FUN WITH COOKIE

Paul: “I have been working for this company for ten years, however they chose the new guy for promotion (升职) over me.”

Julia: “Well, that’s just the way the cookie breaks into pieces.”

This is an informal expression that means bad things happen in life and there is nothing you can really do to prevent it. It’s not worth getting sad; you should just try and accept it calmly.

Of course in the UK we would generally use the word “biscuit” instead of cookie when talking about those hard baked, sweet, flat cakes which are so popularly eaten with a cup of tea. Cookie is originally a Dutch term meaning little cake and has spread to the United States because of immigration (移民) from Holland.

Also in the US we can find “fortune cookies” which are usually served with Chinese food. However they are almost unknown in mainland China and were invented in California by Asian immigrants. They are crisp cookies with pieces of paper inside, on which are written clever sayings, prophecies (预言) or words of wisdom.

A Cookie in computing is a collection of information which is used by websites to know users who have visited the site before. They are stored on your computer when you use the Internet, and also you will find the websites you used easily.

Gulangyu,a beautiful island in Xiamen,Fujian,was successfully listed in the UNESCO World Heritage(世界文化遗产)on July 8th,2017.It’s not only the pride of my hometown,but also the pride of the whole nation.

Gulangyu is separated from Xiamen by the 600-metre-wide Egret River(鹭江), with an area of 1.91 square kilometers. It’s like a garden on the water. You can go there only by ships. Cars, buses and bikes are not allowed to run on the island. It is so quiet that wherever you go, you can hear the sound of playing the piano. As a result of this, it is called “the island of music”.

The first name of the island was Yuanzhouzi. In the Ming Dynasty it was changed as Gulangyu, meaning “drum waves”.Because the holes in the southwestern reefs (暗礁)hit by the waves make sounds like the drum beating.

Today, Gulangyu is listed as one of the nation’s major travelling places of interest here include the Sunlight Rock,Shuzhuang Park,Gangzihou Bathing Beach and Memorial Hall to Zheng Chenggong,which are visited by millions of people from all parts of the country and the world.What’s more,the buildings and food are popular with visitors.

Therefore, I hope our government can protect the fairyland well,especially the environment.
