-256-My Favorite Trip%u3000%u3000This winter vacation, I went to Japan with my parents. We stayed in Hokkaido for five days. It was the first time I went to Japan, and I was looking forward to this trip.%u3000%u3000In Hokkaido, I played with snow and enjoyed the scenery. I felt excited because this was the first time I play with snow. The snow is very cold and very white. I built a cute snowman with leaves and twigs. I also made a snow angel on the ground. It was very fun. There were beautiful views of mountains and lakes in Hokkaido, and I took many pictures of the ice sculptures near the lake.

I thought the ice sculpture would be beautiful after it was completely built in the future.%u3000%u3000The trip to Japan was amazing. I not only played in the snow but also enjoyed the pretty views. I had a good time with my father and mother in Hokkaido. Although we only went there for a few days, I felt very fulfilled every day.

I can visit more places and enjoy more activities!Class 301 ElaineMy Chinese New YearClass 301 Anna%u3000%u3000I always have a big feast with my family members during the Chinese New Year.

My uncle will also go back to Taiwan to join it. %u3000%u3000I really love the Chinese New Year. This year, I ate dinner with my family members. We ate a lot of things because family members got together during the Chinese New Year. We also eat fish every year. The fish is always yummy. And the whole fish means we will have plenty to eat. Grandmother told me, the more food we make, the more we will have. My grandfather told me, the Nian was afraid of loud noises. So, we often go to sleep late and play fireworks. My sister and I got red envelopes with good wishes and new
