Participate in a Service Activity organized by a GCA teacher:

On the April 11^th at 9 o’clock, Joyce and I went to school for cooking, we went to Mr.Gallinelli’s classroom. And the French student Paulia thought us to cook cookies, at the beginning, we tasted her cookie, it is nice, and then we begun to cook. We should have 55g butter, 112g flour, vanilla, some chocolate, an egg, 55g white sugar and 55g red sugar.

At first, we should melt the butter, but in the Ms. Bartell and Ms.hadleys’ classroom’s induction cooker was broken, so we went to the mess hall and use the microwave oven. The butter melted and plus a egg and 55g white sugar and red sugar, mix them when they are become regular. And then plus flour, mix them, and plus some vanilla and chocolate, this is OK, put them in the oven, at first the temperature is about 200 degree for five minutes, and then the temperature about 175 degree for five minutes. The taste is so sweet, because of so much sugar.

I felt so happy about cooking, this is my first time cooking, before mom always cook for me, we did it for 2 hours, but we eat it for five minutes, I realize my mother’s hardworking. So I will eat every food carefully, there are my mother’s work.

Religious Service

call to worship. The leader said: how can young people keep their way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; do not let me stray from your commandments. I treasure your word in my heart, so that I may not sin against you. Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your statutes. With my lip I declare all the ordinances of your mouth. I delight in the way of your decrees as much as in all riches. I will meditate on your precepts, and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statues; I will not forget your word.

Postlude

I think it is boring, because I did not believe it, I don’t know the rule about it, but it is he first time I contact the religion, so I felt some excited about it. And I find a interesting thing, when I went to the church, I found many people in the church, there were even not foreigners, there were so much Chinese.

Go to a Performance

Go to a performance
we went to the performance called The taming of the shrew on the 19th December in school, I went to the performance with my friends Doria, Kathleen, and Winona, we attended it at half past six, I chose this performance because this performance was in school, it was convenient and the price was low.
The performance was so great, the main character Katharina, who is an intelligent, but grumpy shrew, unwillingly married a nobleman, Petruchio. Afterwards, Petruchio “tamed” his wife into an obedient and gentle woman. I like it, because this drama’s polt is funny, the character acted excellently, lighting effects are nice and the sound effects are great too. I think it is so interesting and amazing, at first, the main character Baptista is looking for a husband for Kate, the shrew, Gremio and Hortensio are frightened of Katharina. Petruchio visits Hortensio and he is looking for a wife, Hortensio introduces Kate to him, Petruchio and Kate returns home, he uses all his talents to tame the shrew. Finally katharina has transformed into an obedient wife. I think her change is so interesting. Her change because of a bed, when Kate felt so tired, she went to bed, and Petruchio and Kate slept in the same bed, Kate rolled all the time, Petruchio felt so bad about this, he stopped she sleeping, he threw the pillow, the quilt, the bedsheet, finally on the stage there was only has a bed, I think this part is so interesting.
I like this drama, I enjoy it.
