Saturday, November 4th 2006

Today was the Kaohsiung exercise competition(高雄市健康操比賽). It is at the culture center. Our school Her Bin elementary school went to the competition. There were a lot of school teams at there. I was very nervous. I think that somebody at our team will do something wrong or not doing in the right way. I like to do the exercise but, some of the classmates didn’t like to do the exercise. My teacher, principal, and general went to the culture centre to watch the competition. When it was our turn we were really nervous. Then the competition start the music started we were doing the exercise everyone did the right exercise but we didn’t have a price! We didn’t know that who is the 1st. But we did our best!! At last when we finish the exercise competition there was another cow competition we need to use tetra pack to make a cow. We didn’t have enough tetra pack and we lost again. We were very disappointed. At last we went back to school. We were very happy at last we went back to our home!!

What a Magic Story Telling

Saturday, October 21, 2006
Today was a really fun day! Today we have heard a story called “The great big enormous turnip”. The story started on 2:30. The speech had 90 minutes long. Actually, the audience came in twos and threes to give a show after story time. The teller was a British woman. Her name is Cassandra. After the speech, she said we are brilliant! After that, we go to rock climbing. My brother and I went to play “Sky Climbing”. It is a climbing machine that tells you how fast your rock climbing is. We went on climbing. First we climbed a 3×7 square rock climbing. We went on with a 5×6 rock climbing with a rope. We tried a rock climbing 3 stories high! That was enormous! After the activities, we had to pick a card from the box. I got a toy from McDonald’s. And everything went on with happiness.
What a great day!!

Cricket

Sunday, February 12, 2006
Today we went to a school named Fongshan senior high school. We played cricket with our friend named Michael who is from England and his friend named James who is Chinese. This was the first time I played with them. Cricket is an Australian game. You have 12 players in each team. There are two innings and one captain for each team. You get out people by being caught, bowled, and lbw (leg before wicket). To score, you have two wickets you run to the other side to score. I stet cricket because when I went to Australia I watched five cricket tests. I like the way that they play so I learned it and I know how to play it. The end the score was 19-32 and we won the game. I liked playing, but in Michael’s team they were all very good at cricket. We still won. We had a good time. We wanted to play again.

A Trip to Alishan

Monday, January 23~24
Alishan is a very beautiful place. In Alishan there are 5 beautiful views – Sunrise, Sea of Clouds, Sunset Clouds, Forest Railways, Forest.
If you want to see Sunrise and Sea of Clouds you need to get up very early in the morning. You will need to catch the forest train at 6 o’clock, and the temperature is low. The forest train will take you to Zhushan. Zhushan’s elevation is 2489m. There is a sunrise viewing house on Zhushan. The view will be beautiful. Why is the cloud named sea of the clouds in the Alishan, because the cloud looks like the waves. If you're curious about the Zhushan sunset (祝山日落), on weekends and holidays there is in fact a late-afternoon tourist train that chugs up the mountain to see it. The forest train is one of the mountain train in the world. Many years ago the mountain train took woods from Alishan to the city, but right now it sends passengers to do the sightseeing. There is a big big big forest that has a forest bath trail to let you have a forest bath. There are lots of big trees; the oldest one has an age of 3000!!!!!!!! Also there are lots of flowers, animals and some views in the forest. At last I think the way to Alishan is like a snake, because you turn left and right and left and right and left and right and will make you go crazyBut some people will get car sick. Car Sick in Chinese is「暈車」but my brother Max always says: 「車暈」Everyone laugh a lot!!!!!!!!
