    It was Sunday yesterday. Michael sat on the sofa and watched TV. He was very relaxed. His mother was doing the dishes. Suddenly, she felt terrible. She had to stop. Michael came to his mother and asked, "Are you all right, Mom?" "Yes. I'm OK, but I need to take a rest," said his mother.

    Michael felt sorry for his mother. He thought he should help his mother do the dishes. She felt terrible because she was too tired. So he did the dishes and cleaned the room when his mother was lying in bed. Michael felt happy because the room looked clean.

    When Michael's mother felt better, she went to do the dishes. But she was surprised to see the clean room. "You are really a great boy," she said happily. Michael was happy, too.

    Today is July 6. It's the second day of our trip. We plan to visit the Great Wall. There area lot of people along the way. I feel a little tired, but I'm happy! While we are climbing the mountain, I talk about my future (将来的) job with my parents. What do I want to be? Ha! Maybe a teacher or a singer.

    My parents are visiting their old friend, a famous writer, at her place. I am having lunch with Bob and watching a show in Deyunshe. The food isn't so delicious but the show ... Well, it's so humorous and interesting. I really like it.
