performance

Last December, Mike found me with the help of Mr. Butler who has graduated.He said he was the leading singer of the band GCA. Now most of the members of the band are graduating. As a matter of fact the band exists only in name. with the aim of rebuilding the band, he came back from Canada during the Christmas holiday. I accepted his invitation to join the team but really hastily.Mike continued to be the leading singer and guitarist while I was the co-guitarist-player. Jordan in 10A became the bassist, Anthony as another guitarist and Liu Xingchen as the drummer. We took part in a Christmas performance within one month of our rebuilding. Otherwise, I don’t want to put much emphasis on that performance what I am going to talk about is the coming performance in the NFLS Foreign Language Festival. The two founders left china shortly after the holiday. Anthony also left because of some studying problems. Only two of us left. The major problem was how to how find the drummer and the guitarist. Through great efforts, Jordan found Mark who was in 11th grade. I found Zorro and made him the temporary bassist. Another day I chatted with my classmate online. He told me that vice president Only wanted us to perform in the festival. I heisted for a while because I didn’t know whether our band were competent. I discussed with my teammate. Finally they agreed. Then we started our difficult rehearsal journey.We started with Enter Sandman. Lacking of instruction, it became a mission impossible for us. The song was beyond our ability. So we changed into Zombie. We had a good time in the practice room. We rehearsed together, played together and ate together. What was more important, we gave a successful performance. I am very grateful to meet these good friends.

On May 2nd, sandy and I went to a catholic church. It's a small church. About 100seats, but kinds of people went to this church and listen father’s pray. This church that we went to was raising money for there new church. So I donated 200 RMB for this church because I’m a cathonic,too. Father is a 70 years old man, he has short white hair and wearing a suit. He told us that the most important part of Catholics is respect god. He said that not only you say that you respect god, but also use your behavior to show that you respect the god. He said there are lot of avidence that government give us to prove that there is a flood happen in the earth.It means the story of Noah’s ark. such as coal and oil. And scientist found that there is a huge thing seat in Arctic, just like a ark!Holy bible says: In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the aerth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, let there be light, and there was light. And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness he calld Night, And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.It means that everything that we have is given by God, We need to respect God, love God, do things that good for people, God will give us a beautiful future/

Yesterday, Sandy and her grandfather and I went to NanJing Olympic center to watch Vitas’s poformance. There are lot of people here when we arrived.fortunatly we got the VIP tickets, so we can see vitas easily.
The poformence begin at 7:30. When Vitas appered in front of our eyes, a lot of people behind me were crazy and shout his name.I fell a little confiues about that because I don’t know why people will be carzy by a singer like that. In fact, I almost don't know anything about that singer.But when he began to sang. I totally change my mind.
His voice is so beautiful that I can not imagine.His voice is high and let me feel very comfortable,at first he wearing a red clothes, looks fashion.The first song names:.it's a beautiful song.then he sang a chinese song, his unique voice attracts me.

On the stage, there also had a wonderful band. The band includes a guitarist, a drummer, a bass player and so on. While Vitas was singing, there were many dancers as well. They all dance very well. Once, Vitas invited a kid to dance with him. They acted like robots and were very interesing.

I really love this concert and I plan to go to Vitas concert again with my sister because she is a big fan of Vitas.

volunteer work

On April, I'm going to be a volunteer to meet Danmark students. It's Sunday morning. Mike ma and I went to school together, we arrived at school about 8:30. There is just a few people here. Danmark student’s also didn’t arrived. But I saw some international students waitting in front of the school gate.I didn’t know if they are danmark students. So Ms. Bartell told me ask them. I went to the school gate and said: Excuse me, are your Danmark international students? The answer is yes. So I let them followed me to go to the GCA’s building. I’m so surprised that the Denmark student’s were so “big”. It means they almost university students. All of these students are taller than me, include the female leader--- Ms. Bartell’s best friend.
At 9:00am, all of the volunteers went to school. We are having a short meeting. We separated by lots of groups. 2 or 3 GCA students and 1 Denmark student in a group. Fortunately, there are 2 Denmark students in my group. Mike ma, Justin and I leaded them saw a lot of place around NFLS. They asked me that what do you know about Denmark, I said Andersen. They said Andersen is very famous in the world. I agree, because I read Andersen’s fairy tale since I was in primary school. There are lot of story in our text book are written by Andersen. The Denmark students were friendly and like to tell jokes. When we let him to go to dormitory, I asked: Do you live in dormitory in Denmark? One of the student said yes, the other one said no, he rent a house and live with his girlfriend. “He is a lucky bastard.” Said the frist student, and all of us were laughing. When we finished looking school, we let them went out of the school and bought some stamp, they want sent post card to Denmark, so they need these stamp. But there is a little stamp left, so we went to GULOU post card office and bought enough stamp. They also want to by suit. But I really didn’t know where the suit store is. I just tell them if they went to XINJIEKOU, maybe they could find the suit store.
It time for lunch, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I have to say goodbye to them. And they were very kind and say thanks to me.

Eat at a Swiss restaurant with my friends

I went to BEBBIES which is a Swiss restaurant under the 1st floor of Orient on 15th Feb with my friends. We reached the restaurant at about half past ten in the morning on 15th February. Unluckily, the waitress told us that there were only materials of beefsteaks left in the restaurant because of the Valentine’s Day.
There are four kinds of beefsteaks that are served. I ordered the Juicy Tenderloin Beefsteak for my lunch. It looked delicious and there were some broccolis, French Fries and pepper sauce around the beefsteak as well. I love the taste of the sauce. Although it was a little bitter, I’m used to this flavor. The beefsteak was hard to chew and I only ate half of it.
On 28th February, I went to this Swiss restaurant again with Sandy in the evening. This time I tasted the real Swiss food and I ordered cheese fondue. It also served fresh fruits, hams, bread, mushrooms and potatoes. Sandy and I did not like the taste of cheese because there are some wines mixed in. It tasted strange so that we decided to eat the food without dipping the cheese. The cheese fondue is very famous and has a long history in Switzerland. But I think most Chinese are not used to putting wines into the cheese. It does not like the food that I eat before. I seldom put hams and potatoes to dip something and I think the taste will not be pure.
We went there too early first time and there was nobody. On the second time, there were some foreigners. Everybody ate and talked very quietly. There is a big toy cow in front of the restaurant and many other decorations, such as vases, drums and little people wearing Swiss style clothes. The environment is sweet and quiet and the service is great and the waitresses are very friendly. I really enjoy eating there. I will recommend my family members to go this restaurant.

Go to Nanjing Art Museum

I went to Nanjing Art Museum which is on No.12 Fourth Alley with my friends. We arrived there at 10 o’clock in the morning on 29th February. The exhibition in the museum showed photographs and paintings about Indonesia Bali by Zhang Wenxi who is a famous artist.
All the artworks in museum describe the beautiful views, a great people and the special religion in Bali Island. This free museum did not provide any tickets and brochures. We choose this museum to visit because it is not far away.
There were plenty of photographs and paintings in the exhibition and they were beautiful and attractive. My favorite artwork is a painting which describes the harvest time in fall. The artwork shows that in the fields, all the crops are ripe and people in Bail Island are busy getting in the crops. I think the drawing of a great number of crops just like a golden blanket. In the painting, every farmer wears Bali style clothes which have lots of colors and everybody works very hard. Artist also draws some children who are helping their parents and they all look very lively. All these characters are vivid and colorful. Artist draws some trees near the field as well and this makes the artwork brilliant and charming. People will never feel brad and boring seeing this artwork. I enjoyed the views and learn lots of interesting things about lifestyles in Indonesia Bali Island because of this exhibition. It is worth for me to spend time in this museum. I think Bali Island is a really beautiful place to have a vocation.

Volunteer work

I like to be a volunteer! Yes! I never think about that there is too much happiness during the volunteer work. That’s the reason why I spend time on it and really wants to do more!
Six mouths ago, I did not do any volunteer work. I always hear people saying that being a volunteer is very interesting. But now, I realize that volunteer work will bring you a lot of happiness.
My first volunteer work was in a community, my job is a teacher. That’s a rainy day, there are very strong wind on the outside. My classmate and I went to a community. I did not want to be late in the first time to be the volunteer, so I went there very early. But they did not open the door. We just can stay outside and crouched, because it’s so cold. Thanks goodness, the leader in this community came there soon, and she took some young children. Then we came into the house and stood in front of the warm air-condition. This was the best time in the world!! Soon, we warmed up and started to work.
I needed to teach a primary student, he is very cute and quite. But he is a hard-working boy because I saw that there were a lot of notes in his textbook. My job was to teach him some words, like big, small, long, and short. He learned it very fast, and he can memorize it well. So I can teach him very quickly. When I finished teaching him, we played together, I gave him my PSP, and he learned how to play games, to my surprised, he can learn how to play games very fast as well! He is a smart boy. I like him very much.
I did volunteer work for Ms. Bartell, too. Mike and I helped her to check student blog links. And cleaned the lobby, because there were a lot of things in the lobby’s corner. Those things were used in Halloween and Christmas’ party. Our social class’ teacher also helped us to buy McDonald. And we ate lunch together. That was very funny!
I remember that I also helped Ms. Bartell to translate a Chinese story. This story’s name is "little horse cross the river ". It’s very easy for me to read and understand in Chinese because when I was just 6 years old, I have already read this book. But if you want to translate it into English, it’s a little hard. Because some Chinese words can not translate into English words directly. I just could translate them into sentences.
I spend a lot of time on it, but I feel good because during these volunteer works, I learned a lot of things, I know that help other people is the same to help yourself, when you help other people, you can learn more things that you can’t learned before.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

During the Spring Festival, I went to Long Shan gymnasium to finish my 10h physical activity.
The boss who in Long Shan gymnasium called Wen Chen. He is a 40 years old man. He is very tall, and very strong. He has small eyes and big nose. His muscles are strong; he didn’t have too much hair. Just a bit of hair gathers on his calvaria. When I met him in the first time, I feel a little scared, because he is too strong and let me feel uncomfortable. But when I talked to him later, I think he is a very kind man. He is a conversable person, and we talked about a lot of things. He asked me what kind of sports I like to play. I said badminton and table tennis. He asked me:” Do you like to play basketball or football or something can let you perspiration and very tired? ” I said: No, I don’t like to do that, I’m thin and short, so I can’t play that. Mr. Chen thinks a while, and he said: well, if you don’t like play that, I suggest you to play…….
I followed Mr. Chen and we went to a house called Cardiovascular Machines training, Mr. Chen said: It will help you to exercise your pectoral. I was very surprised that there are a lot of adult in it. There are no teenagers in it except me. I feel a little confuse: Why should I “play” in this way??!! Mr. Chen said: These machines will help you to practice your physical force. It’s very important.
So I have to stay in this area for at least 10 days!! Oh my gosh!! That’s terrible! But I have to face it, and I know it’s very good for my health. If I just sleep and eat during this Spring Festival, I will be very fat…… that’s not good for health of course. In fact, it’s a terrible goal for me to achieve because I didn’t have any experience about it.
To my surprised, I completed the mission over. I exercise 2 hours a day. I think if you concentrated on a thing, and want to be better. You can exert you potential, and do a lot of things that you can’t imagine before. I just use 5 days to finish it, and I’m very happy that Mr. Chen was very glad to give me his verification. It means I finished a part of my homework, and I met a good friend: Mr. Chen. And I helped him to do things that he can’t do it by himself. I teach him about what is “pay it forward” (it’s another homework for me) I think if I have free time in the future, I will go there with my father, I think my father really needs to do exercise. It’s a good way too help him lose weight!

Guitar Club

To be a leader is a very interesting thing for me because it’s my first time to be a leader. and I really wants to help classmates to learn more about instrument.. I didn’t join any other club because I’m very busy about my own club. My club has more than 20 people in it. I have to make sure everyone can learn. Therefore, I will be a member of the club was divided into four groups, Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday I stay in class and to teach them. During this period, I get to know a lot of new friends, our relations are very good. They also can learn very well, so they learn quickly. I teach is also very easy. When I teach them, I also constantly improve their understanding of the guitar. My own level guitar is also rising. Because I am a self-learning guitar, so my basic of guitar is not very strong. Teach club members in the process, I also improve the basic of guitar skills for myself. At the first time I teach them, I fell some embarrassed because I don’t know how to teach them, although I prepare a lot of things to do. I fell nervous because I never to be a teacher before. But when times goes buy, I fell not very nervous. I can talk to my club members easily. And they can be my friends. There are two Korea students in my club. I can learn a little their language. That’s very interesting.
My best student is Zack. He is my classmate; he has short hair and short height. Look lovely. He likes to play guitar very much because he think it’s cool. When I teach him, I always feel easy because he know everything I talk. And he can practice guitar at home, when he has problem, he always call me, and I help him to solve this problem. We are good friends and we can improve our guitar level together.
Another best student name is Julia. She is a talent in guitar. I just need to talk…and she can obey it and practice…no, she doesn’t need practice. She can play it immediately. I think it’s impossible. But it’s true. The biggest problem is that she is not a hard-working student. So I can’t teach her more, although she is a talent girl. I should tell her she need to work hard.
A new term will come. It’s a challenge for my club. I need to help my club mates. Let more student to join school’s show. That’s my response.

EAT AT ITALIAN RESTAURANT!

On December 18, 2008, we go to the Jack’s Place which is an Italian restaurant with Grade12 students. It is on WangFu Street #53. We chose this restaurant because Grand 12 students recommended us to go there.
I ordered beefsteak, it’s very delicious. I think there are many differences between Italian food and Chinese food. Italian foods are more specific in taste. I also shared a Jacks Supreme Pizza with grade12 students
The pizza was made by Mozzarella, tomato sauce, chicken, beef, green pepper, onion and Parma ham. Although, there was lots of meat in the pizza, you would not feel greasy.
Around the restaurant, there are a great many decorations for the Christmas, such as snowflake and bells. The color of light is yellow and orange which can make people feel harmonious and warm in the restaurant. For me, the environment of the restaurant is suitable. The service was good and the waitresses were very polite and friendly. There weren’t too many people in Jack’s Place except us, so Jack’s Place was not full of hustle and bustle.
I think Jack’s Place is a great restaurant. The price is not very experience here, so I recommended it to my friends.

This artwork shows us the traditional actor’s lifestyle, and it can make us think a lot of things. This famous actor wearing very simple clothes. Why? Because he wants to let us know that simplicity is a good behaviour. Whether you are rich or poor. Ma Sanli always makes jokes to other people laugh.
