Two weeks ago, our university festival was held on the weekend.I am a member of the festival committee, so I worked on the organizing side. My group worked with a restaurant on campus to create a special menu for the event.Since before the summer vacation, we had been thinking about what kind of menu to make.On the festival days, our food sold very well, and I felt really happy that our hard work paid off.Compared to last year, this year was much busier, and I didn’t get much sleep every day, which was tough.But now, when I look back, it has become a really fun memory🌟 The seniors have already retired, so it’s our turn to work hard next year. And I made more friends in the committee than last year, and going to the activities every week has become something I really look forward to. I’ll do my best to make next year’s festival a fun and successful event too!

Three weeks ago, I performed in a dance show at my university festival. It was a really fun and exciting experience because many people came to watch our performance. I felt a little nervous before going on stage, but once the music started, I forgot about my worries and enjoyed dancing with my teammates.Right after the festival ended, our dance club started practicing for another event. It's for our Christmas party. At the party, each dance team will perform a special number, and there will also be dance battles and presents. I decided to join five different dance numbers for this event. That means I have a lot of practices every day, and sometimes it’s hard to balance school, part-time job, and dance practice. Even though it’s tiring, I’m really looking forward to it. I think it will be a great chance to make good memories with my friends and improve my dancing skills. I can’t wait for the Christmas party.

I made my decision actually straight forward and simple. I was so bad at math, all I wanted is avoid more math classes. Enjoy writing, literature and languages, English was rather simple to me, so I chose to learn German linguistic and literature.

I had a listening test today. I listened to the audio many times, so I could write everything down, but I’m not sure if my answers are correct. Since I started taking the listening class this semester, I feel my listening skills have improved a lot. I can understand English conversations more easily than before. In December, I will take the TOEIC test, so I want to study hard and improve my English skills even more. I especially want to focus on listening and reading practice to get a higher score. Also, I want to take good care of my health. Recently, the flu has been spreading, so I always wash my hands, gargle, and wear a mask when I go out. I try to eat healthy food and drink a lot of water every day. If I get sick, I can’t study or concentrate well, so I make sure to get enough sleep at night. I hope to stay healthy and keep studying hard. My goal is to do my best in both English and health, and get a good score on the TOEIC in December!!

Recently, I'm interested in world business, economy and environment news. I don't studying there, but I want to study there. I often reading business, economy news by online news app. Then, environment news is picking up in that app, so I'm interested in these news. Especially, I usually read Africa's environment news and EU's economy. Africa's environment issues are so serious. For example, drought, water's shortage, and so on. I reading these solution news. I usually surprise to amazing solution.👀 EU's economy is also interesting. It's difficult, but I think that is important topic to me. World economy is connecting strongly. So we should reading other country's economy news. In addition, I occasionally reading some topics world news. Entertainment, political, technology and so on. Maybe, I like reading a news. But we should be careful about fake news. It is dangerous that misunderstanding by fake news. Readers have to keep a high level literacy.

Each year, on November 11th, it's a special day for Chinese people. It's the Shooping Online Day. I still remember the crazy situation about 15 years ago. When some smart ones created that special festival, most of the Chinese young people couldn't wait to start their online shopping trip. Their online shopping carts were full of a variety of items, from cap to shoes, also including different kinds of electronic devices. They stayed up later in front of the screens until Novermber 11th finally came. After 3 to 5 days, a lot of packages from many different regions came to their homes. During that period, they looked like super stars whereever they went to. Iphone 4 was their essential. Slowly, the heat of this festival faded even the vendors gave them a big discount. This year, actually it's the day before yesterday, I even didn't open the shopping apps. Eventually, we understand that this is a bif game about hunters and preys from the very beginning.

Last week was pretty eventful for me. First, I went to the dentist because I had a cavity that needed to be treated. The dentist drilled my tooth, and even though it didn’t hurt as much as I expected, the sound of the drill was still kind of scary. After that appointment, I felt relieved that the cavity was finally taken care of. A few days later, I joined a school field trip to Chinatown. The streets were colorful and lively, and the smell of delicious food filled the air. My friends and I tried some steamed buns and walked around looking at different shops. It was a fun way to learn outside the classroom. I also visited a brow salon for the first time. The staff shaped my eyebrows carefully, and the result looked much better than what I could do by myself. It gave me a little confidence boost. At the end of the week, my club had a celebration party. I was one of the organizers, so I tried my best to make sure everything went smoothly. Ironically, I ended up being the one who got the most drunk. Everyone teased me about it, but it turned into a funny memory.
