Physical Activity

I learned the billiards in the last term. I think it is very interesting. I tried my best to learn it.I think I play was not very good.

The game of billiards is not difficult to understand and with practice, we can win the first match within a few hours. There are different types of billiards games. however, there are simple ways to learn each one so we can join in while we are at the billiards hall. we need advance training if we want to play like a pro player and once we have all the skills.

I learned basic knowledge in the few weeks and how to play it. I played it in the recreation. We rack the balls. All balls (except the white cue ball) start in the rack.In billiards, cue balls are the balls that a player strikes with the cue stick. For almost all pool games, I place the eight ball in the middle, the one ball on top and alternate stripes and solids around the rack. We decide who breaks. Flip a coin, rock, paper, scissors, or we can each try to hit a ball as close to the railing as you can, and the closest breaks.Then break the rack. Whichever you make are the types of balls you will be trying to sink for the rest of the game. When we do not make any, our opponent can shoot at any stripe or solid. When we make one of each, we can choose. Shoot as long as we keep sinking our balls. It is not our opponent’s turn until we miss a shot. Finally, alternate turns with partner. When we are on a team, we can not shoot until we are partner has taken a turn. My classmates and I go to practise several times.
I think concentration is very important and we should keep it. We should patient and have observation. Playing billiards exercise my patience and willpower, let me keep trying. I know we should never give up to do anything. Playing billiards have some rules. First, don't hit the white cue ball into a pocket. This is called a scratch, and we will lose our turn. The other team gets a free shot from the area where the cue ball was placed for the break.Second, pool is a game of finesse. The biggest mistake rookie players make is striking the ball too firmly. Aim, and only hit the cue ball as hard as we need to.Playing billiards made my body healthy and let me to learned a lot. I know we should try our best to do everything and constantly exercise ourselves.

I think everyone can play billiards. My personal fitness goals is to exercise myself.Billiards is a game that increases eye-hand coordination, focus and concentration, and even practical application of physics and geometry.

I want to have more chance to learn it.

School Club

Last term I joined the piano club. The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard that produces sound by striking steel strings with felt covered hammers. The hammers immediately rebound, allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency.These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a soundboard that couples the acoustic energy to the air so that it can be heard as sound.The piano is widely used in Western music for solo performance, ensemble use, chamber music, and accompaniment.
GCA is a place that create amazing. I never thought that I can join a club during my high school life, but here at GCA, I made it. Piano club gave me this exciting experience, which I can enjoy my life.I love piano, especially listening. Piano is king of all the musical instruments, it represents a kind of power. Although I am a girl, but I still enjoy this feeling. At first class, one of the piano club leaders Mark from Grade 11 show us a strong way of piano life. He played the famous pianist’s song “Destiny”. I was not only be charmed by this song, but also Mark’s agility hand, he showed his magnetism of playing the piano. Another leader of our piano club Raymond also exhibited his understanding of piano. Not like Mark that full of passion, he is quite and peaceful. He likes country music. So he act as an elegant gentleman, played a sadness love song. On the following days, these two responsible club leaders taught a lot about piano and piano songs.We learned piano every noon. Our leaders are very patient.They taught us very hard. We learned about the music and the skill of piano.We learned how to play the piano. We should playing in time, to the rhythm and repeat the bass pattern at least 20 times. It can made us to played better and better. Once you can maintain a consistent pattern in your left hand, try to play a simple melody in your right hand.

I think the clubs strenths are the leaders are very excellent. We learning very hard.
This club is good. I think we can learn a lot of skill about the piano.The weaknesses of the clubs are sometimes we cannot practise regularly and it not have many people. I think if we have more people we can have greater achievements. I hope this club become better and better.

We learned about the piano in the club. The school organized many clubs can change our communication and our talent. It can made us communicate with each other more spontaneousness. After school clubs - or programs as they are better known - are designed to help develop a child's talent or skill. These clubs are of a recreational and educational nature. They have been created to help keep children active and interested.One of the most crucial advantages of a good after school club is that it broadens a child's topic of interest. They are introduced to new subjects that can be both interesting and somewhat challenging. When we learns a new skill or masters an art, their self esteem grows. This allows them to be introduced to new career options. If we attends a music class they may like it so much that they choose to become a classical musician later in life.Another great advantage to after school clubs is socialization. We are able to share their interests with other classmates and make new friends. Both acting and soccer classes can prove to be fun. These clubs will teach children to perform and play at matches. Both performing on stage and playing at a match can prove to be a very good experience. To me, I learned lots of about piano and I meet some friends. It made me more actively. I really cherish this chance. I want to do it well.I learned a lot, and it will be improved in the rest of my life.

Volunteer

Volunteering not only helps others, but it also brings a sense of accomplishment to all involved. About a dozen volunteers show up at the school each day to help wherever they are needed: tutoring students, setting up science experiments, combing down cowlicks for school pictures and bagging popcorn for class celebrations.While some of the work of the parents, grandparents and other adult volunteers involves physical labor—such as applying a fresh coat of paint to the teachers' lounge.Volunteers are helping themselves while helping others doesn’t really matter in the larger scheme of things. Regardless of their reasons for getting involved in volunteer work, they are still providing a valuable service to the company, offering their skills free of charge to those who need them.


We helped Ms.Mitschrich to do the basketball and drama work. On Saturday,we went to the school. Ms Mitschrich told us to draw the basketball poster . We took the red paper to drew the picture and wrote slogan.We helped each other to do quickly. I think cooperation and division are very important. The teacher told students carefully to do everything. We drew with paints and brush. Students are very attentively.We tried our best to do this. Other students to paper-cut, made the pig and help moved the desks and chairs. The picture we done were very beautiful.We took it to the stadium, cheer for the players.


Every Saturday we went the school to helped the teachers.We learned a lot. We know the importance of cooperation and we should kind to each other. I think volunteers usually begin in basic level positions. As our gain more experience and training, we have the opportunity to move to positions that require more responsibility and provide more challenge. Volunteer service benefits everyone.I knew reuse the some useless thing. I learned how to paint the pictures.There were a lot of things we should know in the school. Many volunteers find that they get as much out of volunteering as the give. Whether it is feeling like an intricate part of your community or meeting new friends.


As a volunteer, we will enjoy the fulfillment of giving to our community and helping a worthy cause but you can also get valuable experience - experience that can escort us to our new job. The challenge is finding the volunteer position that is right for us. We shouldn't be afraid to ask questions before making a commitment.

Volunteering is something we can do no matter who we are. As a volunteer we can make a difference. By helping others, we can foster our career strengths, skills and experience. It can be a very rewarding experience and can also be a valuable asset to our job search.


Volunteering makes good business sense during all stages of the life cycle. From the student learning a new skill to the senior practicing old skills, working at a volunteer job can be practical and fulfilling.We can teaching volunteerism to children may set a lifetime example of helping others.College students who need job experience and high school students trying to qualify for scholarships are perfect volunteer candidates and recent graduates can meet people and gain work experience through volunteering. The attitude among today's recent college graduates is to get out there and do whatever is necessary to gain experience.


I think do the volunteer is very meaningful. I want to get more chance.

Cultural Awareness

On December 23, we went to the Tacos restaurant that located in Zhujiang road.We went to with our classmates and some grade 12 students. We went to the restaurant by car at the 7 clock. That restaurant is the Mexican restaurant. We want to know the culture about the Mexico and Western meal etiquette.

I like this Mexico restaurant. Because service is very good ,environment is very clean and price is moderate. We ate very happy.It mainly the western food. The ingredients and taste were different from China.It tastes good. The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.
And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

I think the environment is nice. It is very clean.The atmosphere is also very good.There have few foreigners in there. The service is better than China. They are very polite and kind.Tacos food is delicious.I think many people would like there.
