What I did Over Spring Break

A Little Dynasty Chinese Essay, Level 7

This year’s Spring Break was my favorite! On Spring Break, I did many things near my home in Southern California.

First, I celebrated my cousin Elliott’s three month birthday. My grandparents, uncle, and my family went to a Chinese restaurant for a special lunch buffet. I ate so many strawberries and French fries. I felt special because it was fancy. After I finished my lunch I got to play with my 2yo cousin Evan on the balcony.

Next, I spent one day with my cousin Mari. We watched the movie “How to Train your Dragon“ in a huge shopping mall movie theater near her house in Culver City. After the movie, we played at a playground at the mall and ate fried chicken.

Last, my family and I went to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. I saw a big Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton and we watch a movie in 3D about the ocean. There was also a Butterfly Pavilion where we could get close to many different kinds of live butterflies.

As you can see, I had a lot of fun adventures on my Spring Break. Now I am ready for summer!

Translated to Chinese

今年的春假是我最喜歡的！在春假我做很多事情。

在星期日我參加我的表弟 Elliot 的生日。他現在是三個月大。我和我的奶奶，爺爺，叔叔一起去一個中國餐廳吃中飯。我吃了非常多草莓和土豆條。吃飽以後我和我的表弟Evan在外面完。

還有一天我和我的表妹 Mari 出去玩。我們看了一個電影叫“How to Train Your Dragon 3″。爸爸媽媽送我和哥哥去 Culver City。他們住很近那個電影院。看完以後在百貨公司裡面有一個很大的公園。我們一起玩。我們也在那裡吃晚飯。

後來我跟哥哥， 媽媽，爸爸在 Los Angeles 去參觀博物館。那邊有一個很大的恐龍的骨架。在哪裏我們也看了一個 3D 電影海洋，很漂亮。在一個房間我們也看到很多活的蝴蝶。

現在你知道，在春假我做很多活動。現在準備夏天來！
