My winter vacation in year 2007

Winter vacation is a best time for celebrating our most important Chinese New Year and doing something special for me. For instance, I joined the China Youth Corps, worked in the traditional market, and visited the Hakka culture.


First, this winter vacation, I joined the activities as a volunteer that was held by China Youth Corps as my short period part time job. I had to stay with children who was studying in elementary school, played games with them, and also tried to lead them. This experience led me to know, children are always energetic, childish, funny and pixie, just like a combination of Angel and Devil. Although it was tough to face the trouble-makers, there were also some sweeties in the teams. As a volunteer, I realized that to join these activities were not only for fun but also learned how to be responsible for yourself. I had learned a lot from it.


I also had another job in Chinese New Year. I gave my anti a hand to sell things in the traditional market. It becomes my routine every year. Every year during the Chinese New Year time, there might be lots of people buying things in the market, and that’s why I need to work in the market. My aunt sells the well-cooked chicken which is really delicious and famous, so every festival there are lots of customers waiting to buy her chicken. It was really busy in those days.


After the busy working days, my family and our relatives went to Hsin-chu together for a one-day trip and visited the Hakka culture, such as pounding mochi, grounding tea, and picking the struberries. Being with families makes me feel comfortable. Winter vacation is a good period for having fun with my family.


In this winter vacation I had many unforgettable memories of leading children, selling things in traditional market and staying with my family. I had great time with them and I do love this warm and peaceful atmosphere.
