music concert
Because of the amazing concert, I just lost in the music for a long time. Ms. Lieurance and her partners played a perfect music which consists of piano, cello and pipe. They focused on playing songs and had a great concert for the audiences. In the concert, I observed that other audiences often waved their hands or heads with the music rhythm and closed their eyes to enjoy the beautiful music. Our classmates are all enthusiastic of the music. They always lost themselves in the melodies. Although we know little about the music style and knowledge, we feel the songs in the concert are all elegant music. We just can say a word in Chinese: the songs only in the heaven.
After the concert, we interviewed the pianist Barbara Lieurance. We have a good time with them and have a good night.

the trip to Harvard University
The field trip on last Friday was my second time visiting Harvard University. Since the last visit was so rushed and incomplete. This another chance delighted me at the beginning. We took about twenty minutes to get Harvard. Harvard University is located in Cambridge. The main campus is centered on Harvard Yard in central Cambridge and extends into the surrounding Harvard Square neighborhood. The weather was hot, and air was moist. It is seems like that day was a good day for going out. However, this kind of opportunity which visits one of the best university in the world is precious. Therefore, I encouraged myself to finish it. Luckily, this time we had a tour guide who lead us to walk around the campus and introduced those famous sights and the history and the stories of them. One of the most interesting sights is the statue of John Harvard whose one of his feet is blond. It is said that by touching the foot, people will have good luck. A misunderstanding about John Harvard is many people think he was the founder of Harvard. In fact, he is just an important figure in the history of Haward University. As most buildings on campus were built at least decades and some were even built hundreds years ago, the Engineering and Science Department is exceptionally conspicuous for it's modern architecture. It sent me and probably many other tourists that Harvard University is preserving it's particular tradition and characteristic through past hundreds of years and at the same time, it is also a place in which inspiration and innovation take place.
