Celine Dion is one of my favorite singers, I like her songs. When I searched some information about her, I found more about Celine Dion’s music career. She had ever failed in her life, but she still returned to music to keep her music opinion. I thought no matter how many problems you got before, if you still kept your belief, you would make your dream come true. In addition, I found a common from very singer. They all used their own music to express what they think about to the audiences. To be a good singer that is use their life to sing their music and never stop.

“Because you loved me” ---this song is a smash fit from Celine Dion’s “Falling into you “album. It was written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster for the film “Up Close &Personal”. I first heard this song in high school when I was in China from my CD player. I personal believe it was a wonderful pop song. Every time i listened to it, i will get many magic dreams and enjoy the beautiful melody. Even through this song was released in 1996, it still can be listened around the world today.

Academy Award movie---“Brave Heart”

The people who have ever seen the movie---“Brave heart”, they have never forgotten the sense of when William Wallace used the rest of his strength to cry out "Freedom!" at the end. As the sense comes with emotional background music, it strikes deep into the minds of the people until the end.

“Brave heart” won the 68th Oscars best movie award in 1996, include this award it totally won five awards. This movie reorganized and based on a fact event in Scotland. The main actor William Wallace was a real historical hero in the history of Scotland. The director and main actor of the movie was the same person ---Mel Gibson.

Reasonably, it is a very positive movie. It will help audiences to recognize the history and understand one kind of people who can fight for their freedom without thinking about their life.

Reflection on Technology

Technology already become one of important parts in our daily life. Many of productions that we used also rely on technology. As if cell phones, iPods, CD players, washing-machines, cameras, electronic dictionaries, Televisions and computers....... We cannot live without some of these high technological productions. It still has more and more new technological devices appeared and produced by new discovery, and always comes out with people’s requirement.

I think one kind of new technological devices will be developed in the future. It is the robot that can help people to do their housework. These robots will reduce people’s burdens, and have been a fashionable housekeep in the world. If the price can be cut down, it will be more popular and easier to people to accept it. Finally, I still feel technology is a benefit in our normal life. It shows us that our living standard has had a perceptible improvement. Therefore, technology can be one way to express the pop culture and filled with people’s daily life.
