fly the kite
     nov. 17th  sunday                                       fine
     this morning, after finishing all my homework, i went to the people's park together with my classmate mary to fly a kite.  we got a very nice kite, and it was such a lovely day. so we were sure to have a lot of fun.
     i began to fly the kite.  once it went up into the sky, i began to run very fast, and hoped that it would go higher and higher.  then suddenly i felt something wrong. looking up into the sky, i was disappointed to find that the kite had got broken.  in no time the broken kite and rope fell over me.  what a fool!  i sat on the grass, feeling rather ashamed of what i had done.
     then mary comforted me, saying, 'now, you know what makes a kite fly high. it's patience and skills. 'yes, i've learned a good lesson today.

    放风筝
    11月17日  星期天  晴
    今天早晨，我做完作业后和同学玛丽一块到人民公园里去放风筝。我们买到一只非常漂亮的风筝。天气那么好，我们决定玩个痛快。
    我开始放风筝了。它一飞上天空我就开始飞快地跟着跑，希望它飞得越来越高。突然我发现有些不对劲，我抬头望天空，却失望地发现风筝断了。风筝和线立刻跌落在我的面前。我真笨!我坐．在草丛里，非常羞愧。
    玛丽走过来安慰我道：“现在你明白了怎样才能让风筝飞得更高了，它需要耐心和技巧。”是的，今天我就好好地给自己上了一堂课。
