Friday's assignment

Dear Betty,

Hi! Sweety, I want to share short story with you about the “Walk the Talk”.

 Long time ago, there was a very famous writer in China named Zeng Zi, one day his wife was going to the bazaar, his little son was so naughty wanted to going with mom. She said “If you be a good boy I will cook the pork for you.” The little son was so glad to hear that. When she came back, Zeng Zi got ready to kill the pig. His wife stopped him said “I just kidding him.” “How can you cheat a kid? The kid is so young and doesn’t understand anything just follows the example of his parents. Now you trick him, then he will do like you to cheat others. The worst thing he will never trust you anymore. Then, how can you educate the kid well?” His wife so shocked about this talking. And finally Zeng Zi killed the pig.

I want to say that we are being parents now, we should, must be a good example for our kids. If you promise something for others you need serious do that. So how about this weekend I remember you said that you will treat me dinner, so call me later and I love you so much.

Best regards,

Shui

Dear Tom,
Hi! I have't seen you this weekend, How are you, Are you very busy on packing. By the way I will tell you an  interesting thing. When I was young, My granny  told me "Don't look the pinkeye's patient, If you look you will get the same pinkeye". You know I'm a good girl, I always remember the word. One time I took the bus I just ran down the whole bus, unfortunately I found the pinkeye's guy. I also remembered I am so scared because I looked  his eyes, and the shadow of pinkeye let me cry. But you know I'm fine at last. I think it's just a myth. I hope you enjoy my story and have a good trip in China.

Our Field Trip to Centre Island

  
We gone to the centre Island two weeks ago. It's a amazing Friday. This is my first time go to the island. I went there with my classmates suki and Emma.We met at Don Mills Station's coffee shop and had a wonderful conversation in the subway before getting on the ferry. we took almostly 1.5 hours arrived on park.

It was really sunny day, the weather is so good and we saw a lot of birds such as pigeons, seagulls, geese and so on. with the sunshine everything looks beautiful. I need to say the Island is so big, until the lunch time we just visited a corner.  we were  very hungry so we immediately had a picnic lunch in one of the spacious parks. How delicious the food!

 After lunch we got the same small  group, some went to continue visited the park , some had rest, some played the games. I played Frisbee with Suki and volleyball with someone else. 
My classmates took pictures in all kinds of funny poses. I hope to see some of the pictures on their Facebook. Cheng went down to the water and actually tasted some lake water. He thought it wasn't very salty.

       I  like this park,  everything looks so fresh. The fresh lake, the green tree also the lovely flowers.  I walked almost three hours when we need to  leave but I lost some places to see. I think before the winter I will come again.
