Video
This is a video which I sent to my students. They had dancing class in my house. I taught them dancing skills and helped them with their performance. I used a video to remind them the new steps I taught that day.

Romeo and Juliet
On the April 26th, Xixi, Justin, Yuki and I went to Shanghai to see the drama: Romeo and Juliet. Yuki got 4 tickets from her uncle, so we went to see this famous and classical drama. I am not a Shakespeare fan, but I was really impressed by the drama. It was acting by a British theater TNT.
The story was known by many people. It is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is a story of two star-cross lovers. At first, Romeo was fall in love with a woman named Rosaline, but Benvolio tries to let Romeo forget that girl. He asked Romeo to go to the ball in Capulet’s house. Then Romeo met Juliet and quickly fell in love with her. They were attracted by each other. They went to the church and decided to get married. Juliet’s brother killed Benvolio, and that drives Romeo mad, he killed Juliet’s brother. The two families were quarrelling again. Juliet’s father wants her to marry another man, but Juliet did not want that, so she drunk the toxic drink. Romeo thought she really died, so he killed himself. When Juliet woke up, she found that Romeo died, so she killed herself as well. That’s the end of the story.
It is different feeling that reading the book and watching the drama. Drama gives us a direct feeling. It gave me a feeling of how deep they loved each other. I love this wonderful play.

Volunteer 2
After teaching the kids in Beijing East Road primary school, I want to say sorry to all of my teachers, cause that teaching kids was really a tough work. We taught the grade 5 students how to play uno,and some words for playing cards. They were totally not afraid of us, and they just followed us. Willa and Chanel was teaching the kids beside me, and we did not prepare the uno cards. As the result, the three girls asked us to play cards. They were a kind of crazy, they just screamed out of loud, and we asked them to speak in English. They didn’t even reply us. Willa and I just sit there and said nothing.
There is pool club near school called Jufeng. I go there every Friday afternoon with Chester. We did voluntary work there, he helped players to organize the balls. I was in charge of the cleaning work. Chester is a good pool player, sometimes, people go there alone, Chester will play pool with them. Some players often go to this pool club to ask Chester to play with them. My work was a kind of boring, but I at least learnt some skills of playing pool.The pool club is always full of people. Every player left, I need to clean the table as soon as possible.After 2 hours working, the boss there gave us some free time to play pool. That was great. We enjoyed that.
I don’t think volunteer must be doing something to help others, it also can be some work to let us feel society, so that we can put effort on doing different jobs.

my very own 10-D
We really know each other well and found the best friend was during the millitary training. We lived together for few days, that made us know more about others. Christopher, Sandy, Frank and I were always doing the group work together.
There are some photos of our fabulous 10-D, I know that next year we will have different classes, but some friends will be last.
my show
At the first term of my studying in GCA, I attend the talent show as a sophomore. Firstly, I just thought I can earn the extra points by dancing in front of 3 teachers. I just danced follow the music “Baby One More Time”. Then my planning teacher told me that I need to dance again in front of the whole GCA. I felt so nervous, so during the whole holiday, I was preparing my new dance. I chose Britney Spears’ song: toxic. It’s tough work, and I used tools to make my show looked perfect. I was acting a story through the music. It talks about a cat was playing with the chair. But something embarrassed happened while I was dancing. The wrong music was playing. I felt so strange, seemed to be a cat was watching by people around.
I also had a show in Christmas Concert, at that time, I worked with Christopher. He got a band show, and played the Spain cow music for me. His band was great, and he put a lot effort on it, so we did not have enough to rehearse. I listened to the music which I downloaded, but Christopher was using guitar to play, so that when I was dancing, the music got some problems. It wasn’t a big deal, the show was still good.
The experience was great, the show let more people know me, and I was a kind of famous. I’ve never had a show in front of school, and that made me feel fabulous. I feel more confident right now.

The Xujiahui Catholic Church
On the April 26th, Xixi, Justin, Yuki and me went to Shanghai. When we arrived at the Xujiahui, the big church attracted us. There is a big fountain in front of the church, many people was taking photos there. It was a sunny day, the lawn looked great. We also saw two brides there were taking wedding photos. A cosplayer was dressed in gothic clothes, that looked like the comic character.
It’s a pity that the church does not allow us to take photos of the inner part. The church is full of travellers and a group of people who may be the guests for the wedding. It was silent, and the environment made us more serious. We listened to the guide’s introduction, the things in the church are all like what in the movies. There are many paintings, the guide said that all the paintings are the stories of catholics. I knew that catholic is part of the Christian Church ruled by the Bishop of Rome (the Pope). In the early Church the papacy exercised authority over all Christians. The differences between Christian and Catholic are that catholics believe in saints and Mary mother of God. While christian respect saints and Mary but do not worship them.In principle, Christianity is built solely on the Holy Scriptures, the written Word of God. The Bible is our only infallible rule of faith, being sufficient to give us the sure knowledge of the Gospel for our salvation and holiness.
The gothic church looks fabulous, so that many girls became catholics only because they want to marry in this wonderful church. All the believes are sacred, I cannot say which is the best, but the Xujiahui Catholic church is gorgeous.
