新加坡笔友Qing的来信（二）

筒子们，周末愉快！（晕，到底有多少人在注意本博 penmatters哦？！前面的朋友们，你们好吗？）

让我们来接着谈“怎样交外国 笔友”；本次我们会继续分析一封来自新加坡网友的英文信，来找一些点，充实大家的英文，以及延展大家写信交流的思路；

I have been reading and i just completed a book called "San Francisco Earthquake 1906". The earthquake part is of secondary importance but what i think is quite good about this book is that it sees through class, wealth and status as well as emotions. Guess i can read another book today which is called "An Old Fashioned Girl". If it is good, i will tell you more about it the next time.

Good luck to you. As a boy i guess you are obligated to doing more exhausting chores. As a girl myself, i have experienced the "privileges" of doing lighter work. Occassionally, important figures do come but regardless of that, there is a school clean up in my junior college every year. Once i remember in my year 1, the guys have to climb up the windows, move all the chairs and tables. Girls only have to wipe these tables and chairs clean, do some tidy up job. I was mopping the floor until one boy take over after he is done with his. It really made my day because i am not exactly good in housework. Be glad that you are born a stronger sex, at least physically.:-)) this must not be said in front of any extreme girls who preached sexual equality.

关于男女平等这个话题， 站长大人偶强烈建议大家在和欧美等国家的女性谈到的时候要注意。呵呵，由于西方的民主，平等观念的深入，很多女性是女权主义者feminist, 如果您不小心透露了轻视女生的话语和言辞，这些网友会觉得很不舒服哦。

I have heard of Dou wei and Yanni but i have not really heard of their music before. I can understand your difficulty of interpretating your feelings into words. It is a hindrance to me too. I listened to quite a lot of songs than music. I am not sure if the music that you are referring comes with lyrics, but i have to admit that lyrics plays very crucial role to install emotions in me.

 

There is a song by Boyzone which is called "Father and Son". I always like the music because it is very Irish sounding and soothing. it is further enhanced by the lyrics with tells a story through the son's perspective of his father who appears to be strict but deep down hidden behind his face shows his love and concern.

 

I do not think i can help you in any way for your oral English class since i have no expereince about a music review. However i feel for a song through the words and i think music serve as an appetizer that builds up feelings within a person and enhance a person's emotions further. A song with good lyrics but without an appropriate music is never good, vice versa.

 

A music without the need of any lyrics like that of Kenny-G, is good because it makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. Enigma's music is even better because it gives me this mystery, errie and antique feeling. Have it ever occur to you that when you listened to a piece of music and it gives you this deja vu feeling?

 

 

My mother's birthday is approaching, actually it is in December. My sister and i are thinking of cooking dinner for her. This is a "big project" for the both of us as we cannot cook.:->> Quite embarrassing. I went to borrow a cookbook from the library and luckily there are some recipee that only require the use of microwave. Wish me luck as we decided to try it out this weekend first before the actual day.

 

I have to go for now and write me back, okay?
