Wonderful trip to west coast We finally come back to Tampa today after 21days travel in west coast . We've been magnificent Grand Cayon, beautiful Great Titon and amazing Yellow Stone, of course Yosemite too. I was shocked by the amazement of the natures, which are created by God, our only and true God. Thanks for you created everything, ourself included.

A farewell party Yesterday we had a farewell party in my friend's house. We have been in the same English class for almost one year and next week one Korean couple are going to leave Tampa. Eight persons attended the party yesterday, in whom were three Chinese ,four Korean and one Mexican. Q prepared lots of delicious food ,which included some Chines food ,some Korean food and some American food. Gentlemen drank beer because they had to drive ,while ladies drank vodka. We talked a lot about the classmates, the trip in America and other interesting or embarrassing things we experienced. Although we have different accent , we can understand each other. All of us treasure our friendship very much. I will leave the U.S. in August too. The time flies. I feel a little sad because I will miss my friends here.

A trip to Miami We visited Miami last week. We got to Miami on last Monday and had a fun time at the south beach. We took a boat tour around Miami the next day and took a lots of pictures of mansions which are belonged to many world wide famous star or very rich people. Then we went to key west , in which we took an exciting sunset sail. The last two days, we stayed at everglade national park and saw so many different kinds of wild animals such as alligators,crocodiles and dolphins. We are so amazed in the unbelievable beautiful work God has done. There is no excuse to say everything just happened by chance.

Family Reunion Tomorrow My wife went back to China last September after she helped us settling in the U.S. She had to back to work in China. I was so tired of being a Dad and Mum at the same time in the past half year. But everything will change by tomorrow because my wife will come again! We are going to meet her in Chicago ,where we will stay for several days. My daughter is so excited , so am I. We cannot wait to see our beloved mum or wife!

Homesick My friend has been getting a serious homesick from last week. She keep herself staying in room, and doesn't want to talk with anybody. Last month, during Chinese New Year, her husband and son came to see her from China and left after two weeks' visiting. Now, as she said, nobody would share her delicious food ( actually I can) ,and everywhere they had played together would remind her something. I told her to be persistence and she would see her family very soon, but she said there still would be half a year left. I can do nothing about that except consolation. Please don't be hesitate to let me know if you have some good advice . Thanks !

A proposal letter Dear Sir or Madam I'm glad to know that a new swimming pool will be built in our town. The advantage of building this pool is obvious ,as people like go swimming but we don't have one before. One of my proposal is where we build this pool should be considered thoroughly. In my opinion, it is better to build this new pool in town center instead of outside of town. If it is located out of our town, it is not so convenience for most of the people living in the town. Hope we can use this pool as soon as possible. Yours sincerely Hunter

A letter to my manager Dear manager: I'm regret to inform you that I can't come to work for a while from next week. As you know, my wife has been pregnant for several months. Her doctor told us today she need to stay at hospital for waiting to give a birth. I'm not sure by what time I can come back until now ,but at least for next week I couldn't show myself at office if you approve my application. During my time-off, John can help with the work as he has been my assistant for half a year. Your sincerely, Hunter

Chinese New Year is coming! Chinese New Year in 2015 , the most important traditional festival in China, will be kicked off from February 18. The day which is called Spring Festival Eve will be the first day of the one week holiday. It's the most important traditional festival in China. Some other Asian countries like Korea, Japan and Vietnam will also celebrate this festival. On Spring Festival Eve , Chinese will have a family reunion dinner and watch CCTV Chinese New Year Gala over the dinner table. People usually get up very early on the first day of lunar new year. Some of them even set off firecracker on midnight to welcome the coming of new year. They believe some one who gets up the earliest will be the luckiest person in the coming year. Kids will get lucky money from the elders. Sweeping and cleaning is forbidden because people think the luck would be cleared away. Also for the same reason, people wouldn't get their hair cut during the first month of lunar new year. Because there is no English word for 羊 which is a Chinese word for all kinds of sheep and goat, Chinese New Year in 2015 can be called the year of sheep or the year of goat too.

My holiday I traveled to Jamaica with my daughter in this holiday. Jamaica is a small but beautiful island in Caribbean Sea. We lived in Kingston for 2 days. Kingston is the capital of Jamaica, but it's not a big city actually. We visited the strawberry hill, in where you can buy blue mountain coffee, the best coffee in the world, and you can get a bird's-eye view at Kingston city. Then we moved to Montego Bay where you can find the most beautiful beach. We lived in a hotel with really pretty beach for 4 days. Everything, such as eating, drinking, sporting and other sweetheart service are included in the room charge. We went a reef snorkeling and watched many gorgeous fish. Also , we learned some new words about fish such as sea urchin , stingray and so on. My daughter had a special birthday in Jamaica. She got a lot of surprise like birthday gift, birthday cake and wishes from some new friends. It's a really amazing holiday , isn't it?
