My most prized possession is und

oubtedly my piano. I learned to play the piano when I was

very young because my parents saw in the newspaper that exercising of fingers is beneficial

to the devel

opment of the brain. Till today, my piano has accompanied me for almost 15 years.

When I’m overwhelmed by the stress and pressure from study, I always turn to my piano to

obtain some relaxation. The moment my fingers gently touching the keys, beautiful mel

I cherish my piano just like I treasure a friend who can soothe my pain and uneasiness. It’ll

The

symbolic

building

in

Harbin

is

the

Dragon

Tower

which

is

famous

for

its

height,

its

magnificence (prominence) and its facilities.

Dragon Tower stands in the devel

oping district in Harbin. It is the highest steel tower in Asia,

and this trait makes it stands out from all other similar architectures. Dragon tower is the best

place to have a bird’s

-eye view of Harbin. In a sunny day, it is really an enjoyment to overlook

the impressive landscape in Songhua River and the Sun Island.

The

An ideal place to go

I’ve been dreaming of the city of shanghai since I was a little girl. ‘One day l will go to work

and live there’, I talk to myself several times. Firstly, the prosperity of this modern city attracts

me

a

lot.

It

not

only

represents

the

frontiers

of

economic

and

science

in

the

country,

but

provides the highest standard of living as well. The opportunities and challenges will make me

strong and brave. I have the confid

ence to become a success. Besides, shanghai is a junction of

cultures

all

over

the

world.

The

multiplicity

of

custom

and

lifestyl

e

gains

the

city

so

much

appeal.

People

from

different

countries,

speaking

different

languages

are

all

around.

I

can’t

imagine how wonderful I may feel whil

e cooperating with them and I can’t wait to become

their friend.

Impressive holiday:

Personally

speaking,

the

most

impressive

cel

ebration

is

the

traditional

Spring

Festival

in

China.

Firstly,

Spring

Festival

is

a

special

time

for

family

reunion. In

the

spring

festival,

all

family

members get together and celebrate the advent of a new year. Usually, there is a grand dinner,

and we taste the traditional food dumplings and share the happiness with family. After dinner,

there is beautiful and gorgeous firework, everyone is having fun together.

Besides, spring festival is valuabl

e for the working people and students who attend universities

faraway from their home. During spring festival, they can relax and regain energy for another

year’s diligence.

That’s why spring festival is significant for every Chinese person.

What should students do in spare time/ vocation:

Personally

speaking,

I

think

it

is

important

for

stud

ents

to

do

some

thing

meaningful

and

interesting in their spare time to enrich their lives.

Firstly, doing some volunteer work in the community is a very good choice, because it would

not only improve the interpersonal skills but also increase social responsibility.

Besides, travelling is beneficial to stud

ents in that it helps stud

ents learn more about different

cultures and broad

en their horizon. Moreover, travelling would bring about relaxation so that

one can gain energy for the foll

owing work and study.

In addition, students can d

evelop some personal hobbies in the spare time, such as playing the

piano, painting and reading, which woul

d make their lives colorful.

My spare time/ how to relax myself:

In my spare time, I have several methods to relax myself.

Firstly, I enjoy playing the piano in my spare time, especially when I’m overwhelmed by the

pressure and stress, I always turn to my piano. The moment my fingers gently touching the

keys and beautiful melody fl

owing in the air, I feel like in the paradise, and all the upset is

disappeared.

Besides,

sometimes

I

hang

out

with

some

friends

and

talk

with

them

or

have

some

entertainment together such as watching movies or singing in a KTV and so on. Staying with

friends brings me relaxation and comfortableness.

In ad

dition, playing badminton is one of my favorite activities in spare time. By d

oing sports, I

can not only relax myself but also keep fit.

Id

ol person

Talking about my idol, I’d like to say it is Mari

ah Carey. There is no doubt that she is a very

tal

ented singer, and she has been my favorite singer for a long period of time. Ever since I was

a teenage girl, I couldn’t fall asleep unl

ess I heard one of her songs. Her music inspires me a lot,
