New Semester

    New semester is coming. Last Sunday, my father took my brother to Taoyuan, because the new semester would start. In this semester, I select a course named Young Adult Novels and Films. In this course, the teacher let us read the four novels and watch the movies have been adapted from the novels. Reading the novels can help me improve some writing skills. I hope this semester I have progress in writing.

Go Traveling ~~

    Last Sunday, my father took us to Kending for vacation. At first, I was afraid that the weather in Kending would be bad because of the front. Surprisingly, when we arrived in Kending, the weather was so good. It just liked summer. I thought it was a good start.

    First, we went to Sheding Nature Scenic to go on picnic. We brought some fruits, KFC, and buying some famous Chinese steamed buns. In Sheding Nature Scenic, there was a big grassland. We chose one place to eat lunch. Luckily, we saw a lot of people, and they were shooting a comerical of camera. This was the first time that I saw that, and I felt so cool. Later, we went to Guanshan to watch the sunset. Guanshan's sunset is one of the top ten must see the sunset in the world. You can see the sun go down below the sea level. the image is so beautiful. That day's weather was good, so we could see the sunset. Therefore, there were so many people stood in pavilion to wait the sunset. After seeing the sunset, we went to the Houbihu to eat lunch. In the Houbihu, there were so many seafood restaurant, and the seafood was all fresh.  

    We went to hotel to take a rest. About 10 p.m, we went to kending Road which was like a night market to buy something as midnight snacks. On the other, when I waked up, I found the weather was not good and cloudy. Even though the weather is cloudy, we still went to the beach to play. Then, we drove to Eluanbi Park. Unluckily, when we went into the park, it was raining. There were still many tourists. We walked the path to see the Eluanbi lighthouse. When I walked to the top, I could see the sea and the mountain together.

    These two days, I was very happy. We planned to come to Kending again in the March with my uncle and aunt. 

Chinese New Year

    Last Thursday is Chinese New Year's Eve. My uncle took his family came home to have a reunion and ate New Year's Eve dinner. This day was very busy, because we needed to do many things, including helping father paste the Spring Festival couplets, having a general cleaning, and helping mother prepare dinner. After eating the dinner, the children must look forward to receiving the red envelops. When the adults gave us the red envelops, we should say something propitious to them. On New Year's day, many relatives will come to our home to celebrate Chinese New Year. In these days, we always have a lot of visitors. On the second day of the Lunar New year, my mother will return home. 

    Chinese New Year is to let family have a reunion. In addition, Chinese New Year is a time to play some games with the family. First, my father bought five $100 scratch-off lottery ticket, and each one have one. When I scratched the ticket, I was so nervous but excited, because I didn't know how much I would got. Unluckily, I didn't get any money from the ticket, but my father got $700. Second, I played Mahjong with my father and two younger brothers. I think that Mahjong needs skills so that I can't not lose the game easily. Third, I paly four color cards with brothers, uncles and aunts. Mahjong and four color cards like the gambles. If you win, you get the money; if you lose, you will give your money to the winner. Because of that, you will think the game is more exciting and  more interesting. If you have time, you can try it.
