  Nowadays, K-pop is very popular among the teenagers, even the people who are working. At first, I didn't like K-pop, I like the music in America or Europe, but with I started to contact more Korean songs, I started liking K-pop bit by bit.
  Now, I even can say I'm a expert in K-pop at least among the Chinese. I knew all the groups and in Korea basically and know about 20 solo singers. And I know well about 15 groups. I know well about each member of them, and what are their famous songs. 
  And my favorite male groups is 2PM!!! They debuted at 2008, and at that time they were all teenagers. And now they're adults now. To be a idol in Korea is not so easy like we think. I have seen a reality show about a female group in Korea which called Apink. Before they debuted, when they were only a trainee, they have to train for over 10 hours each day, and they still had to go to school. So they just can train after they came back from school. They always trained until the midnight. When their classmates were sleeping, they were still training. And for the diet, for keeping them slim, their entertainment company just let them have broccoli, cherry tomato for meals.

  And my favorite female group is Sistar. It is made of 4 girls. And they debuted in 2010. At first, there was not many people like them, there are even some negative comments about them. But they just work harder to prove themselves. Finally, in last year, they relied on the new mini album, get more fans!!!
  I know that there also are many people which don't like K-pop. But if you don't like them, please don't hurt them at all. Besides being a idol, they're still a normal person at all. Some of them are even at the same age as us. If somebody don't like you, and say something about you, when you hear that, will you be sad or upset?! So although you don't like them, just don't listen to their songs or watch their Music Video, but not saying bad words to them, please!!!
  And all the K-pop stars which I know, they're all very studious and insistent. If after debuting, they just stop working hard and learn more, there won't so much people who love them. So just look at the negative side, please look at their advantages!

  Last year, our family welcomed a new member, she is a Golden Retriever puppy. And we gave her a name--Socks.
  Socks was three-month-old when she went to our home. And she was sososo cute at that time. At first, my grandma wasn't pleased and happy with her. Because my grandma thought she is a trouble maker, and will make our home into a mess. And at that time, she acted like to show my grandma how obedient she is, she always sit in her cage, and maybe she got little scared about this new environment, so she seldom barked.
  At that time, building the reliance and friendship with her and us is the most important thing.

  Socks is 11 months old now, and September 18th is her birthday. She will be one-year-old one month later!!! And we will give birthday gifts and celebrate her birthday together. 
  And during these 9 months, I found out building the relationship with her is not so different. At her first several month in our home, we always played with her. And she became opener and trust us more. So she started barking at us to show her happiness. And when we fed her, she would be exciting and  too impatient to wait. But when we went to school or go to work, she will be sad and have no interest on anything. She would lay on the floor and close to the door. If there are any noise, she will stand up and look around. But when we came back, she always show her smile to us. 
  Sometimes, she also will make some trouble, like pee pee in wrong place or had slippers in her mouth. At that time, my cousin will hold her mouth and say 'NO' loudly to her. Sometimes she will get a little afraid, but she also will do that again. After more times, she will know the things she did was wrong, and know not to do that thing again.
  Now, my grandma loves her very much, she always will gave Socks something to eat, and when we not at home, she will look after her. And Socks also like my grandma very much, cuz she know tha if my grandma appeared, she will have something to eat. Kekeke...
  So I thought building the relationship between dogs and human is very easy, if you being kind to them, and love them, they will show their love and trust on you too.

  In this summer, I have already made lots of new friends. But I thought the friend which really made me happy is a Samoyed Puppy. And we don't know what her name is, and we saw that there is a Baozi (A kind of Chinese food) in her food bowl. So I gave her a name--Baozi.
  Actually I was a little afraid of dogs before, especially the large dogs. Because they always rush at people, especially the dog which my cousin feeds. She always rushed at when I get in my cousin's house. But Baozi is not like those dogs, she is very soft, and always smile at me ^_^
  Baozi is a girl Samoyed Puppy. And I thought she id just about 10 months old. She is fed by the Border sentries in the Border between Russia and China at Heilong River. And because the sentries need working dogs, like German Shepherd Dogs, Border Collies. And Samoyed Dogs are useless for them. So they just feed her like a pet. 

  And we saw a scene like this--The sentries are training a German Shepherd Dog, and Baozi is tied on a tree by a rope. Then Baozi saw the German Shepherd Dog is been trained, and she started to bark at them, and even want to run towards them. But the rope let her can't run away. But the sentries didn't mentioned that. And I knew what Baozi thought. She just wants to play with the sentries! But because Baozi is useless for safeguard the border, they don't need to train her. But Baozi doesn't know so much, she just think they're playing. And she also wants to play with them. At that time, I thought  Baozi is a poor girl. But I also understood the sentries. So my cousin and I playing with Baozi whole afternoon. And I thought Baozi likes us very much!! : )
  We can't played with Baozi everyday, because we have to go back Shanghai. But I hope the sentries can play with Baozi more. And if we can go back there, if Baozi is still there, we can still play with this little lovely, naughty girl. >3<

  At the frist time I saw this title, I got a little confused, 'Describe a place that's really important to you' I don't know to choose which place. But just after a few seconds, I found out -- the most important place to me is my home.
  There is an ancient Chinese saying said ' Your own house is better than any golden house and silver house.' That means however other people's house are, and however your own house are,it's still the best in your mind. because that is your home. 

  As an Chinese, I got the same thinking as my ancestry. In Chinese's mind, HOME is always a important place to everyone. So we got festivals like Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, and Yuanxiao Festival etc. to let the whole family come back home together. And the people who was working or studying in other place always will miss their home.

  For me, as a teenager, although I haven't left from my home and my parents for long time, I still think home is a important place. Two years ago, during the summer vocation, I went to U.S for summer camp. At first, I didn't miss my home at all. But when I got trouble during the summer camp, I thought about my home. I remembered that somebody said 'People will always miss their home when they got trouble.' I thought that is correct. At every time which I got in trouble, the first thing jumped into my mind is my home, and my parents. I don't know the reason, but I thought it's the reason why I think the most important place to me is my home.

  Three years later, I will go to U.S for studying. And I thought at that time, I will miss my home more than now. And the most important thing for every holiday must be go back home. Maybe at that time, 'HOME' is not only the house which we lived, but also Shanghai -- the city which we lived in, even China, our motherland.

    For the teenagers, there are many new things for them, and so do us. So we have to keep trying to do different kinds of things which we never had. 
    For me, the 'something new' for me, is I will go to Inner Mongolia by car with my uncle, aunt and my cousin. It's my first time to travel to a place which is so far from Shanghai by car!!! The distance between Shanghai and Hohhot, which a place in Inner Mongolia, is about 1,500 km!!! At first, when I heard we will go to Inner Mongolia this summer, I thought of course we will take plane to there. But finally I figured out that we will go to there by car! I asked my uncle: Are you kidding me? But I knew that it's the truth...
   And it's even not finished yet!!! We will drive from Inner Mongolia to Qingdao when we finishing traveling in Inner Mongolia, and meet my father and my grandparents there. But they will take plane to there from Shanghai. And my uncle, aunt, cousin and I will go to there by car!!! I almost want to cry!! T T
  In the past, every time we went to a place for traveling or other aim, we always take plane, or train. And we always ordered hotels before we went to there. But this time, we haven't ordered any hotels, and we will go to there for about 10 days. Because we traveling by car, and we don't know which day we will in which place, so we will go to the hotels that day. That makes me feel insecure... I hope we will spend those time happily and safely... And you guys can pray for me during those days, hoping we can go back to Shanghai with healthy, WHOLE body... T T

    But although I'm very afraid of this trip, and my mom said I can chose to don't go with them and take the plane with my dad to Qingdao. But I still chose to go with my cousin. Because after thinking over, I thought it's a new thing for me. And also a new and distinctive experience for myself. And when I think of this journey, I will remember it better than other journeys. So I finally chose to try something new. : )
    Maybe the something new has some unstable elements, or maybe it's a little dangerous, you still have to try it. If you don't even have tried one time, maybe you will regret after that in a long time. Or maybe other people tried, but you are afraid of that, so you don't want to have a try, and after other people done that thing, and told you how interesting that thing is. And now you wanna have a try, but maybe there only has one chance to that, and you lost that good experience. 
    So don't be afraid, to try something new!!! After the first try, you will find something which you never experienced, and you can try more times after that. : )
