The Honest Ed's Trip

Last Friday, we had a trip to Honest Ed's. It is a big mall. Our teacher took us to visit many buildings around the mall. Though it was raining, we were interested in the history of those old buildings.

After the trip, we went to a Korean restaurant and had a wonderful lunch. My Korean classmate said this Korean restaurant was not very good, but we still thought it was delicious. Maybe we were just hungry.

We had an interesting experience after lunch. When we took the subway to go home, we needed to transfer to another subway. But my classmates and I did not notice the direction of the subway. After 20 minutes, we found out that we were on a wrong subway train. We took out the map to check. Then a lady came and asked us if we needed help. We said no thank you to her, because it was easy to find the right way back. Then we transferred two more times to get home. When we got home, we felt very tired.

This is Honest Ed's

Jade's story

Today, my classmate Jade told us a true story. It's a good story.

It happened during War II. A boy named Chi lived in a small village. Some American soldiers lived in the same village because they were preparing to resist the Japanese army. They felt bored, they just walked around the village every day, and they could not find anything interesting. One day, they saw Chi coming to them, and Chi had a basket with some eggs. The boy gave them the eggs, and they found him so cute that they gave him some canned food. The boy was eleven years old. The soldiers felt happy because the boy met them every day. The boy's father asked them to teach his son English, After then the boy lived with them for three years. They got along well.

The soldiers went back to the United States in 1949. Both of them cried at the airport. They wanted to take the boy with them，but they couldn't. After they went back to their country, they ofter got together and talked about Chi, because they missed him. One of them got a letter from Chi in 1980, and Chi told them that he wanted to visit them. The soldiers bought tickets for their friend to go to USA. They lived together for one year. Chi said that he missed his family, so the soldiers gave him money to help them come to the USA. They also gave Chi $5,000 to open a restaurant. Other people wondered why they gave so much to Chi. They said that Chi gave them a lot of happiness when they lived in the small village, so they just wanted to reward Chi, and it was worth it.

After Jade told the story, we were touched. I think if we want other people treat us very good, we need to treat them very good firstly.

Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is very popular today. It can make people look younger and more beautiful. When a person becomes younger, she/he will have more confidence to do things better than before. Many movie stars ask their doctors to give them plastic surgery. After that, they become beautiful. But when they have more plastic surgery, it is harmful to their health. the plastic surgery make them look weird and they can't smile normally. Plastic become poisonous after it is left in the body for many years, and it is difficult to remove from the body. If it's not necessary, don't have plastic surgery.

We have sour cherries,and we top it off with Brandy and chestnuts. But what about drinks? Raspberry cider. You take the apple cider or apple juice, if you prefer, a little bit of frozen conentrate raspberry, a little bit of connamon and sugar. You put it all in a big sourcepan, and boil it. And for a special cider, how about , cinnamon, and bit of Courvoisier liqueur? It's served in a champagne glass, it's warm, and you add a little bit of a cinnmon stick to it, and you're definite set for the holiday!

Our field trip yesterday

Yesterday, the teacher took us to the job fair. We met at the Don Mills subway station at 9:30am. Then we took the subway to the Union subway station. We arrived the job fair centre at 10:00. There were many people in the hall. A young girl told me some informations about my field, and she asked me to give her my E_mail address. She said that she would send me more informations about my field.


When I filled in a form, I heard a person spoke Mandrain. I thought many Chinese went to the job fair. But when I put up my head. I was really surprise, because he was Canadian, not Chinese. I was excited, I asked him how long he had studied Mandrain. He said three years. I wonder why he can speak Mandrain so fluncy. So I talked with him about ten minutes. He said he had taught english in Taiwan for three years. After class, nobody spoke English only Mandrain. But his Mandrain was really good. When I talked with him, I spoke in normal speed and I changed several topics, he never said "pardon" and he understood very well. He seldom had the accent. Even he can write Mandrain, he explain his chinese name to me, he knew the meaning of his name very well. I thought it was great after I studied english three years I can speak english fluncy .

My Son Goes To Kindergarten

Today I took my son to register in kindergarten . He was excited, because his good friends study in that school too. If he goes to the kindergarten, he needs to get up early than before. I think it's good for him. He likes reading books, listening stories and music. He has lots of interest in learning new knowledge. He always asked me many questions, but some of them I didn't know what the answers were, then I asked him what he thought about them. He imaged them and his answers were funny. I hope he can enjoy himself in the new school.

Last weekend

Last weekend, my son asked me to take him to the Parkway Mall. That day was a good day. My son wore a hat and sunglasses. He felt very happy; so he sang and jumped.
When we reached to the Mall, there were a few people shopping. My son said that he wanted to go to the library. There, he selected three books he liked. Then he asked me to buy a new car for him. He always likes toy cars. After he got a new car, he held it carefully. He told me that he loved it.
Finally, he said he wanted to go to the Metro. I asked him why he wanted to go there. He said that he was hungry, so he asked me to buy some cookies for him. After that, we went back home, we felt very tired, but it was worth it.

My good friend will go to the high school

Today is Friday. Many classmates went home early.
My good friend Michael will go to the high school next week. We have studied English for almost one year. He is a good student. He is a teacher's pet. He studied more diligently than me; so he often made fun of my vocabulary and pronunciation. His vocabulary is larger than mine, but my grammar is better than his. We all took a pronunciation class. Now, I think my pronunciation is better than his. But he said the teacher said his pronunciation was nearly as good as a native speaker's. I said the teacher was only encouraging him. We need to take more time to practise our English.
