An interesting Story/ FilmHave you ever heard of the tale about the Wooden Horse of Troy. It happened in ancient Greece. The Greeks tried to capture the city Troy for ten years, but failed. Then they thought of a trick. They made a big wooden horse and hid themselves in it. After their enemies pulled the wooden horse into the city, they climbed out of the wooden horse at night and beat their enemies. That’s really an interesting story.AutumnThere are four seasons in a year. Autumn is my favourite season. It is neither too hot like summer nor too cool like winter. It’s very cool. Zit’s time for us to fly kites. Autumn is colourful. The leaves on the trees turn yellow, red, brown or orange. Autumn os also golden. It’s the harvest season. We can enjoy different kinds of fruits. In Autumn, we have a traditional festival --- Mid-autumn Festival. During that time, we always get together and enjoy the beautiful moon in the sky.CormantsCormorants are large black birds. They are about a metre long and good at fishing. They are also good swimmers. They can dive down 25 metres and stay under water for up to two minutes. So they are used to help fishermen fish. This is a traditional Chinese skill. It is very interesting. But now we seldom see such way of fishing.My favourite drinkThere are many kinds of drinks in the world. But my favourite drink is green tea. It is really a cool drink. I enjoy the taste and colour. I drink it every day. I like drinking green tea while I am working, reading and watching TV. I also enjoy drinking it with my friends when we are chatting together. In my view, drinking green tea is also good for our health. It has become an important part of people’s life in China.Keep petsNowadays many people like to keep pets, so do I. Last year my father bought me a parrot called Billy. It is from Africa.

My father and I are very excited because both of us are fans of cars. I thought it eas a good chance for us to broaden our minds and enrich our knowledge. We were glad to see so many kinds of cars there. We took a lot of pictures and planned to keep them in the computer. There hours later, we went back home. Though we were really very tired, we didn’t stop talking about the car show on our way home. It was really an unforgettable experience for me.Books are my good friendsI like reading.

But for me, the best way to relax myself is to keep fish. It doesn’t cost too much. There are only two things I have to do—change the water and feed the fish. When I watch my fish swimming freely in the tank, I really feel pleaded and happy. Their beautiful shapes and colours make me forget all my worries.The pain and happiness in my lifeThere is much happiness in my life. I feel happy when I get marks in my subjects. I like pop music. Wonderful music always makes me feel happy. Besides pop music, I’m keen on football. The happiest time for me is that our team win the football game.
