My Chinese Learning
With the development of China,Chinese become more and more popular. As Chinese, it's our duty to learn Chinese well. It helps us to understand Chinese culture better.
Chinese is one of the subjects that we have to learn at school. I used to be weak in it and I felt stressed out. My Chinese teacher advised me to read more books. From then on, reading plays an important role in my life. I often went to the library which was near my home. I made more progress in Chinese.
I think reading books is a useful way to learn Chinese well . Also, it's necessary to practice writing as often as we can because practice makes perfect. Only in this way can we become a good Chinese learner.

How to be a good learner
To be a good learner, we should have good habits and ways of learning.
We need to get ready for our lessons before class and always listen carefully in class. After class, we must go over the lessons and finish our homework on time. It’s good to study in groups and help?each other. We should do more reading in our free time. If we have any problems, we’d better ask others for help. As a student, working hard is important, but don’t forget to do sports and keep healthy.
I think all above is helpful to us to be a good learner.

I am very glad to tell you something about spring festival.
It’s a traditional festival in china. It comes in winter. It’s time to get new. We usually clean and decorate our houses carefully before it comes. I always help my mother clean the windows and wash the clothes. We?put on Chunlian on the doors and chuanghua on the windows.
It’s time to say goodbye to the last year, and say hello to the New Year. Everyone goes home to get together with their families, no matter how far it is. They must have dinner together on that day. They must visit their relatives and friends and say “Happy New Year” to them. When the kids greet their grandparents, they can get money.

Dear Tina,
I’m very happy to hear that? you’re coming to china next week. I hope to see you soon.
As we all know, different countries have different customs. So the manners in China are very different from those in your country. Let me tell you something about customs and manners in our country.
First, we Chinese are supposed to shake hands when we meet for the first time. Then we greet each other. After that, you can talk about something relaxing. But you are not supposed to talk about someone’s salary, age and so on. Second, we use chopsticks to have meals while you use your forks at table. Also, it’s bad manners to talk too much when you’re having meals.
I hope you’ll have a wonderful time in our country.
Yours,
Su Min

I really had a bad day today!
This morning my alarm clock went off at the usual time. I thought it was Saturday, so I turned off the alarm clock and went back to sleep. Then I woke up about two hours later. I felt good to have a lazy Saturday morning. But when I opened my eyes and saw my sports bag, I remembered I had planned to go running with Jamie. Then I realized it was a school day! By the time I got to school, the first class had been over.
What a bad day!
范文2
Yesterday was a really bad day for me.
To start with, my alarm clock didn’t go off so that I got up late. By the time I got up, my father had already gotten into the shower. Then I rushed to the bus stop without breakfast. By the time I got there, the bus had already left and I had to rushed to school. When I got to school, my teacher had already started teaching and he was really angry with me. Then it was time to hand in homework, but I had left it at home. I was really embarrassed at that time.
One good thing was that my history teacher said something good to me because I had done a lot to prepare for this class. It was the only good thing for me yesterday.
