Physical activities

From last September, I began to learn a physical activity, it named kick-boxing. When I first knew it I think it must be a handsome and exciting activity. Because the clothing we need to wear is all white with a white-color belt in the middle. And with your level go higher, the color of the belt will be changed too. The highest level when you achieve is the color black. I thought it must be interesting to get that one. So I wanted to learn it well.
The first several classes we learnt are about side-split and cross-split. For I have never practiced it before, I felt really hard to do. Then I asked the master, with a little nervous. But he was kind and told me if I want to do it well, I should practice it every day and every time try my best. So almost everyday I practice it and I feel I can go better and better, I felt happy about this, so gradually, I stopped to do it and satisfied with what I could do. As you know, one month later, I almost back to the origin and could not do this again. The master said I should not be lazy any more and do it more careful. Then we learnt about kick. It is really fantastic I think, every time I saw others who can play this well and everyone admire of him or her. That feeling must be excellent! First kicking we learnt is side kick. It needs to use your instep to kick out. And we practice it for many times but the master still said no. The most words he said were: No energy. Then, we put more energy and effort in it. When he said better, we often felt happy. Next we learnt is Turning kick. It needs you to turn around and then kick. It seems easy but it is really hard to do it well. I remember that I did hurt my right foot' toe and could not move it for almost one week, also including the next week’s PE quiz. The exercise which gives me the deepest memory is learning about side somersault. I enjoy the person who likes a big wheel and walking in the air. I thought that feeling must be wonderful. So I wanted to learn it very much. But just looking, I still can not do it so far, I was afraid of that and thought maybe I will fell down and … So far, I still can not do it very well.
This morning, the weather is good, my mother and me went to Purple Mountain to have a rest. The sun shines beautifully and we felt comfortable, because of these days’ lazy, we started very slow, and I found even the elder can do it so well, so we found that we need to do it almost everyday in the morning if possible. At last, we still arrived at the top of the hill, we took photos and breathe the fresh air…
Herein before are my physical activities, I will do it once a week.

club

Not from the beginning, but at the middle of the first term for me in GCA. I was interested in soccer and also, soccer is the most popular in the world, the most extensive influence, and the biggest sports, known as “the first movement”. So I talked to Angle from Grade 12 if I could join it. She was surprised but she agreed me to join it and to be the manager, then she started to teach me something about it.
At the first several times when I went there, I was just stand or sit there to see what she was doing and remember some of the members in this team. Let me introduce something about it. The time is every week’s Thursday 4:15 p.m. and the place is the playground, unfortunately, if you have classes at that time of the week, it means you can not join this term. When the most of the people is arrived and the time is right. Angle started to roll call, then use a short time to practice, when having PE lesson and learning soccer, we also practiced this kind of thing. Like header, shoot, pass and stop... Then move on to the match time, the PE teacher divided the peoples into two groups and marked “A” or “B” in front of their names, and the game begin. At this time of the match, Angle can almost have a rest and sit in the football playground and look at the match, she told me that she was good at being a goalkeeper. I told her that I was interested in organizing the people. Next thing she often does is to record who plays better or have progress. I enjoy seeing them playing because often a person is passing the ball, and the people from other group stop it and the ball immediately went another direction. And also, the most people started to ran in the different direction. If possible, the ball went to the goal but suddenly the goal keeper appears and the ball stays in his hands quietly. The teacher is not relaxed at all, he needs to run with the ball and watch carefully about who is doing well in this game. At last, angle also told me that being the manager is not so tired because we have team leader and he organizes the game or arrange the small things in the team. I remember last time Angle decided which kind of cloth is the team cloth.
By these days’ studying about soccer, I knew more about it, there are 11 people in each group and each group must have overall consciousness. Until 1863, the first formal football game rule was established in Britain, it also marks the birth of modern football. And it 105 meters wide, 68 meters length. The surface must be flat and hardness, with no damage athletes and does not affect the normal operation of the ball. FIFA World Cup soccer World Cup organizing committee has instructions in artificial turf. This is such an interesting game and I enjoy it very much.

Volunteer work

During this winter vocation, I have done a very meaningful thing, which is doing volunteer work in Siya Garden Restaurant.
The first day I came there, I thought to be a waitress must be so easy that only need to give guest some water, say “Hello” to them, of course, the temperature there won’t be too hot or too cold. So it must be comfortable.
At about 10:00 A.M, there was no guest so early to have meal, but I should follow the other waitresses to learn how to fix up the tableware. In each room, there was 12-15 people’s seat. So always doing one same thing is a little bored. The most embarrassing thing I met is that I want to go to the washroom, so as usual, I went to it. But when I came out, the manger said to me in a very straight way ‘That is used for guests, we can not use it’. Then she told me where we can use it. I really feel embarrassing about it. Then I used to it.
Now I thought that I really did a lot of things, such as passing the dishes. For me, I thought it was very easy but I was wrong. We need to hold the dishes in only one arm and have a 90 degree in it. When you have this once, you feel it is so easy, but second, the third, you’ll feel it is not that easy and your arms will feel uncomfortable. If you send these dishes into the room, for some food, you have to distribute the food for every person. On a night, there was a big party there, and I was allowed to help them, I feel a little new and nervous. Because as usual, always others do things for me, but that day, I have to do things for the guest. At the first several times, when they asked “waitress”, I almost heard nothing, and other waitress often remind me, they are calling you! Then, I hurry to them and asked if they need help. They often looked at me for a moment and then said what they need. Maybe they thought why this restaurant need this stupid girl?.. But I don not care.
In there, I also learned about how to open the alcohol. Before this, I really don not how to open it and confuse about it. But now, I know it, so next time, when someone needs to open the alcohol, I also can open it for him or her. The last I learnt is how to put the dishes on the table although the guests did not eat them all. For example, I can put the little things in a small plant instead of the big one. In normal, each new dish should put in front of the main character and the last dishes always fruits. So we can put them on the top of some soup or other big plant maybe the guests will never eat.
In conclusion, from this volunteer work, I learnt about that a waitress is not as that easy that everyone can do it very comfortable. So in the next days I would like to do more volunteer works and feel more about this society.
