Today is my birthday. Ha ha!Today is my birthday.I am 14 now.What a coincidence!Today is Lantern Festival,too.So,my family and me had lunch outside.Then,my parents took me to buy birthday cake and glue pudding.Tonight,I can watch wonderful Lantern Festival Party, eat delicious birthday cake and glue pudding.I am so happy!

Ha ha!I was free today. Oh!I am very very happy now.I was very very busy resently.Because I always got ready for my final.Oh!Eight subjects,exams for three days.I was so tired.But now I am free,my winter holiday begins. Ha ha!This winter holiday will be very different from previous.Becaues I will go to Lianyuan,Hunan.My grandparents live there.My parents and I will celebrate Spring Festival with them.It is cold there,perhaps,I can see the snow.Oh!Snow must be beautiful,I am so excited. I can do many interesting things in winter holiday.For example,I can take many cute photos of my toys and dolls.That is I want to do early.That should be toy camera.But I have never done this thing.I think I can have a try.That should be interesting.And I can read books,see films and so on.Oh!I can have more time to practice my English,too. My spoken English is not very good.Especially I had an English friend later,I felt it more obvious.It is difficult for me to understand my English friend.I can only depend on a few words to guess what he want to say.And I often do not find some English words express what I mean,That makes me nerous.Write composation a bit slowly is no matter.But talk with others slowy is not good.So,I know there is a long way to go before I really master English.And that is not easy.But I must belive myself. Oh!This winter holiday must be colorful!
