yeah, Happy Potter, Harry Potter
my roommate got up at 6 on 7-21, waited for an hour for the gift shop to open . i was so jealous because i just couldnt wake up- - Melv. I heard there's an online version because someone took pictures of the whole book and got people to type up everything to make a pdf file. Qing-er~Do you still use MSN?
People like us going to UofT should bond together and defeat the evilness of massive lecture halls...*dies* 原帖由 无情 于 2007-7-23 05:34 发表 http://bbs.aptx.cn/images/common/back.gif
Welcome!
It's really nice to see someone with such patience when it comes to learning a foreign language. With your determination, your English will improve gradually, one step at a time. So be pat ...
Thank you very much!

Ah... I knew it. I was trying so hard to prove to my friends that Severus is a noble person.
I knew Dumbledore would never beg to be spared. He was begging Severus to kill him.
I don't want to spoil the story but I meant more than that, more than which side Severus actually takes. What makes him noble and brave is - alas, Dumbledore again - love. 原帖由 TRUTH CN 于 2007-7-23 09:48 发表 http://bbs.aptx.cn/images/common/back.gif

Hey!(-7-)Why do you have to wait for the Chinese version if you can read English? Every online book store sells tons of copies of HP7. You can check out joyo/dangdang etc. If you live in one of some big cities, you can get one in your local Xinhua book stores also. Just go buy and read!(-8-)The second half of it is fabulous!(-9-) 原帖由 KUDONOYO 于 2007-7-23 14:05 发表 http://bbs.aptx.cn/images/common/back.gif

I think the English version is too expensive!The most important is, I afraid I don't understand theEnglish version book! Actually, I think that'stoodifficultfor me to do so, because of too many new words...(-33-) 原帖由 KUDONOYO 于 2007-7-23 13:59 发表 http://bbs.aptx.cn/images/common/back.gif

Yes, I heard about that...The newspaper had spoiled the ending of the story .
To be honest,at the beginning,I thought Severus was a bad guy.But after reading the HP4, my feeling changed. I guess maybe he is not so bad...Heseems to 'hate'
Harry,but he had some
specialreason to do so.
Now,it 's been proved...
About the love,I think there was ahint in HP4...
Sorry!Maybe Iam spoiling the story(-21-) I've only read the book up to chapter 12
Maybe it's just my "Summer Vacation of English Skills" but I'm so tired of Ms. Rowling's writings (not that the storyline is not attractive)...
My friend advised me to rest and I certainly did...
(-33-) And I thought Lita Skeeter learned to shut up

You don't have to concern about that. Everyone who can speak English fluently also comes from that diffcult time. Therefore,set up your confidence and make your move. (-15-)

Exactly.And, TRUTH san, the best way to get to know those new words is to read them in a story, not a dictionary. The context will help you relate the words to their meaning, but a dictionary can only help you relate them to their translation. Just move on, and good luck.
And as for the price... I think the English version is totally worth the price. I used to read Chinese versions when I was younger (much, much younger, as a matter of fact), and later, when I first moved to the English copies, I was completely spellbound. There are tricks and puns and puzzles and words between lines that just can't be translated into another language. And trust me, Ms Rowling is good at those. 原帖由 大肚肚 于 2007-7-24 02:47 发表 http://bbs.aptx.cn/images/common/back.gif

Rita is not afraid of Hermione any more... because the latter dares not show up in public. I guess she is the Undesirable No. 3, haha. 原帖由 KUDONOYO 于 2007-7-24 16:08 发表 http://bbs.aptx.cn/images/common/back.gif

are you all talking about Harry Potter?(-8-) I suppose so.
By the way, nice avatar Melv. ^^ I've finished it, and my best friend told me to repeat the whole story to her in details= =
That was challenging, I was forgetting some of the stories and I just said Rowling whenever that happened(-8-)
After all it's Ms. Rowling who made the story too complicated for me to remember...(-7-)
This might be too early
Anybody wants to tell us your plan for next school year?I will be a 12 grader(-17-) so that sucks for me. I will be mainly working on my college applications next year. I have a list of 15 schools that i want to apply. Maybe I will be able to narrow it down a little bit- - but yes, that's still a lot of works to do.
I just hope the entrance essays won't be so hard- -
and my AP courses, I took 5 this year.- - (-17-)
orientation is tomorrow, so I'm back to school , well, almost. Yay! A brand new topic! This is great! ^^
I don't really know what I have next year exactly, because I haven't picked my courses yet.
I know I'll be going to university, and that's about it.
Ani: Sorry, Ani. I can't take Japanese with you next year. I realized that I must take physics to keep my options open. I'm so sorry. T-T My dad said Japanese would be great for 拉分, but he also said it wouldn't be as useful to my career as physics would: physics enables me to get to the specialist level if necessary.
