Dinner at Round Table Steak House

menu

On the evening of March 6th, 2009, I went to have dinner with my mother. After I finished filming the movie, my mother and I met at 1912 on ChangJiang Road. At the beginning, we could not decide which restaurant to go to have dinner, but later we were attracted by a western restaurant called Round Table Steak House. I think the reason why we finally chose this one was that there were not too many people in it and we would rather choose a quiet and peaceful place than a noisy and hot place.

At about 19:30, we were in the House and I ordered the steak which the waitress recommends us to try. Before we ate the steak, we had some very delicious soup. 5 minutes later, I started to enjoy my beautiful steak. It was so delicious that I even wanted to order one more. Although there is only a small piece of meat in a big plate, I still like it very much. Steak is a very traditional food in western countries. I think it is not only very delicious but also very healthy. We can gain lots of heat from it and we would not feel so cold in the winter. It was very different from the meat which we cook in china. We always cook it with other kinds of food, so it may lots the original taste of meat. When I eat the steak in the House, it will make me feel more close to the meat. Also, I believe that steak will make me become stronger.

I think the environment in the Round Table Steak House was PERCECT. When I was having steak, it was not very noisy and a singer was singing in the House. It was fantastic and my mother and I all love this western restaurant very much. There are not so many people in the House, it was quiet and peaceful. Also, another very important thing was nobody smoking beside me, it made me feel very nice and I liked the fresh air in the House. I noticed that most people there were youth; maybe we all enjoy this environment. The service was perfect; the waitress let us feel that I was in a palace. She asked us if we need to add water and lots of things, anyway she is willing to service for us. I would recommend my friends to eat there; also I think I will go to Round Table Steak House to have dinner again.

Exhibition of Nanjing History and Culture

A funny artwork

The most interesting artwork, also my favourite one.

At the gate of the Temple

Last week, on March 1st 2009, I went to see an exhibition in Chao Tian Temple with Helen. She told me there was an exhibition called Exhibition of Nanjing History and Culture. In the morning, my mother drove me there and I met Helen at about 10:00 a.m. at the gate of Chao Tian Temple and then we started our visit.

The exhibition is about the whole history of Nanjing. It shows how Nanjing developed and grows into a large city at present. Nanjing is a city with a thousand-year-long history. There used to be the capital of 6 dynasties. Most of the things shown were artworks which were manmade. However, there were also some parts of bones of primitive men.

In the exhibition, I found that an ancient astronomical instrument attracted my attention. It was very famous in Nanjing. I remembered that I used to see it in an astronomical observatory at the top of Purple Mountain. The instrument seemed to be a very complicated machine. Also, it was not only an astronomical instrument but also an excellent artwork. There are some flying dragons carved on it. I can imagine how developed the science was in ancient time in Nanjing. I stood beside the instrument and looked like a scientist controlling it. That’s really cool! At that time, Chinese people like to make research on the space and lots of stars in it. When I taught the instrument, I can even feel that I am close to the sky.

I liked the exhibition very much. It showed me the wisdom of people in Nanjing. I am really proud to see these artworks and scientific instruments as a boy growing up in Nanjing. I also saw some very famous artwork that I had only seen in the TV before like that ancient astronomical instrument. It was really excited to see these cultural relics. I thought some artworks was so excellent and I even want to take them home (just a joke :-). However, there is no brochure to help introduce the exhibition. It might be difficult for us to understand the meaning or the story of every artwork. On the other hand, it will give me more space to use my brain to imagine how it would be used to do. From the exhibition, I know how Nanjing become such a large city, and i am so proud to live in this city which has a long history. I will study hard to help to make our city and our country become stronger.

Jogging

Physical exercise is good for our health. During the winter holiday, I had a wonderful experience with a lot of exercise. In the afternoons, I went to do exercises with my father and my friends frequently. I enjoyed the feeling of dropping sweat. I had a good time jogging with my father. Although he was older than me, he still kept running for about 5 laps with me. I could control my breath freely and when I was jogging, I could even hear the sound of my breath. After jogging, I felt happy and entirely free from worry. Sometimes, I played basketball with my friends or neighbors. We grouped ourselves as couple teams to take part in the game. I learned that how important the team spirit was when we played basketball. No individual hero, everyone needed to put all their efforts into the game to achieve success. Passing the ball, jumping shoot and getting points. From these, we could trust each other their basketball skills on the court. Also, those made me feel the love of brotherhood and neighborhood. As one of my hobbies, rope skipping was my favorite. I loved rope skipping, it only took a small space and I could do it on my own. I always skipped for 100 as a group and 10 groups one time.

I learned a lot from these physical activities in the 10 hours. When I jogged or skipped, the only thing we needed to do is to keep doing and doing. However, it even became quite difficult after you have kept jogging for 5 laps or skipping for hundreds. I encouraged myself and told myself that I should be full of confidence and strength to do it. No matter win or lose, as an athlete, not giving up easily may be one of the most important spirits. From these two sports, I was aware the meaning of life. Just like jogging and skipping, we need to face every difficulty and persist in working hard so that we can enjoy our colorful life and feel the happiness of success. The meaning I can learn from playing basketball is different from that from jogging and skipping. Not only need to try our best, but to fight together as a team as well. We cooperated well with each other on the court. I learned that team spirit was the most important thing when we were playing. We passed the ball to our teammate not only because we trust each other but also we know that only if we played as a team could achieve the success. We could feel that we were not alone in the game. There was a famous brand word saying,” Team is five!”

Also, in our life, I learned that whatever I am facing, I must keep trying my best to achieve the success. When we meet the difficulty or struggle in our life, we must persist in our belief and fight to the last second until the success. From the basketball court, I learned the importance of team spirit. In the next term, even in my career, when I work with others to do the team work such as Happy Trash and Christmas Song, I must keep this meaning firmly in my mind. Only if we worked as a good team, our power can be united together in order to take the peak. After these 10 hours physical activities, I felt healthier than before, even my belly was much better. I could feel that I was becoming stronger and active in doing sport. That was what I want when starting exercising.

My personal fitness goals was to train my perseverance by jogging and I want to improve my ability of jumping by skipping so I could become more powerful in the basketball court. I could be better in dribbling the ball. Also, I wish skipping and playing basketball would help me become a little bit taller.

work in the neighborhood committee

On the afternoon of January 20th, I went to the neighborhood committee of the street with Sky. We helped them as volunteers. Also, on that day they would hold a conference with the disabled people. Our job was to help to arrange the meeting room, and help them clean it after the conference.

In the afternoon, we went to the street and found the chairman of the neighborhood committee. She took us to the meeting room and told us what we should do to prepare for the meeting. Then we started our job. We turned on the air condition to make the room warm and did some cleaning. After we finished, we went and stood at the gate of the neighborhood committee and told the people who came to the conference where the meeting room was. Because the people who took part in the conference were all the disabled people, they might have difficulty walking upstairs. We helped them go to the meeting room. During the conference, we gave people cups of tea and helped the staffs hand out the fruits that the neighborhood committee gave to the disabled people as presents. After the meeting, we swept and mopped the floor and also cleaned the table.

I learn a lot from this volunteer work. The neighborhood committee is a very basic unit of each street. It controls even very small things about our daily life. People from anywhere cannot live without it. In China, the committees offer a good place for elderly to chat or play mah-jongg, chess, poker or other communities with each other. They also organize lots of activities. It has a very close relationship with people. Also, they hold meetings with the disabled people. I find that if we work in the neighborhood committee, we must be very careful When we were preparing, we needed to work carefully enough that we could complete the requirements of the meeting room, such as turning on the air conditioner to make the room warm, asking the chairmen to know how many people would come to the meeting so that we could know how many chairs we needed. Also, we needed to pay attention to every detail. During the meeting, we would be helping people add more tea or water if they need, and also helping people get the worksheet.

Also, I think the spirits of the disabled people are worth learning for us. Although they are disabled, they still enjoyed their lives. During the meeting, they did not feel self-abased, instead they chatted with other happily. I think that working as a volunteer in the neighborhood committee trains us how to be responsible and careful to work in a social place. After this experience, from these disabled people, I have a lesson to know that it is very important to give out love to these people who are in need.

In addition, the neighborhood is such a very basic unit for the society. Therefore, it is a very meaningful chance for us to learn abilities to work for the society. The benefits we gave to them were that I could help them to do these trifling things and let them put more effort into the conference. We can let the disabled people feel that people are not far away from them. We look forward to getting more chances to serve them. It may make them feel the love of our young teenagers and we all have a hot heart. In addition, for the neighborhood committee, they do need us to help them hold this conference and do some cleaning as volunteers.
