Summer.

I am comming!
I am comming!
I am comming!



A Look at Where I Live.

Everyone has a place that they call home, and I am no exception.

My home is very dear to me.

In fact, I think it is a special place, one that I would like to tell you about.



There are many reasons why I love my home.

For one thing, it's in a very convenient neighborhood.

It's just a five-minute walk to the nearest bus station.

In addition, there are lots of shops around, including a supermarket, vedio store and convenience store.

There is a traditional market where I can find all kinds of delicious food, even late at night.

Moreover, there is a nice park in which I can relax.

In short, the neighborhood offors everythings I need.

But perhaps the best thing about my home is the neighbors.

They not only friendly, but also helpful, and many of them have become good friends.



People say that there is no place like home.

That is certainly true for me.

My home is the place where I grew up and where I rest every night.

It is also the place where my most important memories have been born.

Part-Time Job

Most people would agree that money is important.

If we have it, we can buy the things we want.

However, it can be difficult to earn money while in school.

One option is to take a part-time job.




There are many benefits to having a part-time job while studying.

For one thing, we can learn new skills.

There many include both practical skills such ascooking or cleaning and such things as how to deal with customers.

Another advantage of a job is that we can learn the value of money through direct experience.

We will soon realize that it is not easy to come by and should therefore be spent carefully.

In addition, we can learn time management.

Having to balance work and study will force us to become more organized.

Lastly, we can learn about responsibility.

We will have to grt to work on time and complete the tasks that are assigned to us.

In short, having a part-time job is a great idea, but we have to be careful.

We must not neglect our studies, for school is still priority number one.

However, if we can find a balance between work and school, it could really pay off.

Bad habits.

There is a lot of truth to many of the well-known maxims about human nature.

I myself can vouch for the accuracy of the one that says that everyone has bad habits.

While knowing full well that saying up late is a bad habit, it's not one been able to break.





I've been in the custom of staying up late since junior high school, when my studying usually continued late into night.

In the following years, my inability to effectively manage my ime led to more late nights.

Countless times, I have sacrificed my sleep in order to fit in some urgent last-minute studying.

Only on rate occasions did I manage to get to sleep before one in the morning.

This has certainly been no great benefit to my studies because after midnight I am much too tired to focus properly.

As I'm well aware that staying up late is not a particularly constructive practice, and because I'd like to prevent suffering for it down the road, I will change this pattern soon.

Rice Dumpling

Rice Dumpling is also known as Zongzi is a traditional Chinese food, made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in or leaves.

They are cooked by steaming or boiling.

Lost in the moment.

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle.

Life is a maze and school work is a riddle.

i don't know where to go, can't do it alone.

I've tried, and i don't know why...

Slow it down, make it stop Or else my heart is going to pop.

'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot.

To be something I’m not.

I'm a fool out of lazy.

'Cause i just can't get enough...

I'm just a little child lost in the moment.

I'm so scared but i don't show it.

I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down.

I know I’ve got to let it go...

And just enjoy the show.

The sun is hot in the sky.

Just like a giant spotlight.

The people follow the signs.

And synchronize in time.

It's a joke, nobody knows.

They've got a ticket to the show....
