Physical activity












































































































































































On the January 19 afternoon, I went to gymnasium make a membership card. I went to the gymnasium at 7pm, and I went back home at 8:30pm. I went there every day, except January 25 to February 1.
Because winter and Spring Festival were coming, there was no trainer to teach us. I usually spent one hour on treadmills, but I did not run on treadmills. The reason was I did not want to perspire. I was just walking fast on treadmills. I just reduced one jin after I walked one hour. And then, I would spend half hour on biking. In the gymnasium, there was a biking room. In the room, there were many bikes fixed on the floor. I usually sat on the bike biking, I sometimes stood on the bike biking. I thought stood biking was harder, because our legs need bear our body’s weight. Our legs also need energy bike. There was another reason of why stood biking was harder. It was hard to control the speed of wheels. If you could not control them well, you might be hurt. I had the experience. In the big gym room, it had not only treadmills, but also some machines to exercise our biceps brachial, triceps brachial, etc. For most girls, muscle was not a good thing for them. However, I did not mind it. The reason was every body should have muscle on their body. Muscle protects us. Muscle also expressed us was health. In fact, the gymnasium had a Yoga room. The trainer was not here, so we would not have yoga lessons. The gymnasium provided bath, so people could have a bath after exercised. The bath was clean and neat. I had never had a bath in the gymnasium bath. I thought it was not cleaner than my bath.
I had an experience about yoga. It was in last summer. I wanted to join the gymnasium, so I went the gymnasium to have a look. Boos let me join the yoga lesson in that evening. It was really interesting. Trainer worn a beautiful clothes like an Indian dancer. There were not many young girls, but it had many women who were between 30 and 50. I was the only girl who was 17 years old.
Of course, I felt tired after exercised. I also felt comfortable and relax. I guess the reason was I stressed out. After I exercised, I found I was stronger, and I was thinner. On the January 26, I felt ache from my thighs. My mother told me the reason was I did not exercise on January 25. I felt very strange. My mother told me I had exercised a span. If I stop exercising, my body would get reaction. It did not matter. It would be OK again after two days.
I spent a great time on exercising in the gymnasium. I would exercise again in the gymnasium. It was a good place to exercise, and I think I would learn more in next time.

Volunteer in Changshuo Community











On the February 1, I went to Changshuo Community to do some volunteering. Actually, there were not many things. We did not visit old people, we did not clean the street. There was just one person. It was me.
The director asked to copy some information about people who are living in Anji. Every year, communities need renew the Population Enrollment. I was doing this job many times. It was a quite easy job, but it needs your patient. Your writing should be clear, because the workers might need some time in the community. However, it was also a very important job. The reason is it was about the population in the community. There was much information about people, such as mane, date of birth, address, family members, job, etc. I spent times on it. There were many Population Enrollments in the Changshuo Community. There was just me in the community office finishing the job. Every day, I spent two hours on copying. Luckily, I finished them before I go to Nanjing.
In the community office, every body was kind, they were usually speaking with a warm smile. They did their job by themselves. I was stayed in the same office with them. They sometimes were talking about something. They might answer residents’ questions. They also need go out to do some working.
I learned we should pay patient on each job. Whatever kinds of the job all need your patient. If I pay more attention on my job, I would finish it more careful, and quicker. While you were talking to people, please smile to them, and look attentively on them. When people were asking help from your, do not refuse immediately. Listen to them, and then think about your ability. If you could help them, do it as quickly as you could, or you might forget it. You may not know the person, you also could say “Happy New Year” to them. They would feel happy and warm. Bring others happy, you would also be happy.
After I finished my job, I found out I have a good patient. The reason was I was never in a fret, or complained with others. Every day, I went there on time, finished my job as quickly as I could, as careful as I could. I was so politely. While I was coming into the office, I smiled to ever body, and said “Good Morning” to them. I stayed on my seat quiet, because I did not want to bother others, and I hoped I could finish my job in time.
I put all my “artworks” to the director. She checked them, and then she praised me finish them wall. She hoped if I could came in Summer, because they would have many activities in the Summer. For example, clean the street, clean the advertisements on the wall and we would also go to old people’s home, etc. Of course, I said Ok.
I think I spent a great time in the Changshuo Community, even though my was easy to finish.

Mexican Food






































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































On the January 11, Rena who comes from 10-D and I went to Tacos to have a great rest. We went there on Tuesday at 3:40 pm, because the Tacos is having 50% between Mondays to Fridays. I heard Tacos is a Mexican Restaurant, and the food is delicious. They are expensive, too.
I never try Mexican food, so I really do not know their taste. I asked the waiter to tell us their characteristics to us. The first one is Treat Turkey Wings, then we chose Curry Beef Rice. The Treat Turkey Wings were really delicious. The Turkey wings were really big, chief made the wings tasted crisp. However, they were not very oily. We both very like it. How about the Curry Beef Rice? I thought it was just so-so, but Rena did not like it. The reason is she found she do not like curry. We also ate the coconut milk sweetened sago cream. It was sweet and it tasted nice. Before the meal, we drank the lemon juice. It tasted a little sour with lemon pleasant smell.
Of curse, there were many differences between Mexican food and Chinese food. On the types of food, China did not have turkey, curry and sweetened sago cream. On the culture, China did not use spoon to eat rice, and we did not put food on rice.
There were not much people in Tacos, so there was quite. We could listen a Mexican music all the time. Tacos is divided into two part. One is beside the lift. While you were coming, you could see two girls standing. They would guide you in to inside. The room is very big in part two. A little bar is seeing firstly, the bar is filled with different wires, bears. There were many bottles hung in air. There were very quite in Tacos. People were talking in low voices . You could hear Mexican music all the time. Dim light made me feel warm and relax.
In the menu, there were many foods. They were beautiful, and they made me believe they were really delicious. They were just like cute dogs shaking hands to me, and said “Come on, baby!” to me. However, after I know the prices of the foods, I think they were like birds flying away. I had a secret way to protect my purse. People come Tacos who are rich.
It is a great experience, isn’t it?
