 Q: Describe someone in your book that you would like to meet. List 4 questions that you would ask the character and what you think their answer would be.A: I would like to ask Bridget 4 questions: 1. How was your feeling about your mom's death? Why you acted just like nothing happened at your mom's funeral? 2. How is your feeling when you see other three of your friends with their mother? 3. How is the relationship between you and Eric now? Do you miss him? 4. What's your feeling about this summer without your best friends?
I thought Bridget's answer would be:
1. Of course I will feel so much sorry and sad about my mom's death, everyone does. But I don't want to show everyone that I can't live without my mom, and started to pity on me. I don't want the things like that happen. But that doesn't mean I have no feeling about my mom's death.
2. I really don't feel good when I saw Lena, Tibby and Carmen with their moms. But I really happy about they got moms. And because their moms and my mom are friends, their moms also take good care of me. Thanks them a lot. 3. Eric and I are good friends now, he went back to Columbia, and we still keep in touch now. I have to say that I really miss him. 4. At first, I thought I will be lonely and miss them. But when I saw Eric, I forgot everything. But finally, when that thing happened, I were very helpless, and I wanted to see them so much. Finally I found out that the friendship is more important than love.
 Q: Describe your least favorite character and explain why. Describe your most favorite character and explain why.
A: In this story, my least favorite character is Carmen. Because I thought she got bad temperament. Because when she found out that her dad will get married and have a new family, she was always angry to her step-mother, even scream at her. And when Tibby went to her home to listen to her saying about those things, just because Tibby said something which is not fit her mind, she screamed at Tibby, and say the word like 'You are not me, how can you know that feeling?!' So I don't like her in this story. And the character which I like most is Bridget. Because I thought she is a brave, tough girl with her own personality. Her mom died several years ago, during her mom's funeral, when she faced to her friends, she acted like nothing happened, but when she went back home alone, she started to cry. She never showed her flabby side to her friends, and just to be flabby when she was alone. In another hand, she has distinct personality. She found out that she felling in love with Eric, so she started to chase Eric bravely. It's hard to chase a boy for a girl. But Bridget did that!
 I know you guys will get a little confused about this title, and think 'Why you use this title? They are ambivalent'. But I will tell you that actually they're not ambivalent. Because I will say each of them to different person.
First, I want to say 'Happy birthday' to William, my friend. Today is William's birthday. And his birthday party have held tonight. At first, I said I will go to that. But in the afternoon, I got a fever. And my mom didn't let me go out for attending William's birthday party. TAT I want to say sorry to William, because I promise to attend his birthday party, and even have bought the birthday present for him. But finally I haven't went to that. Sorry~
Second, I want to say 'Goodbye' to Aden. Because he will go to America tomorrow, and will not come back until this Christmas. TAT We have studying in SUIS together for 1 year. And I felt a little grieved about this. I hope he will have good time there and have many new friends. : ) And also, don't forget us, the classmates in US High School!!
 Today is August 13th now, and we will go to school in August 28th, and it only left 15 days from today, almost two weeks. And this year's new semester begins earlier than usual. And I just got this information from Tina yesterday. So I need to do more preparation for the new semester now, and pay close attention to my summer holiday homework. TAT Yesterday we celebrated Tina's birthday together. But yesterday was not Tina's real birthday, her birthday is August 21st. But she will go to Guiling at that time, so we can't celebrate at that time. And another friend of mine--William Wang' birthday is in August 15th, the day after tomorrow. I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both of them!!! They are all my good friends. : ) I found a VERY SERIOUS problem these days!!! OMG!!! And that problem is that after I came back to Shanghai, I found out that my skin became darker!!! Because the sunlight and ultraviolet in Inner Mongolia is stronger than in Shanghai, and my skin became darker. T T I hope that my skin will returns to normal quick
 Q: Think of a problem that a character had to face. Write the problem and how the character solved it or is working to solve it. If you were that character, what would you do differently?
A: One of the characters in this story is Carmen. And the problem she faced is that her parents had divorced several years ago. But in this summer, when she went to her dad's home and want to spent the whole summer with her dad, she found out that her dad will get married with another woman and get a new family soon. Carmen was very upset and angry about this. She was not pleased about her step-mother, and her new 'siblings'. She showed her angry to her father and his new family. And finally went back to her mother's home. I thought the way which she solved this problem is not good. Because her parents were apart so many years, her dad can have a new family. That's Okay! For me, I also got the same problem with Carmen, my dad has a new family now. But I thought it's okay, even great. I got a new sister now. And she is very cute. And we all love her. I lived in my dad's home during the school days, and go back to my mom's home during the weekend and holiday. I thought my life now is very happy and comfortable. If I'm Carmen, maybe I will show my feelings to my dad and my new family and try to accept them. Cuz from the book, I know that Carmen's step-mother is a good woman. Although I don't want to live with them together, I still can live with my mom, and I can visit them during the holidays. I thought it's a great way to solve this problem. Don't you think so?
 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!
 You guys must all know that my favorite idol is Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul from 2PM. And at the beginning of this summer, I got an exciting news! Nichkhun will act in a Chinese TV series!!!
This is the first time for Nichkhun to act in a TV series, and especially a Chinese one. Because he is a American Thai, and studied in U.S before.
In this TV series, he will act as a American Chinese. And I thought this character is very fit for him. Because although he is a American Thai, his mom is a Thai Chinese, and his dad is half Chinese and half Thai. But because his mom went to Thai in her childhood, she doesn't know much about China, so do Nichkhun. But he is still 3/4 Chinese! And he studied in America before he became a idol in Korea, so his English is good too. So from all these reasons, I thought this character is very fit him, I thought the director also think so, so he let Nichkhun to be this character.
And we can see this TV series next summer, I'm looking forward to that!!!
 Today we'll go back to Shanghai. I'm a little sad now. T T I don't want to go back to Shanghai! Shanghai is now about 40℃!!!!! But here is just about 20℃. Today we drove from Tianjing back to Shanghai. And the most interesting thing is that we drove at the same place for about 3 hours!!!... The reason why we did that is all because of the GPS!!! OMG!!! At first, we drove along the path which the GPS let us go, but finally we found out this expressway is been reparatived, and we can't go through this way. But our GPS haven't be updated, so it doesn't know the way we need to go. But finally we found the right way by ourselves. Finally we got home in 4:00, August 6th. I was sosososo tired! T T And tomorrow I have to do my summer holiday assignment! TAT I left many Math problems before I went to Inner Mongolia, so I have to do a lot of problems from tommorrow.
 Q: How is the story similar to or different from the experiences in your own life?
A: I thought this story is both similar to and also different from my own life. Because I thought the characters are very similar to my life. I got three close friends in my real life, Susan, Tins, and Victoria. And there are also four girls which are friends in this story. And in the story, they shared smiles together, they miss each other together, they argued and played trick on each other together etc.. So I thought this part is very similar to my own daily life.
Also there are some parts which are different from my life. For example, we won't spend the whole summer together. Because we lived far away from each other, and we will go to somewhere for traveling. So we can't have the same time for free. And another part is that they have the traveling pants, and we don't have. (Of course we can't, right? It's just a fiction story) But we will chat on QQ or Weixin to show our miss to others.
 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.
