Haitang flower

During this may holiday, I went to Nanjing Mochou lake to enjoy the haitang flower with my classmates in the afternoon. We met each other at the north gate. By the way, we also saw the beautiful views of this park. Sky was making jokes on Denis all the times. That was a sunny day, everyone was in a good mood. It’s like the 10-A’s special spring out.
Haitang flower is a very beautiful flower. The professional name of this flower is Malus spectabilis. It was grown in north east, and Chinese believe that it represents tender and beautiful. There are many kinds of haitang flowers in the garden. Most of them grow in china. The parks were fall of haitang flower. My classmates and I all like it. We do not have many chances to enjoy flower when we have classes. We even do not know that there are many different kinds of Haitang flowers. When we were walking in the park, we all enjoy it very much.
Haitang is a kind of tree like apple tree. The flowers of them are very beautiful. And also it is a kind of fruit like apple. It’s very delicious. I think many people will like this beautiful and tasty plant. Although the flowers looked great, I am not the expert of plants. I felt boring, but 10-A won’t let us feel boring. We took a lot of funny photos. King and Erik did a lot of funny pose. It was not a good way to say that everyone enjoyed the plants, but everyone enjoyed the short trip.

volunteer work

I like play pool very much. I often play pool in Jufeng pool club. After every round, we need the waiter to help us to organize the balls. But if the waiters are too busy to organize the balls, we often organize the balls by ourselves. Most of us can organize the balls very quickly, almost as fast as the waiters., but some new players cannot. This term, I go to the pool club to work as a volunteer. I go there every Friday night with 10-D Cindy. We usually help them to do some cleaning work and organize the balls. Sometimes some people go there by themselves. They always play with themselves. It’s very boring. So sometimes they want the waiter to play with them. I’m very pleasure that if they play with me, because I like to play pool with different people and I’m glad to play the free pool.
Sometimes some people are not so good at pool but they are very interesting in playing it. When I play with them. I can teach them how to play pool very well and help them to practice. It's always can make them to play longer so they need to pay more money.
I think it is very good for me to work as a voluntee there because I like play pool and when I work as a volunteer I can practice my pool skill. I hope I can play pool better in the future and can have a good job in the future.

christian church

On December 24th, I went to Mochou road Christian church with Avery in the afternoon.
The inner part of the church looks old but the outside looks very beautiful. It has long wooden chair and a big title of “ Jesus loves you”. Because that is the day before Christmas day, there are a lot people there. A lot of people sang the Christmas song there, and the clergyman had a speech about Jesus’ birth in English. He looks kind and politely. That’s very interesting. We listened very carefully and we learn a lot of things that we can’t study in the class.
There are not many Chinese go to church. Most of Chinese don’t believe Jesus. Chinese don’t believe Jesus make every thing in the word. Only some old Chinese believe that there are goats in the word. But I think it is not good. If people only believe there are goats in the word. They will hopeless and afraid of every thing. But the people believe Jesus can have more hope about there own life. If they got some troubles, they may think that Jesus can help them. If they do some right things, and also if they do something bad they think Jesus will punish them. It is just like other believes.
I learnt a lot today. Although I don’t believe Jesus, I think that is a good way to learn western culture by go to the church. It’s a very valuable experience for me!
