Tonight is the longest night around the year.After this day,daytime will be longer and longer,as the night shorter and shorter until vernal equinox.In china, old people think after this day,the weather will be colder and colder.in the next 54 days , our ancestors divided it into six parts.each part has nine days.they are call yijiu'erjiu'sanjiu'sijiu'wujiu'liujiu.during sanjiu ,it's coldest time around the year.After the start liujiu' ,the weather will be warmer and warmer.On this day, people in north of China will eat dumplings to celebrate it .Bcause dumpling's shape looks like our ear,people think if they eat them,their ears will not be frozen.people in south of china will eat rice dumpling.I don't know the reason.today many students buy frozen dumplings in the shopping market and cook it in their dorms.Dumpling is my favorite,I gotta go to eat dumplings.

What a nice day today there are five students who come from USA coming into our class room.they showed us the story about chrismas and how they celebrate it in America.After that,we had free talk with them.I think we can only ask them some simple questions.I want to have some deeper topic.I don't know what kind of topic i should choose.But we had a great time together.by the way, there is a very talent guy with a beautiful voice.
