Well-known Athletes
I think Liu Xiang is one of the outstanding athletes in the world.
He was born in Shanghai, China. He is twenty-nine years old now. He is
famous for 110m hurdles. He started to learn hurdling at twelve years old
and he joined the Shanghai Athletics Team in 1999. He is sporty,
brilliant and energetic.
Liu Xiang got his first gold medal of hurdling at East Asian
Games and World University in 2001. He got 110m hurdles gold medal at
Asian Championships in 2002. Moreover, he got 110m hurdles gold
medal at Athens Olympics in 2004. Also, he was the top ten athletes of
China in 2003. In addition, he broke the world’s record in 2006. He
completed the race in 12.88 seconds.
However, Liu Xiang withdrew from Beijing and London Olympic
Games because of his foot injury. I think he is pitiful because he got hurt
again but he never gives up. ‘No pain, no gain.’ He is a young hero of
China.

My Journal Entry – A bad day
Friday, 10th May
Cloudy and Cool
Today was a bad day for me. First, I had a scary dream that made
me cry when I woke up at five o’clock in the morning. I was sleepy and I
wanted to sleep again. However, I drank some coffee, so I tried to sleep
hardly. When I was going to school, I wanted to buy food for breakfast
but I lost the money. It was fifty dollars! I really wanted to cry.
Then, I had a Chinese lesson at two o’clock in the afternoon. Miss
Lee said to me, ‘Your exam is bad. I think you don’t practise well for this
exam. So you need to copy this exam paper once!’ I was resentful about
this result because I had practised the exam very hardly.
Finally, I went back home in the evening. When I was doing my
homework, my mum came back. I told her that I was so hungry.
Unfortunately, my mother thought that I’m so fat. Therefore, she didn’t
let me eat food!
I hate this day so much. I hope tomorrow will be better. I’m blue
now.

My journal entry – An amazing day
Friday 18th May
Hot and Sunny
Today was an amazing day for me.
In the morning, my mother and father made me a birthday
breakfast, I ate them happily. I thought the breakfast was very delicious.
Then, they gave me a birthday card. The card was so beautiful!
At about one o’clock, they took me to the shopping centre. They
bought two wonderful gifts for me. I got a lot of beautiful clothes too.
In the evening, when I was reading books, my friends came and
join my birthday party. First, we sang songs and read books. Mum bought
a lot of food and cooked them very well. Then, we drew pictures and
drank some juice. In the end, they gave me the gifts and I chose the best
gift myself.
I feel satisfied but exhausted. I hope I will have another good
birthday party next time.
