I cannot believe that it is already 2014! Where did 2013 go? I guess the saying is true: Time flies when you are having

I am going back to the USA soon, but I can’t my good friends in Nanjing. One of my favourite of 2013 in Nanjing was going boating in Xuanwu Lake Park with my friends. We usually did this during the summer months it’s warm, sunny and you don’t need to wear thick coats or long jeans like you do in the winter time. My friends and I would usually at Xuanwu Gate at 8:00 am on Sundays. We would often play for and then walk over to the bus station to take a bus to The Confucius Temple. When we got there, my favourite thing was the Chinese food, such as rice dumplings, smelly tofu and so on.

Even though I love summer, winter has so many fun things to do, too. I love most about winter time are the Christmas Trees in Xinjiekou. People the trees with many shiny lights and they were so beautiful and lovely. And I also got to meet a young man who up as Father Christmas around the trees. He was giving out presents or colourful boxes full of sweets.

Good bye, my Chinese friends. Happy Spring Festival!

In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.

Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu (菜单) on the counter (柜台), and say what you’d like to eat. You pay the person who brings food to you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There’s no need to leave a tip (小费).

In a coffee shop, you sit at the counter or at a table. You don’t wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you’d like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier (收银员) as you leave.

In a family restaurant, the waitress shows you where you can sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don’t need to tell her yours. If you can’t finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take the rest of food home. You should add (增加) fifteen per cent to the bill (账单) as a tip.

In top class restaurants, you had better order before you come, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine there, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty per cent to it as a tip for the waiter.

I told my friend Graham that I often ride a bike for two miles from my house to the town , but unluckily, there is a big hill on the road and I always s 1. a lot of time getting over it. He answered, "You are l 2.." He said, “you should be glad to have the extra exercise that the hill p 3..

I often felt sad as I got to the hill. But now I tell m 4. the following: This hill will exercise my heart and legs. It will help me to lose w 5. and get fit. It will mean that I live longer than others. This hill is my f 6.. Finally as I rode my way up the hill, I began to think why people pay money to go to a gym (健身房) and sit on exercise bicycles w 7. moving around when I can get the same exercise and enjoy the beautiful countryside for free. I have a big smile on my face as I reach the t 8. of the hill.

We should believe that there is nothing d 9. in the world if we put our hearts into it. If you try your best, you will be h 10. every day.
