studied in guitar club




As for me, a have not been studied musical instrument guy. Since I been to the GCA, I have many new chances to change. Joined the guitar club was my new change.
First touched my new guitar, I was very crazy; it was a really stranger for me. How to play it? It that difficult? I didn’t know. My guitar class started after the October’s holiday. Until now, I can remember clearly. After the school, we took guitar class at 10D, and in this day, just had 3 students, of course. Include me. Our proprieter is 10D’s student Christopher. He did really well in guitar, and he played a melody with guitar. At that time, I wanted to study guitar quickly, because I also wanted to play a song what I want. This was my incipient thought. But after a period of time, I didn’t think it was easy to do.
First, we learnt about some professional knowledge, like how can a guitar be made? And classify the guitar, and more. We studied the most easily song at first, if you want to play the song, you must know how to make your fingers on the guitar. Everyone leant it. In fact, this was not very difficult, but for me, it was a little bit difficult, because I never studied any instrument before. This made me sad. Oh, my god! How can I improve my skills? It was the biggest problem around me at that time. Slowly, I could do it better, but the new problem was coming. Was not very much to understand some content meaning of, seem as if some terms are not clear. Everybody had all learned an instrument , has understood that very quickly, also, melting being able to very quickly enters new content middle, but I was deficient in a little bit. Therefore, some are depressed do not know how to ask to come on. This is to need efforts, is to make great efforts are more than others. Everything should have a formula, a fast way to get successes. It is do more practices and ask people who can do it better than you. It is totally correct. So focus on guitar, it also need to practice more, I have known this truth already, but to come true this saying is not easy, I was upset, even wanted to drop out this club, I couldn’t find any happy things during the guitar lessons.
But I thought about for a few days, I decided to not to give up. If I gave up, I couldn’t gain anything; just represented I had no backbone or self-confidence. I didn’t want to say no to me. So keep going.
Everything is not easy that you think. If you choose it, you must to finish it. Do not give up at the half of the process. And you should have confidence; it’s the most important thing to let you to finish a thing. In next term, I will challenge myself on guitar.


Physicis activity











During the winter holiday did some sports for ten hours. From the exercises, we learnt something to improve our skills, knew how to keep my body strong also how to consolidate the friendship between friends.
. Somebody said life lies in motion so it was important to finish this work. Therefore we must need to insist on physical training, ability is stout our physique. The most important one point, we must insist that down. Only have such, our ability achieving body-building's purpose. So I decided to do some sports every day after supper. I think that exercise plays badminton is very good one motion, With this saying, I went to the gymnasium to do something, thought about what I like playing, so I played badminton with my friends. I went there for 5 days, each day we played for two hours. First day, I called my friends to play with me. We decided to meet at the gate of the gymnasium. This friend was my best friend in the junior middle school. I called her because I wanted to chat to her, we studied in different senior middle school, so we didn’t know the life in senior middle school between each other, so I very missed her, and I wanted to see her in winter holiday. Another reason was I must finish my portfolio. I needed someone to help me.
Next, it was our play time~ first; we paid money for our 2 hours’ activity. Then we started, at the game, there were enough laughter. We both are not professional players, some rules that we didn’t know clearly, so played by our habits. Compare her and me’s level, I think I was better than her. This is a joke, do not mind~ but to be honest, played badminton was really tired, because we didn’t do enough exercises in the daily, so did lots of exercises was tired, it also meant we need improve our health. The time went by quickly; we played badminton there for 2 hours already. First day was finished. In next 4 days, we went there at the same time and called other junior middle school friends to come to play. Lots of them were coming, we played together, that feeling was very good, very warm, and it could connect our relation. This was a fantastic thing in the boring winter holiday.
This was my first activity finished at home in grade 10. A little bit strange between the Chinese high school & Canadian high school. I didn’t know clearly how to finish, but passed this kind of activity, I knew. It was the gain, I also knew health is very important in our life, so must keep your body healthy. But you should obey your physical limitation. For example, I can’t do any climbing or crazy activities. Others are ok. My goal is keeping my body healthy. Do not have many diseases.
Sports are the same as life, change your bad habits, challenge yourself, and improve your wealth.

volunteer time


In the past few months, our school held a drama named “The Taming of the Shrew”…… And at that time, they practiced the drama very hard. But also need the decoration and the background. So need many volunteers to help the performance.
Our English teacher Ms.Mitschrich told us”: do you want to join the volunteer job, it is for drama. Use your free time to do this thing, if you want to come, you can go on weekends. ”
From that, we knew that thing. Many of us decided to help with the drama. On the first weekends, we started at 10:00AM. And our job was painting the wall. Arrived the school, It was a little bit quiet. Look around the surroundings beside the GCA, there were the materials on the ground. There were many paintbrushes, paints, and lots of wood blocks. The volunteers were class A to C’s students, because our teacher gave us this chance. We divided by 5 groups to work. The background wall has 3 colors: brown, gray and dark green. Next, it was our show time~
First, we putted the white and green together, made dark green. And then, draw the wood blocks use brown into frame. Because In order to paint dark green. Next, we used gray to cover dark green, it looked like the true wall. To be honest, it was really a happy thing, because we could from work to learn how to join a group work or how to help each other. For example, when we used the paints to brush the wood, the time went by, between the laugh and work, paints reduced. We found we have no enough paints to cover. Then we thought with a short time, decided to borrow some paints from other groups. As classmates, they lent us many paints that they made up already. It meant others helped us to do the work. It was totally a happy, because students can share something with other people. And can regard other’s work as their work.
Pass this volunteer work; we must realize how group work is important. In fact, lots of activities should be many people, they can improve the efficiency. If you don’t want to work with others in a big project, you may be able not to do it we ll. That because more people more power. To be honest, in Chinese high school, we have no chance to be a volunteer, and also have no chance to work with classmates; it is really a bad thing in Chinese high school, because of the heavy studying assignment, so Chinese high school student don’t have enough time to do the volunteers. It also means they don’t know how to work together with a group or a company.
