Food in Wulingyuan The food in China is very
different from America. Although the hamburger is

staple. We like it and eat it every day. We also
eat vegetables, meat and fruit.

Do you know about moon cakes? We eat them during
the Mid-autumn Festival. The Spring Festival is
also very important, like Christmas in America.
But the food is a little different. We often eat
bacon, tofu, meat and the fish from Wulingyuan.
Its a big festival. Our families get together
and have a big dinner. On that day, all of us
feel very happy, like you do on Christmas day.

Pastimes Students here at Wulingyuan like
playing games or sports. We also play computer
games, such as Starcraft and Warcraft from
Blizzard. But we only have one day to play them
(Sunday). How about you? And at school, we study
hard. We have fourteen classes in one day. That
makes us feel bored. In our free time, we play
football (soccer), basketball and many others.
Boys usually watch NBA Live on TV. The basketball
players are wonderful. Iverson, ONeil, Koby and
Kidd are famous to us. We all like the Rockets
because Yao Ming is on this team. The new season
has begun. We think it will be very exciting.
Our teacher told us that she will show your
photo to us. We are all anticipating that.

Wild Animals There are many kinds of wild
animals in Wulingyuan, such as monkeys, wolves,
tigers, golden pheasants, pangolins and
hedgehogs. The golden pheasant has beautiful
feathers. It looks like a green peafowl. The
color of its feathers are yellow, red, green,
blue and brown. Its tail is very long. It lives
in the mountains. There are many different kinds
of snakes here. Some kinds of snakes are
poisonous. For example, if a person is bitten by
a long-noded pit viper, that person will probably
die. But it has a great value in
medicine. Monkeys are very interesting. In the
autumn, they leave the mountains and go to some
villages to look for food. They get on well with

river. Our school was built in 1989. In the past,
our school was very poor, so very few students
studied here. But now, it has changed a great
deal. How beautiful it is now!
