1.On New Year's Eve,we got together at my grandparents' home.We had a big dinner with 10 courses.However,the whole chicken,whole duck and the pork leg were not touched.My grandparents said that they would have finished those first when they were young.Obviously,times had changed.We just picked some delicious seafood.
After dinner,I went outside with my cousins.We lit fireworks and firecracker.The dark sky became colorful.We shouted and jumped when we saw the fireworks shooting into the sky and exploded into leaves and flowers,gold,red,green or purple.
Some of my cousins held the firecrackers in their hands and lit them and then threw them up.The firecrackers cracked up in the sky and made all of us laugh heartily.
We played and played until midnight.At that time,all the kids lit their fireworks and firecrackers at the same time.The whole sky was lit up in a moment and happy noise made whole neighborhood very high with excitement.What a great evening!
2.Last week,I lost my wallet in Daqin,Heilongjiang Province.I had no money and no identification card.I tried to make a phone call from a pay phone,but nobody was willing to spare me some coins.This place was cold and I felt colder here than anywhere else,because I did not know how to speak Chinese and how to get help.
I was about to cry out when a taxi driver stopped his car by my side."Nihao",he said."Nihao",I answered,but that was the only Chinese I understood.Then,he talked to me in Chinese,but I just shook my head.All of a sudden,I heard him saying "hello".On,my,he could speak my language."Hello,hello",I answered in a hurry in fear that he might leave.
I told him what had happened to me and he took me to my friend's hotel without asking for the fare.Before he drove away,I asked what his name was.He smiled and said,"Lei Feng".
"All right,Lei Feng,I will find you and pay you back later."
My friends laughed out when they heard my story."How could you find Lei Feng?He was long gone." What?He was here not long ago.I was confused.However,at that moment,I decided to learn Chinese and find out who Lei Feng was..
