Joe Jonas and Brenda Song's Dinner Date



Joe Jonas and Brenda Song are 2 teenager stars in the Disney Channel. According to this article, Joe, who wore a bright pink t-shirt under his black leather jacket during the outing, was seen making his way out of the sushi joint all alone and quickly heading to his parked vehicle. Once the middle of Jonas Brothers got into his ride, Brenda was videotaped making her way to his car.

In my opinion, hanging out or having a dinner between 2 friends is very usual. It's just because they are popular, so paparazzi always try to get information about their private lifes. I bet a lot of stars feel very annoyed about that.


representative (N): someone who is chosen to act, speak, vote etc. for someone else.
"A representative of a movie star officially confirmed the matter, telling reporters the truth about her. "

The Truth About Coffee


Well, I can see now is more and more people who like to have a cup of coffee every morning. But I'm still wondering if it's good or bad for our health? Last week, I read an article about "coffee", and today I want to share it with you:


The article helped you to answer some common questions about coffee. Is coffee good or bad for you? Is coffee dehydrating?... All of them depend on the dose, the amount that you take. But It's better for children to avoid it. Coffee does increase your blood pressure, but only for a few minutes. A lot of people think that coffe can help them to lose weight, but unfortunately, this doesnt work. The question "does coffee accelerate bone loss" is a little controversial. The writer suggested that If you're going to have a great deal of coffee, make sure you put some milk in your coffee.

controversial (adj): something that is controversial causes a lot of disagreement because many people have strong opinions about it.

My house in Seattle


Hi! How are you, everybody? Today I will tell you about my recent house in Seattle.
There are 3 connected houses in my host family. The first house is called The Loft, where my host family is living at. The second house is for boy students, called The Main, and I'm living in The Annex House. There are 5 people in my house. From the gate of the Annex, you can see a garden where has a lawn and plants a lot of beautiful flowers. As you enter the house, you can see the living room with a large TV, DVD and a suit of sofa, where my roommates and I always watch movies after school or a free time. In the back of the living room, there is a kitchen with a dining table and the large refrigerator which has a lot of my favourite food inside ^^, so I like that place most. There are 3 people in my house: 1 Chinese girl, 3 American girls and me, so my house also has 5 bedrooms. From the kitchen, when you turn left, you can see 3 bedrooms and a stair to go downstair where has a laundry and 2 remaining bedrooms. I live at the last room which is next to a bathroom. My room is always complicated, but It is the most place where I want to go back after school. From the window of my room, you can see the large garden where my host family grows some vegetables for our meal. Therefore, I like diner time, because we always have fresh vegetables and delicious food, which my host family prepares for us.
I love this house, my host family and my roommates also. They are very nice, and they've helped me a lot since I came to Seattle to get used to with this life here. I feel very comfortable and enjoy to live here.

Fitness


I've read the article about fitness. I think that's very helpful for Add Imageeverybody, so today I just want to share it. I'm sorry, but I lost that magazine. But that article is about fitness and health.
Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. All kinds of sports can gain eny health benefits and help your heart, such as swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, aerobic dancing, walking, etc. Adults ages 18-65 should workout at least 30 minutes of 5 days of a week. Of course It also depends on each other's health, so everyone can choose suitable and moderate activities for themselves.
However, In my opinion, we all should get that exercises become our daily habits like washing face or brushing teeth...
moderate: neither very big nor very small, very hot nor very cold, very fast nor very slow....

My last weekend...


I had a great weekend with my friends. That was last Saturday. We decided to go fishing instead of some boring things like staying at home and watching TV. I dont remember the name of that place, but It took about 45 minutes to 1 hour to get there by car. That was the moderate lake, and there were a lot of people got there with their family. They were very nice. They helped us to find out worms, and they also pointed the place that had lots of fish for us. Actually, I dont like fishing. I think It's so boring, because I just have to stand and wait, so I'd prefer some activities more active. But I really had a lovely time. While some of my friends were fishing, others and I went around there sightseeing. We took a lot of beautiful and funny picture. It was so fun. After that, we caught about 7-8 fish, and we had grilled fish with Vietnamese style right there. After that, we went to super market to buy some furniture, because one of my friends just moved to a new apartment. We went to her new apartment and helped her to organize all of that. We also rented some DVD, bought popcorn, and watched that together. We talked to each other everything, from studying to family, love, life, etc. We didnt realize when we went to sleep either.
What do you think? A lovely weekend, wasnt it?
