Staying Up
Hi, my name's Xin and I am a high school freshman student ,first grade. [In American English, "first grade" is only used to describe the first year of elementary school for 6-year-olds, after they complete kindergarten as 5-year-olds. For the four levels in high school and the four levels in college, use: "freshman, sophomore, junior, senior." You can also use "9th grade" and "10th grade" for the first two years of high school.]
Now I am on winter holiday. Well, I was planning to read some books and spend some time studying schoolwork knowledge. But it turns out I just can't stick to it. I guess I end up at doing that all the time. Sometimes I think I can't do anything that takes time and need requires me to make up my mind.
I like to watch American TV shows. I love "Modern Family."
It's also very late now. Now I am on the fence about if whether or not I am gonna going to ["gonna" is very casual - better for casual conversation but not for writing an essay] stay up all night because thought although I usually sleep very late, but my uncle will be visiting [or "is going to visit"] and taking my little sister [his niece?] to his home.
I get up very late these days. I don't have to worry that the cat will be get out of the bag [meaning of this phrase: the secret will be discovered - the secret will appear like the cat jumps out of from hiding in the bag], because no one will leave me holding the bag [meaning of this phrase: you will get blamed for something - the bag is the evidence of wrongdoing, a bag of stolen goods or items]. Well, haha, Iwill .haha, was just using thethose phrases.
The New Year is coming. I know I will watch the shows on channel CCTV1 for the whole night at of the Spring Festival. Not the whole night, it's just until midnight. Hope everyone's happy learning languages :D
Good job! :-)
