How to Become a clay animator

How to Become a Clay Animator
Haruka

Clay animator is one of most exciting job I think, but it is hard to be it. First of all, you are interested in not only to create something using clay but also to make a story very much. Many clay animators were crazy about making something and reading books when they were children. Nick Park who is a famous clay animator made a short story of “W & G” using some clay characters when he was a secondary school student. Second, you should enter an art school. Even though you love to make something with clay very much, it is impossible to be a clay animator without ability. In an art school, you had better learn not only to make something with clay but also to sketch, knowledge of clay, patience to make something and importance of teamwork. Third, you ought to enter a company of clay animation. It is possible to be a clay animator if you don’t enter it. However it is difficult to earn. In Nick case, he started own company about clay animation after he had worked clay animation company a few years. You don’t need capacity and license to be a clay animator though they are very few people to be able to earn as clay animator, but a clay animator can give dreams to children, so this job is very nice and enjoyable.

The plans of my future--Victor

The plans of my future
Victor
I was born in a educated family, and both of my parents were graduated from university. My father was a manager of a big state enterprise. My dream is to act like my father since I was seven years old. My major is business. My father helped me to choose it, and I believed that his choice was right. Because I am interested in the field of business, and his judgment is always right. At present, my goal is to become a manager of a company or work in a bank. So my first step is to graduate from TRU. And then I would like to take the MBA. After that, I plan to find a job, and accumulate the most important thing—work experience. At that time, I will have two choices. One is to stay in Canada and get a high position and salary if possible. The other one is to go back to China and look for a job of the management in a company or bank. Both of them are hard and full of barriers. However, I still have enough confidence and power to solve the problems. I will do my best to make my dream come true.

How to become a Teacher

There are several steps becoming a teacher. First, I have to finish my studying at TRU, because to become a really good teacher you have to learn a lot of things such as: grammar, literature, communication, psychology, and many other things. My teachers say that I do very well so far. Then, after I finish my program, I am going to do some practice. It will help me to use my skills and to train my sociability. It will also help me to understand other people characters and personalities, and to be patient during the teaching process. Finally, I will teach other people. This is the thing I always dreamed about. It will help me not only to give something to the others, but to find out something interesting and pick it up from different people. Therefore, these are the most important steps for me, so I can become a teacher.

Tony's stuff.How to be.......

How to be an Art Designer

I already graduated from the Art Design Program in high school in China. My dream is to be a well-known art designer. But it is very hard. Studying art design was a part of my difficult experience. There are four steps to be an art designer. First, you must study some basic art skills. You can start at the charcoal drawing and canvas. Of course, if you can do it very well, you can also try to become the second Da Vinci. Second, you must do thinking exercises. You must have special thoughts and different ideas with new things. You should accept the new things very quickly, and keep the larruping ideas in your head. Third, you should do hard works by yourself. You should never depend on other people. You should have more backbone to make you keep on working and never give up, because there are so many difficult troubles if want to become a designer. If you get any mistake, you must preside over the whole thing. That means to be a successful designer you must have pressures and responsibility five times more than other people. Then, you must have good eyesight. You need always observe new style, new stuff and new development. After your observation, you can sum up the new viewpoints and discover the new originality by yourself. Finally, if you finish those four steps, you will be a well-known designer. Although it is very hard, I will keep trying, and I never give up until my dream comes true.

My First Day of School
Bowie


It was 1990, the first time that I went to school. That year I moved to a new

environment because my parents changed their jobs from one country to another.

I still remember that special day. I woke up late and when I knew it, I was running

to the washroom and then quickly wore my new pink suit which is my mom bought

two days ago. After a long time walking with my mom, I came to my first class. In

there, I saw my friendly teacher and nice classmates. Even though, we are the first

time meeting each other, I thought I loved them very much. On e the class, we

introduced each other an I felt that was really wonderful because I met lots of new

friends on the first day of school. At the end of the day, my mom came and went

back and went back with me. How a beautiful day it is.

Vika.
My first day of school.
It was 1994 and I had just finished the kindergarten. From day to day I was waiting for the first of September. At last the time had come to go to school. It was special day in my life and I woke up quite early. On the table stood the bouquet of flowers for my first teacher and near my bed hung a white ironed blouse and a black pleated skirt. My room smelt of mum’s perfume and carnations. There were pretty childish curls on my head and beautiful earrings. I was a little nervous on that day but I was quite anxious to see my new teachers and classmates. Step by step, I felt that I had become adult. All the time when my parents and I were going to school I was looking at my black shining shoes with bright butterflies and was listening to the sound of my little shoes clicks. There were a lot of nosy children. Some of them were very enthusiastic, they always asked the questions and shook their bouquets, other children just held their parents hands and were looking around the territory of the school. I met my friend from kindergarten so I felt confident and was quite talkative. When we entered our class we began to introduce ourselves and of course the first was our teacher, a woman with curly brown hair and average built. She looked very kind and cute. Then, we played different games and tried to know each other. That day was a little strange but special for me. I don’t forget it.

My first day of elementary school
Jimmy

In my life,my first day of elementary school is very important . In that morning, my mother woke up early and to prepare my stuff for my first day. When I arrived at the school, I started to cry. Then, my mother told me that she would come back soon and said that if I didn’t cry again, she would give me a toy. After I stoped crying, my mother carried me to my new class. Then, our new teacher let us introduce ourselves. I still remember that a beautiful girl was sitting next to me. Suddenly, I felt anxious and worried. That’s why my face became red .After I finished introduction, my teacher started to choose a bandsman. Unfortunately, I was chosen without reason, because I didn’t know how to play any instrument. My feeling was so confusing at first day of elementary school. There had happy things and sad things. That’s my excited first day .

I remember the first school day, teacher let us made 10 small groups by our selves. There were two peoples in each group. Everyone must shaking hands with your partner. In lucky, I got a pretty female partner, so I was shaking her hands with she whole the morning. My face was red like an apple. After that, I cried when the class began. I told the teacher I missed my family. I wanted to go back soon. The teacher was very angry about this. Many people cried in the first class, but I think I was the loudest! Then, I went to the washroom in the break time. I made a big mistake, when everyone was looking at me. I went in the wrong washroom, I went in the lady’s one! Oh, my god! God forgive me! Later, when we finished the class, I waited for my father come and pick me back to home. I waited outside the wrong gate! That was a terrible day! That was my first day of my class, it is a funny memory!

The first time, I went to TRU, it showed me what a beautiful and compatible university
First, I entered at EASTGAE, went down the road, and turned left, then I found the
SCIENCE/HEALTH SCIENCE Building at my left side. I think it is difficult to see,
Because many green trees are around it. At the other side of the road, I found the
CULINARY ARTS Building, then go along the road, I can see the OLD MAIN Building.
The INTERNATIONAL Building is at the north-west of the OLD MAIN Building.
Although the OLD MAIN Building has 2 floors, inside of it is huge. Behind the
INTERNATIONAL Building is a big car park. If you stand at the INTRNATIONAL

my first day of school.. dominique

First day in my new school

I will never forget my first day of school because was the beginning of new student adventures. First, my mom was excited preparing everything for that day. Second, I was very clean and pretty with a big smile in my face, just ready to meet new friends. Then my daddy made me a huge breakfast and a delicious lunch for my break time. Third, I was in front of my new school and when I got inside I started to be nervous so my mom holded my hand and told me “ you don’t have to be afraid is going to be a very good experience and you will remember that forever. Her words make me feel more relaxed and comfortable. After that, I was sitting in the second chair close to the door when the teacher just came in. The first time I saw my teacher I thought “she is fat and ugly with a serious personality”. But when she started to talk, I changed my mind. Maybe the thing that made me change my opinion was that her personality made us feel security and comfortable. Next, I met a new friend he was really cute and nice. We had many things in common. Finally, my first day ended with the most beautiful experience and I was ready for the next day with more new adventures.

Marcelino's firts day of school

My First Day of School

In 1990, when I was three years old, a new period of my young life began, when I started school. That day was so scary for me. First I woke up like a normal day without knowing what was waiting for me. My mom dressed me in a white shirt, black shiny shoes, and brand new Gales prince shorts, my hair was slicked back and I was ready for my new adventure. Then, when I arrived to school I was so nervous, I felt lost in a color full classroom with lots of nice drawings and animal pictures. After some minutes, the teacher made us introduce with other kids, and we started talking, that it is how I knew some of my current friends. After the first difficult moments, I started feeling okay of being there. Also because the teacher was so nice and polite with all of us. At the end of the day, we could play for a while and finally she gave us a tootie-pop. The next days were easier, and that it is how I started my life long learning process.

My first day of school

Actually I can’t remember my first day of school clearly, but I remember I was very unhappy when I arrived to school the first time. It was 1994, before I went to school, my mother told me that I had to listen to the teacher, and she also told me the teachers and the students were friendly. But when I first arrived at school I found it was different from what my mother said. I felt everyone was the stranger, and I even couldn’t look at them, because I didn’t like to talk to people when I was a child. I kept quiet and sat in a corner of the classroom, so I was very nervous and felt very lonely. In addition, I wanted to see my mother at that time, but she wasn’t there. I probably thought she just left me at that place, and would never come back again. I began to be very sad. Therefore, the only thing I knew was I didn’t like the school at all, and I was really scared when I first went to school.

My First Day of School

My First Day of School
Haruka
My first day at school was so exciting. Before I entered an elementary school, I had looked forward to going school very much. The reason was that many students seemed to enjoy their school lives. In front of the gate of the elementary school, my heart beat fast. Of course it was caused not by nerve but excitement. First, we took part in an entrance ceremony. Speeches of many famous people were just boring for me. While people spoke, I was thinking about new friends and teachers. After the ceremony finished, I ran to my new classroom. When I opened a wooden sliding door, It smelled like new wood. In the room, some students already had been there. They looked friendly. Then a teacher came in. She said very kindly, “Please put your bag on the floor and have a seat.” Her smile and voice made me calm. My first day was as good as I had expected.

My first day of school
Long time ago, It was 1994 and I was seven years old when I went to the school in the first day.My mother drove me to the terrible elementary school. It was a very unfamiliar environment for me. First, I was very scared about the school and I looked around. I saw many strange children that I never met before, that’s why I was so quiet on that day. Then, my mother wanted to go back to her work, but I asked her to stay with me. Next, she told me everything would be fine and she would come here to pick me up as soon as possible. I trusted her. Then she left. My teacher came to stand in front of me and she brought me to the noisy classroom. By the way, my teacher is a very young lady who was so pretty and kind. I just stayed in my seat and only looked at the beautiful teacher. After a while, I fell asleep. When I woke up, the class ended. I saw my mother come to pick me up, I was so happy. The feeling felt like I won the big prize of the lottery. In the end of that day, my mother and I went home together with our smiles. Also, I could feel Mr. Sunny smiling at us. My first day had a wonderful ending and a sweet memory.

My first day of school was a good day for me because I made many new friends. I remembered my first time went to school I was my seven years old. I wore a white dress, a pair of white shoes and my hair was ponytail . I was a little nervous and excited when my parents driving to school. There were so many students and noisy in the school. My parents said “goodbye” to me at the school gate, then I followed my teacher to go to my classroom. My teacher was an old lady who told us “you can talk with your classmates as much as you can, you will become friends.” I was very shy so I did not talk with others. My neighbour was a voluble girl who talked with others all the time, but I just sat there and looked them. A moment later, she turned back and started talking with me and I found we had the same habits. I found that was a funny thing. Finally, we became good friends. I also made other new friends at that day. At the end of the day, I was so happy that I had some new friends.

My first class in elementary school was a terrible experience in my life. The night before, my mother and I prepared things I need for school together, such as uniform, bag, shoes, and hat. I put that stuff next to me. And then, I went to sleep. The next day, my mother woke me up about seven o’clock. I wore a pink suit, white shoes, an orange hat, and taking the Hello Kitty bag. Then, my mother took me to school. When we arrived to school, I started to cry. I saw a lot of people I had never seen before. I was so scared . I didn’t want to stay there anymore. After that, a teacher came to me. She smiled to me and gave me a huge. She looked so kind. I was very nervous. My motherstayed with me all day in school.

I came to this school in winter. I wore a white outer clothing, Nike shoes, and blue jeans to school. I remember my hair was long to the eyes and ears. My class had thirty people. My first middle class teacher was a female, She looked very young. She taught us many things.

Andy's first day of school

My First Day of School
Andy

I felt afraid and uncomfortable on my first day of school. In the beginning of the day, I woke up earlier than the days before. I brushed my teeth and ate my breakfast. After that, I wore my pure white uniform with a school badge sewed with blue and red thread on the left pocket of the shirt. The uniform made me felt uncomfortable. Everything was in a hurry because I had to catch the school bus which had only one layer. That was different from the normal bus. The normal one has two layers. When I left home and got on the school bus, I started to cry because I never left home without my parents before. Then the school bus nanny told me I could phone my parents. I stopped cried. It arrived within five minutes. The more I walked into the kindergarten, the more I felt afraid. That was a strange environment to me. During the lessons, teachers had a strict face. Children were not allowed to chat and we had to sit properly. Sometimes we were not permitted to go to the washroom. Before the lesson’s break, I almost wet my pants. Finally, the classes were over. When I arrived home, I changed into my normal clothes back quickly and ended my first day of school. I had never felt so afraid and uncomfortable before this day!

Victor's first day at school

First day at school

I can’t forget my first day at school because that was one of the most important days for me. When I was 6 or 7 years old, my parents decided to send me to school. It was my first time to school. I was very anxious and afraid about it. I cried, but nothing helped. We arrived at school early that morning. My parents couldn’t get through the gate, according to the rule. So I burst into tears again. After a while, a beautiful young woman dressed in a white shirt, who was our teacher, came up to me and talked with me. Her voice sounded nice. I stopped crying and went with her and the other children. While she was talking, she showed us around the school. It was a small school, but it looked like a park, it planted pretty flowers and short trees. It contained three buildings, which had three or four floors, and a circle playground. After that she asked our names and told us to get to know each other. There were more than thirty children in our class. Later we played games and sang songs together. The time went quickly. After school I felt very happy and excited. I thought I would never forget my first day at school.

Victor's vacation(second)

Two years ago,I had a trip with my classmates. That's the most interesting vacation I've ever had because we spent a good time together. I didn't forget anything we had done at that time. I decided on this trip and seven classmates of mine agreed on it. It's a trip to the southern part of China. We took a plane to the first destination,after that we travelled by bus. We visited the old cities, took many photoes, enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine. We also did some shopping, learned the different cultures of the minority people. Finally, we had the local special food. I found it was extremely delicious! I missed it a lot. We enjoyed a long trip and had fun together. It was really an excellent trip. If it's possible, I really want to take it again.

My best vacation is to go to Tokyo Disneyland. 10 years ago, I went to Tokyo Disneyland as a family trip. It was first time to travel there, so when my parents told to have this plan, I was very happy from a bottom of heart and jumped up. We left for Tokyo By an air plane. It was also first time to ride an air plane, so I felt very nervous. However I could arrive safely. When I stood in front of a gate of Tokyo Disneyland, I thought “This is dream land!!” because it seemed very different from real world. I rode many rides such as corkscrew, ship, merry-go-round, and ‘Danbo’, but most impressed thing was parade. At the night, there was a parade, and a lot of people came around a main street. Then cars and carriages decorated illumination passed slowly with Disney characters. They sang and danced happily. For me it was just amazing. I couldn’t sleep well owing to excitement when I turned in. Now, I can work part-time, so I can get money to go there. However, if I go there many times, I would remember that time.

When arrived to the hotel and the receptionist gave me my key and I was very gratefully because I was so tired. It was too many hours on the airplane. After sleep for a while my tour in Paris started. First, I went to visit the amazing Eiffel Tower. I can’t explain the feeling when I saw it. Is beautiful and each part of it is so perfect. Second, I went to visit the Louvre museum is big and has a lot of arte inside. After that in my second week I went to many malls to buy things for my parents and friends. I stated two weeks in Paris just traveling and meting new people. I love Paris because it show me new things that I never imagine could exist.

Traveling to Cancun with my friends

Traveling to Cancun with my friends
Marcelino

On the second week of the 2006 spring break, 29 friends and I spent one week in Cancun, Mexico where we had so much fun. Our spring break coincided with the U.S and Canada spring break so there were a lot of people having fun. I’m sure it was the trip on which I had most fun. The first two days we had fights with some “wanna be gangster” Americans that were looking for problems but we refused to be bullied and we beat them up. I liked it so much, every day was spent on the beautiful Caribbean beach, playing volleyball and also in the hotel pool. Every night we went to the discos or as we say “antros”. I loved the Caribbean Sea and beach so much that after the disco, I used to go to the beach to see the sunrise then take a little breakfast before going to sleep, and be ready again for the sun, drinks, girls and beach. I enjoyed so much and I would like to take another trip with my friends and I’m sure I will, I will have to save money for going to a beach destiny, because there the party, never ends.

My vacation in Barcelona.

My vacation in Barcelona.
Vika.

I had such a good chance to visit Barcelona this summer vacation. I went there with my mother and best friend. We planed a lot of things to do. Firstly we wanted to know about history and culture of Barcelona and besides that we hoped that we take different excursions. The next step of our plan was different activities, for example clubs, beach’s parties, water parks and shops. For us this step was one of the important parts, because only in a such way we can full-fledged enjoy of our rest. It was the first trip to Europe. We sensed differences in food and in lifestyle generally. We visited the Castle of Galla which was presented to her by Salvador Dali who was schizophrenic. It was very historical place. Furthermore we went to exhibition of pictures of Picasso. In his creation there were a lot of secrets. For example you could see two different visuals on the one picture. It was very interesting and exciting walking around gallery. I don’t forget this trip to abroad. Barcelona was fantastic!

HURRY'S VACATION

The best vacation I ever enjoyed is few months ago in Beijing. I arrived in Beijing by train, and lived in a hotel with my family. At that week, I chose a day morning to join in raising national flag. It began at 4:48. Though it began very early, many people had already waited for raising national flag. When the national anthem began, I felt proud of my homeland---China. The food of Beijing tasted delicious .You can find many kinds of food in Beijing and the history of the food continued more than 100years .In Beijing ,you can find many great views, like The Great Wall, the imperial palace and so on .They showed us the Chinese centuries-old culture. When you put yourself in them, you can feel it very strong. I enjoy the nice vacation, Beijing shows us the culture and history of China, when I saw Chinese flag, I remember the nice vacation.

The best vacation in my memory
Lin
The weather was so great there and every day was sunning day. We were very enjoying every day. In addition, we traveled around Macaw; we visited lots of historic parks and took many pictures. They were so great. Also, we ate different kinds of famous food. That was so wonderful. Besides, we went shopping around Macaw, we bought so many stuffs and they were cheaper than Taiwan. The most important thing was going to the biggest casino. The building of casino is so huge. Because I am not an adult in the time, I just can go around the casino quickly. Going to casino was our last schedule stop.

The best trip I have ever had was in 2003. I went on a trip start from Vancouver with my family. My parents decided to go there. We took the AirCanada’s flight from Hong Kong to Vancouver for almost thirteen hours. We joined a tour and took a shuttle bus to travel. We went to Columnbia Icefield and Lake Louise as sightseeing spot. My sister took lots of photos because they are really beautiful. We ate lobsters for dinner. They tasted great. The tour brought us to the ginseng factory and we could buy the ginseng for a lower price. My parents bought some of them as souvenirs and also for self-use. I really want to go to this trip again because all the things that happened are so good!

The size area of California in the U.S, but there have more than 125 million people live there,.Have so many people. There are four beautiful seasons in Japan, I fly to Japan at winter, if you come to Japan in autumn ,you will see cherry blossoms, it same with the best beautiful place in Japan, so I think, visitors will enjoy difference scenes and events from each season. We lived in the“Holiday Inn” in Kobe. Then we took streetcar to Kyoto to saw Yokohama, Mount Fuji , and geisha—people use professional hostesses who entertain guests through various performing art. I would like to have the best trip again!

Best Vacation

The best vacation I’ve ever had was in the summer of 2005. My boyfriend and I traveled to Victoria. It’s located on Vancouver Island. We took our car and then we bought tickets for a ferry. It took us to our destination. We arrived around 9:00 pm Friday. We booked a hotel a week before. After we strolled for dinner. We had a lot of fun that day. We walked and laughed. Then we saw a man who was wearing “cow suit” who was completely drunk. The next day, we bought coffee and pancakes for breakfast. Then we decided to check museums. We went to check wax museum. It was awesome!!! I was really impressed. After that we were just walking around the city, seeing sights, and taking pictures, etc. In the evening, instead of the club we preferred to enjoy each other company. On monday we came back to Vancouver and returned to our casual life. Since that time we decided to not part anymore. I do not miss that time because I know that every minute beside him makes my life more interesting. Every moment I am with him, I feel that my life has meaning.

MY TRIP TO VICTORIA -Tony,Yan

This June, I went to Victoria with my girlfriend. Victoria is the capital of BC. It is a wonderful place. Morning, we took ferry from Vancouver to Victoria. During the two hours on the ferry, my girlfriend and I enjoyed the beautiful views of the sea and small islands. We also saw a small whale. After we got off the ferry, it was afternoon. We went to the Downtown of Victoria by a small lovely Taxi. We visited parliament building, the wax house and the Museum. The wax house is the special place in Victoria. Everyone inside were all made of wax, they seemed like real person. So it had a little terror. But I was very like it. Than, my girlfriend and I took a lots of pictures together. I also ride a white strong horse for a picture. I seem like a knight. I studied how to drive a floatplane in the biggest club beside the sea. After that, I met my old friends in a classic restaurant in Downtown. They are American people, they live in Victoria for long times ago. We had a good dinner together. Times run, the fun time is always short. My girlfriend and I took the ferry back to Vancouver. I was really do not want come back when the ferry moved. It was a great trip. I will never forget it. If I have chance, I will move to Victoria.

I will never forget the special trip in Vancouver. That was a good and busy vacation for me. My friends decided to go to Vancouver last month. I like shopping and eating food, so I decided to go with them. We took more than five hours by bus. All the way, I felt very boring and tire. I did not want to try it again. First day in Vancouver was very busy. Every girl likes shopping, we like too. We were arrived shopping mall very early, but it was not opened, so we had to wait one hour. We enjoyed in Vancouver for different kinds of commodities. The second day, we went to Victoria by ship. We got up at 4:00 in the morning for we want to save some time on our way. In Victoria, we visited The Butchart Gardens. Many disparate flowers and trees were growing. I wallowed in the flowers sea. The third day, we went to Stanley Park to ride bicycle. The park was very big so we spent more than one hour ride around this park. I saw a sea when I was riding in the park. Beside the sea, I could saw some buildings and ships. The beautiful made me comfortable and quietude. I stayed in Vancouver just three days. I think Vancouver is a good place. I like there and never forget the special trip in Vancouver.

Last summer I went to Qingdao to visit my friend. She took me many places, and I have a very good time in Qingdao. Qingdao is in the east of China, it’s the city near the sea. I came to there by a train, and then I lived in my friend’s home. There are many good places in Qingdao. On the first day we went swimming and the sea is very beautiful, it’s blue and clean but the sunshine was very strong. After swimming, we were both burned. We went shopping on the next day, and we bought a lot of funny things. We also climbed mountain and ate many different kinds of sea food. I stayed in Qingdao almost one week. And I like that place, I want to visit there again with my parents.

There are my experience of my vacation in Vancouver


There are my experiences of my vacation in Vancouver .That was one year ago , I had studied English for one year . At that time , I lived with my brother . I thought Vancouver has many good places for vacation .Therefore, I happily invited my ex-girlfriend to visited me . I told her that I would pay everything for her . And than I started to learned where is good for visiting before she came to Vancouver .Suddenly ,I was become a lovely guide .When we went to everywhere, we had to take transportation. Vancouver has good transportable system . That is very convenient and cheap . I bought a bus pass of one zone for one month . And I also had a student ID . Therefore , to go everywhere just is one zone . I could use bus pass to take a bus , the sky train , or the see bus for one zone .I prepared everything . I knew every thing .Last I just had to wait my ex-girlfriend coming . I could start my trips
