My dream

In my dream, I hope I will live and study in Iowa City very well. Everyday, I don't need to get up as early as what it is now. I don't need to take bus, I can drive my own car to the university. Also, I wish I can live in a beautiful house in the the downtown, it won't be very large, but it has to be much more lovely than the lodge, and I can walk around at the downtown easier than now. The most important thing for me is to study well, and in my dream, I see that I study very hard, and get A on every subject of mine. I also see that I get a lot of American friends who treat me very well, and I can speak English as well as a native speaker. Sometimes I may write some articles to the local magazines. That really is a dream, it is totally impossible, but life is wired, sometimes you cannot believe that impossible things are always become possible.

the Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. It is to celebrate Chinese new year. The most exciting things are eating dumplings, watching fireworks, and getting together with families in the new year evening. The reason we eat the dumpling is because of a story, that dumplings look like ears, so to eat them can protect ears, and to protect ear is a way to get rid of the cold winter. The Spring Festival will be continued as long as a month, but most people come back to work after the fifteenth day, which people watch fireworks and get together with families again. In former time, the winter is too cold to farm, so people stay at home to eat food they stored, and this festival give them a chance to relax and prepare for the plantation of the next year. However, nowadays, people use this holiday to go vacation, or to do anything they like, but the most important thing is to reunion with families, and children can get some pocket money from elders.

Life in America


This picture is took at the lobby of the Lodge, and it is the most beautiful room in the Lodge. My friends and I have already lived in the Lodge more than two months. The quality of serving is good, and the apartment is really nice. Each time I come back from school, I can fully relax just like go back to my home, because to live in the Lodge you have nothing to worry about.
