Plant Trees

It was breezy yesterday and the weather was comfortable. My class teacher led our students go to plant trees near the suburbs. We took a bus there and then we started to work. We first weeded the grass together. Then the boys dug pits and girls planted the young trees into the pits. All of us worked very hard. In a short time， we were all wet with sweat. After the young trees planted， we began to water. There is a pond near， so we took water easily. At about four oclock in the afternoon， we finished all work and took a photo to remember this meaningful day. We were tired but happy.

A Wonderful Trip to Dalian

Four days ago， I traveled to Dalian with my families. We visited a uncle there. During the four days， we visited all the attractions of Dalian City， such as： Golden Pebble Beach， Tiger Beach Ocean Park， Forest Zoo， Xinghai Square and so on. We visited to Bingyu Valley. Its billed as the Little Guilin in southern Liaoning. But， I liked night view of Dalian most. Its very amazing. In the evening， the lights of tall buildings， squares are all tuned on. Its colorful and beautiful. Besides， the people of Dalian are very friendly. They introduced the attractions when they knew we were visitors. I had a very deep impression on this city. I want to travel this city again.

On Sunday morning， my parents took me to the zoo. We did not go there for a long time. Last week， my classmates told me that the zoo added some funny entertainment facilities. I was very curious. So， I asked my parents to took me there and they promised to. We got there at 9 oclock. There were many people. Most of them were parents and children. We first went to see the animal. I like parrots most. And then we saw the animal shows. Elephants， tigers， lions and monkeys did wonderful shows for us. People were happy， especially the children. After that， we went to experienced the entertainment facilities. My mum was too scared to be with us. So， only my dad and I played. It was so exciting， but I was a little dizzy. However， I was very happy. It was a great day.

My Free Time

As a middle school student， I dont have much free time， but I still have a lot of things to do. I like listening to music and reading， so in my free time， I always listening to music and search the Internet for about half-hour. Its a good way to relax myself. I always do some reading before go to bed. Besides， I always go to swimming after school. Exercises help me to keep healthy and do good to my study. As the same as other students， I often watch TV in the evening， but I have to finish my homework first. At the weekends， I will help my mother with the housework， such as clean the house， do some washing. And， its a time to visit my friends. We are always happy together.

How Ive Changed

When I was a little child， I used to play with my friends all day long. We found that almost anything could bring fun to us. But now， I am growing up， things seem to change gradually that I dont realize. I had a lot of time to play before， but now nearly all my time is spent on study and homework. I used to watch entertainment program but now I prefer news and English programs. Generally speaking， things turn better. Now， I am interested in reading and writing. I think that the more good books I read， the more knowledge I get. Writing is a good way to practice my thinking and improve my writing skills. Besides， I become more independent. I can deal with many problems by myself. I think its important change for me.
