| Writer / time | Topic: Who"s a better singer: Andy Lau or Jacky Cheung? |
| Andyfan 1-17-2005 2:45p. m. | Some people say Jacky is the best Chinese singer. I don"t think so! Andy is the best. I went to his concert last year. It was so hard to believe, I almost cried! OK, I did cry, but that"s because Andy is so handsome! |
| 1000 reasons 1-17-2005 4:38 p.m. | I don"t agree at all. Andy sounds like every other singer. His voice is nothing special. On the other hand, Jacky"s voice is different from others, and his songs are so romantic! |
| Movieman 1-18-2005 8:55 p.m. | I think they"re about the same. But Andy is really a better actor. I"ve seen almost all of his movies. Remember the one where he was an airplane pilot, and his plane crashed near a farm? I love that film! |
| Lindalee 1-18-2005 10:17a.m. | I also think Jacky is a better singer. I prefer his Cantonese songs. Maybe they sound better because Cantonese is his first language. |
| 1000reasons 1-18-2005 12:47 p.m. | I agree. Jacky"s Cantonese songs are better than his Mandarin (普通话) songs. (Though, I still like all his songs!) |

| When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend for new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale (销售). There are labels (标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing in cold water. The label on a coat may say"dry clean only." Washing may ruin (损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions (说明) say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check (核实) to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made.

| Eating habits (习惯) are different in different countries. The Chinese have a saying "Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner." Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different. Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work. Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating.Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world. If someone is talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant will look at him or her angrily. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager (经理) of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet. | |
