(*^__^*)


I like a variety of activities, active and wild ones like camping, sports and parties to quiet ones like reading and watching TV. I like to be outdoors,to participate in sports and to do daring things. For example, several friends and I once took a trip down a wild river in a raft. We spent a week navigating dangerous currents, camping at night, fixing our own meals and having much fun. I also like to do risky things such as skiing, and mountain climbing, but I don't do them often and am very careful.
In contrast,there are also many quiet private things that I enjoy doing. I have spent whole days reading a book, and I occasionally stay up late at night with a good novel. Sometimes, too, I like to spend a relaxed evening watching light TV programs, or talking with friends about serious matters over a glass of wine. In other words, I like to do different things, depending on the mood I am in and the kind of people I am around.

A Special Encounter

It started to blow wind while I was on my way to school. Sitting on the train, I couldn’t help thinking of the little girl whom I had met under the overhead bridge at the city center. She was about ten years old in a tattered red dress, which was obviously sewn over many times. Looking frail and small, almost overwhelmed by the crowd, she was stooping near a trash can searching for thing which she considered useful. The little girl was surrounded by trash, oblivious to the people around her. I noticed that what she collected were papers: newspapers, advertisement leaflets and some little pieces of paper with colorful pictures and characters. They seemed ordinary, yet the little girl was smiling at them every now and then. She put the papers in order, took out a small string and strung them together; she seemed satisfied with her handiwork.
Later, she gathered up the papers with both hands and went over to a corner of the overhead bridge. I was confused as she sat down on the ground and began reading those papers. Her expression changed like the weather, sometimes she laughed, and sometimes she knitted her brows. My interest was piqued; and quietly I walked towards her. However, when I said “Hi”to her, she was rather frightened. She stood up at once and said “sorry” to me again and again. The little girl must mistook my status, so I explained to her that I was just a stranger here and wanted to ask her something.
After that, she became happy quickly. Then she told me with her strong accent that she never thought there’s someone would speak to her so friendly. For hearing that, I felt upset even a kind of crime. I smiled and talked to her for minutes.

no tittle

I can’t remember how many days went by. The winter is leaving without coming back recently. The weather of spring is similar with summer. Everything is change violently in this season. It was warmer now, and the snow was beginning to melt. There was a massive of snow covering the ground before the rising temperature. Snow is melt into a small brook. On my way to school, I find a squirrel that I have not seen it for a long time. It is believed that the long cold winter should say goodbye to me. Indeed, I should do more exercises in order to breathe much fresh air. I pack my entire overcoat together, because it is unnecessary to wear such thick clothing.

I find a surprising affair in library. When I passed by the door of library. I saw a man kissing a lady. They ignored the fact that many passerbies were looking at them. When I left library (I stayed here for one hour), it is unbelievable that these two guys were still………… I really admire their perseverance. It is possible that a newcomer will regard them as a realistic statue in the library. There is no denying that they are able to break a new record in the world.

On the way to my house, I felt pretty sleepy in C-train. Suddenly, I heard a loud voice, “ It is so funny to take a train” afterwards, another person also use a loud voice, “ look at the outside, the train can move” When I turned around, I found two middle-aged women. I realized the truth of their actions immediately. I can sympathize with those who have lost something ones.
I should cherish the memory of current days.

on mood

On Mood
What accnompanies you all your life is not fortune and fame nor youth and appearance, but your mood or the state of mind which controls your life. As man in the modern age, our moods are as ehangable as the cars coming and going on the super-high way. A favor from a neighbour, a kiss of a child, a praise from others are like warm sunshine that makes us comfortable. Bat a rough word from a stranger, a false product bought from the store, or an insulting remark in fun would put you in a bad mood and make your heart sink.
A good mood makes one happy, energetic and creative. I was once shut in an elevator for one and a half hours. I had to phone for help. Eventually I was released, it was fun because I was in a happy mood. Otherwise I would have felt miserable.A bad mood is bad enough to cause you to lose self-confidence and leaves you helpless with all your worries and troubles in mind.More often than not, we are in a mixed mood. Sometimes we are happy and high-spirited. Sometimes we are in low spirits. At this time we have to take courage and have a change of mood.A good mood will accompany you on your way to the palace of success, to the chamber of love and to pleasure and barmony in life. With a happy mood, we can live a more substantial life, one that is more interesting and meaningful.So, always remember to keep a happy mood wherever you go or whatever you do.
