My village is in front of some small hills. There are lots of houses in the village. Behind the houses, there is a river. There is also a bridge over the river. There is a lake beside the houses. The water in the lake is clean. I can swim in the lake and there are many fish in it. There are many flowers and trees in front of the houses. It's a beautiful village.

    Today was a fun day. I walked to Mike's home in the morning. I studied English with him. We read funny stories together

    Then I went to a park by bike. I flew(fly的过去式) kites. It was a windy day. Suddenly my kite flew into the lake

    A dog saw the kite. He jumped into the lake and swam to it. Five minutes later, he gave(give的过去式) the kite back to me. I was very grateful to him.

My Wonderful Holiday in China

    In Beijing, I visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace. I also met all Bill's friends and family.

Last week, Bill's family took me to Xi'an by train. Xi'an is in the northwest of China. We visited the Terracotta Army there. They are so amazing! We also ate some delicious noodles there.

    Then we went to Sichuan. It's in the southwest of China. First, we went to see the pandas in Wolong. They are very cute. Then we climbed Mount Emei. The mountain is very beautiful. We saw many funny monkeys on our way. I was very tired, but very happy. We ate some delicious hot pot there. Sichuan is famous for hot pot.

    Tibet is in the southwest of China, too. We went there by plane from Sichuan. It was sunny and hot in Tibet, but there was still snow on the mountains. We visited the famous Potala Palace and took many photos.
