My name is Zhengyuan Yu.This is the very first time that I come to United States.I was born in Nanjing(anyone who was born in Nanjing,please shout out).My family and I move to Shanghai when I was 16.But still,I can't speak shanghainese.So some may say,you spend your 5 years in Shanghai and still can not speak Shanghainese?For me,Shanghainese is almost like a foreign language.Most importantly,people surround me don't speak shanghainese often.Learning a foreign language is difficult for us at our age because we have alrealy grown a chinese tongue and chinese logic.We think as well as speak in a chinese way which is quite different from English.So hard as it is,I am gonna conquer it.
I like photographing.My father bought a professional DSLR in 2009.After that,I began to love photographing.Being a photographer requires a person to be sensitive enough to suroundings,brave enough to take photos of strangers,patient enough to wait for the right timing.A successful photographer is always a good communicator.I found the most difficult part of photographing is taking pictures of people.In contrast to scenery,people are more alive,variable,especially in their face.I found a lot of fun in observing people's facial expression and catching smiles of them.Of course,I'm not a photographer.Just for fun:)
I like music.But it is a pity for me that I can't play any instrument(maybe some guitar).I listen to Tchaikovsky since I was a little boy.I began to love pop music when I was in junior high school.Backstreet boys,westlife,as well as Britney Spears.But now,Backstreet boys no longer publish album as good as they did before;Britney neither(personal view).Fortunally,I found an awesome band----Coldplay!I am waiting for their new album this year and it is coming.People is growing up all the time,but hardly their favorite musicians.A band or a singer is belong to a particular generation and this generation is probably not going to like other bands.Like
Elvis Presley for the 50s,The Beetles for the 60s(Surely both of them are classical).
When it comes to America,I would like to say this is a beautiful country.Blue sky,green grass,squirrels all around.People here are warm-hearted and polite.Columbus is a wonderful place.So what makes United States such a beautiful country?I'm a chinese so I always have a desire to make a comparison between China and America.I find American people live for the life,while chinese people live by the life.This is specially for the reason that China has a huge poplution and people are driven by the living pression.

Now,away from parents and friends in China,though I may feel lonely sometimes,I have more chance to get to know new people around the world and learn leading knowledge in my major.There is no unconditional gain.
In the end,nice to get to know you guys,hope we have a good time in Composition 106.
