The Limousine(by Akira)

The limousine was quite luxurious. It was very huge like a train. It was so spacious that even an elephant could sit inside it. There are colorful baroque decovations on the surface of the car. It also had a gold unicorn sculpture on the top. The hood, the bumper, even the handles were gold. On the inside of the car, there was a super computer equipped with a satellite broadcasting TV and wireless internet. The seats were on the right, which were spacious enough to lie down for a nap. On the left side, there was a treadmill, a toilet, a shower room and a car. All of them were in premium designs. At last, there was a splendid chandelier on the ceiling and a cozy-feeling carpet on the floor. How luxurious it is! I'd like to live in that limousine rather than my cramped house.

Describing a Room(by Akira)

This is a work house in a basement of a gardener. There is a lawn mower, a bag of fertilizer, a trash bin and a workbench in a room. On the left side, there are a lot of tools hanging on the wall. They are a big shovel and a rake for sweeping on the left, an electric drill and a pair of scissors on the right top, a saw and a hammer on the right bottom. In the back of the room, there are wo big cabinets. The cabinet on the left is behind a workbench, which has various parts on the top shelf, bottles of oil on the second and the bottom shelves. The cabinet on the right has some paints on the top shelf, a battery on the middle shelf and two secretly-stored champagnes on the bottom shelf. The work house is not spacious but neat and tidy. I think the owner might be a disciplined person.

An unforgettable experience(by Akira)

I went to a store where tourists can try the costumes of MAIKO when I traveled KYOTO last winter with friend. In the store, we chose kimonos from nearly hundred of them. Then the staff helped us to put on make up. After a while, we all had snow-white faces just like ghosts, and then we put on kimonos. They were so heavy and complicated that it was difficult to wear them without professional help. Especially "DARARI NO OBI", a special knot of KYOTO's MAIKO look. It is distinct, pretty but very heavy. Also the wigs wewe heavy, too. We all got stiff waists and stiff necks after we had been beautiful MAIKO for only two hours. I like the movies like "SAKURAN" and "SAYURI" which talked about the stories of OIRAN and GEISHA. Having been a MAIKO, and walking in the GION is a very unforgettable experience for me.

Interduceing Myself (by Wendy)

I came from a six-children-family. I am the youngest one. My parents and sisters always took care of all the things for me. I really had a great time when I was a kid.
To be honest, I even didn't know how to cook before I got married. After I married my husband, It was really a big challenge for me to learn to be a house wife, a daughter-in-law, and a mother. I tried very hard and did quite well. I spent all the time for my family, sometimes I even feel I was a sacrifice.
now, my kids are growing up, so I can spent more time for myself. I usually enjoy going to the movies, doing some exercises(like playing tennis and swimming), going to concerts and watching live sport games on TV.
If you ask what my resolutions is, I will tell you that I want to improve my English and speak it fluently. I plan to travel all over the world. To learn different cultures from different countries, and to taste the exotic food, or to enjoy the grand slum in France, New York, Wimbledom and Austrelia.
I wish I could live fully everyday.

My elder brother is 19 years old .He was born in February 2 ,1988 ,and so was I ,because we are twins ,but we are very different .We differ in our appearance ,interests ,magor .He likes math and machanes ,but I love arts and design .I like to visit friends and go out to do something ,but he doesn't .He always says "I want to stay home all day ."I think maybe he likes to relax at home .Even though we are very different ,but we are very close .We have grown up together since we were born until now .I love my twin brother very much .

My English Techer(by Mindy)

Most of my English teachers were very stern and strict.
On the first day, before myclass started, I thought to myself
if my teacher was going to be a man or a woman, if she was old
or young,funny or boring. Suddenly, a young stylish woman came
into my classroom. For a short time, I found out about her good
memory and her enthusiam for teaching. Now, I am very happy to have
Katie as my English teacher.
