My Volunteer Work In Nanjing Charity Foundation

I am very proud of doing volunteer work in Nanjing Charity Foundation during these there months. I wanted to find a volunteer work three months before but I could not. Rita in our class told me that she was one of the group leaders of Nanjing Charity Foundation. She also wanted me to join her group.
We often go to Houzaimen Community on Sunday. We spent 2 hours there. During these two hours, we often teach students who are in primary school. We teach them English, math and also help them to solve the problems from their homework. We are with them as their teachers and friends. They always asked us some questions first. After we answer to them, they smiled to us. It means they understood the answer.
The most interesting girl I have taught was a clever boy in grade 3. He wanted me to teach him English. He could nit read the new words and the sentences so I read first and let him follow me. He could read it very clearly, but after 30 minutes, I found a problem, If I let him read the sentence by himself, He always forgot how to read it. That's made me repeat the sentences again and again. After he could read it by himself, I also felt very tired and thirsty. By practice a lot, finally, he could read those sentences very well. We were both very happy to that.
Some children put Chinese under the sentence to help them read it but It isn't the meaning of these sentence but the homophony of these sentence. It was a bad way to learn English; I helped them erase these Chinese and told them the true way of learning English. I remembered that when I was a Primary school student, my teacher also taught me too, because at that time I did this wrong thing at the beginning of studying English too.
Volunteer work is a very meaningful job because we can help so many people without any pay. We can also enjoy ourselves and improve our value by helping others. I feel very happy when the students who come from primary smile to me. They like us and also approve us. When they read English sentences after me, we they finish a hard question by themselves, when they understand what I say and when they get more knowledge, I am so happy and believe that giving can help me to be happy.

We also go to Beijing East Road Primary School to teach student from grade 5 about different countries.
I really like this kind of volunteer work. I hope I could keep doing it. I also hope that more and more students will join us. For charity, GO! GO! GO!

Basketball Life

Students in our class, 10-A are crazy about basketball. We have a basketball team. Erick is the leader of the team. There are William, King, Matt, Claude, Charlie, Mike, Avery and me in the team. We always play basketball with each other after school and at weekends. During these three months, we spent more than 10 hours to play. We took photos and made videos.
Basketball is a very famous sport in the whole world. You are rich or poor, tall or short, men or women, if you like it and if you want to have a healthy body, you can play it. I was a very strange boy who did not play any sports in the past. However, when I was 8 years old, I watched a NBA basketball match on TV with my father. I was very surprised. Look at them, they jump, they run, they shoot, they dunk, and they block. How amazing the game is! After that, I started loving the amazing sport.
Playing basketball has many advantages. When you play it, your whole body will exercise. You will get more oxygen, too. It is good for your brain. When I watch NBA basketball matches, I was so excited. When they dunk, they burn their passion. I admire them very. I also want to become tall and tall, so I spend lots of time playing basketball with my friends. In our class, we hold a basketball team. In our basketball team, we have Center Charlie, Power Forward Avery, Small Forward Mike and Chester, Shooting Guard Claude, Joe, King and me and Point Guard Erik and William. We often play basketball together.
On 1st of May in 2009, King, Erik, Matt, and I went to play basketball in Nanjing Changjiang Road Primary School. After we went to Mochou Lake Park that day, we decided to go play basketball. Matt and I had lunch in MacDonald and we met Erik and King at the gate of that school. We were out of control and could not wait for playing even 1 second. We played the whole afternoon. Erik and I tried to dunk and we were successful. We took photos to record this exciting time. I felt very hot after playing basketball with them. I was also very tired because we played a 4vs4 game with other students from other school. Erik was on fire to got 12 points. I got 8 points. Matt was so bad to be blocked by others. It was a really funny day.
I play very to make myself a very healthy body. Our teammates teach each other, enjoy playing basketball, improve our skills and learn team spirit. It is a very good way for us to learn team work. Also, we can improve our body. Some of our team members will join GCA basketball team. It is a very good chance for them to play with other school and to learn from them.I hope our team will be better and better! If you want to play basketball with us, COME ON!!!

I Am The Superstar

GCA fashion show is one of the most interesting events of GCA. Every year, different students and teachers wear different clothes which designed and made by students to show us different styles of school uniform and informal party clothes. Other students and teachers always go to the show and enjoy themselves.
This year, students from grade 10 are still interested in it. We designed many beautiful clothes. Our group designed school uniform. I was so lucky to be the model. I was also very worried that I could not be a good model. I watch so many video about the fashion show because I wanted to learn how to be a good model.
We made the clothes by my size. There were a shirt and black jeans. The shirt was so cool because of the blue small flowers on it. We prepared for about 3 weeks on the fashion show. I practiced walking on the stage, looking at people who sit near the stage and the “stop” on the stage.
Firstly, Dennis said that I was the ugliest model of the world because I walked and stopped very badly. I was very sad to hear that but I became better and better because of the practicing. Finally, Dennis said I would be very successfully in the fashion show.
I was very nervous that day. I tried to calm down and walked onto the stage. The lights were shine and people were smile to me. I am very happy that I do.
I love that feeling!

The Taming of The Shrew

On the 19th December 2008, there was a play in GCA-The Taming of The Shrew. The Taming of The Shrew is a very famous story which is written by Shakespeare, the most famous writer of the world. Avery, Chester and I were very interested in it so we bought three tickets and decided to go to the play.
We had dinner in the small restaurant near our school. After that, we went back to school and got the introduction of the play at the gate. We read very carefully before the play starting. We knew that the main character Katharina, who is an intelligent, but grumpy shrew, unwillingly married a nobleman, Petruchio. Afterwards, Petruchio “tamed” his wife into an obedient and gentle woman.
When the play started, every one was very quiet and looked forward on this wonderful play. I saw that Avery’s and Chester’s eyes were quite big and looked the stage very carefully. During the play, no one talked loudly or described others. Every one enjoyed the play very much.
My favorite actress was Cherry in grade 12. She played the role of Katharina. She made a intelligent, but grumpy shrew for every body who watched the play. She also used her beauty and acting skills to conquer us. Students and teacher were clapped for her. She was there as a super star.
I was very happy to watch this play. I felt the western culture form it. I hope I could play a role next year.

Happy Time In Mochou Lake Park

This morning, I went to Mochou Lake Park with my classmates. We had very wonderful time there. Mochou Lake Park is a famous scenic spot in Nanjing. We saw the advertisement in Ms. Bartell’s Map magazine. It said there would be a public event-Haitang flower exhibition there. We are interested in it. However, we did not know how many people would go together.
Yesterday night, Erik and Matt called me and asked me to go to Mochou Lake Park with them today. I was very glad to hear that. I also asked King, Rita, Chester and Chester’s girlfriend Cindy. This morning, we met at the south gate of Mochou Lake Park. Erik, Matt, King and I were late because the traffic was so bad. Dennis was a little angry. After that, we bought and went into the park.
Firstly, we could not find the way to go to the exhibition. I was so clever to ask the workers in the park. It was very friend for them to tell us how to get the exhibition. We talked and made jokes very happily when we were on the way to the exhibition. We were very surprised when we got there. There were so many kinds of Haitang flowers there. We took the photos and read the information on the cards near each flower very carefully.
At the end, we took photos at the gate of the exhibition together. I was happy to stay with our cute classmates especially Dennis. I was also very to learn so many things about the flowers. I hope I would visit there again.
