24th June’s meeting was still a old friends’ gathering. 6 members of CD joined this meeting. Though it was a scorching hot day, the mood was active and festive. We talked about women’s right, handsome football players, aging society problem…and so on.
Jokes
Usually we hope all of couples have happy life, but for them, most of time life is so cruel. Let us listen Ella’s joke.
A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. After his checkup , the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He told her, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress . If you don't do the following , your husband will surely die...Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant , and make sure he is in a good mood . For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores , as he probably had a hard day. Don't discuss your problems with him, it will only make his stress worse . And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim . If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely." On the way home, the husband asked his wife. "What did the doctor say?" She replied, "You're going to die”!
Impromptu speech
This session’s theme was women’s right. All men really wanted to express their opinion on Chinese women’s right. Of cause, the host gave them the chances.
The first topic was about the women’s right situation in China. Sunny thought Chinese ladies’ right was excessive feminism. They not only enjoyed the over care and concern from men, but also wanted the independence. They couldn’t got both of them. But the society have condoned them.
Of cause, all of the ladies in the meeting disagreed with him. Huh, You can imagine that the atmosphere was so warm. A lot of words were waiting to him.
The third topic was prepared for ladies, Ella took the opportunity. The host asked her whether she would choose to be a housewife in the future. This is also a popular topic, men also wanted to express a view. Ella is a professional and fashionable lawyer, she preferred to continue to work after she married.
Prepared speech
Austin is a foody, all members knows that. As a foody, he faces too much temptation in life. But his body still very slim and healthy, do you want to know why? Listen to his speech, “how to deal with the temptation of food”.
He introduced three ways to control his mind when he faced the delicious food.
1. To try to consider your long term goal—losing weight. Then you will remind yourself to pay attention to the healthy life style.
2. To think it over. You can think why do you want the food. Food we eat is satisfied your taste or your body’s needs. When you consider the deep needs, you will make a right decision.
3. To distract your attention. Which is easy to understand. You can do some other things when you are attracted by delicious food.
But, as the saying goes, Easier said than done, let& dots pay more attention to practice.
Discussion
Because we spent too much time on impromptu speech. We didn’t have enough time on discussion session. The host chose 2 topics on this session. 1st is about recent hot game—the FIFA world cup. 2nd is about aging society problem.
It is so interesting that all of us are not football fans. But we all think the main attraction of football game is the result in a way different from what was expected. The ladies focus on handsome bodies of the football players, and the men focus on the playing skills of the teams.
We gave some suggestion on aging society problem.
• For the government:
1. The country should not control the population.
2. To postpone the retirement age.
3. To improve the infrastructure and living environment for old people, strengthen urban management and service.
4. To build the nursing home and retirement centers.
• For the old people:
5. The old people should have their own way to afford their life. Such as managing money matters, buying some houses…
6. To live with friends who are in the same age, share life together.
• For young people:
7. The children should pay attention to both body health and mind health of their parents.
8. The young people should know we are in the new era, ‘raising children to provide against old age’ is not a right way. So we should plan our old life from now. Huh. Anyway healthy life style is very important for the youth.
Summary
This meeting was so active and positive. We enjoyed the talking, shared the life view. Good and warm atmosphere made us happy. The inadequate preparation made the process of the meeting not smooth. Time is out of control.
