腿 冲刺跑 单,双腿跳,蛙跳
    前踢一排 每人三组    女生两人组三步对练的三种格挡 两人组脚靶

    集训课:跑步一趟到三里街(俺下课换衣服后大部队就回来了 看看来不及了而且脚破了也慢就没去 不过上了一节课了 热身也很充分)
    两人组护具靶 后横,前横,反击后横 还是那些基本技术 不过还是做得不好 这个只有多磨练 被提醒一次老毛病 呵呵 自己要时刻注意
    条件实战 不同的两个人(两组) 一方进攻一方反击
    和他第一组的时候 在打到边上的时候我听到旁边的小朋友喊 后旋 呵呵自己突然有尝试的想法了 于是就来个转身 虽然踢得不好看 而且很低 居然还踢到护具上了 呵呵看来以后可以慢慢练习后旋反击 记得雅典奥运的时候看到一场比赛就是后旋KO 好帅啊 
    第二组对手是女生个子高体重大腿重是我被分到她一组的第一想法 不过后来发现她不象其他猛女那样冲着打 也许我更适合打这样的对手吧 猛冲的那种我和对方都打不出来的 她韧带也特别好呵呵 我现在好象也经常有打头的欲望了 一个下劈虽然没有力量但是距离很合适而且从她面部划下到护具上我还有点担心 因为没有带护头么 这应该是我第二次用下劈打到人 看来韧带真是要好好拉 效果都体现在这里了 还要加强力量 还有一次右腿横踢上头 恩 要给自己自信 我也能做到 对抗要注意距离和时机 还有打点的力量 

    下课站队 教练表扬了几个有进步的小朋友 不过俺觉得自己集训这些天还是有一定收获的 要继续努力的
    最后的时候教练提出我的技术要加强 我知道是横踢还不够完善 腿法和力量 恩教练总算看到我了 这一节课有这一句话我已经很有心理安慰了 我会努力的 得点不得分是我的缺陷 打点的力量不够 这是目前重点需要努力的方向!
    30号就快要到了我好紧张啊 很期待这个机会 但是也有压力 因为自己一定要做到 没有退路了 这是现在我能想到的最好的机会 我一定要抓住它!写下这篇日记的时候,也写下了我的心愿 15天以后我会回到这篇日记来还愿的!加油!加油!!加油!!!

    集训日记15--7.18

    新生课:热身 后来来了个人照相 教练让黄带去踢了腾空前踢
    行进间热身活动几组 然后给了五分钟自己拉韧带 本来是周日检查的 教练周日忙 改今天了
    从女生开始一个一个检查横竖叉 教练给我26分/满分30比我想象得给的高 呵呵还要努力 暑假结束前争取突破横叉 我不会忘记教练给的这个作业的 这样示范团考试又能增加一笔了 呵呵

    集训课:跑步 三里街三个来回
    在301舞蹈教室上课 今天的内容是皮条力量  横踢每组十个+十个快速横踢*N组 反正累得记不得做了多少组了 还有最后两组的时候 因为配合拿护具的人坚持不住去休息了 所以本该是我和他交换的几组都是我一个人来做的 等于把他该做的两组也做了 很累 但是多做对自己也有好处 该吃苦多吃苦么 坚持!
    教练今天上课生气了 说是本来商量好多鼓励我们少发火的 可是大家的表现实在不能让教练满意 教练说信任我们 要靠我们自己 “要想人前显贵,就要人后受罪” 要比赛要拿成绩必须要付出 不吃苦不奋斗怎么行 我会加油的 至少要管好自己 教练不会逼着我来努力的 拉皮条的时候他们看了好几个女生在旁边督促而且还测试了脉搏 也从来都不看我 我知道他们不会关注我的 我自己努力 一定要坚持 加油!
    奋斗 冬练三九 夏练三伏 

    集训日记14--7.16

    今天是一个星期的最后一节课 所以易教练带大家复习回顾了一周学习练习的内容 是一节综合课
    腿法:前踢 横踢 步伐:前滑 后滑 交换步 拳手法:上 中 下 格档
    易教练讲解了横踢以及横踢的延伸变化 展示了三横踢
    本来今天卜教练规定是检查女生韧带的日子 他没有上课 也没有检查 恩 好象今天人少了好些 是不是怕检查没有来呢?呵呵
    集训课:周日照例是实战课 站队分组 没有任何准备活动  看来多亏我每次多上一节课热身啊
    因为护具数量有限 所以每次我们大的总是等前面的小朋友打完了才去穿护具的 于是我们就在镜子那边坐了一排当观众 正看到第一组打了第一局后 教练分别把红,蓝两方的队员分配给了林和我两个人指导 当时有点晕  第一场还没来及看清楚比赛就当了场上指导  不过后来每场都不敢马虎一边看一边想自己这方的队员哪里打得不好可以给他/她提出来 太专心了 后来都快自己上场了 匆忙地穿护具
    因为人员变动 给我换了一个对手 我前两次的对手没有来训练 对手是一起训练最早的老朋友之一了 好象很长时间也没和她打实战了 感觉是我进攻她破坏了我的距离 但是我距离一近就不好出腿了 比分是落后的 不过找到了自己的缺点 以后想办法改进...恩 努力吧 实战每次都有收获就行 ~~

    集训日记13--7.15

    新生课 热身 步伐加前踢 横踢 下格挡 中格挡 上格挡
    明天检查女生的横竖叉

    集训课:热身跑步 一圈的辅助热身 侧滑步 单,双腿提膝 高抬腿 坐地一圈的单腿跳 高抬腿 冲刺 等等
    三人组 两人两头脚靶 横踢(左,右,换步)前横踢(左右直接)交叉步高位横踢加前横 
    两人组 护具技术靶*2组 + 俯卧撑30/组  
    对抗3组*3个不同人

    明天实战课 加油!

    集训日记12--7.14

    新生课:跑步 行进间热身 拉韧带
    今天主要教了横踢分解动作:控腿 一 二 三 四 提膝 转跨 弹腿 收腿   教练喊的慢 我的腿和腰都快抽筋了 呵呵 教练分组让黄带的去练后踢 我正要出列就被喊回来了 说让我和新生一起 我知道教练是让我好好练习基本功么 补差么现在不正是机会么~~~~ 横踢啊 好象比以前有点进步的 继续努力吧

    集训课:跑步 三里街3趟 韧带 快速脚靶--天热 体力也不好
    两人组护具 进攻 反击 还是最近那些强化的基本技术

    集训日记11--7.13

    新生课:热身 前踢 横踢

    集训课:热身
    技术把 两人组
