Snow In Victoria

The day before yesterday, there was snow in Victoria.

On that day, after we had had lunch the teachers decided to took us to go to a high hill to slide. When we got there, I saw accumulated snow on the ground. We walked to the high hill and the road was slippery. The teachers took crazy carpet and UFO to the hill. We played on by one.

Unfortunately, the snow was not deep and have so many people played on the ground. Therefore, the grass showed from the soil. We just move to another place. These boys was so funny, they played together by one crazy carpet and sat back to back. Make me laughed what these guys tumbled down finally.

After that, some people and I started to roll a big snow ball. Through rolling, it became bigger and bigger. It became so big we could not push it. Although we tried our best to push it to the high hill and let it rolled down the ramp. However, we could not push it anymore. So we had to give up.

At the same time, we needed to go home. ‘Today is a wonderful day!’ I said.

A Meaning Song-Pray

The song’s name is Pray. As you see, it talks the prayer (Justin Bieber) was pray for Africa who is in trouble. We can see the news about Africa in the papers or on the TV. The war is break out. Children are crying, soldiers are dying, and buildings are toppling down. Many people lose their home. Homeless people not only don’t have food to eat, but also live outside to through all night. Their body is cold, heart feel loneliness. The singer wants to make a change. So he prays for these people.

The song has many poetic devices. Now, I give you some examples.
'I just can't sleep tonight
Knowing that things ain't right'
This is rhyme. If you listen to the song carefully, you can find more rhymes.
'I lose my appetite knowing kids starve tonight
Am I a sinner, cause my dinner is still on my plate?'
This is metaphor.
'Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain'
This is symbolism.

He went to the Africa to encourage people. He plays with children, singing with adults. He think there is sunshine behind that rain, there’s a good times behind that pain. After war, the soldiers go back their home, their families was so exciting. We can find the sunshine is coming. The singer gives his best wishes to these people. When I hear the song, I can image what life the people live and it let me feel sad. The tone of the song is slowly and full of feelings.

An Important Experience

On October 2, 2010, my friends and I went to a village by bike. We went camping. I took food, drinks and clothes in my backpack, and my friends took tent and other things we needed, like barbecue. In the morning, we started off and rode the bike along the roads one by one. We rode for a very long time. In the afternoon, we got to a small restaurant to eat dinner. After that, we started our ride again. Finally, we reached our destination. There was a great river and many trees. Of course, firstly we needed to make a fire, and it was time to pitch our tent. I scoured the area for somewhere to pitch tent. In the end, we decided to put up tent by the fire. We found some stone for stability, and then we started to sleep. This night was very charming, but also scary. I was afraid of the dark and I was scared there might be a big bear or wolf. So I couldn’t sleep very well. The next day, we got up early and looked at the beautiful scenery.

Before this experience, when I did something, if it was too hard, I always gave up. I think I am not a patient girl. In my memories, I didn’t go outside through the night before. My parents think that is dangerous. But this time, my parents allowed me to go outside. I was so surprised. I think I have enough bravery to do other things after. My friends didn’t have this experience before, so they also changed a lot.

After this experience, I have become more persistent and braver. I know the scenery I did not see before. My friends and I are so happy that we went outside with each other. In the process, we united and our relationship becomes better.

Admire And Be Different

Three things I have learned from my parents.

l  True Love                                                                                      

My parents are affectionate. When I see some show talks about the marriage life. It talks about someone doesn’t like their marriage life and they always fight with each other. When I saw these things, I would feel I was so lucky I have so nice parents. At home, my mother like a queen, she doesn’t need do anything. My father like maid, but he would not feel the ‘job’ is bad. Sometimes I would ask my father, ‘why you like use this attitude for my mother, but not for me?’ When my father hears the sentence, he always smile and told me your mother is my wife, I have the responsibility let her happy. I love your mother. Of course include you, my daughter. I admire this life.

 l  Dependable

My parents are dependable. They have their own work. They let me feel reassuring. People always said ‘Home is life's harbor.’ The word is true, when you feel tired; you want to go back home and relaxed. And when you meet problems, you would think of your family. In my eyes my parents can solve any trouble for me. They all so smart. Of course, my parents’ friends like to them for help. It means my parents are dependable. I want to be like this.

l  Funny

 My father is so funny. Every children like him. He always has many jokes. Therefore, my mother and I never feel boring. When my father feel the atmosphere is not hot, he will let the state change. I like this skill.

One way I want my life to be different for my parents

l  More time for fun

Since my parents are businessman, they don’t have enough time for fun. I don’t like this, I want to work add relax. My parents don’t have weekends. When I saw other kids can go outside with their parents on weekends. I would feel lonely. So I don’t want my children like this, I would spend time for fun.
