Using the Computer

I use the computer every night. I like to listen music so I do download some music and listen. Sometimes I make CD by my computer. I like to see 'Facebook'. There is a lot of my American friends and I like to see their some pictures. I usually type little fast because I started to use when I was 11 year old. Using computers is kind of difficult to me but really useful. If we don't have computer, we can't get a good life. In some Internet site, there are not good information to children. So I don't like the point of computer. However I really like to use computer.(114/3323words)

This is My Best Treasure


I was thinking about what I have treasure. I can't tell what is the most important to me because some things are really neat. However, I'll tell you just one thing, my treasure.
I have been to the U.S.A. when I was a high school student and I went to Clarinda High School, Iowa, as an exchange student for 10 months. I was worried about making friends in C.H.S. because I was very shy, coward, and retiring girl in Iowa and I couldn't understand what people speaking to me first time. Then some days spent and I got a lot of friends in C.H.S. and they were very kind to me. Then in Home Coming Week, which is an event of America, we have a day, scrawl day, and we could sign on our T-shirt. I didn't want to go to school that day because I though nobody gave to me the sign on my T-shirt. However, many friends wrote their names on mine and it made me so happy. Addition, some people asked me for giving my sign on their T-shits. Who did image that people be want to get my sign? I was glad that friends were interested at me and think that want to be friends with me.
I spend wonderful time at Clarinda, and my treasure is the signed T-shirt. It is on the wall in my room and next that there is a picture of my lovely softball team with their sign. When I see the two signed thing, it made me happy. I will not forget about them forever and I'll meet them again!!.(284/1928words)
