“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect  36 of Chinglish.

 Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a  37  English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American   38  . I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words could not 39__ me at all. So I did a   40  on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages  41 "Long time no see". This sentence has been 42   used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is 43   informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily.  44, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the   45    will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected. Nobody knows the 46   of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully 47   a world wide famous Chinese detective named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom 48   quoting Confucius. "Long time no see" was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, "Long time no see" became a 49 phrase in the real world 50 the popularity of these movies.

There’s almost nothing good about goodbyes, but if something is missed, it is because it was good. I’m not good at writing and I don’t think it’s   36   to write this article, but I really need to   

  37   people who helped me   38   this year – people who made   39   in a different country easier.

The first day I got here, I went to make my   40  , and of course, the first person I got to meet was Carla. That’s   41   she’s the first person I thank, because of all the help with classes and the   42   she had with me.

Since as an exchange student I can’t   43  , I would like to thank all the people that sometimes offered me   44  . Thanks to all the people that were nice to me,   45  . They were friendly   46   not knowing me, not   47  a good day themselves, not understanding my   48  .

There’s a lot more to be thankful   49  , but all I can say is that this was   50   the best year of my life, and part of   51  is because of some people I met in this new High School. Some of these people are already   52  , some are graduating, and some I just met this school year.

I strongly believe that friends are always friends, regardless of age,   53  , race or anything else. People in need deserve having a place in others’ hearts. All the friends I   54   there will always be on my mind. I’ll   55   them.

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on ,always conected, always thinking, always talking. There is no  36  for stillness.

And when we are  37  to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often  38  something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, other will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re  39  .

This comes at a   40  : we lose that time for  41  , for observing and listening. We lose peace.

And   42  yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crarily, but get  43  done.

Take a moment to think about  44  you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering  45  checking on the news and the latest tream of information? Are you always  46  through your schedule?

Is this how you want to spend your  47  ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be   48  . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already.   49  be in the moment.

Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d  50  it to be. See your life with less moveanent, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more  51  .

Then be that vision.

It’s prerty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.   52  you’re gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too  53  . slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of   54  for it.
