Today, I took my G2 road test. Unfortunately, I failed. Obviously, the first time is always a surprise. However, I angered why the road test officer spoke so quietly. She was lazy to open more wide of her mouth. I made 3 more big mistakes in the road test such as turn left, turn right slowly and cut corner. The biggest mistake I should not make. When I turned left, I watched the front road’ car, but I forgot watching the pedestrians. That was a big mistake, and the officer braked my car. What a shame! I thought I could pass it at one times, but I did not. Do you know how much to rent a car for road test. $80 , just for about 20 minutes road test ,  2 hour to reach road test’s place and back home. That costed me $80. This was not a big price. I negotiated with the car owner. Usually, It cost $120 for renting. 

Therefore, I won’t take the second road test unless I have a plan to buy or to lease a car. Because I have to pass G licence test at least. If not, I have to do the same thing in next 5 yeas.

Culture shock is a popular topic in those countries where foreign people like to immigrant to such as Canada, USA.

However, what is the culture shock? Culture shock is that people who emigrant from their home country and immigrant into their new country, but both countres’ culture are different. Those people’ thinking conflict with their new country people’s thinking. Nonetheless, those new comer do not know how to release their depress, in addition Canadian people are so polite even other people do a wrong thing, they just say ” it is ok”. Only a few Canadian people shout out. Therefore, the problem come out. The new comers unfamiliar to this new environment. In general ways, they will argue each other even fight each other in their country, but in the new country, they have to learn the customer, have to learn the polite, have to tolerate people who  shout at them even though the new comers can not get use to forgiving, but they have to show they are polite. Moreover, they feel they represent their ethnics, they can’t show their ugly faces to the Canadians.

Window Live mail 是一个由微软件开发的免费邮件收发软件.这跟其它的本地收发软件没有什么不一样的,只是偶然的机会我用了它.我在装MSN的同时随便试用了它.Window Live mail可以收发任何一种邮件系统的邮件. 我用它收发了Gmail和hotmail的邮件. 我以前用window系统本身提供的,到现在已经有好几年了,邮件收发软件到现在还没有质的变化. “同步”是一个很重要的改进.”同步”就是本地收到的邮件和删掉的邮件数目跟邮件服务器上的一样.也就是说,两个平台控制一个内容.但是我在用Window Live mail的时候,我认识到这个”同步”如同虚设.在本地删掉的邮件,网页上还存在.换另一句话说,我要用两倍的精力来管理我的邮件. 为什么呢,因为万一我的系统又重装了,我本地的已经整理过的资料没了而网上的还没”同步”过. 我还要重新做一次. 

Window Live mail设的其它email也是要下载的,有些邮件是垃圾邮件也是要下载.那用这个Window Live mail还不如直接用网页打开.难道没有人能开发一种邮件收发软件就如用网页打开一样,真正的”同步”,本地的跟网页上的一模一样,这样即使系统重装也不会造成损失.
