The Weather These days it is cloudy and foggy. Sometimes it is windy in night and cold. I must close the window when I sleep in night. Last night there was a heavy wind. The wind screeched, the sound liked ghosts crying. At that time I thought of a movie which called A Chinese Ghost Story. Could not Nie Xiaoqian come? I was looking forward to her coming, but I was more frightened since Nie Xiaoqian was a ghost. After a while,the wind stopped, I couldn't hear nothing. "Nie Xiaoqian has gone." I told myself and felt peaceful. Then I wanted to laugh at myself. How timid I was! How imaginative I was! Haha.

These days it is cloudy and foggy. Sometimes it is windy AT night, and cold. I must close the window when I sleep AT night. Last night, there was a heavy wind. The wind screeched, the sound likened to ghosts crying! At that time, I thought of the movie A Chinese Ghost Story. Could not Nie Xiaoqian come? I was looking forward to her coming, but I became more frightened because Nie Xiaoqian is a ghost. After a while, the wind stopped; I could hear nothing*. "Nie Xiaoqian has gone." I told myself, feeling peaceful. Then I wanted to laugh at myself! How timid I was! How imaginative! HAHA! 

 

This was a fun little paragraph to read :D I have to admit that I added a little bit of poetic license for clarity's sake. What a fearful tale! On the asterisked sentence: That mark is a semi-colon. It's a way of bringing together two clauses that have a common thought. You could separate the two thoughts into two sentences, but it flows better this way, and looks better on paper! Also, remember not to have a double negative "I could not hear nothing." is wrong. "I could not hear anything." would be more correct :)

 

A very interesting tale!

There are so many versions of 倩女幽魂, including a cartoon. I like the 1960s for its literary content and the more modern ones for excitement :)
