The Dragon Boat Festival

This week has a big festival. It is the Dragon Boat Festival. This festival is in memory of a poet, Qu Yuan. He is very patriotic, but he does not get appreciate. He feels sad and jumps into the river to end his life. Many people row a boat and try to find him. However, no one find him. They do not want his corpse be eaten by fish, so they throw a lot pyramid-shaped mass of glutinous rice wrapped in leaves. Now we order to remember him, we row the dragon boat and eat pyramid-shaped mass of glutinous rice wrapped in leaves every year. Maybe one day I will join the race of the dragon boat.

In our view, Academic Writing is a serious course, but yesterday we found it was interesting. Yesterday, teacher gave us a web and asked us to practice typing. We entered the web. We found it was a game about typing. The fame showed many different words in the screen. We needed to enter right word. Did not make too much mistakes or you would game over. The word usually was a lowercase, but sometimes it was mixed a lowercase and a capital letter. This kind of word could get a lot grades. It even had a sentence. I did not enter a sentence, so I did not know what its effect was. Finally, I get the 18000 grades. It was funny. How about your grades?

Swimming

Summer is coming! The weather become hot, so people start to eat ice cream and swim. Swimming is a symbolize sport in the summer, but I can not swim. I decide to learn swimming. By chance, our physical education starts to teach swim. Teacher separates someone who can swim and who can not swim. First, teacher lead us how to kick. It needs to loosen your body. Then he teaches us how to swing our hands. My kick is not fluent, so I can not into next level. Finally, he tells us how to breathing. If I finish this three level, I just can swim front crawl stroke.

Volunteer




Nearly, We went to the hospital to be volunteer. It was a activity of my club. We decided to dance, play a drama and teach them how to make a paper flower, because it was close to Mother’s day. We prepared it for a long time. We practiced again and again. We all felt exhaust, but we were happy. At that day, we went to the hospital and announce to related people. It was very cautious that we had to wear a gauze mask in the hospital. When we went in and out a sickroom, we needed to wash hands by alcohol. All of it was avoid to infectious sickness. After that, we went to eat soybean flower to bring gifts for ourselves. To sum up, we found they were cute and sanguine. We all hoped they will be healthy soon.

3000M

In the school, there have many physical ability examination in every semester such as sit-ups, running 100m, 1600m, 3000m, swimming……etc. We had a running 3000m recently. It was a big thing to me, because I seldom did exercise. Obviously, my physical force was very poor. I was worry about that I could not finish 3000m. When the start of a race, I found that everyone ran so fast that I could not catch on the team. At the third circle, I was tired and wanted to give up, but we needed to run eight circle. I felt very painfully. Finally, I could not keep running 3000m. I walked during the examination, so I did not pass the examination. I had to run again behind a week.

Society Course

In the society course, we discuss many questions in the society. It is too serious to us, but we have to try to accept and give some advises. Sometimes, we even do not understand what the question says and what the answer it want. Although the teacher is work hard to let our join the class, we still no passion in it. However this course is not easy, it has to pay a report with 2500 words. You should read a book or article that teacher recommend. It is not easy. In our experience, this kind course usually has no exam, but we are false. It let me feel boring and upset. Why this course has exam? I am very confused. Finally, the fact can not be change, we should face this challenge.

Way Back Into Love

I have been living with a shadow overhead~
I have been sleeping with a cloud above my bed~

Wow! What a beautiful song! I listen it from the movie nearly. The movie describes how this song is written. In the movie, it is written by Alex Fletcher and Sophie Fisher. Alex Fletcher is a pop star before, but now he is a lyricist. Sophie Fisher is Alex's beguilingly quirky plant lady, and she also is a writer. With a hard to come by chance, they create a song together for a superstar Cora. During the process, they fall in love for each other. I know the story behind the song. When I listen this song, I have more feeling in this song. Many songs have a long story behind then, but some people can not feel it. So it let us know this story by watching movie, it is very smart. Above of all, the movie is very interesting and the song is good.
