Volunteer

Volunteer work is simply to engage in public welfare activities. Social life is very complicated, and in some cases, people will feel that they are facing difficulties, not only do not rely on government, not by the market, but also do not rely on the existing relationship between the social contract, in which case, there will be Some people with a good heart and in their spare time to help others to resolve some difficulties, or for the community to do something the government can not attend, the market do not matter. These people are volunteers.I have took part in Vlounteer Club for three years. I entered GCA's Vlounteer Club this term. I love this club, it can make us inovle the social directely. It can help people thich need help. For instance, there are blinds in Blind School and we will play with them and bring some happy things to them. When I am six I always dreamed to become a volunteer, and now the dream come true. The most important thing for a volunteer is a love heart which you own all the time.

I still remember that I did volunteer work for Mrs.Mistchrich. It was Sunday. My school friends and I painted a lot of papers. These papers were prepared for the show of GCA. I was very happy to do this thing because it can help the actors to have a better show. In this process I learned how important a volunteer is. It is not only can improve our painting skills, but also can help other people. I love it!

I still remember there are a lot of people want to become the volunteer of the Olympic Games. The presidents from abroad were very surprise about it. The reason is they do not kown why so many Chinese love to become volunteer. Some people think that volunteers have no reward and can not earn any money. But I think they are wrong. I think that they have the biggest reward. It is better than anything. It is thankful. When help someone, they always feel very thankful for you. That is the most improtant thing in the world. The world needs love. The world needs volunteers. I believe I can be a volunteer all the time.

Physical activity

I have 21 hours activity time for soccer club.I love sprots and I am good at it. I got 99.7 in trem 2 and it is the highest mark in Class C. I spend 1 hour doing the sports activities everyday. I like playing soccer. When I am running on the soccer field, I feel so satisfied and relaxed. Except soccer, I also climbed the Zijin Mountain, played basketball and went jogging with my friends.

One day in the winter vacation, my old classmates and I played soccer. This sports activity is our favorite. We always kicked when we was juniors. I practice a lot in the winter vacation. I want to have a better skill than before. Every time we play a macth or practice, I always help my team win the game.

I still remember that a match between GCA'students and teachers. We lost the game. Is because the experience of the teachers more than ours, we do not have to play out our strengths.

During the whole winter vacation I realized one important thing that soccer is not only a game, but it is a sport which make all the people work as a team. I kown that the most exciting thing in the match is not when you have scored a goal. It is the time you pass a perfect ball to your team player and he scored. All the people enjoy the excitement when you scored the gaols because thousands of fans will cheer you up. Then you can choose the cheering action you like. Someone shouted, someone stand on this head, someone even take off his shrits, but it will make you receive a yellow card by magistrates. In the beginning of the winter vacation, I climbed Zijin Mountain with my classmates. We have climbed the mountain in the first term in Mr. Harris’s classes, so it was not difficult for me. We walk along the road and enjoy the view of beauty. The sunshine was through the vacancies between two leaves. It was very relaxed after climbing the mountain. I very much enjoy the mountain. All this make I recognize that sports can bring not only a healthy body, there is joy. Sports competition for the time for all of us learn to unity, which we also grow up to lay a firm foundation. I love football, I love sports.

Clubs

Before I went to GCA, I always dreamed about going to the clubs in GCA because there are a lot of kinds of clubs. This trem, my dream came ture. I entered three clubs and I really enjoyed these clubs. There are TV show club, Soccer Club and Volunteer club . It is so exciting. Every week I should go to the club after school. The TV club is on Tuesday, the soccer club is on Thuesday and the Volunteer club is on Sunday afternoon. I want to say that clubs can develope our different skills. So that we become all-round development of students.

Different clubs give me different feeling. I have learned many things about TV this term and I felt proud about it. My favourate club is soccer club. In this club I knew how to work as a team and I reaelized why soccer is the most popular sport in the world. It is n ot only a game but it is a way tocommunicate with other people. The moment you feel proud in the maych is not when you have scored a goal, it is assists. When you pass a perfect ball to your team player and he scored, you will become the main character. Everyone will cherr you two up.Volunteer club is also very interesting. We always went to Blind School and play with the children there. This can make us happy all the day, I wiil miss them even all the week. I still remember the days there clearly.

In the end, I really want to say that I love GCA, especially the clubs here. You can make new friends, kown more students in clubs. We are excited when we kown each other. I still remember in soccer club that Mr.Penny told me that if I want to become the leader of the football team, I should practice harder than anyone. Then I kown I should work hard if I want to become better than other people. Sunshine always after rain storm.

We went to Wu Weishan's sculpture exhibition on november,the sculpture arts is being shown.This arts are very wonderful.The artwork made by one artist,deep admiration for Mr.Wu. His artwork both traditional and contemporary.
My favourite atrwork is "Lao zi".Laozi is the name of a legendary Daoist philosopher, the alternate title of the early Chinese text better known in the West as the Daodejing, and the moniker of a deity in the pantheon of organized “religious Daoism” that arose during the later Han dynasty (25-220 CE). Laozi is the pinyin Romanization for the Chinese characters which mean "Old Master." Laozi is also known as Lao Tan ("Old Tan") in early Chinese sources (see Romanization systems for Chinese terms). his is his favourite art too.It descripe a lot of details about "Lao zi".He is an old man and has a lot of kownleage.Every one respect the old man because of his kownleage.I felt very excited when I saw the artwork.It gives me a powerful feeling.It is easily to find that Lao zi is an very old man.So this great product was produced.This artwork is really true to life,he described the Lao zi very carefully,especially the face,the facial expression is really wonderful!His hand only show one finger.I felt the slaver wil flow out from his mouth.Because the statue was like the real person very much.I think that everyone wil appreaciate this artwork.
The exhibition have many other Mr.Wu's artworks.All very wonderful,the statues are really like the true things.
After this exhibition,I know more about sculpture,and this exhibiton made me have more interest on sculpture.
I like the statue.I like this exhibition.I hope I can visit more beautiful artworks in the future. Art comes from the life but it is more profound than the life.

The special dinner~~~

In the december 29,Kevin Oliver Maria Laurence Alex Abby Penny and I.We had dinner at a USA restaurant.The food of the USA is very special,there were 7 people in all,I like this feel,many people had dinner together,we were vary happy.The western food isn't like chinese food,the taste of food were strong.But I like this taste.I think the steak was hard.I couldn't eat it easliy.And the pork were spicy,I don't eat spicy,so I didn't eat the pork.The salad were sour,I like sour ,so I ate mang salad.The American pork steak were very nice,the taste were nice.I like it,because it was the only food I ate.One thing I really want to say is that the American foods are too expensive.....After dinner we talk about together,we talked about the dinner .The students from grade 12 told us some things about the manager of having American dinner.It's so interesting.
