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!

taming of the shrew

I went to see the first drama, taming of the shrew in GCA. It was acted by GCA students, even some of the grade 10 students. I never heard this show before; I only know that it was a comedy written by William Shakespeare. The play begins with a framing device, a drunken tinker named Sly is tricked into thinking he is a nobleman by a mischievous Lord. The main plot depicts the courting of Petruchio, a gentleman of Verona, and Katherina, the headstrong, obdurate, and eponymous shrew. She is not willing to be tender, but petruchio uses his way to let Katherina become a elegant woman. Everyone was so surprised because she was a rude woman before.
The show was awesome, Fan was acting Petruchio, the plot of he and Katherina was funny. On the first night of their marriage, Petruchio was tricking Katherina, he made Katherina cannot sleep all night, that made Katherina mad and felt helpless.Cherry in grade 12 acted Katherina’s emotion well. Richard in 10-B looks cute, even he is not the main character. He looks like he is the real character in the drama. Katherina’s sister is unique, she looked silly. She was wearing pink and always brought a mirror, compare to Katherina, they are so different from each other.
I heard something about last year their drama Romeo and Juliet. I think they also did a great job this year, and luckily, we don’t even need to fly to another country to see the William Shakespeare’s drama.

Ancient Chinese jade exhibition

On March 15, 2009, I went to Nanjing museum with Cindy at 2 p.m. It is an official museum with many different galleries. Cindy was more interested in “The Year of Ox, 2009” instead of Ancient Chinese Jade Exhibition, so we went to different galleries. The exhibition includes the development of jade from the Neolithic Age to the Zhou Dynasty. In the ancient times, jade is the symbol of nobles, because jade pendants were really expensive. That’s why I always think jade can represent china.
Chinese had been using jade for thousands year. People use jade to make sculpture and decoration. I saw money, necklaces, and other funerary stuff made of jade in the exhibition. The jade seemed to be old, but still meticulous.
The Jade Suite Threaded with Silver gave me a strong impression. That cloth made by thousands of processing pieces of jade. They used threads of silver to connect the jade. They made this kind of clothes is because they saw jade as sacred stuff. They thought that if they wear this kind of cloth after them dead, their body won't decay, likes the Egyptian mummy. Actually, it won't be.
Whenever before or now, jade is always the symbol of China. It represents Chinese history and culture. I am proud of being a person of the country that owned jade

Having meals in western restaurant

I went to1912 to have lunch with Cindy on March 15th. This restaurant is Round Table Steak House. We went there at 12:30, there were already many people eating there. Cindy and I both played a game called” Knight of the round”, so we decided to go to that restaurant.
We sat in large and tall chairs, let me thought of the meals with Knights, they use forks elegantly. It was warm there, I felt really comfortable. Red is the main color of this restaurant, and it has beautiful roof. I heard music as well, but Cindy told me then, that was singing by a man. His voice was amazing, and his French pronunciation was great. That’s a very romantic place. We ordered Fillet steak. It is the most popular and classic one. The steak was tender and tasted nice, with a little blood. Cindy was crazy about cut the steak because the steak was very thick. Then I helped her to cut the steak in small pieces within a very short time. Cesar salad was fresh with sweet sauce and the ham was very delicious. Cindy ordered Fruit salad instead, because she didn’t want to get fat. Our dessert were Fruit Ice-cream with caramel around it. It was icy and nice.
This restaurant was delicious. It’s a real western restaurant. The waiters here were polite and handsome. They wore very grandee suits. There was also some other GCA students from 10-F eating there. This is a nice place for lovers and businessman. That was a really enjoyable lunch!

volunteer

Today I went to Nanjing Brain Hospital with my girlfriend and our classmates in middle school to be the volunteers. There are many children have some problems with their brain and live in the hospital. They don't have many friends and always feel lonely. We need to play with them and try our best to make them happy.My girlfriend and I helped a little girl. She seems to be about 10 years old. She got autism so she seldom talks to others. First, we played games with her. My girlfriend took out two bars of chocolate. We played some little games, and the winner can eat the chocolate. At first the girl only laughed but never talked. Then I take out a paper, the girl, my girlfriend and I drew pictures on it. She is very clever and we drew some very cute pictures. She began to say a little word to us. Then Children played game together. All of the children like us very much. At last I gave the girl a bar of chocolate as a present. She is so happy and she wants us can always go there to play with her. They are the kids who got some problems with their mind, I felt so sad about that. We are the children who have good environment and study in the school, but they are different, and treated differently from others.I think this volunteer work is very meaningful for us and also good for the person who needs our help. They are all very lovely and kind.We hope the can get out of the hospital earlier!
