Some thing to write

I am sitting in the library to try to find something to post on my blog. Many students are studying or just checking the mail. Also lots of people just checking the face books and pictures etc..

i am just realizing computer became one of the important part of our life. Somehow i did not have internet at my new home that i just moved in. The first two days was hard to not have internet to chat and to check my mails. But now i am quiet okay with doing it at the library. How come something become part of your life and we all really accept it. Its just matter of technology also same time as a human being we create the tool to entertain our self. lots of people are working to find ways to people have something to do during their spare time and make the life easy. We are creating our life by our self. Which is has good and bad parts. But most of people try to avoid the down side of the creation of human. However, we do have big possibility to attracted by it any way.

NAADAM FESTIVAL

Dear all

I would like to share about Mongolian national festival with you this time.

"Naadam" festival is the most famous celebration across the country. Its called the three manly sports: wrestling, archery and horse racing. Naadam is celebrated across the country and every town and village will celebrate. In Ulaanbaatar (capital city), wrestling takes place in the main Naadam stadium. The Naadam stadium will be full of people dressed in costumes representing all Mongolia’s ethic groups. Archery competitions are outside the stadium everywhere, while the famous, perilous horse races take place ourside the city.

Wrestling

Wrestling is the most popular of all Mongol sport. Mongol-style wrestling originated some seven thousand years ago. The technique of Mongolian wrestling is distinctly national. There are no weight categories or age limits in Mongolians national wrestling.

Horse-racing

The horses for the Naadam races are selected a month before the big day. They are then taken separate from the herd and trained. The riders children are 5 to 12. Mongolian children of these ages are good riders, as both boys and girls have been riding since three years old. As the popular saying goes, “The nomad is born in the saddle”. Small saddles are made especially for children, but they usually prefer to ride without them. The distance varies according to the ages of the horses.

Archery

Information about archery can be found in literary and historical documents of the 13th century and even before. The distance is about 75 meter for men and 60 meter for women. Men shoot about 40 arrows and must score not less than 15 points and women shoot 20 arrows and must score at least 13 point using the same bow as the men.

Football game

On Friday i was able to see football game in McMahon stadium with friends. That was my first time to see the north American footfall game. The game was between Calgary and BC. The Calgary team won the game and had big fire works after the game. The Calgary team had a man with horse running half of the stadium when they get score so that was one of the interesting part. Also I felt like more home that way. Beside the game i was able to see the Canadian culture such as people gather together for game enjoy the time. Friday was bit chilly with wind but the stadium was almost full. So I see its one of the sport that lots of people could enjoy and spend time together. I am glad that had the chance to see part of Canadian culture. Looking forward to experience and discover more of the country and enjoy. Thanks for reading it.

Place to be..

I like to travel around the world. I like to go to Mexico and one of the place in Africa. I am sure that must be great to experience different culture and life styles. I would be very happy if i have the chance and time for it. Its something i like to do when i am still young. I heard lots of interesting stories from people who are being in Africa. So i want to really see it. The landscape is also very nice and of course the people and tradition would be totally different. One of the very facinating thing i expect to see in Africa is the wild animals. Mexico is interesting because of the life style and beautiful beaches they have. Its fun place to be. So lets see if i could make it soon and if i do then i would love to share the experciences with all of you.

Budget

Making budget is not easy. Having a budget makes your life easy after you have made it. We should have a list of things that we are going to do or spend on for. For example books, tuition fee and food etc.. Do not forget to include small necessities like make up, nails and massages... Everyone must have a budget for emergencies and the money in that budget should not be touched until you are really in a desperate situation. Budgets are a fun thing to do because we never realize how much we spend for certain things.

Rainy days

Rainy days bring me time to sit at home and do things that i haven't done for a long time. I went through my pictures and sorted out all of them. I wish i could do something more fun outside even it's raining.

Presenting and listening to presentation

When presenting presentationI need to pay attention to:


*Speaking in presentation getting the main point
*How to start, from where
*To get the attention of an audience
*Managing the time was challenging


Be ready for questions that needed to be answered. If someone ask further information that you do not have available least have the source to get the information. Also not just present words need to snow graphic and picture explanations.

Listening presentation
Listening presentation was fun than presenting presentation. I could learn from the presenter and also get the idea how to set the presentation and organize the hall time.
When need to interrupt the audiences and ask questions. I do pay more attention to the areas that I am weak for more when I listen presentation. Try to take note on tips during that time also need to get the hand out if available.

A Happy Memory

My childhood happy memory was the time i participated synchronized swimming show for the national day of Mongolia. I practiced a lot for the snow beside my school almost six days of the week. Synchronized swimming is the great team work and also three event rolled in to one; gymnastics, dance and swimming. Synchronized swimming was very new in Mongolia that time so not many children know and learn. We received invitation to participate to the reception of National day celebration recognized as synchronized swimming team. That was big honor for us and also we all went to government house first time and shacked our hands with the President. My parents never though that i could do such a thing and also i kept that as surprise for them. I learned lot from the that time such as able to experience a team work, make friends and also surprised my parents nice way.

The color association

Every country has different association with colors.


Mongolia:

Blue - Sky and Mongolian babies born with blue spot on the back

Colors help patient to get well quicker.

Live your life in full color.*

EAP Writing Chapter 1 Part 1
10 May 2008

Ever since Bill Gates developed the Microsoft windows, the rest of the world need to communicate in English if they want to use the program. That’s why I want to study English.
My experience in the government area for five years motivated me intrinsically to obtain the major in the specialty of international relations. The career which I am seeking after is closely related with present Mongolia to other countries that we have a bilateral agreement with. It will one of the great opportunity to introduce Mongolian culture, history and life to others and exchange the experience in different levels.
Traveling, experience challenges, to see different part of the world and meet new people would be my first choice that I would make when I have spare time and swimming would be the second. Talking and being around with English native speakers is one of the ways that I improve my English out of class as well as watching English programs on TV. The difficult thing about learning English and the skills I need to improve are writing and grammar. These are the most challenging parts I will face when I go to college to have my professional study. Talking about my favourite way of learning English, I think learning by speaking is an easier way for me to learning English. For the time being I am a student of English academic program in Canada since May 2008 and this is the only course I have singed up for.
