Looking up at the sky, I saw the moon. It was like a naughty child, sometimes it hid in the clouds and sometimes it got out of the clouds. It seemed to play “hide and seek” with us. The stars around the moon, however, were as shy as girls, and hid themselves in the clouds.

抬头望着天空，我看到了月亮。它就像一个顽皮的孩子，有时它藏在云层里，有时它就从云层里出来了。它似乎和我们玩“捉捉”。然而，月亮周围的星星，像女孩一样害羞，并躲在云层里。

哦，多么美丽的天空!

The Spring Festival is coming. I know that you must be very fond of the Spring Festival. Because everyone can stick to the spring festival couplet, see the Spring Festival Gala, visit friends and friends … …

I remember when the Spring Festival approached last year, I learned to write couplets at home. I stood aside and looked at the couplets written by adults. I saw that they dipped in a pen with ink, and then wrote several big words on the red paper. I cant remember the specific content. The couplet was very neat, and I said to my uncle, &ldquo, can you teach me to write a couplet? ” I remember clearly the uncle asked, "“ do you use a brush?" Do you know how to write a couplet? ” I shook my head and said, “ no. ” so he said, "“ you have grown up for one year again, and you cant even use a brush. Ill teach you a few tricks at this opportunity." ” after hearing the uncles words, I jumped up happily.

The uncle told me to sit straight while writing, not on the table. And then tell me in detail how to use the brush. After listening to my uncles words, I finally learned some of the most basic ways to use the brush. Then the uncle asked me to write a few words to show him. I wrote five words: “ I love Chinese &rdquo most; Written askew, probably just use a brush! The uncle saw a smile: “ the word was written well, but the pen was not straight. ”

So my uncle taught me: “ when writing every word, it is not to use the same strength to write every word, but the power should be changed with weight. The written words will be more varied and look more beautiful. The uncle finished the demonstration and wrote several words to imitate me. It is comfortable to look at the words written by the uncle. I tried to write a few words on my uncles look, and I really made progress. I was much happier than I had just written.

The uncle also told me that writing should be often trained to imitate the name. The more it is written, the more writing it is, the better it is.

In this Spring Festival, I have learned a little bit of writing brush writing skills, is really more happy than to get the money, but also more affordable.

oh god! i think i was about seven and half when my sisters and i pulled this stupid stunt. i remember watching television with them and the show on happened to be our favorite program to watch. all of a sudden we heard my brother, chris, yelling from the backyard. so we all headed out there to see what happened. when we finally located him, he was in a tree hanging from the highest tree branch. crying, he explained to us that he had climbed up the tree and couldnt get down. we thought, okay, one of us should climb up and get him off, but we couldnt manage to get him moving down.

it was then my youngest sister, ka, who was five and a half at the time had seen a similar situation. she suggested we grab a sheet, hold it under the branch chris was hanging off of, and tell him to drop so we can catch him. my other sister, yams, who is one year younger than me, peered at me to confirm the idea and i said "yeah, lets try that".so we grabbed a sheet from the closet and went to hold it beneath the tree. now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were ranging from seven and a half to five and a half, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. but we were confident it could work.

we looked up to chris and he looked down at us a bit hesitant. i dont blame him the poor guy. it was then we told him to let go and to fall on his back. chris looked at me and asked "are you sure ill land on the blanket?" now, my brother at the age of four, had a cute squeaky voice. but because of a problem at birth with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out more like this, "ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?", "yup!", i told him, "were sure!" and he let go.now when i think about chris letting go of that branch, i think of his faith in me and my sisters and i also think how stupid he was to trust us, cause when that boy let go he was in for a big surprise. chris fell right through that sheet and landed right on his stomach. and no matter how tight we held on to the sheet, he still managed to get through.

we were shocked and a bit worried and we looked at the ground where he landed. this tiny seventy pound boy had made a hole right through the sheet and landed. he was positioned like one of those chalk drawings you find after a homicide, with one arm near the head another to the side and the knee bent a bit. we might as well have drawn an outline because he wasnt moving. so we bent down to check if he was still alive and when we asked him if he was okay he uttered these five words… "ah stee hi da flow" in other words, "i still hit the floor!" poor little man! but before you condemn us, chris is fourteen now and he still bugs us about it, any tree he climbs he gets down on his own and, strangely, he wants to be a fireman when he grows up. now he can write that he had personal experience about jumping and catching. see, no harm done…
