Western restaurant





I went to a Swiss restaurant with Christophere, Sandy and Sonia on 15th Feb. The restaurant is under the first floor of Onent Department Store. We attended there at 10:30 a.m. We chose this restaurant because we saw the advertisement on the MAP magazine and we wanted to eat the Swiss Cheese Fondue and the Swiss Chocolate Fondue, but they did not have them in the restaurant.
We did not like the food there except chocolates. The chocolate there had very interesting shape. They looked like spiders. Sandy was afraid spiders so much, she did not eat any of them. I ate the “Prime Rib Steak” and it tasted very strange, sour and bitter and sweet at the same time. The MENU said that “Prime rib steak” was made by Grade “A” Rib Eye with Mushroom sauce and country cut potatoes. The meat was hard and it made my stomach felt uncomfortable.
Though I do not like the food, I like the environment. The lights and seats are suitable and comfortable. The air in the restaurant is fresh. There were some other people there. There were some parents with their children ate their together. The service in the restaurant this Swiss restaurant to all of my friends but I will also tell them I do not like the food there.
This was one thing that it makes me to be interested in. This is Swiss chocolate. It was too delicious. I like it to much.
In all, today is also a meaningful day.

volunteer work


I did the volunteer work for Ms.bartell. I worked for her for about six times , ten hours fourty minutes in total. From this volunteer work, I felt that I was growing up, I was not a child any more. I have and unpaid to dedicate for the society.
On 20th of December, I remembered that I helped Ms.Bartell enter the data of blog into Excel. Each student should send their blog links to Ms.bartell. So, I helped her to check it. It was really a huge process. First, I should check it from Ms.Bartell’s G-mail, then you should collate their names and students’ numbers to finish this work. This was also my first time to do this kind of volunteer work. I felt it was poignant and answerable. This volunteer work did not help me learn more new skills, but it told me you should do everything on duty. You are the young person. You should learn how to plan your things and how to make your life more organized. Nobody will remind you to do everything, you should remind yourselves what you should do and what to do. It is your own duty.On 26th of December, I helped Ms.Bartell buy postcards and did paper cut for her. It was very interesting. It was my first time to go to the post office. Before this time, I was a very introverted person. I do not like talking with other people. However, post office is a public place. If you want to know more information, you have to talk to other strangers. You should try your best to deal with your relationship better and better. In the staffroom, Ms.Bartell described the picture on the postcards and told me the color of the stamps. But I still know nothing about the stamps in my mind. I will tell you why I was so brave to go to the post office. I thought when I went to the post office, I told those salespeople in the post office all the information about the stamps, they would know what I was talking about. I should believe myself . Then when I went to the post office by myself, I felt very confident. I bought the right postcards and stamps for Ms.Bartell. From this volunteer work, I learned many personal skills. Such as when you are in a public place, you should pay attention to your demeanor. If you give people a polite feeling, you will successes easily. At the mean while you should make many friends. So you should pay attention to it. Now, I also know how to use the cut machine. Maybe you think it is too easy, but if you want to make the paper more tidy, you should let the paper and the knife’s edge on a line. Then you will make the paper tidy. I really learned a lot of skills from the volunteer work.

club



I joined the GCA dancing club this year. I thought it was my best choice and also my worst choice. I said it was my best choice because I like dancing very much. However, dancing always made me very tried as well. Sometimes, I hurt myself because of dancing. So it was also my worst choice. Although it was both my best and the worst choice, I chose it by myself, I would never give up easily. I should work hard.
I remembered that my first performance was at the NFLS Sports Meeting. We prepared the performance for about one month. We practiced dancing even during the National Day Holiday. My hometown, LiuHe, was a region far away from school. I should took bus for about 2 hours to come to school for practicing. I always felt very tired but I never give up. I knew it was my responsibility to put my effort into my club. I learned a kind of dance called “Breaking”. “Breaking” was very difficult and dangerous for a new learner. We should had great body and good talent. You needed to work very hard if you do not had these abilities. I was the person who had to work very hard. I should have enough power if I want to dance well. So I often played the horizontal bar to improve my power. Except this , we also running. Sometimes we ran around the school playground before we practiced. Also, another way to improve your power was to stand upside down. However, it was very easy for us to fell down when we were practicing. When we fell down, we might hurt ourselves. From this, I also learned a new skill, that was how to protect yourself when you fell down. I learned that I should use my hands to hold my head, head was the most important. So, though “Brining” was dangerous, if we got the point, dancing can also be safe. By my club hardworking, we was successful in the school Sports Meeting. I felt very happy. After that, our club also danced for the Hollowing Party ,School New Year Party and some other activities.
As a dancer, I hope my dancing skills will be improved. I also want to be the Club Leader. I know that Only in grade twelve will withdraw the dance club. He will prepare for going abroad. So I hope I can be the leader of our Dancing Club. If I became the leader of the club, I will organize two matches during a month. I hope it can help them improve their skills.
From the dancing club, I know how to make I myself strong. Everybody will face some small problems, but I never be afraid of them. We only need to come up with a good way to work out them, the final success will belong to us. In GCA, we have this chance to join it. So I think we should take advantages of this to make ourselves exhaustive people. So I hope all of us can learn something from the club. Finally, I hope all of us can be successful in the club.

physical activities









Physical activities are good for our health. If you want to study very well, you should do more physical activities. As a boy, I like many sports, such as basketball, football and even dance. My favourite sports are basketball and dance. I know sports can relaxed ourselves. It can take away our worries. So during the Spring Festival Holiday, I played the basketball with my cousin. My cousin is younger than me, but I think physical activities are suitable for all ages even he is younger than me. In this days, I played the basketball about twelve hours.
My cousin told me that he wanted me to teach him to play basketball. So, I promised him. First, I told him some rules, such as you should not take three steps with the ball, you can only handed the ball twice, then you should tap the basketball and so on. Now, my cousin know many skills about the basketball, so I told him that a good basketball player should have the good skills, he or she also should have strong body. So when we play the basketball, I would run around the playground about three circles. At the beginning, my cousin did not understand me, he asked me why we should run before we practised. Then I remind a good way, I took him to watch the CBA (China's professional men's basketball). During the match, I told him that if you did not have a strong body, you will have no advantages. After looked at this match, my cousin knew the importance of the strong body. I did the sports with him together. Then , he put all his efforts to make himself stronger. He also played the dumbbell fifty times per time. I also told him that jumping was also important. Then I play the leapfrog to improve his jumping. He could not do it at all, he learned it very slowly. I was just like him when I first did it. Then I taught him how to shot. Practising was the most important way to shot, the more you practise, the more feeling you would get when you were shotting. So your shot was accurate. After this holiday, I desided to play basketball with my cousin every Friday for about two hours per time. I felt very full and happy when I was teaching.
From this physical activities, I got many benefits, such as I had a stronger body, I knew how to teach children, and I knew how charm the basketball was. From this physical activities, I learned that maybe I will be the coach in the primary basketball team, maybe I can be a PE teacher like Mr. Harris. Physical activities can promote better learning and life. So I think physical activities are the foundation of the learning and life. I like physical activities. It makes me stronger and happier.
