My physical activity

I like sports, but in my middle school I was not good at sports, because my health was not very well. When I study in GCA, I often do some exercise. It makes I become healthier, so I often do some sports in my free time.
My favorite sport is ice skating, I usually go ice skating with my friends. On holiday, my friends and I went to Olympic sports center and goes ice skating. That afternoon, in the skating rink, it did not have people to play, but we saw a coach was teaching his student, that student is a boy about five years old, I looked I was surprised, he is younger than me a lot, but he is play better than me a lot. We went inside of skating rink. At first, I could not to adapt, but when I slide first round, I can suit for this ice and the skating shoes. I was afraid about maybe I could fall down because I knew they also can play ice skating very well. We looked around, there was not have people, we thought we can play well. In that day, we have a lot of fun, we did not see each of us fall down and we also do exercise a lot.
Everyone has different ways to spend time on holiday or weekend. On January 27th, my family and I went to Zijing Mountain in the afternoon. There did not have a lot of people. I thought the weather was very cool, so I can go climbing to make I body warmer. I breathe fresh air and made I felt relaxed. In the beginning, I was very enjoy for climbing mountain, but after I felt a little bit tired, my father encouraged me, and I can keep going. In the mouton road, we can enjoy beautiful scenery around us. Climbing mountain, I learned a lot, it can help me to build up my endurance and it's helpful to me in my studies. I also can get close to nature, when I reach the top of the mountain I can enjoy the scenery of the city that we live in.
I also like play badminton; I always play badminton with my parents about once a week. This afternoon, I played badminton with my mother and my cousin in the yard. Although we did not go to Olympic sports center, but we also have a lot of fun. We decided to have a match, first, I VS my cousin, I won this game easily, because I am good at playing badminton, but my cousin did not like play it, so I am very happy. Next, I VS my mother, my mother play badminton wonderful! I always lost, I felt disheartened and I did not have energy to keep going, but my mother encouraged me. Although I keep going to finish my competition, I did not win this competition, because I met a good opponent.
Doing sports activities are not only good for health, but also have a lot of fun, so let me do some exercise.

Volunteer work

As volunteer club, I also did some volunteer work in society. Because of volunteer club, I like to help others. This also is a different point between Chinese school and Western school. In the life time, we must do some volunteer work. Do some volunteer work not only helping others but also can give us new experience and learned new skill. In these two terms I worked in two groups, one is volunteer for GCA Drama Show The Taming of The Shrew and watched the play, another is helped my mother unit to tape words.
In the end of this year, GCA had played a Drama Show called The Taming of The Shrew. Although I am not play in this play, but I did some useful things in this play show. Before the show played one month, I helped them to prepared stage properties. That Saturday many of our classmates came to school art room helped. I also checked the show tickets before the GCA Drama Show the Taming of The Shrew begin. That day, I came to there very early and took scissor and waited for Miss Chan said it is time for open the doors. I saw many GCA students came watched, so I was very busy to cut the tickets. I also went inside watched the play. I saw some stage properties are we made in that day, I was very happy about saw that. I try my best to help this play.
During this winter holiday, I finished my volunteer work in my mother’s unit. One day, I asked my mother what I can do in her unit. My mother answered just at the right time, she wrote a play of this year, I can help her tape it. I was replied, tomorrow, I came to my mother’s office. I saw many of my mother’s colleague, they looks very busy maybe they were writing their year plan. I was sit in front of computer; my mother gave her year plan. Over twenty minutes, I finished taped. At this time, my mother came into and asked me do you have time to help my colleague tape? I also replied. Next, I help them to tape theirs year plan. I think this work not only can help them to finish their work, but also can make my tape speed go faster. In May, we have provincial exam, in provincial exam, we can not write, we only could use computer to tape. So, I think this is a good time to help to help me to practice my tape skill. In that three days I worked in my mother’s unit for eight hours and my mother’s colleagues thank for me to help them, they hope I often come to there.
From my volunteer work, I learned a lot about taping and how to communicate with others, I also knew we must try best and pay our effort, that I can do good job and make overtone happy. I love my volunteer work.

GCA club life

This is first year that we study in GCA, about GCA we had find out many different things between Chinese school and Western school. The very important thing is in Western school that has many different clubs, such as badminton, volunteer, drama and so on. In the beginning, we did not realize those clubs, but through grade 11 and grade 12 students introduced, I understood that is very important to be as fully engaged in my high school life. In abroad universities and colleges also has many different clubs.
Although GCA has many different clubs makes me see things in a blur, there has a very meaningful club I want to join, this is volunteer clubs, also this club is recommend by grade 11 and grade 12 students. This year about half of grade 10 GCA students joined this clubs. Volunteer clubs was divided by three groups, are charity work, help blind people and help pets. I joined charity work group, if you joined this group you must joined Nanjing charity society, so I am a member of Nanjing charity society, I have a card for Nanjing charity society.
During this process I gained a lot from volunteer club. There are some benefits for join this club. First, we have a lot of fun while helping other. In the Saturday, I taught many poor primary school students with my friends we played games together; also we taught knowledge for them. Next, I got new experiences; I never did that in my middle school, which is only having in GCA. Finally, I learned effective communicating skill. I recognized many students from other class, also I recognized lovely children and we became friend and we have a lot of fun with each other.
This club let me knot me know help other can make me happy and joyful. Every time I saw that children smile on theirs face, my hearts also feel warm. Volunteer club become more and stronger, so there has more people to join us to help helpless people. It is not only helping others but also can give us new experience.
In volunteer club, we not only taught primary school students, but also we joined a big charity show. In a Saturday morning, our entire group member came to Shanxi to help this charity show and donation money. We wore red cloth and red hat took a big donate box, ask pedestrian. That day we donated a lot of money that we could not count, also it make me know a lot. I saw many children asked their parents to donate, but I also heard many people said “no” to us, that are different between people and people.
This half year, I still work in volunteer club and prepared help more and more people and let people and people to join us do some meaningful things.
