January 13 2005 It was the first day of our winter holiday. All of us were very happy. Why? Because we have one months to do things we love to do. We are free.

Although we have some homework. But we can finish them in several days. And the rest time we can make good use of. My god! We have been very tired after hard studying. In winter holidays I want to have full sleep and eat good food in order to replenish myself. Last but not the least I will have a good rest.

January 14 2005 It was the second day of our winter holiday. I felt good. I felt I’m free. I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Beijing. So I live alone but I don’t feel lonely. But I didn’t do something special. I stayed at home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an English daily composition. It was my homework. Today I have slept for 14 hours. I thought I was very tired. It was time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.

January 15 2005 It was the third day of our winter holiday. Today there are many business in my mother’s company. So my mother told me to help my uncle who is the manager of my mother’s company. I sat in my mother’s office and help her answer the telephone. While I was free I was writing my homework. Although I also have a lot of time to do my homework I still do it. Because in my mother’s office I had nothing to do. If I did nothing I was wasting my time and my life. I can’t do the foolish thing. We should take good use of our time. January 16 2005 It is a special day today.

My mother sent one hundred basket of red bayberries. I like to eat red bayberries. It tastes nice. When they arrived in Shanghai they were still fresh. But most of them would be sent to my mother’s business friends. I chose the best basket of red bayberries to eat. I put the rest in my refrigerator. Red bayberry is my hometown’s special product. It is well-known in china. Many people like to eat it. January 17 2005 Today I still went to my mother’s office. My mother was very busy so was my father. They always live in Beijing. They must get up early. Because they will manage the factory. So I know they are very laborious. So I should save my money. Also I should help them. Although I can’t do something useful but I think I should share the work with them. I am one of my family member. In the future I will take a job and work. It’ time for me to begin to learn how to work. January 18 2005 I have rested for a week. I began to feel bored. So I went out with my friends. They are my best friends in the middle school. We didn’t go to someplace special. We just saw the other. We had lunch together.

While we were having lunch we were still talking about the new school and new friends. Yes! A year later we have grown riper. And we learned much more things and got new life. We haven’t enough time to play to waste and to lose the way. We only have two years. Two years to go we will get the real life which belongs to us. January 19 2005 I have stayed in Shanghai alone for a week. It’s time for me to go to my real home—it is in Beijing. My parents are waiting for me. Although outside is no matter how beautiful Beijing is still my home. In fact there is many fresh things. Like red bayberries. In the afternoon I took a bus to Beijing. I was very unlucky that my mp3 was stolen. I was very sad. I didn’t know why thieves went to steal other’s things. Why don’t they hunt for a job? I don’t why! I hope there is no thief in our motherland. January 20 2005 When I got home it was very dark. Why? There is no electric. Every year in Beijing there is lack of electric to supply.

Because there are a lot of factories. And it is very cold in winter. So the government decided: supply electric to resident and the factories must stop working. My house is in the manufacturing district. I was unlucky. It was very cold. So my father use the electric making machine to make electric. Oh! What a unlucky winter! January 21 2005 It was cooler than yesterday. One of my father’s friends invited me to eat red bayberries.

You must know it is unusual. Because we will climb the hill to eat red bayberries. There is no chance to eat red bayberries in the hill for the people who don’t live in Beijing. On the hill you can breathe the fresh air you can listen birds singing and you can eat red bayberries. It was enjoyable. It is said there are wild pigs in the hill. What a beautiful natural. January 22 2005 Today I found time was a cruel thing. Whatever man is time always goes on. It won’t stay to wait for somebody. You can’t use anything to exchange time. Time is also a fair thing. Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation time won’t leave them more. Today I found I hadn’t enough time. Although I have 50-day holiday but I found I had a lot of things to do. I had a lot of homework to do and I had something necessary to do. January 23 2005 I have rested for 10 days. In these days I felt very bored. I didn’t know to do what. Although I had a lot of things to do I felt uncomfortable.

I was ill because of the cold weather. I was tired sleepy and had no strength. My parents are worried about my health. in fact it didn’t matter. I was always in the room with air-conditioner and opened it in a low temperature. So when I went out the high temperature disagreed to me. Finally I was ill. January 24 2005 Today when I awaked up I found the air-conditioner didn’t work. I used the control but it still didn’t work. I knew the air-conditioner was in trouble. I went downstairs. My father told me two air-conditioner and two computer had been broken. Because my father used electric making machine to make electric so the voltage was not stable.

It led to the trouble. Oh! Whenever the government will let the factory use electric? If it lasts longer I will be crazy!! January 25 2005 It doesn’t matter that the air-conditioner has been broken. But my notebook-computer also was broken. I really don’t know what to do. So I went to play basketball. I didn’t know any one in that place. And I was the first time to go there to play basketball. At first there was no person playing basketball. So I played basketball alone. A few minutes later some students came to play. So we played together. Of course we had a match. And It lasts two hours. After the match I felt I would be dead. I was too tired. January 25 2005 No computer I will not know to do what.

I have no solution to the problem. So I sent my notebook-computer to the Asus computer company. I must have my computer repaired. And the other one it was thoroughly broken. It can’t be repaired again.The computer company told me that my notebook computer needed one week to repair. The electric led to all trouble. And many electrical appliances are broken. I don’t know when our country can solve the problem. January 26 2005 I have lost two computers but I had another one. I bought it about five years ago. It can be called curio. Though it was old. But it can still work. Although it works slowly I was pleased. I can go on internet again. Chatting with my friends is a good relaxing. In the internet one of my old friends invited me to tomorrow’s party. He told me that some friends would go too. So I promised to go. A-ha! I can see my old friends. I was very happy and hopeful. January 27 2005 It was sunny today.

I was excited. I got up at a quarter to seven. I made a appointment to meet at nine o’clock. After I had my breakfast I went to the city center of Beijing. It was cold outside. When I arrived my friends didn’t arrive. I waited for him in front of the KFC’s door. I haven’t seen them for a year. And in a year we didn’t come into contact with others frequently.

About ten minutes left my friends arrived one by one. After we greeted we went to the 5-star restaurant to have lunch. The lunch cost us 800 yuan. Oh dear! They were all very rich and one was poor. January 28 2005 Yesterday we played happily but there were only ten people. I remembered last year there were twenty-two people at all. I heard some my friends had gone abroad. They went abroad to study. Maybe I couldn’t see them in the future. I think next year we won’t make a party. Next year is a very important year. We all will prepare for the college entrance examination. It is the most important for us now. January 29 2005 I was bored.

So I wanted to travel to Hong Kang. I told my father my decision. To my surprise my father agreed. My father thought I always at home was bad. He thought I should go out to see our country clearly. How beautiful our country is! My father drove me a travel service. I filled out an application form. After that the agency would finish every things. At last the agency told me it would take a week time to transact procedures. January 30 2005 The screen of my father’s mobile telephone is broken. When you open the mobile telephone the screen is always white with light.

You can’t see from the screen. And my father is a businessman. He needed a new one. So my father and I went to the electrical appliance shop. There are many new kinds of mobile telephones. At first my father chose a Sumsung one. But all the telephones have sold out. Finally my father chose a Motorola one. January 31 2005 The food in Shanghai disagree me. I think the food in Beijing is the most delicious. Seafood in Beijing is very fresh. Prawns in restaurant are all alive. And there are many food that you can’t see in other cities. It is very cheap that you eat seafood in Beijing. The less money you pay the more enjoyable you are. Maybe my stomach is ill. Whatever food I eat I am still thin. And I am too thin I want to be a litter fatter. So I must eat more.

February 1 2005 My dog will be dead. She is very old. We have kept her for ten years. Now her hairs are falling. And she always lies on the ground. She can’t see very clearly. She eats a little. She becomes thin. She was very strong before. She is still guarding my family. She is one of my family member. Now we are all uneasy because she will die. I think you may know my thinking. Even if it is a dog you can’t forget it. So these days we feet her the best food.
