Composition of lesson 3 of book 3 of New Concept English After walking round the ancient city, the archaeologists became more and more quiet even if they felt inside more and more excited with what they saw.This temple seemed so old that they can not tell the period easily.But it was easy to find that it was used as a place of worship.On entering the sacred room, the archaeologists did not find anything special but found that the ground was not as natural as usual.They stopped and checked the ground with the machines they took.After this, workmen began digging and soon discovered some clay fragments. The first gragment seemed like an arm of human, which made archaeologisted very excited. They also found some commodities. The archaeologists carefully took the fragments out of the ground and worked together to reconstruct the body parts.They were astonished to find that the fragments the reconstructed turn out to be goddess.The goddess was 3 feet high and resting her hands on her hips.She was around fifty years old and was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground.She stood there very gracefully. Although the archaeologists succeded in rebuilt the statu, they were unable to find out her name.

My life recently I have been teaching mandarin for more than three years.Recently i dont want to work for any institution any more, but i dont have enough private students to support life in Shanghai, such a big expensive and crowded city .So i decided to look for a new job. It is really difficult to find a new one,the same one you also feel satified with.With great enthusiasum, i sent my resume in both English and Chinese to several companies.Finally i got several chances for interview. Two of them are located very close to where i live now.How conviniet if i work in such a company.I will not have to take the crowded subway or bus in the morning and late afternoon, which always take around 3 hours for two trips. But i takes me only 15 mins to walk to the company where i will have an interview. However after the view,i dont have to go there forever. Anyway, above are the work.It is not all about my life. Meanwhile,i am living a simple and free life.I have more time to surf on internet, to watch TV,to have a walk around the Jiangwan Stadium and the Knowledge and Innovation area beside the stadium.I also have more time to cook, which i am not good at but really into it. My roommate should feel very lucky these days.Because i always prepare the lunch and dinner when he return:).It is also a pleasure to share food with friends. I enjoy my free life.However,i have to find a job to support the free part.I hope i will have some progress in the soon future.

andrew's notebook entry: May 31, 2011(Below is the composition of lesson 2 of NCE 3) A small village kept silent except the clock tower in the church.While all the villagers were waiting for the last strike of twelve o`clock then to go sleep, the clock suddenly stopped .The village sunk into complete silence .No one could explain why. The vicar climbed into the clock tower with torch at his hand.Before he could see something unusual, a trail of buzz came to hime from the clock .He thought it must have been a cat or something else.It`s also somewhat scary to hear such sound in the midnight.When he arrived the clock floor, in the torchlight, he found that the clock had been invaded by bees.A queen bee stayed in the centre of the clock, centered by many bees staying on the hands of clock.The hands and pendulum were full of honey and wax.The vicar found nothing to do about that.Yet an idea came to his mind. A bee keeper was called the next morning.The keeper removed the queen bee from the clock, and other bees followed .After all of these, the clock was clean and villagers were happy to see the clock working again.
