Begonia Flower Festival

On 1st of May, I went to join the Begonia Festival at 10:30 am with my classmates Cheaster, Sky, King , Eric ,Dannis, Rita and so on.This festival was hold in Mo Chou Lake Park, a very beautiful place near my home.

We met each other at the gate of the park, we bought the tickets and then went into the park. After I went into the park, I saw may trees and flowers in it and many people played and walked in it.Most of them were children and old people, they must like the good environment and the fresh air there, because it was

The ''Begonia Flower Festival'' was held in a little garden in this park which had grown a lot of malus trees, but may be it is too early now, we haven't seen any begonia flowers on malus trees.That made us disappointed.

Actually, I didn't like the Begonia Flower Festival very much. The main reason was I haven't seen any begonia flowers and the malus trees are just like other trees in the park. Secondly, went to a park is not very interesting for our ages but I loved the fresh air there and the beautiful environment there!

Volunteer for the chiidren

All Saturadays of April, I went to Hou Zaimen community with my classmates in a group of four to taught students there for 10 hours. The students were the children that lived in this community.

The duties for us to do was to help the students with their homework and to teach them some new things. Each person usually taught one child at once. I have taught five girls for five times, each of them are from different grades in primary school. They usually ask me questions about English and Maths.

The most interesting girl I have taught was a lovely girl in grade 2, she wanted me to taught her English. She said she can't read the new words and the sentences so I read first and let her follow me. She could read it very clearly, but after 30 minutes, I found a problem, If I let her read the sentence by herself, she always forgot how to read it. That's made me repeat the sentences again and again.After she could read it by herself, I also felt very tired and thirsty.

Some children put chinese under the sentence to help them read it but It isn't the meaning of these sentence but the homophony of these sentence. It was a bad way to learn English, I helped them erase these Chinese and told them the ture way of learning English. I remembered that when I was a Primary school student, my teacher also taught me too, because at that time I did this wrong thing at the beginning of studying English too.

I think this kind of volunteer is meaningful for us, it can told us every work is difficult espeacilly teachers, because teach someone who doesn't know anything must be a hard work, they need to explain one thing by themslf in a different way and they need to do more homework than you.

When you feel tired, think about the teacher!

Fantastic Fashion show

On 27th of April, GCA hold a fashion show at 5:30 in the afternoon. I attended it with almost all GCA students and teachers.

This show was very exciting for us, the clothes for models are all designed by students. Some teachers were attended the fashion show too, such as Ms.Bartell, Ms.Hadly and Ms.Chu...They were all attractive by the beautiful flowers in their heads and their beautiful dress. Helen, Rita, Joe, Elva and Sky are models of our class, so I helped them hold the cellphones during they gave us the show on the stadge because the clothes we designed have no pockets.

The cloth which I most like is the dress on the model Cherry.It is an dark blue evening dress which must be made of silk. This dress seemed to be very long and can reach the feet.Cherry also held a mark on her hand and paint her face little bit black, that maked her like a princess from another country like india and be different from other models!

I like this fashion show very much, because it can not only show us the fantastic cloths but show us that not only models on the TV can be the best, we can did it too, and not only the clothes designer can design the beautiful clothes we can did it too!

The experience in “Jiangsu Provincial art museum”

On the March 14, 2009, I went to the “Jiangsu Provincial art museum” in Chang Jiang Road to visit the beautiful artworks with my classmates, Rita, King, Jim, Sky and William.

I choose this exhibition because it was free and famous. The artworks there were all the pictures about cows because this year is the year of OX and most of people like cows better than other animals in this year.

The artwork that I most like is about a caw mother and a calf. The caw mother is leading the calf to go ahead. From the eyes of the caw mother, we could feel the love of the caw mother to her child, just like human. The person who most loves you is you mother.

Actually, I don’t like this exhibition, because it is very boring! There were a few people in it and most of them were old people and no one took us around the exhibition, so we felt boring and went out of the exhibition quickly after we took the photos of the artworks.

A wonderful dinner in Da Yu

On the evening of 14th of March, I went to a restaurant to have dinner in 1912 with my classmates, Elaine, Rita, Jim, Matt, William, Sky and so on . The name of the restaurant is Da Yu and it is a Japanese restaurant for which in 1912 and in Japan is famous. .

When we arrived in Da Yu ,It was nearly 4:00 in the afternoon .We started to read the menu and choose the food .The food in Da Yu is cheaper than Tacos for us .I ate “Fried rice with pineapple”. In all, I spent 20 RMB there.

I think this restaurant is good, because I haven’t waited the food for a long time and the food are delicious and they are different from the food I usually eat. For example, the way for cooking is Japanese style and some of were cold, but I don’t like them .The environment is very good, colorful lights, wires and beautiful waitresses.

There were not many people there because we were early .Some of them were people from Japan and some of them were young couples. I will recommend others to go there but remember one thing, that is bring enough money, because some of the food there are expensive!

performance in Foreign Language Festival

This is the second time for me to attend the Festival of Nanjing Foreign Language School.
We danced in the Foreign Language School in the Great Hall Of The People on seventh of March.

We knew that we can dance in the Foreign Language Festival when Vera and Elva told us. We knew we need to pay 300yuan for the teacher to teach us, this must be expensive because the teacher only has three classes with us, but we need the performance time and the club time for portfolio, it is very important! Though we have showed on the Sports Festival, we haven’t taken the pictures, so it is unbelievable for the teacher, so we attended it. Actually, It is also a good time to show myself, because I love dancing.

We paid almost all our energy on it. We tried our best to learn it without talking during the learning time, and we used all Chinese Classes to practice it(we knew it is wrong, but we had to do it with no time and no choice).

At the backstage we felt very excited, because so many people here wanted to look our show. I have no time to think about if I would make some mistakes, what should I do. Soon, I got onto the stage. “Yes, It is cool! I am very beautiful!” I told to myself.

Everybody saw me said we have got a success, yes! It is because of the confidence and the team experience we have learned.

Dancing Club

Iloved dancing when I was only a child ,and I even wanted to be a dancer at that time, but not every Chinese parents will let their children do the things they want to do .They don't think it is good for their childrens' future to be a dancer in the future .

I promised my parents that I won't spend too much time on dancing until I enter the GCA.When someone told me that GCA has a dancing club and the teachers will teach us girls hip hop and jazz, I just felt flew in the sky and I entered this club at the first time.

The teachers of this club are all the students in GCA , Seven ,Vera ,Only and Mona.They are very kind and friendly.Some of the club members like me didn't learn how to dance before ,and they taught us from the first step .They taught us slowly to let us get the feeling of dancing . The club started from 1pm to 3pm in the afternoon and I went to school to learn how to dance once each week when I was free and I went to see Only's show on Jan. 11th with Elaine and Rita .

I also took part in a show in the sports meeting of Nanjing Foreign Language School ,because of this show ,we prepared 8 days for this show to learn girls' hip hop and we performed at the half-time of the football game .We felt excited because that it was the first time for me to dance on the stadge for so many people in our school, I tried my best to told myself to calm down and I did my best as expected .This show has become a great success in the sports meeting ,everyone said our show is the best ,we were very suprised because some of us only learned girls hip hop for 8 days !This thing told us nothing is impossible!life is controled by ourselves!

It is a good opportunity for me to show my own character and even it is better for me in the future ,as we all know that it will benefit you more if you have a wide knowledge .

The Dancing club let me find , I was better than i thought , It can give me more confidence and happiness and it can also tell me that I should be controlled by my life and I won't give up my dream ,everything will be alright!

Physical activities

During this winter holiday , I did physical activities with my father and mother.We were running in the Moon Park for 5 hours in two days and we climbed the Purple Mountain .

We went to the moon park on the afternoon of sixth in february and on the morning in the seventh in february, after we arrived ,we started to change our clothes into sports clothes(I wore GCA uniform ) ,and I also wore a hat .we ran around the park slowly and saw the beauty of this park ,the air was fresh and the wind was cool.We were running for 5hours at all because the park is very big .

On the afternoon of seventh in February we went to climb the Purple Mountain. I felt very happy because our PE teacher lead us there at least 4 times, so I didn't feel nervous, but my father and mother told me they were a little bit be afraid to climb this high mountain .

During that afternoon, I was the first who arrived the top of the mountain in our family, and I was the supporter who cheered for my father and mother to be quick and do not give up .We felt very hot and thirsty during this time but we tried our best to finish this climbing and went back in the same way and we also ate some food.

After these physical activities ,I know that spending more time to do some physical activity is very important to our bodies. If you didn't run or climb the mountain , you will get illness easily when you are old.

I think not only do exercise like running ,but do something small like riding bike to school, walking from one place to another if it is not very far, take more time to go to the park and walk for few hours after dinner is good for you health and also can help you keep silm. This physical activity also told us not to give up when you meet difficulties ,everything will be ok just like my father and mother who afraid to climb the mountain at the first, but finally they got did it .

This thing remind me of some Chinese PE teacher, when I am in Nanjing Foreign Language School ,our PE teacher never told us to run for more than 2 times around the playground ,they thought we can't do it ,and originally we also thought we can't do it until we met Mr.Haris ,he told us to run for almost all class ,at least 4times in some classes , we thought we can't do but we did it ,so we are stronger than before .I want to say thank you to Mr.Haris ,he told us what is "Nothing is imposible" and what is the difference between you and other school's student in China,that is try.

Trying ,trying can make my body stronger,trying can change my life, trying can chang the world.

Volunteer experience to the home of respect for aged

On the 21st of January, Elaine called me about she has found a home of respect for aged that can let us do volunteer there, so we took notes of the telephone number and decided to go there tomorrow.

The leaders of the home of elderly told us if we want to get the verification we must talk with these old people and do something for them, so we prepared for a long time to decide what we can do to help them.

The next day, on 22ed of January (and on 4th of february we also went in it too) we found that home of respect for aged. Before we went in it, we went to the SuGuo to buy some fruits, such as some oranges and bananas so that each one can get one.

.

We looked all the elders and talked with them about the environment there, we also do something they can’t do there such as dumped the rubbish and wash the fruits for them, we even used ourselves’ money to bought a lot of things for one old woman, these things include a scissor, a clock, a bow of lantern and some batteries because her children didn’t give her any money and she has no money to buy these things.

I talked with the oldest woman in this place, she has just celebrated her 100-year-old birthday in Nanjing by her granddaughter. Thought she is very old now, she is very happy and friendly, she also has good eyesight and hearing, and she can even chalk with us clearly. One old women I talked with originally I didn’t like her, she always let us to talk with only herself but didn't let us to meet with other elders, and we all thought she is a little bit selfish, but after she talked of her family, we also thought she is very poor, her children didn’t want to take care of her cause she is disability because of the disease, no one lives with her and she feels very lonely, so she wants others to take more care about her. We can’t say she is selfish, we just can say her children are selfish, abandon the person who is the most love them in the world.

After talked with these people, we knew that many of the old people are not take cared by their children, their children think they are rubbish and let them go to the home of elderly so that the workers there can instead of them and they are free, they just need to give the home of respect for aged 1200 each month.

Do our mother and father will like this in the future? No! They are the people who most love me, I can’t treat them as these elders’ children, I will live with them until they died, I will take care of them by myself. I can't let them feel lonely like these elders feel .

I will also go to the home of respect for aged to see those poor elders, because they told us what is love and what is family.I will also talk and play with them to make them happy, then they could feel not very lonely because they know there are someone one who love them and take care of them in the world.

Do you know what family is? F-A-M-I-L-Y is father and mother,I love you !
