A kind of religions in my life







The first time went to the Christ church, I felt a little bit different. Before that, I didn’t know what to do in the religion places.
This church built at MOCHOU road in Nanjing. We went there on Saturday. At that day, the church had lots of people, many foreigners and Chinese were there. We saw Ms.Bartell and Mr.Beath. A part of GCA students went there, because we didn’t know when the church has activities and our portfolio needed us to go a place about religion. So we decided to go there together. When we went there, the time was early, the activities were not start, but we already entered the church, the workers gave us the volume about the songs. So I thought we would study the songs at that day. When the activities started, I found there were so many people. They took a religious heart to join the activities. Religion is very important to a person. There are 4 main religions in the world. One is Buddhism, the other one is Christianism, and Islam, Catholicism. Western people believe in the christanism and the Catholicism. Eastern people believe in Buddhism. It depends on the different background and culture. Belief may like a supporter in your life. People believe this can help us. So lots of people have their own belief. It is a good wish and wants to have good life. When we finished songs, we took photos there, it would as a evidence about the religion part. Maybe we should go the church always, because it can clean your heart.

went to a performance




A performance named “Taming of the Shrew” it held in our academy, most of students went there, I also went there.
This performance’s poster was already putted up in our school, and the ticket of this drama was 25RMB, it was the vip price, normal price was 20RMB. The actors of this performance almost from Grade 11and 12, just one from the Grade 10. It was the first time we looked a performance when we came to Grand Canadian academy. I had the very hard impression in my heart. In ordered to play this dram, Grade 10 students did the volunteer for this. “Taming of the shrew” was the famous comedy was written by William Shakespeare. It introduced a story what showed money and love between male and female. It also depended on that century and society. Two main characters are Katharina and Petruchio. Katharine had bad temperament, but she didn’t want to believe this truth, so she found Petruchio, and petruchio used the same way to tame the female character. This dram cost lots of time and use lots of energy. When we looked this drama, neither clothes nor plots were perfect.
Our school played two dramas, one was” Romeo and Juliet”, another one was “Taming of the shrew”, we can see the improvement between these two dramas. Thanks actors gave us exciting performance; we should learnt something from this. Use your ability t o create the things , to do better and get good result, and also need to know more masterwork in the world.

Acted in snow white


In December, 2008. We acted in a performance named” snow white”, it was for Christmas day.
Each class needed to prepare at least one program, so our class decided to make a program that could include most of our classmates, it was a chance to act in a performance, and it could add into our portfolio. There were many roles let you to choose. We all read snow white, and the main character is snow white, the worst character is her stepmother. There are also seven little people in this story, it tell us snow white achieved lots of troubles. Finally, she got her true love. A very beautiful story. First, we changed the plots, but still depended on the original story. We changed the seven small people into seven giants. I responsed for one of the seven giants. We did the practice before a week when we needed to act. I still remembered at that time we used Christmas’s hats and the girl named Soda who dressed up snow white, she ware the long dress, looked so beautiful. We started at almost the end of the show, maybe the first time to act in a performance, a little bit shy and scared. Though our dialogues were not long. In general, our acting was successful, it also made me get the experience of acting.
I think I need to join more public activities; these can improve my reaction and make me more outgoing. Expect for next performance, I should try my best to do!

volunteer in term 3
















This term, I did volunteer works in GCA, from the beginning of the term 3, I did the volunteer works in teacher’s office, and helped with GCA fashion show.
Ms.Bartell gave us works after class in Monday and Tuesday every week. Katherine, Grace, and I. Sometimes Jessica and May came with us together. Our volunteer work about 1 hour each day. So Ms.Bartell gave us I hour volunteer time for us if we helped her after the classes. We did the volunteer before the fashion show; we did some paintings and cuttings. Ms. Hadely gave us 5 hours to support volunteer time.
Always, Ms. Bartell let us do the future things. When I first did the volunteer, I chose the computer work, it was typing all the Grade 10 students’ name on the computer, it about the video group. And then, when I finished, Ms.Bartell asked me find the definitions about the planning words on the Internet, we have 25 new words for each week, we should them, because we will have a quiz on Friday about the new words. I found the definitions for these words, and also needed to paste the definitions on the ppt. Ms.Bartell said she didn’t afraid me to know the meaning of each word, because I couldn’t remember the meaning of these words, it was for a few weeks later, so if I could remember these, I was crazy! A little bit interesting. Actually, many words that I didn’t know the meaning, and the website only has the English, so use didn’t know the sentence to explain the didn’t know the word, and some of these words has 2,3 or 4 definitions, I didn’t know which I should choose. It was a little bit hard for me. In the after days, I did almost the same things for Ms.Bartell. From there, I got 9 hours. A Chance for us to save the volunteer time was going to the Primary school to teach students English and teach them how to play cards named “uno”. We could see these students very like to play uno. It was the I hour volunteer time for us.
Another big chance for me to get the time was GCA fashion show. A few students went to art room to help Ms. Hadley. Most of us are girls, just one boy. Our main job was drawing the words” fashion show”, but I didn’t draw them. I cut the letters and painted them. We got a good idea, it was use different colors to paint one letter. It about 5 to 6 different colors, it could make letter look acitive. The big black screen was decked by us. We needed to make the words on the black screen, so we used the staplers to do it. When it finished, we also needed to put It on the wall. it used in the fashion show in the night. When we saw the screen during the fashion show, a little bit happy, because it showed our work.
Term three’s volunteer was finished, but I should do the volunteer in the term4, it can save for Grade 11, very happy to do this!!

Ate with friends in Nanjing





Last week, I and my friends in GCA went to the Indian restaurant to eat. It could be very different from Chinese food, neither the food nor structure.
When we into the Indian food restaurant, there was something smells good, it was the sandalwood, the reason is very easy, because Indians believe in Buddhism. This thing made people feel quiet and comfortable. It was the different culture between two countries. Looked through the menu, depended on how much money we had, so we chose the price of middle’s food. Just wait…… a few minutes later, the foods were taken. We didn’t use knife, because the food that didn’t need to use knife. There was a big pancake; it may be the traditional food in India。 Cook used special materials add into the pancake, this is enough for one person to eat. Other foods in our plate were curry, salads, a bowl of rice and some meat. Indian curry is very popular in the world, this restaurant has another characteristic. The cook is an Indian, so the taste is traditional and delicious. Indian has different eating habit. We should use fingers to eat the pancake, and then with the curry, you can find the nation feeling between us, like you stayed in India that time. So imagine. There were many foreigners, and the waitress need to speak English, so we think, if we have time, we can go there get a part-time job, so now we must practice English as much as we can. This opportunity made us learn many things that we can’t learn from classes. I love it!
