The 'Gravity'

The movie 'Gravity' was talking about a story of two brave astronauts. Their spacecraft didn't work and they wanted to fix it. Unfortunately, they failed. The male astronaut Matt lost his life in saving the female's life. After that, the female astronaut Ryan had to save her own life under the circumstance that she had to use a simple spacecraft to go back to the Earth. She tried many times but she failed. When she almost gave up, the image of the soul of dead Matt appeared in front of her and he inspired her so that Ryan became eager to go back to the Earth again. Finally, she made it.
      When I was watching the movie, I was very touched by the spirits shown by the two astronauts who took risks of completing the missions with great courage. Matt lost his own life in saving Ryan's and the scene of their bidding adieu to each other touched me deeply in the heart. At that time, I realized how great some people are as they devote all their life to their causes. I have to say I hadn't known the work of an astronaut could be so dangerous before watching this movie.
     Besides being touched, I was inspired much by the craving for life shown by Ryan. Sometimes people easily lose their hopes for life and they just stop struggling from fate. But Ryan didn't give up herself and she just thought about how to survive and did all what she could do to save her own life. After watching the movie, I asked myself whether or not I would do the same things and have the same firm belief as Ryan had if I meet the same problems. Then I hesitated to have an positive answer. But now, I can say I will never give up my belief in being alive until the last minute because I recall the scene that the soul of Matt encouraged Ryan to fight for herself and never give up. That really inspires me.
     Also, I have to say that it seemed to be a little hard for me to believe that Ryan could survive in such a dangerous and unassisted condition because the story happened in the space and she succeeded in returning to the Earth all by herself. But maybe it's just why it is called a movie. The uniqueness of movie is just that everything could happen in a movie.
     Although the story is a little bit hard to believe, the most impressive parts are the spirits and courage shown by the actors. For me, the 'Gravity' is amazing and, as a 3D movie, the visual effects are excellent . It's really a worth-watching movie.

Homeless but not familyless

On Sep.17th 2013,we had a wonderful experience in helping the homeless people in Denver,which made me know much more about the America.
To be honest,I have to say the homeless people in the U.S receive much more respect than the homeless people do in China.I do think it is not only the financial situation of a government which makes that difference,but also the kindness and the willingness of helping others work.
I also feel a little upset because I think my English was not good enough to understand all the things they told me and perhaps I didn't meet all their needs of service.But I tried my best and now after this experience,I have more motivation to improve my English so that I can help others better in the future.
Everyone may have the tough time in his life,but no one has the right to give up himself.Since life can be very difficult one day,why can't it become better in another day?Maybe you are homeless,but you're not familyless because there are so many people supporting you.
I really appreciate this experience and it makes me think much more than before.
