Do you like Winter break ? I know I do ! If you do, then what do you look forward to during Winter break ? One thing I look forward to is sleeping in. I LOVE sleeping in. The reason I like sleeping in is because I get to be comfortable in bed and not all tired and sleepy when I come to school.
    Another thing that I look forward to is NO homework! I really do not like doing homework. I don't think very many people like doing homework either. Homework is not fun to do especially when you already get about 7 hours of school. Why do we need to waste our whole afternoon doing this when we could be active an playing outside. I think that homework isn't really necessary, but if we had to get homework, then just a little bit because we do have 8 classes which is a lot ! When we have 8 classes, everything piles up and it gets kind of hard to keep up with it because some homework takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to do. This is what I look foorward to during Winter break.

What do you think was the most important achievement the Japanese  borrowed from China ? Today I am going to tell you which two I think are the most important. The Japanese borrowed lots of things from China and Korea but the one I think is most important is language. I think language is most important because they use language to speak to each other.
  

As I pull weeds from a wheat field, I hear the sound of something like thunder. I look up and see hundreds-no, thousands-of armed horsemen riding straight at me. I am frozen with fear. The only thing that fills my mind is the dreaded Mongols are coming. What should I do to keep myself safe or save myself ?
        I hear the deafening sound of horses galloping. I try to run to my house but they are still there. I hear a horrible cry. I look to see who had screamed such a sound. I look around the corner to find my brother being killed. His last words were 'Run! The Mongols are here.' I think about running to him but as I think, I know I will get killed also. So I run back to my house to find not a soul there. I say my last words and run out to the Mongols.
      

     Do you know about the Chinese achievements ? The Chinese had many many achievements but I am only going to talk about the two that I think are most important. The first one is paper money. Without paper money the Chinese wouldn't really have anything to pay with. I think paper money is important because then we wouldn't have anything to pay with and we would probably be wearing belts with coin on them.
    The second achievement that I think is most important is china ( plates and cups ).
