    Today is Sunday, so Peter doesn't go out. He asks his parents about the traditional Chinese clothes. Mother tells him that Qipao is the traditional dress for women in China. It is usually made of colourful silk and sometimes made of cotton. Many women in the West like it very much too. Father can remember that all the VIPs wore Tang suit(唐装) at APEC in Shanghai. They all looked smart in the traditional Chniese clothes. Many young people find it cool to wear the clothes in their own styles. Peter's cousin says the modern clothes are better. Finally, they think the fashion should be comfortable first.

    Today is Tree- Planting Day. I go to the park with my parents. At about ten o'clock we start to plant trees. We needn't to dig holes because the people in the park dug them before. We just put the young trees into the holes. My father fills the holes with me. My mother carries water for the young trees. We are so tired when we finish the work. All of us hope the trees will grow well. I hope I can plant trees next year.
