1.What does fair mean to you?

Fair means everyone is treated equally. For example, in American history, people were treated unfairly because only white men who owned property were allowed to vote. So, women and African Americans couldn’t vote. Another example in America history is when black people were slaves to white people, only because of their skin color. But now this unfair treatment has changed, because everyone who is an American citizen can vote and black people are no longer slaves.

2.What are some situations that are fair in school?

-Unlike the unfair bus system that segregated the whites students and the black students, our school bus system is open for everyone to ride.

- Everyone in our school is graded under the same system of 1 ~ 4, with 4 being the highest and 1 being the lowest remark.

- The teachers treats the boys and the girls in the same way. If they are bad, they get in trouble regardless of whether they are boys or girls.

3.What are some situations that are not fair in school or at home?

- Many times when the students are put in groups to create a project, usually one person does more work than others who play around. This is unfair because everyone in the group gets the same grade.

- At home, my older brother gets more allowance than me even though I try harder and get better grades at school.

- Sometimes when a couple of students are goofing around, only one student gets caught. That student is the only one who gets in trouble even though there are other people involved in the same act.

- It is also unfair that the younger students get to eat lunch first while the older students must wait before eating.

 My Ski Trip on Christmas

Date: 2009/12/25

On Christmas day I went to ski reort with my family. It took lng time to get to the ski resort because mostly ski resorts are far away from the city.

When we arrived to the ski resort, I had a ski lesson, that I was not good at it.

 After lunch, my brother learned how to snowboard and I was able to ski on the slope. My brother and my problem was that we couldn’t get up by ourselves. I needed to take off the ski and wear it aganin and again.

 At the ski resort, I met my dad’s office clerks and other relationships. They were all good at skiing and snow boardning.

 Later, When we finished skiing and snow boarding, my dad became addicted in skiing so my mom said let’s go to ski resort again but my brother promised he won’t snow board again.  It was best Christmas ever.

My Second Ski Trip

Date: 2009/12/27

 On December 27th, my family and I went on Second Ski Trip. The ski resort was closer to our home and there were more different level of slopes than before.

 My family seperated in half and promised to meet in front of the gate of the resort at 4:30P.M.

There were 5 different level slopes. There were Bunny Slope, Beginner, Intermedia, Diamond, and Double Diamond. First, I skiied at the Bunny Slope for couple of times then I mostly skiied on the Beinner Slope. Beginner slope was almost the 5 times the size of the Bunny slope. So I kept falling down so the park staff came to me and found my skies and sticks. Also the park staff even helped me to get up.

 My dad told me I couldn’t control the speed by myself and that is why I was kept falling down.

 And my mom told me she saw me skiing on the Beginner slope and that I was the smallest person who went straight much faster that others.

 I hope next time when I am skiing I could control my speed by myself.

My Last Ski Trip

Date: 2010/01/01

 On New Year’s day, my family and I went on our most recent ski trip. I had missed skiing. Now, I need to wait until the end of the year to go again.

 Now my brother is better than me at skiing. I believe that because my brother is enormous, he is better than me without using goggles and any fur hat or or mufflers. I still couldn’t control my speed by myself.

 So that problem led to trouble. I was skiing very fast on the slope. And I turned right, but I turned too right so I collided againest the fence. My left arm collided too hard so the tears came out from my eyes.

 So the park staff came to me to help me stand up and found my skiis, ski sticks, goggles, and my fur hat. But he and I couldn’t find my let hand glove. So I just walked down the slope.

 Couple minutes later, my parents and my brother came to me. My dad and my brother told me that they waited for me very long time but I didn’t come down the slope. Then my dad told mebers the park staff to find my gloves. Three park staff members went up the slope where I fell down and searched for my glove. Then a few minutes later they came down and told my dad that my glove is over the slope’s fences. My family wondered how my glove went over the fences.

 The other side of the fence is where the highest level slopes’ cable cars travel over sky. So my dad asked the staff again to get my glove one of the cable cars staff got my glove.

 My family stopped skiing after I had the accident. My arm was very painful that I couldn’t hold the skiis and the ski sticks. So after when I rid the escalator, I slowly walked with the skies and the ski ticks. Then another accident happened.

 I heard an old man  shout “Get Back!” so I turned ack then the man and I collided in front of the escalator. So we fell down. But the problem was the man had 3 cups of coffee so the floor was full of hot coffee.

 The coffee also spilled on the man and my clothes and my skiis. So the staff came here to clean the coffee. Suddenly my dad called me so I ran as fast as I can. I was nervous about the old man, and my arm hurt more so my mom and I went to the hospital hat was in the resort.

 The doctor said my arm will get better and gave me a cream that is for bruises.

 We left the ski resort early because of me. Next time I need to practice skills more.
