Religious Service

In most Chinese eyes, temple is a very sacred place. And people need be respect to it. I had a chance to go there with my family
At past, when I was young, I didn’t know what a religion is. Now, I am growing with the time, something that I know. Different countries have different religions. We are in China, and most of Chinese believe in Buddhism. And there are three other religions in China except Buddhism. They are Taoism, Islam, and Christianism. Christianism also belongs to world, western people also believe in it. That day, I went to the temple, there were many rooms, people can into everyone. Looked everyone’s expression, I could find wishes and clam for them. They wanted to go there to relax and improve their own sensibility. Buddha for people likes a helper; it is the same as Jesus, the common between different religions are all just have a god, so they can follow the god’s way to do the things. It is a very huge bailment. This temple is not very big, but also has lots of people to visit. The condition in there was very quiet and true. Nobody talked loudly and my mother and I were kowtowed to the Buddha. The behavior about the action is important; we should use right behavior to do in the temple. In temple, it has many rules to obey. So you cannot do anything you want in the temple, it is about different culture when my mom and I finished the chapel, we also took the photos there. I think it can as a part of portfolio and it also a special experience for me.

Be a volunteer to teach students

On 25th March, our planning teacher Ms. Bartell arranged us as a group to be a volunteer to teach primary school students English. Before we went to the primary school we prepared a lot, in order to not let them feel bored we made some uno cards and tried to teach them how to play it. However, when we arrived there we found those students were too excited and they just wanted to play games, they even payed no attention to what we teached.

My student was a lovely girl, that's awesome because it was easier to teach, but since all the class wanted to play uno she seemed not really listen to what I was talking about. I didn't like this situation so I told her we would learn some knowledge first, then we would have a little quiz to test how she understand these things. After that, if she did well of course we would play games, but if she didn't we have to restart. This idea worked fantastic, she was interested in uno so she learned very hard and got full marks in the quiz! O(∩_∩)O~ As I promised, we had a great time playing with each other. When I went back, she hugged me and gave her phone number to me.

Through this volunteer work I understand teachers' mind, all they did just be responsible to us and hoped we could have a bright future. I also learnt to be patient and try to stand in the position of other people's thinking, that could make the way to achieve our goals easier. I should admit I gained a lot from this experience. During this process, I had felt a sense of accomplishment, after it I had understand teachers' work better. I deeply realized there are some big differences between work in a group or own your own. As individual, we should prepare all the things and be confident, we must have the ability to face and solve all the problems what would happen. As collaborative, we don't need to do so much work, but we should get along with others well and reveal what you are good at adequately. On the other hand, I wasn't a careful person, but this process trained and changed my characteristic.

In this process, since we acted as a teacher we should be responsible to our students and make sure they all understand. In some ways, this experience has some connections with life skills. Since we know how to work with others and stand in others' situation think problems, we may do better in the future, and it can help us be successful more easily and quickly.

TVXQ! The concert in Nanjing

On 4th Apr I went to Ao Ti-------the biggest gymnasium in Nanjing with some of my classmates to see TVXQ's 3rd concert "Mirotic"~

I have been potty about TVXQ since I was in Grade 8, so I couldn't wait to see them and we arrived at Ao Ti at 1 pm. At first we thought we must be the earliest because the concert would begin at 7.30 pm and we could have a better place to enjoy the concert, but when we saw the endless processions we understood we were wrong. All the fans seemed to be crazy.

The concert was very interesting, because the members of TVXQ worked so hard and were so amiable, Uknow------the leader of the group even use Chinese to salute us. Though his Chinese wasn't so fluent, we could see they had tried best and they spent a lot of time preparing for this event. To us who had supported them for a long time, that is enough. On the other hand, the show was quite wonderful and I really like it because no matter the idea or the performance all look fantastic.

The most important reason I choose this concert to watch is I know Hero was an orphan, his parents gave him up when he was very young. However, he didn't give up himself and he use his own ways to show others he can do it! I was affected by him and I wonder what bolster him achieve success, and after watching the concert I know his assiduity and steadfastness help him become successful. I think this experience was meaningful and unforgettable!

Act in Fashion show

On 27th Apr I joined Fashion show as a model, the show started at 6 o'clock in the dooryard. There were so many people there and all we did would be screened, so we should be prepared and payed attention to all the actions! During the show, we just needed to be confident when we walked on the stage and tried your own way to show the beauty of your clothes. However, since all the Grade 10 students and GCA teachers came to watch the show, you may feel nervous so it also was a chance to learn to control our emotions.

The show was fantastic, all the models did a rally great job and their clothes were nice. But at first I did want to join it because I am a little bit shy and I didn't want to wear cloth in front of so many people, that seemed to be a kind of strange to me. At that time, my art teacher and group members gave me courage, they believed I could did it and they also helped me practiced before it began. That really worked, I didn't feel discomposed when I walked in front of lots of people. I was shook by myself because I never thought I could be the focus among plenty of people, and I felt I was successful. On the other hand, through this event I realized I could do anything I want with confident and ardour!

Impossible is nothing, just do it!

Foreign cultures

At 6p.m. my family and I went to Bella Napoli which in Xinjie kou to have a dinner, and tried to feel the different cultures.

We chose this resturant because this is the first Ltalian resturant in Nanjing, we believe it can let us feel Ltaly directly. The food there was quite different from Chinese traditional food. First, the drink was very beautiful, just like you see on the picture and it tast strange. The first time you felt a little bitter, but after that you may intoxicated with it's fantastic tasty. The pudding and the noddles were delicious, too! I really enjoy them~

On the other hand, the environment there were also very nice. The soft music sounded comfortablely and made people feel relaxed. Everyone in the resturant talked freely and happily, such sentiments were infected with each person. There are also some foreigners there, their eating behavior seemed to be more formal than ours. BTW, the waitress were friendly and paid all their attentions to every ustomer. However, it syill has some disadvantages, the price is a little expensive, but it is worth you having a try.

A special exhibition

This afternoon, my family and I went to Nanjing Museum to watch a special exhibition which include jades, silks and potteries.
We visited the museum from 2 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. it's means I spent about 150 minutes in it! Though this is a quite long time, I didn't feel bored at all because it was very funny and broadened my horizons. My favourite art work was a quadripod which used to install things in the past with four legs. It was so beautiful and grotesquely that I was shook by it as soon as I sew it. It was made of pink jade with exquisite carvings around, when the shiny lights it seemed especially beautiful and illustrious! It's hard to imagine how the ancient people carved out of such wonderful article just use simple tools.
There were also many interesting things to see, so the exhibition wasn't boring and I love it very much. I think this experiment is very meaningful because through the exhibition we can know the development of our history, and it may encourages us, too. This articles are the symbols of China's splendid culture of five thousand years, so we must protect them at the same time we enjoy it!
