#2) DauDau

After my dog Longlong decased, I felt very lonely. I couldn't live without dogs. I missed Longlong very much. My mum allowed me to have another dog, so I surf the Net to find a family who had puppies. 2 weeks later, DauDau came to be a member of my family. She is also a Yorkshine Terrier, which is as same as Longlong. We enjoy living with her everyday.

The first day, DauDau was very nervous. She followed me all the time. I thought that it was because I brought her to a new place. She was just 3 months old at that time. In the evening, my dad came back. When he saw DauDau, he was angry. It is because he has said that we could not have any pets after LongLong died. He thought I could not care the dog well, and made the place dirty. DauDau seemed to know that my dad was the host in this family. She went to my dad, and then sat next to him. We all shocked that she did not went to other people except me. My dad was not angry any more.He stroked DauDau, then played with her.

DauDau like to play with my dad more than like to play with me. Everytime, when I am playing with DauDau, my dad calls her, and she go to my dad immediately. I always give her some snacks, but after eating the snacks, she also run to my dad. However, when my dad is not at home, she is always be with me.

I like to play "hide and find" game with her. I always hide suddenly and call her name. Then, she gose to find me. It is so funny to see her looking for me. Sometimes she will be nervous that cannot find me, but when she find me, she will jump and be very thrilled. I am joyful to see her that. There is a thing that is interesting. After I have a bath and come out, she will run away quickly and hide under the computer desk. I don't know the reasons, but I think that she seems playing the game with me, and it is the turn she hide.

Night is the most active time in day of DauDau. She will become crazy everynight. She will have a running race herself. After that, she will bark to me and want me to play with her. If I do not show her, she will never stop barking. When I leave my desk, she will chase me.

Now, I miss her very much. Every time I see her though the internet, and call her name. When I see her looking for me after hearing my call, I whimper. I think that she miss me very much too.

#1) My first piano performance

When I was a child, I started to pracice piano. I was very nervous in every piano examinations, so I always refuse any performances. Three years ago, my piano teacher asked me to perform in a small concert. She said that it was a good chance before I had a Grade 8 examination, so I contsented. In this small concert, I played the piano in front of 150 audiences and 3 examiners from England.


Every morning, I waked up early to went to the music center at 7am to practice the songs before school. My piano teacher guided me how to express the feelings of the songs and nice gestures. Although it was painstaking, I still persisted to practice in every morning.At that time, I gave consideration to my school studies and the concert.

Once time, I was very tired and I felt a sleep in my lesson. I was punished by my teacher, and she tried to make me stop practice piano. She asked me that which one was more important, the A-level examination or the small concert. If I failed in the A-level examination, I could not go to university in Hong Kong. However, I still prepared for the small concert, and I promised to my teacher that I would study hard than before after the concert had finished. It was because it was a precious chance to perform in front of the examiner who were from the Trinity College of Music.

In the day of the small concert, I was very nervous. I went to the music center in the morning, and waited for the time. One minite before the performance, my brain could not think anythings. When I looked to the audiences, I was slightly inferior to forget how to play. In my performance, I made some mnistakes, but I still played the whole songs.

After the concert, I had a chance to meet the examiners. They said that I had talent but still need more practices in skills. I was cheerful. Later, I also passed my Grade 8 examination. I was delighted. My piano teacher was ecstatic because I had practiced the Grade 8 just for 6 months, so that she could use this to attrack more students to come. After the first time, I would like to have the second and third and fouth. It can train me not be nervous in every next times.
