this afternoon, american ambassor Mrs Herbold came to our school.
it was a success, of course. in my opinion, the ambassador was quite smart. she always tried to avoid the acute questions. but, in a sense, she would like to talk more about the america's democracy and all are good points.
i like this one much better than the japanese ambassador's talk. i don't mean that i dislike japan. japan is really a good country, developed and clean. but at that day, the ambassador made me quite disappointed. he also avoided the questions, but his way was more awkward. he didn't answer the question at all. from that time, i had an impression on him: if there is a problem he cannot solve, just avoid it and never care. or ambiguous
american ambassador was a kind old lady. she often tried to make the atomsphere realaxing(the japanese old man make us tense and sleepy). i really can understand that she could not talk about events like china and taiwan; neclus help to india; iraqi war etc. she always tried to talk nicely in order to make us feel better to america's policies. i think that's correct and that's what an ambassador should do in response.
diplomatism is sleek. diplomats can always find a way to uphold their countries. this makes me think of our great diplomat, zhou enlai. it was he who solved a lot of diplomatic problems when the PRC was initially founded. there are many stories on him about how he get rid of the embrassment. i adore him.
will i become a diplomat someday? maybe... nevertheless, i believe i can get great improvement in my englilsh studying. anyway, i must always believe in myself

Your response to the Ambassador's visit is interesting. However, Fayang, as this is a reading portfolio blog, you'd need to respond as well to an article you've read.
