3. The position shifts’ definition of
mine
 Position shift is one thing we cannot avoid
in daily life.
 Mental change, environment's change
can all be defined as position shift.
 We cannot judge the effect of a position
shift by only estimate the surface of one
thing because it can always be butterfly
effect.

4.  Position shift not
only happens at
the beginning of an
incident, but also
when you start to
handle this.
 It is the basic
element in our daily
life, so don’t try to
avoid it because if
you do this you will
be punished by
coming of the
change that you
cannot afford.

5. One important shift
happened to me
（ My hometown ：
Huainan ， China. ）

6. Before
Iurgently wanted to join in the army. This
dream always stays with me for many
years. After I finished my sophomore’s
year at collage I was planning to join the
army during that summer break and I
even wrote an application and then
passed the physical examination .

7. During
 Some incidents and the order from my
parents let me had to go on my study at
college ,and I had to change my mind .
 “When God closes a door, He opens a
window.” Fortunately, I was chosen to
study
abroad.

8. After
A the beginning I was full of passion and
fighting will .
 Life is not always comfortable, I had some
difficulties because I was not able to
adapt myself to the new circumstances
and became puzzled and exhausted .
 Up to now , life goes well and I have
changed a lot, I have made a great
progress.

9. How I communicate my Shift
to others and their response
 After knowing I will study abroad my
friends said it is good opportunity for me
and my best friend often writes to me and
tells me that just come home quickly
because they need me .

10.  My father told me: If you want to get one
thing, you should give up something;
everyone should have his own
undertaking, life will bring about fortune to
your life. You cannot make sure that the
decisions you are making not suitable for
you before the result comes to us. What
he said encourages me a lot and I always
appreciate his understanding and
supporting. My mother was a little bit
upset because she would be missing me.

11.  Duringthe first several days I come to
America I was not able to adapt myself to
the new circumstances and became
puzzled and exhausted . I asked my
cousin for help, after the long talk, what
he said make me suddenly enlightened, I
started working hard and became
outgoing.

12. Detail descriptions
 Region change and life style’s change: I
leaved where I used to live and went to a
totally different environment to hold a life
style I was not familiar with.

13.  Mental change: In China parents always love their
children ardently, due to this I used to shirk in daily
life. But this thing made me must change, I needed
to handle all of problems I met, choose a right way
when I met a forked road.
China University of Mining and Technology , My college in China.

14. What it brings to me
 There is an old saying: If you want to get
one thing, you should give up something;
everyone should have his own
undertaking.
 Position shift is not only a change but also
a training to everybody, we should hold a
positive attitude to it.

15.  Firstlyit’s the way to deal with people, in
China parents always teach children to
be modest, if you are a genius you
cannot accept the praise from others,
you should just say I am not good enough
or someone is better than me. But when I
came to USA I found out that if you have
talent in some aspects, you can show it
off; people will admire you if you are really
good enough in this area but not be
critical about your attitude.

16.  Secondly, far away from family also bring
me a lot of confusion and new skill, we
don’t need to do housework when we
are still at school, most of Chinese parents
will try their best to let their children feel
comfortable when they are staying in
home, but I have to face to those all
without others’ help, it’s a bit hard for me,
so during a long time the life to me is how
to survive but not how to live, fortunately, I
worked so hard and finally learned how to
hold a happy life all by myself.

17.  Thirdly,I have so many friends in my
hometown but when I came to USA,
I cannot find the familiar
environment and I was so hard to
communicate with others because I
cannot learn what others’ saying
and hardly to show what I was
really thinking about. But after some
time, my focusing on language’s
learning is effective, and I pass this
life’s test.

18.  Lastbut not least, it’s what it bring to us,
my family, my friends and I, to me, I
always missing home so much and what
to go home at once, my parent also miss
me so much that they always held some
time to call me although they were so
busy. Some of my best friend often write
to me told me that just come home
quickly because they need me, I just want
to cry when I see what they have done to
me, in this case I always told myself to
calm done and go on, I will never let
them done.

19. Conclusion
 Everything has tow folds, position is also a rapier. It
can brings us not only environment’s change and
training but also a steady change of our attitude to
how to deal with our attitudes to lives and other
things: take a masquerade or just smile to the shine
without any makeup on our face.

20.  Don’t waste you time, and try to do more
things as you can especially when we are
still young. Because those position shifts
can bring us not only experience but also
a steady character.
 Life just like a boat, we never know what
will happen next second, so it is full of
coincidence, what we should do is facing
to it and being thankful to the god.

21. IN THE END
 Our life is not only a regular clock's hand,
our life is not repetitive tick-tack, it’s the
most beautiful symphonic music in the
world, so cherish it and never afraid to try.
PS is not only position shift but also
perpetual strive.
