Chinese Food

Chinese food is colorful， varied， delicious， and nutritious. Chinese people cares not only about the taste of the food， but also about its color and smell. Food in different places has different flavors. Beijing food is quite oily and salty; Shanghai food is sweet and light; Sichuan food is spicy and hot; and Cantonese food is fresh and tender. Whats more， there are some popular local snacks. For example， Beijing Roast Duck has a good reputation for its tender meat， while the steam buns in Shanghai are well known for their juicy ingredients.

Mid-autumn Festival

Mid-autumn festival is one of the most important festivals for Chinese people. At that time， people will come back home and spend time with their families. The meaning of this festival is to provide people a chance to get reunion. Chinese people pay special attention to the family reunion. It is a good tradition， which is inherited for thousands of years. Mooncake is the classic food， which can represent this festival. The most exciting moment for me is to appreciate the moon at the balcony and chat with my families. We eat some snacks and talk so happily. Mid-autumn Festival is part of Chinese culture and should be reserved forever.

My Schoolbag

The first day I went to school， my parents bought me a schoolbag as a special present. They knew I liked spider man， so they went to many shops and finally bought me my favorite cartoon character schoolbag. Now I am in middle school and need to change another schoolbag， but I still keep my spider man schoolbag， because it reminds me of my parents love. I put it in the corner of my bedroom， so I can see it every day and have the motivation to keep moving on. I am so thankful to my parents， for they care about me all the time， so I must study hard to return them.

Growing Up

Since I went to middle school， I grew up very fast. On the one hand， I live in school from Monday to Friday， so I need to learn to get along with roommates. We share the cleaning work to make sure a good environment. It is everybodys duty to sweep the floor on turn. On the other hand， I need to solve the problems from life by myself. Without parents by my side all the time， I learn to face troubles and figure out all the ways to solve them. I become much independent and stronger. Now I can deal with my stuff alone.
