The foods make me think of my cousin
There is a woman I never forget. She is my cousin. Her name is Li Ning, she is very beautiful and thin, but she is a little short. We all used to stay at my grandma’s home. She looked after me grew up, and only cooked for me. Every time I see Cola chicken wings, I always think of her. She used to take care of me and I used to go to her home to play with her daughter and her husband.
When I was a child, my older cousin used to take care of me nicely. She is only one girl and oldest in my cousins, and I am the youngest. She is older than me by eleven years, and she was just like a sister to me, she is the nicest to me. Because I was so young, my cousins didn’t like to play with me but she did. She used to play with me and tell ghost stories to me. When I cried or my mother scolded me, she used to buy some snacks for me and coax me to be happy.
After she married, I used to go her home to play with her daughter and her husband, and my cousin used to cook Cola chicken wings for me. Whether she was single or married, she never cooked and she couldn’t cook. But even though I was kidding that I wanted to eat the Cola chicken wings that this is the popular food for children, she just learned how to cook it in the Internet and cooked it for me. It was her first time to cook. I can never forget. After she had a daughter, her daughter used to play with me. I like her daughter so much and I used to take care of her the same as my cousin took care of me. In addition, her husband is also nice to me. He used to play poker, play computer games and play billiards with me. He is just like my brother.
After I went to the USA, I always think of my cousin when I see Cola chicken wings. We always talk in the Internet. She hoped I can come back the China early. She said she would cook more delicious food for me. And I think her Cola chicken wings are the most delicious food I have eaten.
Now, whether I eat something delicious or terrible, I always think of the Cola chicken wings and the person who cooked it. I miss my cousin so much and I hope I can see her soon.

How to plan the perfect ordinary party
An ordinary party is one of the most popular ways for spare time activities. After busy work, people prefer to go for party. During the party, people are very relaxed, excited and enjoying it. They can forget the terrible things, forget the busy work. But planning a perfect party is not an easy thing. The steps to plan a perfect ordinary party are a place, budget, foods and the activations on the party. If you ready for all that things you will have a good time for the party.
The first thing to plan the perfect ordinary party is choose a good place. The place is very important for planning the party. If you want to sing and dance, you can go to the KTV or bars. If you want to go to barbecue you can go outside. Choose the some large parks where there is grass or small forest. Mountain is also a good place for outside party. Of course, you also can choose someone’s big house for the party. If you do that, you need to have enough chairs, tables and tableware. Which place you choose depends on where you and the people who join your party like.
Second, you need to do your budget, plan whom you are going to invite and choose a date. After you choose the place, you need to do a budget that how much will be spent in the party. That is only an ordinary party to relax and the party is made for making people forget busy work and enjoy it. So you needn’t to spend so much money on it. Next, make sure whom you are going to invite. They are maybe your friends, your classmates or the people whom you work with and you need to let them know if they can bring their girl/boyfriend. If somebody has children, you need to consider if they can bring the kids. Then just choose a good date which has the good weather and all of they have time on. It may be a weekend or after your work on the workdays.
Third, you need to have enough food and plan the games. If you just choose the KTV or bars, everything will be easy, because you needn’t to have food or drinks. Even though you have food, the KTV and bars won’t allow you to bring them in. If you choose the place outside you really need have enough food and drinks. You can have the hamburgers sandwiches and everything you want. But don’t buy them too early, they will be bad. If you will go to barbecue you need to buy some fresh beef. Fresh fruit are also good choices for your party. Then have some wines and sodas to drink. Never make somebody, who is not old to drink or who can’t drink, drink more. It may be terrible for you and your party. Next, plan some funny games for your party. Truth or Dare is a good choice and many people like this game very much. You also can add some drinking games in your party, like galloping dominoes and finger-guessing game. Those games will make people happy and relaxed. If you make the party at home or outside, you can have some music. The pop music can make people excited and the traditional music can make people relax. Music is really good for people’s emotions.

Life change
Everyone has some important turning points in his life. The important turning point can change life. Maybe you are poor and after a turning point, you change to be rich. Maybe you are a normal person and after a turning point, you change to be a successful. I think my first important turning point is coming America. Last year I came to America, my life was changed and the food, education and lifestyle are different.
After I had been to America, I found the most important change is food, and “American bread” really made me feel unaccustomed. There are many differences between Chinese food and western food. In China, the main food is rice and noodle. Chinese eat rice every day. But American main food is bread. Hamburger, sandwich and Subway sandwiches all are made from bread. And you can see bakeries everywhere in America. In the busy morning, my parents always buy the bread as our breakfast. Luckily, we are Chinese family and I always can eat Chinese food, because my mother can cook them for me. But when my parents are not at home and I’m hungry, I always go to buy the hamburger or pizza. Maybe they are delicious, but I just feel unaccustomed.
The change of education is the biggest change for me, and it will help me get better education. Different countries have different languages. After I had been to America, I just studied English. It’s really boring, but the learning style is fine. Unlike Chinese education, American learning style is very easy. When I was in China, I studied fourteen hours every day. It’s not a joke and it was seven o’clock am to nine o’clock pm. It really made me tired. And Chinese education is only for the text. You needn’t understand the questions, the teachers just need you know the answers of the questions. The American teachers use interesting ways to teach and they take care of every student whether you are good student or not. But Chinese teachers are not, if the Chinese teachers think you can enter the college and you like to study, they will teach you more. If you are not, they will ignore you.
The lifestyles also changed. I was unaccustomed to pay tip for the worker, live in the house and more easily to find work. I had been lived in China for eighteen years, so I was used to the Chinese lifestyle. After I had been to America, something is different. Unlike China, after I have the dinner in the restaurant, take a taxi or go to the bar, I need to tip them because they work for me. In China, even though they work for me, I needn’t to tip for them because the boss will pay the money for them. No tip for the worker becomes a habit in China. Before I went to America, I had thought that living in the house is luxurious. I thought living in a house is very nice, there is own garden and park in the house. But when I came to America and really lived in the house, I didn’t like it like before. The house is really nice, but I found some short comings during I lived in house. There are lots of disgusting insects in house, like cockroaches, spiders and centipedes. In addition, living in the house is very cumbersome because you need to fix up everything if they are broken. But if you live in apartment, the super will deal with it for you. On the other hand, I found it’s easy to find work in America if you want. But in China, it’s really hard to find work because there are so many people in China. So if you don’t have good education, you don’t have outstanding place then you won’t get good work.
Coming to America is the important turning point for me. My life was changed because of it. Food, education and lifestyle are different. But I think I can adapt to it. I believe the American life is better than Chinese life. I will go farther in America.

Experiencing an earthquake
My hometown is in the northeast of China. It’s a good place. There have not been serious natural disasters for more than one hundred years. The people in my hometown always call it “the land of treasure”. I used to hear the people and the television say how horrible earthquakes are. But until I was eighteen years old, I never experienced an earthquake. It had happened nearly half a year ago before I came to America. Even though it was a small earthquake, I still remember it, it’s really funny.
Before the earthquake came, I had played computer and watched the movies at home, as usual. That day was sunny. My mother and I stayed home. We were waiting to come to America, so I didn’t go to school and my mother didn’t go to work. I played on the computer in my bedroom and my mother watched TV in her bedroom. Both of us never thought that the earthquake would come.
When the earthquake was coming, I didn’t even believe that. I stay in my bedroom, sometimes talking with my classmates on the Internet, sometimes playing games and sometimes I watched movies. Suddenly, ii felt my room shake a little, just a moment. I thought it was an illusion, and I didn’t care about it. I still played games and watched movies. About five minutes later, the building shook again. I knew it wasn’t an illusion. It was true, it was the earthquake. Then my mother came to my bedroom and asked me: “Did you feel the wobble? Is it an earthquake?”
“Maybe.” I answered, we lived on the eighth floor and there aren’t any elevators in my building. So if the earthquake came, we can’t run outside safely. But I never wanted to run, and neither did my mother. We were talking about the wobble for a few minutes, then my mother went back her room, and I went on playing on the computer, just like nothing happed.
After the earthquake had come, I knew it was really the earthquake. I think it was funny, and I was surprised I wasn’t afraid of it. After the earthquake, I found some of my friends, who were in my hometown, who said it was earthquake, on the Internet. I knew was really an earthquake, an aftershock from another city which was near to my hometown. That was my first time experiencing an earthquake. And I was not sure why I wasn’t afraid of it. Maybe, because of I had never experienced an earthquake. I always thought it was very far from me. So when it was really coming, I didn’t feel fear. I thought if I live in japan or somewhere where there are many earthquakes each year, everything would be different.
It was my first experience with an earthquake, and it was different from the impression of natural disaster in my mind. Maybe, for others experiencing an earthquake, it is a terrible thing, but I thought it was a funny thing. At least, I had experienced the earthquake, and nothing happened to me.
