Having a Sister is Very Lucky
By: Brian Lin
Many people don’t know what it feels like having a sister. Have you ever wanted to know how it feels like having a sister?
I will tell you how it feels. It feels lucky. In fact, I feel like the luckiest person in the world. Many people want to have a sister when it is convenient. But they don’t truly care about having or not having a sister. Many people think that having a sister is very annoying. But have they ever wondered how does it feel not having a sister?
My sister helps me with my homework. My sister chats with me when I am bored. My sister plays with me when I am sad. For example, one Friday night, I was crazy with my homework. “Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,” I thought.
The next day we are going for a vacation, and I had plenty of homework to be done. We will be back on Sunday night. And now, I was only starting my writing homework. I couldn’t focus, think of the other homework, I just couldn’t focus. Just then, my sister came in my room.
“Can you give me some ideas?” I asked hopefully.
“Sure.” she replied.
After she said that sentence, my feelings immediately begin to change. I felt like the wind, zooming faster and faster. Like I was writing my homework faster and faster, until I couldn’t write faster anymore. And when that happened, I was already done with my homework.
Another example of how much I enjoy having a sister is when one day during summer vacation, I was finally done with my homework, reading, Chinese, science, posters, reading log. I was tired. But tired doesn’t mean that you have to sleep or relax. Tired also means that I was tired of doing my homework. I wanted to do something else. I just couldn’t think of something to do. Television? Boring. Reading? Boring. Drawing? Boring. Playing? Yes! I went to find my sister. Living room? No. Dining room? No. Sleeping? I found her! I shouldn’t wake her up when she was sleeping. But I had nothing to do. So I just waited. My sister woke up 30 minutes later. We played a game called tic tac toe.
“YAY! I won! YAY! I won! YAY! I won!”
She won every time. But at least I had someone who would play with me. And I was not bored or tired anymore.
The last example is, one sunny day on Monday, It was so hot that our family are going out for a swim. Everyone was happy about that. But when we went there my mom notice that the swimming pool is closed. We all went home sadly. We had nothing to do. My mom was sleeping. My dad was watering his plants. My sister and I had nothing to do. So we decided to play hide and seek. My sister always finds me in one minute. But it takes me more than five minutes to find her. After that, we played truth or dare.
“Paper-Scissor-Stone!” And the next thing I knew, I lost. I am bad at every game. Actually, I am not really so bad. But if my sister plays with me, I can be very bad. She can read my mind. She knows what I am going to do next. She asks me a lot of questions, or dare me to do a lot of things.
I never get to ask her any questions or dare her to do anything because I always lose while playing Paper-Scissor-Stone in Truth or Dare. For example, “I dare you to do a push-up 10 times,” or “ How many cookies did you eat today?” And she always goes and finds out the truth. And if I lie, she punishes me by hitting my hand two times.
Having a sister and not having a sister is a big difference. You should make a choice. An important choice. Like the most important choice in your life. Think of what you can do with a sister and without a sister. Having or not having a sister? If you want to know the answer to this, read on!
I have a sister. A sister who cares about me. I realize that when my sister is not with me, I feel lonely. Nobody can play with me, nobody can chat with me, nobody can help me. But I have a sister. She is the one who plays with me. She is the one who chats with me. She is the one who helps me. And she is the one who has changed my life.
The First Day of Chinese Class
0The First Day of Chinese Class
By: Brian Lin
“Chinese class time! Put your Writing materials away!” Said Ms.Callahan.
Morgan and I quickly put our writing materials away and went to the bathroom. We looked like we could read each others mind, because we are too nervous about the first day of Chinese class. We have change a Chinese teacher during Winter break.
“Will the Chinese teacher gives us many homework?” I asked.
“I hope not, because we already have many homework for winter break, and I don’t like it” Morgan said nervously.
We walked back to the classroom to get prepared. Ms. Pon took us to the Chinese classroom.
“Hi class!” Said Ms.Lin when we walked into the Chinese classroom.
“Hello!” We said back.
In the first day of Chinese, we learned to remember each other which does not make sense, because we already know each other except the teacher. And the homework for that day is to make a poster which was a project for me to introduce yourself.
“Class is over” Said Ms.Lin.
“YAY!” Shouted the class.
Then Ms.Pon came and pick us up. But then, more and more homework each day, more and more test each week, more and more projects to do each month, and more and more Chinese book to read every week. I barely don’t have time to sleep. Harder work each day, I can’t imagine the homework for Summer vacation.
The Water Slide Game
0The Water Slide Game
By: Brian Lin
My cousin and I ran to the top of the waterslide staircase of Pacific Island Club in Guam. It seems like it is impossible to climb to the top of the staircase to play the waterslide game.
“We made it!” shouted my cousin looking back for me.
I was still at the middle of the stairs.
“Hurry!” shouted my cousin.
“Okay.” I said.
Finally, I made it to the top of the staircase.
“Where is the water slide?” we both said at the same time, looking around for the water slide.
“I found it!” I shouted.
“Who will go first?” asked my cousin.
“You will go first.” I said.
“Okay.”
So my cousin sat on the slide and I pushed him away as hard as I could.
“Good-bye!” I shouted.
He screamed all his way down and I was laughing so hard at the top. I waited for my turn, I was not sure if I was going to scream too, because my cousin is older than me. So I cover my mouth and pushed myself away.
“Ahhhhhhh!” I screamed in my mind.
It was faster than a roller coaster. The wind blew my hands off my mouth.
Then, “SPLASH!!” I went down to the swimming pool and I raced with my cousin to my mom and dad. I won the race.
My Christmas Break
0This Christmas break, I go to Taichung, it was very fun, and I love the hotel that I lived. And we go on the high speed rail. I love high speed rail very much, because I think it is very cool and nice and comfortable. And I went to that hotel more than 20 times!!!
I played hide and seek with my sister in the hallway. And the cleaning lady always say what are you doing here? So my sister always know where am I. And that is a great hotel.
Animoto
0This is a movie about Pi and the tiger, they sailed on the ocean for three years. Pi had been thinner than a chair and at last, they found a island and had been saved. This is a fun movie and a interesting movie. This movie tells me that there is nothing impossible in this world. Three years!!! Can you imagine that? This can prove that there is nothing impossible in this world. My dad always tells me, “If you would try, there is nothing impossible in this world.
