I am learning a new skill. Every time i see people swim in water like a fish, i think it is awesome and really cool! I always hope to learn that. There is a truly nice place near my home. So, last week, i asked myself: why not a try? Just do it! Now! So we bought tickets and entered excitedly. You know, it is really horrible thing for the first time to put your head entirely under water. Fortunately, my husband accompany with me and relax me, and i tried and made a further step slowing and finally i can float on the water surface with face in the water. I am so happy i overcome inside fear and make a big step in that. And in the end that day, i can swim 1 meter under water with one breathe. I hope i can grasp more skills and swim farther next time. There were many kids, in different ages, they are so happy, all laughing all the time. Water is clean, pool is reasonable. Really a nice place to relax!

God bless us - we need rain here! It has been a long time since last rain in Zurich. Grass in some land changed to gray and no longer green. The leaves turned to dry. BBC weather said several times that it is going to rain. However, it ended no rain, or just a little shower. When the sun comes out, it is really hot! I got burnt last week when learning swimming. It really feels pain. I ought to use more ultra creme next time.

the first lesson My first class on the internet was very successful. She asked about my ability of reading, writing and listening in English. Suggested me the best way to learn words. She also told me had better specify the area of career in future. I think these are very helpful before going forward with English. A beard well lathered is half shaved.

Feb 24, 2013 Today is Sunday. Zurich still snows. It is seldom sunshine in February. I always want to go out with my husband and Lele, my little girl. But always get disappointed due to the bad weather. It seems I can only wait till March or April when the weather is good enough then traveling outside. I got up at 5am this morning as Lele was rolling in the bed and crying. After that, I can not fall asleep again. But getting up earlier is not so bad, as i can do some reading, writing without people’s disrupting. I just hope not wake up so earlier some day in the future-what a heavy responsibility a mother takes with a baby. Now I understand a lot of things about my mum, things I can not understand before.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself i am learning English because i want to be an interpreter and travel around the world. My native language is Chinese and i grew up in China. Now i am living in Zurich for family reason. i like singing, walking, shopping, reading. So, what about y? Let us exchange some. :>
