A Happy Day in The USA

It was my first Veteran Day that I spent in the USA. Before it I don't know what The Veteran Day is. Anyway, I had a very happy Veteran Day in November 11th last year.

At that day, my classmates and friends asked me to go to ice-skating with them. But the problem is I don't know how to walk on the ice. Fortunately, my friends are good skaters, and they said that they can teach me. So I went with them by bus. When we reached the skating rink, I was surprised that the rink is very large and cold. Many people glided gracefully over the ice that make me want to start skating as soon as possible. I stood on the ice and tried to keep banlance to move. Everytime people passed by me very fast with wonderful posture. I really wanted to glid more fast and could feel the wind pass me. So I asked my friends to hold my hand and pull me very fast. That's amazing! I could feel that I was flying on the ice. I was very happy that I can skating so fast! I didn't have a rest, I just kept moving for 3 hours. And I fell down about 7 times because that my friend pulled me too fast to keep banlace. Even though I fell down so many times, I didn't give up. Everytime I fell down, I just stood up again, then keep moving. You could heard my happy laughing at that time. My friends were surprised that I could continue skating without rest. They asked me "Are you supergirl?".

When I back home, I was so excited about the experience of skating. In the next morning, I found my whole body was so painful. The pain was kept a few weeks, but I still very happy.

Two different childhoods

My Mom always said,"when I was a child,I... ...". And according to her words,I find a lot of differences between my childhood and my Mom's childhood.

First of all,when my Mom was a child,she was interested in music,for instance,piano,violin and guitar.But she couldn't learn to how to play them because her parents couldn't affort it.Although she really loves to play piano,and it was her dream,she couldn't make the dream come true.The difference is,when I was a child,whatever I wanted to learn,my Mom would surpport me.She didn't ask me if I like piano,but she bought it for me.In addition,the parents' minds are changed,they finally realize it's necessary to build up kids' interests and find their talents.

A second difference between the childhoods of my Mom and I is that, nowdays, we have TV and Internet.It's Information Technology time so the kids can get a lot of information and knowledge from TV and Internet.I played games with Robot Dog or with a friend who was in another country by internet.That was impossible in my Mom's childhood.I was staying at home,watching TV,and playing computer games all the time.But when she was a child,she didn't know a lot about the world.Of course she couldn't image how fun the computer games are.She just could fly kites with her little buddies.Running,laughing and watching the kites on the grass were the most interesting things she did.She hugged the natural mother,breathed the fresh air,enjoyed the golden sunshine.We are totally different.Sometimes,I admire my admire my Mom that she could play a lot of funny games that I've never heard of before.

In short,my childhood and my Mom's are different,but both of us still had a lot of fun.We both have a wonderful childhood in our life.
