My old bedroom

My old bedroom was small and very comfortable. Except for sleeping, I always enjoyed sitting on the bed and have some reading. The bedroom was on the second floor of a townhouse. It had white ceiling and walls. In the corner on the left side of the door was a large mirror that was hanging on the wall. Every morning I usually stood before the mirror to make sure I dressed well. Right next to the mirror, there was a large wardrobe that was built into the wall. All of my clothes, shocks, shoes and etc. were put in the wardrobe. On the right side of the door was a king-size bed. The mattress above the wood bed frame was not too hard and not too soft. I would be full of energy and happy whenever after a short nap or a long sleep of a night. Facing the bed was a large glass window with a window blind. From the window, I could enjoy the beautiful scene outside and the birds flying in the sky. Against the wall below the window was a study desk where I did my homework. Although the room is quite small, I really liked spending a lot of time in the room.

Lisa's birthday adventure

August 15 is Lisa’s Birthday. In the past five years, Lisa’s father and mother held big birthday parties for her every year. However, this August, Lisa’s mom was out of town because of business. Lisa was a little bit sad for a couple of days because she knew that there will not be a birthday party this year. In the morning of her 5th birthday, Lisa woke up around 7am and put on her best dress. Then she walked to their backyard and played with her favorite toy, Babie, but she felt so lonely and disappointed. “Hi, sweetie, happy birthday” Lisa smiled and asked her father what they would do that day. Her father showed her two air tickets to San Diego and promised her that she would like her birthday adventure. Right away, they got on their car and drove directly to the airport. After about two hour’s flight, they arrived at San Diego. At a famous Pancake House, they had a very nice breakfast. Then they went to a water park. In the park, Lisa’s father tried his best to teach her how to swim. Before that, Lisa was a little bit afraid of water and didn’t like to play in the water. However, on that day, she was not afraid of water at all and loved to learn to swim so much. And after a while, she grasped the basic skills of swimming and even could float without any help. She felt so proud of herself. At noon, Lisa was very tired and fell asleep in the car they rented. When Lisa woke up, she found they were in the parking lot of San Diego’s Zoo. Then they bought tickets and started to walk around the Zoo. The Zoo was so large and had a lot of animals, including pandas, giraffes, elephants, and polar bears. Among all of the animals, what Lisa liked most are the elephants. These giant guys have very long trunks and they can use their trunks to spray water and lift heavy logs. Time flied, it was almost evening when they finished visiting almost all the animals. They had two more hours to stay there before they return to their home. It was almost the perfect time to enjoy the sunset in the beach, so Lisa’s father drove to the Jo Lala beach. The beach was so beautiful and clean. And there were so many people. Some were swimming; some were surfing, while the others were just relaxing or playing at the beach. Lisa couldn’t wait to practice her swimming skills. They put on their swimming suits and started to swim in the sea. That was the first time that Lisa saw the sea, and enjoyed the amazing beauty of the sunset in the beach. She was so excited and appreciated that her father made her 5th birthday so wonderful and unforgettable.
