    The following are the messages from Mike's moments (朋友圈) on WeChat during the trip to Beijing.

    Today is July 5, my birthday, the first day of our trip. It's 2:30 p. m. I'm riding a bike with my parents and my little brother Bob in Beihai Park. We are singing, listening to birds, and having a lot of fun.

    Today is July 6. It's the second day of our trip. We plan to visit the Great Wall. There area lot of people along the way. I feel a little tired, but I'm happy! While we are climbing the mountain, I talk about my future (将来的) job with my parents. What do I want to be? Ha! Maybe a teacher or a singer.

    My parents are visiting their old friend, a famous writer, at her place. I am having lunch with Bob and watching a show in Deyunshe. The food isn't so delicious but the show ... Well, it's so humorous and interesting. I really like it.

    It is the fourth day of our trip. We're going back home at 6:00 p. m. It's 10:00 a m. now. We are visiting the famous Chocolate Factory and making chocolate by ourselves happily. We are really having a great time here! Sweet Kiwi! I love you!
