[1]I'm Jack.On July 14th,my family moved to Britain and excitement put me in a happy mood for weeks.
[2]After half a year self English training,I was sent into a local high schoo1.At the time I was extremely nervous.Students and teachers enthusiastically welcomed me and spoke to me very slowly,but I still hardly understood them.They liked me,because I was pretty outstanding in the math’s class.One day,a Russian guy challenged me and I put him on the ground by a bare hand.Since then,no one ever made a second challenge,and I got to know later that he was the strongest guy in the schoo1.I was actually quite proud as in China I never had chance to be seen like this.
[3]During the first two years of high school,I frankly didn’t achieve very much academically.The language put me down all the time.Needless to say,the British education system is very relaxing.I didn’t want to do as much work as before.It is terrific.
[4]Since the year 2000 I've taken great interest in designing and maintaining websites.With a large amount of effort and a small amount of time.I managed to construct a personal web.I gradually acquired the sense of professionalism and redesigned my sites again and again,and the first award or the official recognition was that my school put up my URL on their website as an example of the IT students’brilliance.
[5]I progressed.The flash version of the site won a few official website design awards.And I even started a business of web design.Nowadays,I devote much time in pursuit of Search Engine Marketing,which is vital to firms which heavily depend on internet sales.

Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been associated with war photography.
Born in Hungary in 1913,Capa was forced to leave his native country after his involvement in anti-government protests.Capa had originally wanted to become a writer,but after his arrival in Berlin he first found work as a photographer.He later left Germany and moved to France and it was here that he changed his name to Robert Capa,mainly because he thought it would sound more American.
In 1936,after the breakout of the Spanish Civil War,Capa went to Spain and it was here that he built his reputation as a war photographer.It was here too in 1936 that he took one of his most famous pictures,The Death of a Loyalist Soldier.One of Capa’s most famous quotes was“If your pictures aren’t good enough,you’re not close enough.”And he took his attitude of getting close to the action to an extreme.His photograph,The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime example of this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls.However,many have questioned the reality of this photograph,claiming that it was staged.
When World War II broke out,Capa was in New York,but he was soon back in Europe covering the War for Life magazine.Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944.Capa,armed only with two cameras,took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the Normandy landing(诺曼底登陆),but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames.It was the images from these frames,however,that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg’s Oscar winning movie Saving Private Ryan.
