嗨大家好！寒假快樂！

已經很久沒有打部落格了！我現在是在放寒假，所以才有時間——國中比我想像的忙碌很多。

我的小學算是比較放鬆的，而且我是一個被編為 "Gifted" 的小孩，所以學校那難得的功課輕輕鬆鬆就可以搞定了。我的朋友有很多是跟我一起去上特別班的人，所以基本上我們都不太了解 "課業壓力" 和 "時間安排" 到底要怎麼應付。而且在我們可以開始加入學校各個社團的那年，也就是四年級，Covid 就來了，所以我們完全沒有練習到。呃總之⋯有點遭就是了⋯⋯😥

我們國中是按照小學的成績和考試結果來斷定我們要進入哪一班的，所以學得比較慢的人就進到步調慢的班，然後像我和我朋友這些人就進到了步調非常快的班級學習。一開始因為我們常常嫌上課無聊所以覺得這是件超令人高興的事，但是後來才發現，這些課程的考試和作業多得很，尤其是數學課。其實，我原本是不會真的太忙的，但是發生了一些出乎意料的事⋯

我從小學就開始加入合唱團唱歌了，到國中也一樣加入了合唱團課。而老師覺得我有才華，所以她在10月邀請我進到高階合唱團。這個合唱團人數少（好吧，7個國中合併是105人啦）、要學的歌又難又多、只有3個集體排演、而且11月初就要表演了，所以要勤加練習才能唱的好。但是就那麼巧，10月不僅是老師開始把課程調難的時候，也是我很多朋友的生日月。再加上我那一陣子常常在學校遇到我用的機器故障，所以當時候我的壓力很大，不僅常常在房間哭，而且也開始對朋友和家人很凶。Yaya、媽、Umme，對不起😓！！

哈囉大家好我是豆丁書扉! 今年（2022年六月）我從我的小學學校 Knapp 畢業，將要進入國中七年級！我從幼稚園開始就覺得能夠畢業是一件很酷的事，所以一直在等今年。但是現在長大了，真的要畢業了⋯就會開始有不一樣的想法了。雖然我是真的很期待國中可以加入社團與有各種新的發展機會，但是我從七年前就一直在一樣的學校，所以就變成現在要跟老師離別很難過、痛苦、與困難。那些好笑的老師、好玩的老師、有趣的老師、令人感動的老師⋯我們的時間就到此結束。跟我的小學老師分開之後，我不久就要去國中面對一大堆我不認識的老師——因為我很不愛接觸陌生人，所以這點令人慌張的很。除了跟老師離別之外，因為到國中會依照能力來分級，所以就變成可能也得跟好朋友分開呢——如果這樣，就會少了一些能夠幫助我渡過難關的人，國中會更加艱難啊！還有，因為我是家人之中最大的而且也是在街上一起玩的朋友圈裡最大的，所以我非常了解：你年紀越大就會越來越必須忍住你的眼淚，來幫忙安慰別人的淚水。這也不是一個說明好的規定，但是感覺這個討厭的事實就像是空氣一般懸在空中。因為大人們總是說，「你已經OO歲了呀」、「你已經上OO年級了呀」這種話，所以就讓我對長大那個興奮的感覺之中，也會有點厭倦的感覺呢。與似乎，當我在跟朋友慶祝我們即將升上國中的這一步，我也同時在暗中擔心——這樣的話，在國中會遇到的事情應該會造成更多的激烈情緒，但是卻因為會被人說「你已經上七年級了呀」，所以又得忍住⋯唉！真是的！現在真的要畢業了，才會去想這些可能比較負面的事情啊😥！

不過，凡事都有另一面的！往好處想的話，其實開心的事也不少啊！首先，我在上小學時，每個禮拜最期待的就是合唱團的練習了。我們國中是可以選擇要上一般的音樂課、管玄樂隊班、樂隊班，或則——合唱團班！！加入的話，好處實在數不盡。可以常常做我最喜歡的唱歌、可以不用像在小學那樣為了要去參加合唱團的練習而早起、甚至也有機會在全校區的表演大會上遇到我的小學音樂老師耶！另外，我聽說我要去上的那個國中有田徑隊和程式設計社團。這兩個都是我蠻有興趣的東西，所以我很期待加入這兩個活動。反正再怎麼糟，也還是會有一個很棒的優點：我再也不會因為我妹妹拖拖拉拉而搞得上課遲到！如果偶爾真的遲到，那就是我自己的錯，所以也不會感到生氣這個煩人的情緒。而且⋯我相信，雖然一開始會很亂，但是我應該可以在新學校找到其他優點啊！

總之，從小學畢業這一步真的讓我的想法和情緒挺不一樣，亂七八糟的。不知道大家在畢業時有沒有很像的感覺呢？請大家留言告訴我，我很好奇呢！那麽，我是豆丁書扉，out!

哈囉，我的名字叫陳書扉，然後我今天要告訴各位關於我對新出來的電影Frozen 2的感覺。如果要整體來說的話，我還覺得蠻不錯的，雖然中間有非常悲傷的事情發生，但是之後又有開心的結局(說真的，我敢看的電影也只有那些猜得出來會有好結果的，我實在太膽小了)。如果不想要先知道故事，請先別看下面，因為我等一下會告訴大家Frozen 2的故事唷!

角色:

如果你有看過Frozen 1的話，你會知道有那些角色。當然，一定有冰雪公主Elsa和他的妹妹Anna。旁邊還有雪人Olaf(因為她是比較搞不清楚狀況再加上非常搞笑，所以是我最喜歡的)，挖冰人Kristoff(如果有看過Frozen 1的話，就會知道他是救Anna的)和他的糜鹿Sven。當然，我沒有忘記奇怪的石頭老爺爺和他的同伴。好吧，當然也有居民。那些啊，都是Frozen 1也有的。在Frozen 2裡面，增加了不少角色。首先，因為他們去一個新的魔法森林，所以也就會遇到新的居民。再來，是遇到了一個看起來是一個可愛的蜥蜴但其實是火神的東西。他是紫色的，所以也會噴出紫色的火，但是不愧是Elsa，馬上就滅火還把蜥蜴變成藍色。最後她變成..........Elsa的寵物嗎?我也不知道!我家也看到幾個大巨人，他們是地球神。最後，一點差別也沒有，還是地球神!在電影裡面，也有一隻用水做的馬。各位應該也猜到了吧?沒錯，就是水神!在故事的尾端，Elsa騎著她，所以應該是她的交通工具。最後，是風神，也就是-----鏘鏘鏘--風!我知道你們一定在跟我擺這個臉吧。OK，我們剛剛講到哪兒.........喔，對，風神。他在電影裡時時段段的跑出來。最後，他把Anna的信送去給Elsa，所以應該是新的郵差吧。那就是我所記得的角色，如果我有漏角色，在留言裡告訴我喔!

 Hello, my name is Sophie Cheng, and today I'm going to tell you what I think about the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas.

Day 1:Today at about 3:00,my mom called me up to go to the airport. As my dad drove us to the Baltimore airport, I took a little doze on the car, so I have no clue about what happened on the way (probably nothing outstanding anyways). When we got there, we first checked in our luggage, and then we went through the security gate. However, because me and my sister wanted to go to the children's play area and the lounge, we went through the security gate for a different concourse. When we were done playing in the children's play area and eating  in the lounge, we went to the security gate that led us to our gate and boarded the plane. On the plane, we ate snacks, played games on my dad's phone (at least I did), wrote the stuff that we needed to write  (like my homework), read books, and looked out of the window. We stopped at Fort Lauderdale to get on another plane and eat lunch. For my lunch, I got a pepperoni pizza from a cafe Torn Basil. After we ate, we still had some time left over so we decided to go to the children's play area there since it was right next to the gate we were going to be boarding for Nassau. I must say it's a little boring, because there were only pretend clouds. Even though my mom says it's a work of art, I find it quite hard to agree with her. After that, we boarded our second plane flight. It was mostly the same as the first flight, except I had finished my homework and didn't have time to read books before our plane landed at the airport in Nassau. When we got off of the plane, we gave our passports to a lady to be checked and got our laggauge from the baggage claim. Then we went out of the Nassau airport, loaded into a taxi, rode for about thirty minutes, and finally got to our hotel-----ATLANTIS!!!!!!! After we got checked into our room (our room was in the Royal, which is in the middle between cheapest to most expensive), things went pretty smoothly. We read, wrote, and drew stuff. The only problem was what should we eat for dinner. The restaurants at Atlantis are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, so we wern't quite sure of what we should eat for our supper. We ended up eating seafood for dinner. My dad had to walk out of the hotel, walk out of Paradise Island, go across the bridge, and come back to get dinner! Well, I hope that tommorrow will be a fun day!

Day 2:Today I woke up at about 8:00a.m. For breakfast, I had 2 croissants and a cup of apricot tea. Then, because the room wasn't very good in my dad's eyes, we switched our room. After we switched, my mom helped me and my dad change into our swimsuits, and my mom had just buyed a cute,  swimsuit right before we came to Atlantis. I must say, one of the whole reasons that people come to Atlantis is because of its amazing water features, playing or looking. They have so many pools, slides, and more! Anyway, I went with my dad on the rapid rivers and the serpent water slide. They were SO much fun! For lunch, I ate the kind of noodles that you can pour hot water in or microwave. My mom had bought and brought a lot of them along because of, well, the price of the food here which I have already told you about. After lunch, I just stayed in our hotel room for a while and hung out. Then I went out to play the water features again! This time, me and my mom went to the on the rapids and the surge in the power tower waterslides. They were just as fun. However, after we went on the surge, we had a little "greeting" with a problem. Before we went on the slide, we gave our shoes, towels, room key, and sweaters to my dad. When we got down the slides, we entered the rapids. But when we got to the exit that my dad was waiting, or had said he would wait for us, my mom was scared to get off the tube and drag me over to shore (since I have no idea how to swim). We missed the exit that we were supposed to get off the tube and rode all the way to the end of the rapids, but when me and my mom got back to the place that my dad was supposed to be waiting, he wasn't there! We finally did find my dad, but Atlantis is so enormous, it took us forever! We were thinking that going to the front desk and asking them to call my dad (because remember, the only things with us was our body, our  glasses, and our swimsuits) would be the next step when we found him. Because we didn't have shoes, my feet really, and I mean REALLY, hurt. For dinner, my dad decided to order a chinese food delivery (hey, I know we're chinese, but we're in the Bahamas!). I sure hope tommorrow will be as fun as today!

你好，我名叫陳書扉，今天我要告訴你關於我回我台灣的感覺和樂趣。今年因為本來妹妹預定要動手術，所以提早回去了，不過最後還是沒有動手術 。 上次回去時，一直都在下雨(請看Our Trip to Taiwan 2018 這一片文章)但這次回去時，還是跟往常的台灣一樣,熱烘烘的 。我們抵達台灣的時候是台灣差不多晚上8:00，所以因為很晚了我們就去舅舅家住一晚 ，順便好好認識一下我舅舅剛娶的太太，因為我們打電話時，也還是會有點看不清楚對方長什麼樣子的 。 隔天，舅舅和舅媽和我們一起下去台南市，因為我們曾祖父的病加重了，所以我們先去醫院探望他 。我們的小阿姨來到嘉義高鐵站來接我們，上他的車後，就出發去醫院了，沒想到，醫院不讓小孩進去加護病房，因此我和妹妹只好待在外面等媽媽看完曾祖父 。 再來，我們去了西港跟很多媽媽那一邊的親戚打個招呼，然後吃了一頓晚餐，才回去爺爺奶奶家和他們說哈囉 。

祝我生日快樂!我生日那天，因為媽媽問我能不能先去探望曾祖父，然後我想說反正早上沒事做，就先去醫院了，再來，我們去了西港，不過，我已經等不及去保齡球館了，因為我非常喜歡打保齡球，所以媽媽說我們可以在保齡球館慶祝我的生日，而且我們還有邀請爺爺奶奶和阿公一起去呢!我們跟西港的人說掰掰後，就出發了，姑婆還送給我一個紅包呢!我們到的時候，先要了一局(因為媽媽查的時候，發現網路上說，只要當天有一個人過生日，就免費送一局)，然後就先開始玩了。 後來，阿公和姨婆(這個姨婆是指阿公的女朋友)先過來陪我們，然後再來是不常出來的奶奶，Illy狗狗和爺爺!而且，還吃了姨婆和啊公帶的布丁和蛋糕呢!打完保齡球以後，我們去了一下夢時代百貨公司，再去吃吳媽媽牛肉麵，然後就回去爺爺奶奶家了 。但是，還沒結束喔!回到爺爺奶奶家以後，我跟著爺爺一起去拿我的冰淇淋蛋糕，姑姑幫我訂的是訂的是OREO口味呢! 等蛋糕回到家了，奶奶也洗好澡了，我、奶奶、爺爺、妹妹、媽媽和小阿姨一起幫我慶祝生日 。 生日歌，吹蠟燭，吃蛋糕......真是好快樂呢!而且，小阿姨離開之前，他還送給我一個禮物...一個好可愛的小貓熊!真是既好玩又非常非常快樂的一天。

              Hi, my name is Sophie Cheng. I live in Lansdale, PA. Today I'm going to tell you about a field trip that my class took. We went from my school, Knapp Elementry, to the Adventure Aquarium in NJ. Anyway, here's how the whole thing got started. On the day before the field trip, Mrs.Middlekauff (my teacher)anounced the groups. I got in the, litterly, BEST GROUP EVER ! I had a group with my two best friends that are on my class (my very best friend, unfortunatly, wasn't in my class when we started third grade)! The only bad  part about it was that there were two autistic students. I mean, I don't exactly don't like them, it's just that. . . they make noises that are a little weird . . . and they sometimes turn off the lights in our classroom . . . and they talk a little weird too! When I got to school the second day, it was kaotic! The grown-ups were puting wrist bands onto our hands, they're were parents hanging around everywhere, and everyone was hanging around talking to each other! Announcements were not long-gone when we were out the door and ready to roll! On the bus, I talked with my friends. The autistic kids were on the other bus that carried Mrs.Berlanda's class, so we didn't have to worry about them. On the bus, I talked with my friends. We talked about our languages, our fears, ect. We even talked about creepy, creepy, creepy bugs and spiders ! When we got to Phelidelphia, the teachers told us. I saw my dad's work office in the distance, if, when we were driving back from a trip, I had saw the right building that my dad tried to point out to me. They also told us when we got to the deleware bridge,but Nadia noticed it before the teachers told us(and I was the one next to the window)! Then the teachers said that we could see the Adventure Aquarium from here, and Nadia and Foazia spotted it since they're closer to the other side, but I only thought I saw it at the last moment. When we got to the aquarium, we walked down the school bus. It was CHILLY! Then, we gathered together to take a class photo (Mrs. Middlekauff LOVES  taking photos) even Kenji and Rafe (the that   people) had to come to. Then we had to get in line to get into the aquarium. Then we were finnaly able to get into the aquarium. First, Nadia's mom (our chaperone) asked us about going to see the penguins. I went crazy but the others just said "Sure!" and we went. When we got to see the penguins, me and Foazia went crazy, Nadia just looked, and Mrs. Popek just waited for us to look enough. Foazia stopped going crazy when we went back in to see some other animals, but I still was. When we got back inside, I stopped going crazy because now that excitment was going with all of us to see the hippos. The hippos were GIGANTIC. and we could see them even from a downward window. I even thought that we saw that kind of little fish cleaning the hippo's backs! Then, me and Nadia wanted to go to the shark bridge, so we went down. On the way, we saw lots of kinds of jellyfish. We also saw some urchin exhibits, and there was this octupus, but we couldn;t find it because it was hiding so well. Finnaly we got to the shark bridge, but there was a problem for me and Nadia. Foazia was too scared  because she was such a scaredy cat, and Rafe had to go to the toilot  so me and Nadia couldn't do the shark bridge  . I could feel my whole face turning red with dissapointment as we (well, I mean me and Nadia) walked back down the hallway. I had been so excited, and Nadia had too. We were talking about it on the bus, we heard that it was really fun from another group in our class that went on it. Just SO dissapointed . Once we found the bathroom, Rafe and someone else in our group (I forgot who it is) went in. Me and everyone else that were waiting took a sip of water. Then, I started playing chopsticks with Foazia. When we were all done with the bathroom and the water drinks, everyone agreed that it was probably time for the snack  Mrs. Middlekauff had told us we could have. We had all brought our own money, but Mrs. Popek decided that she would buy popcorn and we wouldn't have to spend money. I was a little dissapointed that I couldn't get what I wanted, but I was happy that I didn't have to spend my money. Mrs. Popek even asked us if we wanted juice, but me and Foazia said no. I said no because 1.I didn't like juice. 2. It would be embarrasing to have someone that I'm not very fammiliar with buy everything I want.  So we buyed popcorn and ate it. While we were sitting and eating, I heard Mrs. Popek talking about how many injuries Nadia has had ( Nadia had fractured her leg near that time, so I guess that was why Mrs. Popek took up this to talk about). Then, we decided that sitting here to eat was too slow, so since Nadia had finished her juice, we decided that we would eat the popcorn while we walked and saw all the fish. So we kept on walking. Even though this was an aquarium, but guess what we saw! A cookobara (sorry, I'm not very good at spelling the name because I never saw its name, and if you don't know what I'm talking about, just see what word the arrow points to and it will give you the answer)! It is a bird that lives in Australia, I think, because when we heard about it in a CD, we were hearing the Australia song when it got pushed into the lyrics. Then, it was about time for third grade to meet up, so we went to the bathroom. This time, EVERYBODY had to try to go because we were going to ride on the bus without any stops until we got to the school, so the people that didn't need to go had to go to for an "in case". When everyone was done with drinks and toilots for round 2, we met up in the spot that our class was going to meet up in. I saw a penny smasher and one of those places where you can get photos. We got so bored while waiting that someone even suggested making a penny. But we all knew what Mrs. Middlekauff had said no souvineers, so we just stood there. Finnaly, our class came down the escalator. Then we went out to wait for our buses to come and pick us up. This time, it was taking so long to get on the buses. Finnaly someone spotted our buses, and we walked over. Once we got on the bus and it started to drive, things were really different from what had happened on the first bus ride. First, we just tiredly sang songs that are going to be in our spring concert. Then, I tried to take a little nap from how tired I was, but I couldn't because that was when bad part struck-Nadia tickled me everywhere and I had to control my screams and I also had to try to get my screams to reach the ears of the teachers. She even pulled on my hair. Thank god that Mrs. Popek had heard us and ordered her to stop. Then we tried a game that was about trying not to laugh or smile, but I was ALWAYS the first one out. Then mostly I did nothing but sit there and start to feel dizzy . Finnaly, we arrived back at school. My head was pounding by then, and my stomach was tumbling around, but since we were not on the bus anymore, I started to feel better, little by little. When we got to the classroom, EVERYONE got their lunch right away and began to eat (we were not eating lunch at the aquarium, so we had to wait until 2:00 to get back to school and eat). Also, even though this wasn't a suprise to us because she had told us she would do this yesterday, Mrs. Middlekauff put on a magic school bus videp for us to watch while we were eating lunch. After the video ended, Mrs. Middlekauff let us finish up our lunch, trash it, and then have a mini talk time. Everyone was talking about the shark bridge, which made me feel more embarassed . But things always get KAOTIC if Mrs. Middlekauff says we can have talk time, and this time, it got kaotic meaning KAOTIC. Someone tried to lead the whole class to do wierd poses that I couldn't keep up with if I had tried to join in anyway:warning number 1. Someone sneakyly gets out a cromebook:warning number 2. Someone keeps on making the class do wierd poses that I coudn't keep up with if I had tried to join in anyway plus that someone who got a cromebook searching up you tube:cromebook away, whole class sit down, whole class get scolded from teacher. Then, Mrs. Middlekauff said that we would work on fun sheets, but first we had to finish something, drawing our own aquarium! Then, we went out for recess, as normal. After recess, we kept on working on the fun sheets. Then I almost finished a word search, but we had to pack up and get ready for dismissal (at home I finished it, by the way). As I climbed onto my mom's car, I knew that this would be a day that I wouldn't forget soon.

哈囉，我的名字叫書扉，然後我今天我要跟你說為什麼我愛看漫畫。首先我要告訴妳為什麼喜歡我家的數學漫畫。我愛的原因是因為我其實不像其他小孩，我是喜歡數學。所以我才喜歡看那些漫畫。關於doraemon 漫畫嘛⋯⋯好吧，有比一個更多的原因。一個原因是因為在漫畫裡有些漫畫非常好笑。另外一個原因是因為這些故事的段落沒有很長、所以可以很快的唸完。為什麼我愛《紅豆綠豆碰》這個系列是因為那些漫畫裡面有些關於生活的教育。為什麼我愛《博物館大冒險》是因為那些漫畫裡面的角色也是紅豆妮、綠豆兵、Why博士、小米豆，大鋼豆，和黑豆妞。我愛那一套漫畫的原因也是因為那些漫畫中有關於一個地方的知識。關於為什麼我喜歡《漫畫名人堂》、是因為裡面有關於一些人的生活環境。有時候也有一個教訓。為什麼我喜歡Snoopy 漫畫是因為我覺得有些段落真的很搞笑。他的圖畫也非常可愛，從我的角度來看的話。當然、還有其他的原因我喜歡看漫畫。不過，我希望你跟我一樣、也愛看漫畫。說不定我們可以做朋友喔。

         Hello, my name is Sophie Cheng, and I live in Landsdale. From 2-15-2019 to 2-18-2019 our whole family went on a trip to Denver! On the first day of our trip, we went off to the airport. We went to a small children's play area once we got through the check in and the security gate. There, we met a little girl. I"ll tell you this, was that girl rude! She demanded us to do things like if she were the queen of England! She would command Yasmine to do things while she would go have her shoes tied or get a sip of water! She tried to command me to do things too! She called us like this:"Girl,do that!" or "Girl,get over here!" and stuff like that. When some other kids came, she even demanded Yasmine to gaurd a part of the playground because they were pretending that it was they're house! I mean,it's just pretend! What a very selfish kid! Anyway, we boarded a plane that took off at about 1:30. On the plane, we ate bagels and bananas. Snack time! We also had 2 periods of screen time. I tried out my dad's way of playing Sudoku. It worked ! I got the whole thing done with only 1 mistake! The same thing for the next time! I can't beleive it! When we got to Denver, I saw something very different about the baggage claim. There was a tall, long baggage claim that I saw had skis on it. Then, we rented a car and went to our hotel. For our dinner, we went to the California Pizza Kitchen. Good night!

        Good morning! Today we're going snow tubing! First, we went to the lounge for our breakfast. I had cereal and yogurt for breakfast. After that, we went back to our room. Then, we went to Target to buy some gear because for snow tubing, we had to go up a very cold mountain. After that, we went to the REI coop to buy some speical snow boots and pants that we couldn't find at Target. Then we had our lunch at Wendys before we went up the mountain for snow tubing. When we started to go on the road, we had to stop pretty quickly because Yasmine needed to go to the bathroom . It made my dad really mad because when we were still at Wendys my mom had asked her if she needed to go and she said she didn't so I guess that is what had made him mad. Anyway, when we finnaly got to the snow tubing place, first I went to the bathroom, then we put on our special cloths, and then we hiked up to a little shelter (my mom had to tell us to walk up ourselves and look out for ourselves because her shoes were not those kinds of special shoes). Then, we finnaly went to the snow tubing fun! At first, I thought the tubes were really heavy. But once I got used to it, we went pretty fast (not counting how slow the carry-on was)! It was so, so, so, so, so, so, very fun. For our dinner, we went to the lounge and ate a bunch of meatballs and preztal breads. It was a good day.

        Rise and shine! Today we're going to a beer factory! First, again, we went to the lounge for our breakfast. Then, we went to our room to change our clothes because before we went to the beer factory we were going to the swimming pool! At the swimming pool, I tried to have a mini lesson on how to swim, but my dad said we would have to wait until next time because I needed some gear. So insted, at the swimming pool, because I was tall enough to stand in a part of the swimming pool, we played Chase and Bonk Daddy! Then we went back to our room to, you guessed it! We change our clothes to go to the beer factory! It took a long time, about a hour, to be detailed, and we also saw a sight that was just a stupid G on the mountains that standed for Golden, the town that we were driving through, but at last we got to the beer factory. It was one for a company named Cools. The line for the shuttles was longer than we thought. It took an hour and five minutes. We had to play many games to keep us busy. Why, we even needed to go to the restroom while we were waiting! Mom also had to run back to the car 2 times to get clothes for me to wear because I was so cold! I was so embarresed  about wearing those clothes! It took a long time, but we finnaly got to go into the beer factory! Inside, my mom and my dad both grabed a thing that I think was that when you dialed in the number  that was wrote on the exhibit it would start telling you about what it is, it's history, and maybe the process of this step or the whole process all together. I did'nt have one of those "things" that my mom and dad had, so I just read the signs and asked my dad the words I didn't know. When we got to halfway, we saw a station for beer. My mom and dad drank some and then we carried on. When we got to the end of the pathway, we saw a HUGE place for people to drink beer (how many times am I going to type "beer"). My mom ordered a cup of beer and I got some soda. My dad ordered pink lemonade. He also bought some chips for us to eat. After we finished our snack, we went and got a penny-just for fun! Then we exited the beer mueseum, got on the shuttle, and rode back to the parking lot where our car was (we listened to some jokes the driver told us). When we started on the road to find a lunch (it was actully already 3:00) my dad said that we could go to Mcdonalds. We all agreed, so we drove off. At Mcdonalds, we saw tables with screens on them. There was even games on the screens! It was like little I-pads stashed into the table! And the table had pictures of what was in the games! There was Wink, Ants, Drawing, and I think it was called, Technigqe or something like that? Me and Yasmine played that while we were waiting for our food to arive. We had ordered french fries. After we ate, I went to the bathroom with mom and Yasmine and mom to use the restroom  and wash my hands. Then, we played some more with the games. My dad played Wink with me. He won the first round, but I don't remenber who won the second round. Then we took another hour to go to our new hotel. Today we were switching a hotel. It was very cold when we got out of the car because we could'nt park at the hotel. We parked somewhere a block away from the hotel. When we got in, my dad did the check-in while my mom, Yasmine, and me sat on the sofa next to the fireplace to warm us up. When we settled into our room, my dad said that at 5:00 we could go down to the lounge to see if there were any dinner options. Me and Yasmine drawed and colored until then. When the clock striked 5, we went down to the lounge. There weren't any dinner options, but at least I got to have a gronola bar (I guess) and some soda snacks. Then my dad, for real dinner, went out by himself to buy some seafood pasta for dinner. After we had finished, we had a small screen time. Then it was time to go to bed. Night-night!

My name is Sophie.This year we went to Taiwan.Even though Tiawan was supposed to be sunny, hot,and full of fun,but this time it was rainy,warm,as for fun…okay.At first when we got to Tiawan we always slept from 1:00-10:00.After we were used to the time,we looked for dentists,optometrists(eye doctors),doctors, and blah blah blah blah blah.I also learned how to play inline roller skates,I went bowling with my uncle Jack and my grandpa,plus I walked around City  Hall with my other grandpa.In the middle of all that,we also ate treats and got together for eating with family.Even though the times where we all got together only had one time.Plus,after my dad came to Tiawan for four days,we went to Japan!I probaly will talk about that.I hope this paragraph is very intresting to you.  

  Hello,my name is Sophie,and I live in Lansdale. We go to my cousin's every holiday to celebrate Christmas (though we sometimes also go in the summer). This year,when we went,we had to drive more then 3 and a half hours.When we got there, I got to meet my new cousin. Her name is Josephine,and she is 1 month old. At night,and I don't know how it got started,but we ended up playing "Chase Each Other Around The Kicthen". After dinner,my aunt cooked sesame rice balls for us to eat. They were SO YUMMY! Then we went to our hotel.

 Cocka-doo-doo-doo! It's morning! After breakfast,we went back to my cousin's house for the day. In the morning,we just played.Then,for lunch,we ate a fruit extravagantza(though we also had corn)!It was placed so beatifully! After lunch,my aunt had planed something fun for us. She had us sort coins by the penny,the nickel,the dime,and the quarters. Then,she had me line them up to make DOLLARS! She also had a book for me and George (that's one of my cousin's name)to collect quarters in. You know how some of the quarters have state pictures on the tail side? Well, that book is where you can keep them safe in. She also showed me how to put them into a plastic tube. But in the end I fogot how to do it so I lined them up while my aunt put them in the the tubes. After we finished all of the sorting,lining,and taping we were ready for a good dinner.For dinner we made sushi and had them get carried around the dinner table. Here is how it works:my aunt and my mom would make some sushi by putting some egg,tuna,and corn in seaweed that is saltened(I think)and put it on a plate. Then,we would put the plate on the electric train's car. Lastly,we would turn on the electric train and let it carry the sushi around the table. So when we were done with the coins,I helped set the table. Actully,I think it was more like set the railroad. I don't know why,but somehow I was extra hungry today. I guess it might be because of all the working. I mean,of course,all the sorting,lining,and taping. In the end,I got to make sushi for my mom and my aunt! Good night!

 Good morning! As usaul in this kind of time,we went to my cousin's house for the day.This day,''we didn't really do much exept for playing,playing,playing,playing,and playing.  Then,for dinner,we went back to our hotel. The hotel had a special that night,so my mom and dad decided that we could have our dinner there. There was some drinks like soda,juice,and wine. There was also some chicken,some salad,soup,a pastrie,bread,and chips. Oh,and I forgot to admit that before that we left my aunt's house I did leave a note and a pastrie. When we were done with dinner we played the games they had in the lobby. There was even a ball table in the middle! First,I played checkers with my sister while my mom and dad played with the ball table. Then,me and my sister played candyland while my mom and dad just watched and talked together. After that,my dad and I tried a wrestling toy that was like this:there were 2 controllers.1 person would controll a figure while the other person would cotroll the other. The players would hit and move to try to get the other player's figure fall over. If it does,then the player would lose.Anyway,finnaly,me,my mom,and my dad played a english crossword game. At first,only my dad was able to think of words with the letters he had. Then,at the last minute when we started cleaning up to go to our room,I was able to finish the crossword puzzle!!! When we got back to our room,we washed up,brushed our teeth,and hung our stockings up. It was finnaly christmas eve! Good night!
