Have Dinner With Grade 12 Mentors

I went to an Italian restaurant on Dec.27.with Grade 12 student who are Jessica, East and Shirley. I attended at 6:45 p.m. The name of the restaurant is ‘my place’. We chose this restaurant because the flavor of the courses is traditional flavor of Italian food.Firstly, I order a set of steak dinner,then the waiter took before dinner bread. I ate vegetable salad. The salad is delicious because the vegetable is fresh. Then I ate spaghetti with cheese, mushrooms and onion. At last I had my main course-the steak with fried chips.I like the Italian food. The Italian food is quite different from Chinese food. Firstly, we use chopsticks and bowls to eat in Chinese food .However, forks and knives are common in western food. Secondly, the cooking manner of Chinese food and Italian food is different. Most Chinese food is scrambled. Most Italian food is boiled and roasted. Thirdly the dinner table is different .Chinese dinner table is always circle. Italian dinner table is rectangle.
It is a place where good friends get together to have some delicious food and relax.
There many foreign people in the restaurant .They talked when they had delicious dinner. The environment of the restaurant is very nice and relaxing. The restaurant is a house which locates in Hunan Road. There is a small garden in the front of the house. The atmosphere is relaxing and free. It is a quiet place which hides in the shops, restaurants and skyscrapers. The service of the restaurant is good. The waiters and waitresses are friendly and provide good service. The owner of the restaurant is also very friendly.
I will recommend other people to eat there because the flavor of food and the environment are both excellent.

Go an exhibition about sculpture with Ms. Hadley

Iwent to an exhibition with Ms.Hadley .The exhibits are all about sculpture that were made of Chinese artist. The artist’s name is Wu Weishan. He represents Chinese culture by describing Chinese historic famous people.The title of the exhibition is ‘Wu Weishan Culture Figure Sculpture Gallery’. The artworks are shown about sculpture. The artwork is contemporary.The artwork Ru Zi Niu (the cow) impressed me. It is a big sculpture. The subject of the artwork is the cow. It is a crow who raises his head and looks forward. It kneels its legs. It is a free work and it is dark blue .The surface of it is course and rough. It is made of bronze.I feel confused about the work. The cow is very thin .But it raises its head and it looks firm. It seems like it does not surrender. It makes me think about a person who is very strong even though he just has poor power. I think it also represents facing the difficulties and working them out even in a bad situation. It makes me think about my experience.
I went climbing Zijing Mountain with my father. We climbed at the middle of the mountain. I was tired and the mountain became steeper and steeper. I didn’t want to go higher. I wanted to give up,At that time, my father encouraged me .finally, I continued climbing and got to the top of the mountain. It makes me think about another example that we learnt in social studies.
In rebellion 1837.Even the rebels in Upper Canada and Lower Canada didn’t have many weapons and they had no experience. However, for their freedom, they fought for their democracy. They are brave. I think the artist intention is to show the spirit of dedication. The cow is just like the teachers. The cow is thin but it is strong. Its inside is empty, just like a teacher, giving their student everything! The cow kneels to represent generations. Normally, the cow kneels for child cowherd to climb on. The cow raises its head and looks forward to represent new hopes, new dedications.I do like this artwork. Though the artwork is simple and just like a symbol. I think it has many meanings. Its lines and shapes are very simple and free. The rough surface, simple lines, active shape make me feel the cow is strong. It seems to give me power. It just uses several simple lines to describe, such as raising head, kneeling but make the work totally represent the idea. I think other people might appreciate the artwork. I think it is simple, it represents the idea straightforwardly .its shapes, lines are really beautiful and strong. The idea of the work is simple, everyone has given and got, grateful and thanks are in anywhere in the world.I enjoyed this exhibition. This exhibition let me learnt a lot about art. I saw a lot of sculpture. They are amazing. I felt exiting about the exhibition. I saw a lot what I never seen.
