One week ago, it snowed in NY,Soon the whole city became a white world,everywhere was covered by snow.And the temperature was so low,the wind was blowing strongly. The sidewalk was so slippery,I slipped and fell on the ground. I had thought snow was so interesting and beautiful before,but now I felt it was so troubling and inconvenient for me,althoung I was so excited to see the snow for the first time. After that you must guess I come from the south area.It is right.I come from south of China,and it seems there is no winter season there because the temperature is so high,trees are green the whole year and have lots of flowers,so my city is also called flower city.There is no snow but most of the time it rains.I think the area is like California:hot weather,sunshine,beach and green trees.I really like such a warm place.In New York,it is still so cold now,I can not go anywhere freely and have to wear a lot of clothes.Because of this cold weather,everyone looks so arrogant and not easy going.It is a cool city and cool person,hence I think I like california, people smile at me and say hello to me. Anyway,sometimes I have to adjust to this place,maybe it is not so bad as I thought.

Happy Lunar New Year

At the end of this week, we will have a traditional Chinese spring festival we call Lunar New Year.During this time,all family members who live or work far away from home will come back to celebrate this special day. On Lunar New Year's Eve,all family members stay at home to have a special dinner, which is well prepared by the parents.At the same time,the couples will hand out the red packages which we call lucky money to elders and children.This means they bring the luck to us and wish that we can make much money in the coming year. I really like this. After finishing dinner,the elders will stay at home to watch the spring fesitival show,but the youth like to go to flower market because it is so interesting. There are many beautiful flowers in the market.If someone wants to find their match in the new year,they will buy flowers to place in the home,they wish they will find a match soon.After that,we come back home and stay the whole night.The next day,which we call 'open year" which means the real new year,we will go to friends' and relatives' to celebrate this holiday,staying togeter and talking about their jobs and other things.Lunar New Year is a very interesting holiday,and I really like it.I hope everone will like this holiday!

A Best Foreign Friend

When I first came to university,I met my good friend.Her name is Sara. I still remember how I met her. I wanted to go to the library,but I lost my way.At that time,a beautiful girl appeared,she had brown hair,green eyes and was dressed in a skirt.She smiled at me and asked whether she could help me or not. No doubt.Finally she led me to the library and left a contact number in case I needed help again. To be honest,she was so nice and differetn from other native girls.She used her warm heart to help the foreigner and never looked down at her.During Christmas,I even received her invitation,she invited me go to her home on long island and had a Christmas party.She wanted to show me a native American holiday.At her home, I saw a big Christmas tree with a lot of decorations.She showed me around her home and let me see many of her family and her favor photos.In addition,What made her amazing thing is her trip to China.Two years ago,she acted as a volunteer and went to China to teach English.She found the Chinese people were so enthusiastic which made her trip unforgettable.She still clearly remembers all her chinese students' names. She said she had never seen such nice people there.I think that is the reason why she is so nice to me.Actulally I found all people in NY to be cool until I met Sara.Sara had been to China and she received much love from Chinese people.She understands that love is not had as a gift,but love is earned.I am so happy to make a friend with such a special American girl, who uses her heart to help everyone. Even now when I face difficulty in this uniersity,she still tries her best to help me,listening to my complaints and finding ways to help me settle down.Because of her,I will not feel I am lonely and helpless.I like this American girl,she is so special.
