am i ready for a high school?
how times flies! it seemed to me that i began my grade three only a few months ago, but then i got a smell for something different: i’m going to have my exams for higher school!
i can’t have time to do my homework at home, so i have to do some of it at school. when i learn this, i am surprised. is this the time for grade three?
i can feel my teachers are a little nervous and some of them seem to be easier to get angry with our students when we don’t do well in our studies. it seems to me they have lost some of their patience. i’m feeling nervous.
at the same time, i realize we have no classes for activities. sure we have pe classes. but where are the classes for art? where are your breaks? why do we have classes after classes? …
does it mean we are machines and our teachers are mechanics?
i am not ready, yet!

         meals
 everybody must eat. but they have different ways.
 america is a busy country. to save every second of time, people have to work faster and better. usually americans don’t have breakfast, and most of them don’t have enough time to have lunch, either. fast food is their best choice. fast restaurants are almost everywhere in america. hamburgers, sandwiches, pizzas, potato chips etc., they are easy to get, and not expensive.
 but in china, things are a little different. most people like to have breakfast in snack bars, because it’s convenient and not expensive. but more and more people, especially in big cities, prefer to have fast food because of heavy work and busy time. but it’s quite different from american fast food. we call it “hefan”, which means a share of meal. it saves time and is cheap. it can make people free from housework, too.
 american fast food is getting more and more popular in china, i think.

catch crabs
 i can’t forget the day i caught crabs with my parents in the summer of .
 my family went to a reservoir to smell the flowers that day. on the way there was a small river. the water was very clear. i could see fish swimming around. we decided to stop to have a rest by the river. i saw some crabs in the water and tried to catch some. suddenly i saw a small crab climbing under a stone. i tried to move the stone away and catch the crab, but i was a little afraid of it. my father told me that if i caught the crab by side, it wouldn’t hurt me. after thinking for a while, i decided to have a try. i quickly caught one with my right hand. some time later i got used to it, and caught a lot more.
