Today was an amazing day. There was a total solar eclipse in Wuhan! I woke up early because I couldn’t wait to see it!
My friends and I went down to the Yangtze River to find a good place to watch it. We took cameras, chairs, food and drink, and special glasses so we could look at it. Lots of people gathered there to watch too. Slowly, the moon moved in front of the sun. It looked like someone bit a hole in the sun! It got darker and darker as the moon slowly covered the sun.
At 9:26 a.m. the moon completely covered the sun. The sky went dark. The crowd gasped and cheered. The light of the sun made a ring of light around the moon. I took this photograph then. The total eclipse lasted for over five minutes! Then it passed and the sky started to get brighter again.
I was really inspired by the eclipse this morning. In the afternoon, I spent hours reading about astronomers, eclipses, and how the planets move in our solar system. The universe is simply amazing! I also watched some videos with famous Chinese astronauts. I want to become an astronaut or astronomer someday too. The sky is the limit.

Hello, everyone! Today I can’t wait to share a memorable event with you!
It happened last Spring Festival in my hometown. On that day, I attended the Spring Festival celebration with my family. At first, we cleaned our house and put up red couplets(春联). After that, we made dumplings and watched a wonderful show together! At last, we set off small fireworks(放烟火) and enjoyed the bright night.
I felt not only happy but also lucky.The event also affected me. For example, I understood the importance of family time and now I love our traditional festivals more.

Our class went on a school trip to a farm. It was so much fun.
The farm was big and everything was new and interesting.We saw all kinds of vegetables and animals there. And the farmer showed us how to farm and milk a cow. Then, we did quite a few fun activities on the farm.We helped the farmer feed chickens and milk cows. The animals were so lovely that I couldn’t help taking many photos. Finally,we learned how to pick strawberries. The strawberries tasted really sweet!
What an amazing and meaningful trip it was! I had a great time because I not only got a chance to be close to nature, but also learned a lot about farming.
