1.地鐵
These years you can see many underground railways are being built in some big cities. underground railway is both convenient and fast. the underground railway is also called "the tube","the subway'or "the underground".
There're lifts for you to go up or down. the trains' doors open and close automatically. in shanghai, during rush hours the underground arrives at the station every two minutes.
But with too many people taking the underground, people find it really too crowded. maybe shanghai needs more underground railways.
2.我的五一假日
I had a great time throughout my may day holiday.
On monday, i went bbq with my classmates who threw a celebration party at our middle school principle's flat. our parents were invited to the party. everybody was excited about the holiday. i ate a lot of delicious food at that time.
On tuesday, i went visiting my uncle's family with my parents. we went to celebrate our good time at a fancy restaurant in shanghai. later that day, we sang karaoke in my uncle's house. we stayed for the night.
On wednesday, i went shopping with my cousins. we bought some brand name t-shirts and pants. in the afternoon, my cousins gave me a fun ride on the city highway. they also taught me how to drive their fancy car, so i tried to do some turning and parking. it was not easy first. but i learnt quick.
on thursday, we returned home with many gifts from our trip. i tried to get some rest. at night, i chatted with my classmates on the phone, and i watched cctv before going to bed.
From friday on, i started to finish up my homework assignments on my personal laptop. some of my assignments were quite boring. after i finished the homework, i emailed them to my teachers. that was the end of it. i started to prepare things for school on this coming monday.
All in all, i enjoyed my may day holiday in many ways.
3.農業科學
Today i went to the country to see my uncle. seeing the green cabbages and the fine wheat, i couldn't help asking how he could grow them so e said that science of farming was important.
It included: choosing the best seeds; keeping the condition of soil good and ploughing deeply; sowing the seed and growing young plants at the correct time; changing the crops in the fields; and giving plenty of water, light and fertilizer.
