A Breathtaking Adventure ( 6-2012.6.2)
If you ask me one thing which is the most risky I’ve ever done, I will tell you that I have adventures every-day. But if you sit on me and ask me my most breathtaking adventure, I’d say that’s the time I climbed the pavilion diff cliff.
It was a sunny day and the hill was very green, flowers were opening, the light was flashing and the wind was touching my face gently. I was with mom and a foreign friend named Yeves. Suddenly, when I looked up, I saw a little pavilion in which we can have a rest, and it’s not far. So I went up there quicky followed by Yeves and mom. But when I sat down on a side of the stool, I noticed there’s a rope nailed on the cliff, so I demanded that we should try to climb it. Mom was scared, but we went down anyway.
I grabbed the rope and tried to climb it. It’s a cliff, so there’s no place for me to rest my feet. I can only pull myself up using my arms! If I open my hands and let go, then I’ll fall off through of a bundred feet hundred foot cliff, if I don’t, I will if don’t go up in five minutes. So I suppose that the cliff is the ground, and I’m walking on it just with my hands grabbing a rope！ So I “walked” for four minutes, and finally pulled my self up on to the stool.
Game over!

You're a very brave girl Mille! I would be too scared to climb down a cliff. Great story and great entry!

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am learning English because I like to chat with Foreigners. Also, I like to travel to other countries, and I have a chance to touch any many kinds of people. The next job that I want to find is speaking English so that I can learn quickly.

Hi Kensue, good first entry! If you have any questions about the corrections, please ask me!

The Trip to Xiashan resevoir

Xiashan resevoir is the biggest fresh-water lake in the whole of Shandong province.It's in Weifang, specifically, in Anqiu.It is surrounded with by mountains. Most of them have hand-made stairs for the people to climb up .Still, it's beautiful.

But we went to the resevoir not to climb mountains, but for fishing.

There's a lot of ponds near the resevoir and we went to one of the baddest worst: a narrow lane with lots of mud on it, a tiny stream full of small green water plants on it,and a big yellow pond, wich give one an impression that nothing is in it.

My family and the other sat down under some trees-that's the only good news for us.Me and a small boy felt very boring bored. So we caught some tiny fish and watched them play around. When we finally felt sleepy, mum exclaimed:"Wow！Fish on, the line! Fish on the hook!" We hurried toward them.A silver coloured fish is sruggling in the river. He is splashing and making lots of currents as he was pulled toward the shore.It is a middle size fish and we put him in a net.Then, we still put the net in water but he can't escape.

"Can't I try？" I asked twenty minutes later,"Oh, no" Dad said scornfully."You try?" I'm afraid that you'll be pulled......" "Fish, Fish,quick,drag the pole, come on！” exclaimed before he finished."Then again, maybe you can try it". He shrugged his shoulder. It's a huge fish.With four nostrils on it! We put it in the same net and feed it some food.

We caught a few more small fish, but they're so small we have to leave them alone.

At about 4:40, we took a ride on the car and returnd home. We're gonna cook the fish.They'll be delicious.And it was, really a fun day.

Very good entry! Just a few notes:

<em>we went to one of the baddest</em>

When speaking about something being the most bad out of a group of things, you should use "worst". It's similar to how the most good out of a group of things is "best". So, good > better > best; and bad > worse > worst

<em>Me and a small boy felt very boring.</em>

<em>
</em>When speaking about how you yourself feel, you are "bored". When you use "boring" in the way you did in your sentence, you're saying you are causing others to feel bored.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I'm come from Nantong, China, but I am now working for an Singaporean company. During my work time, I often use English to communicate with others by writing E-mail. I speak a little, so i'm always slient when I meet foreigners.

If someone speaks English fluently, I will deeply admire him or her. He or she is my fans. I am his or her fan. So learning English is my interesting.

Great first entry! Don't be afraid to practice your speaking :)
