Impression after Reading

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from VenusI am 22 years old. I have never had a boyfriend. If I am an American, people willthinktheremustbesomethingwrongwithme.Butfortunately,IamaChinese.Nobody will laugh at me or think I am weird or something for I having never hangedout with a boy for almost 22 years. Well, I really do not know much about males and Ieven feel a little afraid when I am walking alone with a boy, especially a boy I like..

This term, I bought a book with my curiosity. It is a best-selling book in America.The name of the book isMen Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. The author isJohnGray,Ph.

The classic guide to understand the opposite sex. I think that is the reasonthat I bought it----getting to know boys.

The beginning of the book is quite imaginary. Suppose that men are from MarsandwomenarefromVenus.OnedaylongagotheMartians,lookingthroughtheirteles copes, discovered the Venusians. Just glimpsing the Venusians awakened feelingsthey had never known. They fell in love and quickly invented space travel and flew toVenus. Well, you may doubt how they can fall in love with each other and how theywill get along well with each other.

In this book, we can not only understand the opposite sex, but also know how toestablisharmoniousrelationshipwitheoppositesex.Thereareseveralthingsthat the author explores:

With discovering so many things, I think what I learn from the book is not justthe opposite sex, love, and marriage, but more about human beings minds. In otherwords, it is like a psychological book, teaching us how to act and how to understandothers’ acts. It is a kind ofreflection. It happens in everyone, not just in the oppositesex. As long as we know each others’thoughts, we can understand each other better,as the human nature’s point of view.

attentionto“objects” and “things” rather than people and feelings. And especially when theyfeel need, they can also feel great happiness. I always wondered that why it

seemsthatinaromanticrelationship,menoftengivemorethanwomendo.Thereasonseem s to be apparent now, it is because when a man’s girlfriend or wife needs him, heis eager to help her and meet her needs, which will give him a sense of achievements.Therefore, when you have a boyfriend, do not always do things on your own or rejecthis help, which can help to keep a good relationship. Just like the author said,” Menare motivated and empowered when they feelneed.”

To be honest, I can get happy when being good to others, loving them and givingmore. Since love has the magical power to make people happy, strong and unified, topreserve the sweet love between men and women seems quite important,especiallywhen they get married.

Basically, we need to know what he or she is saying, because men and womens peakdifferentlanguages.Herearesomeexamplesinthebook.“Iamsotired,Ican’t do anything”translated into Martian means“Ihave been doing so much today,I really need a rest before I can do anything more. I am so lucky to have your
