I have visited a lot of places of interest.For example,The tanzhe temple,The grave of Princess and The moon altar.All of these place are very beautiful.My favourite place is the tanzhe temple.It was the earlist temple in beijing.It was built even when there's no beijing.
I went shopping this week.I went to Jinyuan Shoppingmall.It is the biggest shoppingmall in asia.I saw a lot of things that I wanted to buy but I didn't.Why?Because I didn't have enough money.

Literary Essay
It is known to all that there are two kind of people,not man and woman,but coward and hero. Most of people want to be a hero,so people should know the most important quality is to be brave. In both "Sir Gawain and The Green Knight" and "The Sniper",the main characters show us how brave they are and how they could be a hero in one's mind.
In the story "Sir Gawain and The Green Knight", Sir Gawain is the bravest character who show us his bravery and kept a promise. He wasn't afraid of Green Knight and he protected King Arthur. As an example,"Sir Gawain smiled"after the Green Knight told him what he should do a year later. Sir Gawain thought that day would never come, that shows how confident he was. Sir Gawain also should be brave to show his calmness. He didn't feel scared but smiled instead. Everyone would know how dangerous the situation he was asked to do. Sir Gawain promised seemed nothing would happen. Sir Gawain was brave enough to be a knight. For this reason,he might be the bravest knight. Sir Gawain also kept the promise until the end. No matter what happened, he never broke it. For example, "Sir Gawain didn't try to move away"when the axe was thrown to him. He might have the time to move, but he didn't. He just stayed there and kept his word. If he moved, that would make things what he had done become nothing. So, even the axe was in the face of him, he didn't move. Sir Gawain is brave and intellectual enough to be a good knight. To summarize, Sir Gawain faced danger and kept promise what others might do, so Sir Gawain is the one of the bravest man.
In the story"The Sniper", the main character—the sniper who shows the readers how brave and prudent he is might be a hero. For example,"He wanted to fire, but he knew it was useless."when the enemy's car appeared. The siper must have thought a lot before he wanted to shot his enemy. If he shot his enemies,that might expose his position. After waiting untill finding the chance to kill his enemies, he immediately shoot.That's why he is so prudent.The sniper also wasn't afraid with his enemy.For example, "The siper lay still for a long time nursing his wounded arm and planning escape"after his arm was shoot.The sniper didn't escape at once but thought of a plan.He used his wisdom to deceive his enemy. The sniper wasn't in confusion after he was shoot and try to kill his enemy.That's shows his bravery.As an peroration,the sniper is also faced danger.He was so prudent when he was in danger.The sniper was also bravery enough to be one's hero.
Heros are the people who we adore very much.These people should have there special qualities such as brave,patriotic or fearless. Sir Gawain and the sniper both are brave enough to be a hero in people's mind.

My favourite viking ship
This ship called Barken Viking Ship.Why do I like this ship
is because it is more modern than the others.It is very a large and aggressive ship. It can travel for a long distance.Maybe it's not for vikings,but it shows many things about vikings' history inside it.It looks so beautiful!!
