I walked and walked and I felt not very well. So I went home. In the evening Mum and I again delivered some catalogues, because next week, we won’t have much time. We walked for over an hour. I felt very tired, but at midnight I still couldn’t sleep. **

On a typical Sunday I got more catalogues. After I fold them. Them I went to the time for dinner, we had barbeque. After dinner Mum with I delivered some catalogues. I watched TV. I enjoyed the program a lot. My Mum want to finish the catalogues, but it was late, so I didn’t go with her. My Mum is a very diligent woman.

My Weekend

I stayed home on the weekend. On Saturday morning I got up late because I had nothing to do. I had breakfast and some fruit. After wards I studied English for a while. I watered the garden because my Mum said if it is a very hot day, give some water to the vegetables and fruit to make them grow bigger. In the afternoon my Mum came back. She said my Dad wanted dumplings for dinner that night. He doesn’t know that making dumpling stuffing is very hard, because we didn’t have the other stuffing that was needed, we only had onions and cutting up onions makes my eyes water! That night we were all tighter and watched a movie, it was very funny and we laughed a lot. We had a good time.

A visit to the museum

Yesterday we went to the museum with Margrat’s class. First we met a guide, I have forgotten her name, she wanted to talk to us. After I saw an Aboriginal exhibition. I saw shell necklaces, baskets and the Sorry Book. I looked at some pictures and video, I listened to Aboriginal singing. After we went to see the Tasmanian animals exhibition. It was about the Tasmanian tiger, wombats, snakes and some insects. After that we went to see Chinese painting, Chinese calligraphy and Chinese fans. Finally we went to see the convict exhibition. We all had a good time.

 * With my family **


 * Yesterday was my Chinese birthday. The weather wasn’t very good. As usual I studied English at the school. After school I looked around some shops for a while in the city. I was looking for clothes for my birthday present but I couldn’t find anything I liked. **
 * Afterwards I got the bus to go home. When I got home my Mum told me my grandmother was sick, so we all together went to the hospital to see her. When I arrived at the hospital, I saw her one eye was opened and one eye was closed. I looked at her and she didn’t have redness of skin. Her tongue was outside her mouth and her breathe was very difficult. Her talking wasn’t clear and she appeared to be suffering. It reminded me of my dead grandfather. I cried. Yesterday no-one held a birthday party for me but I wasn’t sad, but I saw my grandmother cry. We talked for a while. After again some people came to visit. They were her daughter-in-law and her two granddaughters. Her young granddaughter was a very optimistic person, she was a hairdresser and an old one was an accountant. **
 * Finally we went to a seafood restaurant to have a meal. Then we came back to the hospital to say good bye to our grandmother. **
 * So I said that day was an important day. **


 * Yesterday **


 * My family and I visited my grandmother at the hospital. **
 * Yesterday I woke up early. My Mum said at 8 o’clock they would go to the hospital but she got up later. I already decided to stay home but I heard that my grandmother felt well so I decided go to visit her. When I was ready my Dad still had not got up. We didn’t go until 2 PM. My Mum drove the car on the way. When we arrived at the hospital see my grandmother she was feeling better. We were very happy. **
 * After her friend came there as well. She needed some rest so we went home. We went to a shop on the way home. We saw some Chinese children’s toy and when we looked. We saw they were made in China. My Dad told me when he was a child he played with this too. After I looked again at the things. They were all made in China and not expensive. **
 * I felt too tried because I stayed hospital stand a long time. Then we went home. **


 * About my City **


 * This is a about my city weather and food story. **
 * My city’s name is Chang Chun, it is in the northeast of China. It isn’t a very big city and has some foreign people there also. There winter was very cold, it is often snowing. Inside the temperature is 15c and above but outside was -15c opposite. People from other places came there to admire the snowy landscape. In winter there weren’t a lot of vegetables to eat. We often ate potato, Chinese cabbage and other vegetables in winter. In other season we can buy vegetables at the markets also but it was expensive. **
 * Every city has their special dish in China. **
 * So that’s my city. **
