Act in the evening party of military training.

We were singing in the stage.

Before we started.

Lots of students cheered for us.

In November 2008, all Grade 10 students went to have the military training in Fang Mountain. During the military training, drillmaster taught us how to stand and walk in the soldiers’ way. We learned a lot about how to behave like a soldier.

Although the training was really hard and we were all very exhausted, we still had a good time during those days. In the evening before we left, our Grade 10 and Grade 11 students came together and we had an evening party. Our drillmaster told us that “It is the time to prove our courage. Go and have a show!” Of course, we did not want our drillmaster feel disappointed, so we prepared for the coming wonderful evening in the afternoon.

In the party, we 9 boys from 10-A sang a song called “The End of The World”. Honestly, it was my first time to sing a song in front of such numbers of people. When I stood on the stage, I felt butterfly in my stomach. I encouraged myself”Go! That’s it! I can do it!”, but I was still so nervous that I even forgot to sing the first sentence. I got stage fright. When we were singing the song, I could hear lots of people cheering for us. It made me become a little bit confident of myself. ”I’m not so bad.” I thought. It was still clear in my mind that when the song was over, I could see lots of people clapping and cheering for us. I went down the stage with a sweet smile on my face. I took a deep breath and I knew my debut was perfect! It was a really unforgettable experience for us.

I felt fantastic about this performance. Although I felt nervous at the beginning, I still did a very good job. We 9 boys got lots of supports and cheers. It was my first time to act in a performance in front of so many students. I found my way to show my talents to other people. I learned that we need to catch every opportunity to show and improve our abilities to others. Don’t be shy and scared. I also learned that it is very important to be full of confidence to face every challenge in our lives.

The ticket of the fashion show.

The catwalk of the show

On the evening of April 26, 2009, there was a fashion show held in GCA. Students needed to wear the clothes which they designed; some of the clothes were even made by themselves. It was really exciting and we have prepared for this evening for a long time. We cannot wait to see how fantastic the show would be. I went to the show with my classmates. The fashion show started at 6.00p.m in the courtyard of GCA, but we attend at 6.10p.m.

When we were arriving at the courtyard, the show had been on for a moment. I saw my classmates walking on the catwalk. Sky wore the school uniform which they designed. The black tie fits him perfectly, and the shirt looked very relaxed on him. Then, Helen walked on the catwalk, she wore a casual party clothes. She looked pretty beautiful on it. Rita was a member of my group. She wore the dress which designed and made by Selina. It was even better than we imagined before. She looked perfect on it. I was proud of her. Also, there were many teachers wearing the clothes designed by students. Mr. Shapour dressed like an astronaut. It brought us a lot of fun. Ms. Chu and Ms. Hadley were very charming on the stage. Students took as many pictures as they could to treasure this fantastic fashion show.

I liked this fashion show. It was a good stage for us to show our talents and abilities. Also, we can know more about our classmates and friends by the show. It also showed me the styles of clothes which students in GCA like. I think the show was exciting and interesting. We prepared for that evening for a long time. Our group put efforts into it and we looked forward to seeing the smile and cheers from other students and teachers. It was really exciting to show our final work in front of all GCA. Also, it brought us lots of fun. It was a good and special stage for students to show people how cool they were. When I saw these funny clothes on my friends, I could not help laughing.

Throughout the fashion show, I find that there are different styles of clothing all over the world. The fashion show could help us know the fashion trends in GCA. Some clothes are in western styles especially like some party clothes, but some clothes are in Chinese styles like. The differences between the styles of clothes may show us the differences of cultures. We may go abroad to study in 2 years, it was very important for us to know these differences. In addition, knowing these differences clearly can help us to be easier and faster to adapt ourselves to the new environment.
