"Fried chicken aunt" is Ring's nickname.Ring is my classmate who filled with energy.She is a outgoing girl,and easy to get along with.Yesterday was her birthday.In order to give her an unforgettable birthday,we had planned for it for several days ago.

we decided to play a trick on her.We cheated her that we would play volleyball at night.However,the things which waited for her were water balloons.When she discovered our plan,it's too late to run away.All of us get wet in a cold day.It sounds crazy,but I am sure that yesterday would become a beautiful memory.

Warm

I took a part-time job at my uncle's joss sticks and candles shop on this summer vacation.So far as Iam concerned,the job is a big challenge.At first,I always had a thought that I want to give up.Although my boss is my cousin,my elder sister,she treated me with sternness on work.I entered my dreamland with tiredness everyday.
Practise makes perfect.My performance on work became excellent gradually,and the affection between my cousin and I got deeper.Yesterday I received a phone call from my sister.She cared about my university life ,and said that she missed me.Though the weather was cold,my heart was warm.
