Dream Land! =]

Dream Land was formed in year 0-1. It's a round land with two countries: Dumpty Key and Humpty Lock. DK is a nice and warm land, and HL is a cold one. Dream Land is a land with no humans, just animals and nature.
The animals lived freely where they want to. Until year 12, when the volcano in DK erupted, all the animals moved to HL and lived there because they were afraid they might die :) In year 35, the Fire and Snow Dragon was born. Snow Dragon was cruel and bad, so all the animals moved back to DK. Twenty years later, the trees in both countries were born, giving the animals food to eat without hunting. HL (the Dragon, polar bears, sea monster...) hated DK (other normal animals..:), so they had a war for about ten years, when DK won. The valley rosed up between them, and HL couldn't go back to fight with the west side country. In the middle of year 116, the animals break up into groups and followed their leaders.

Family Tree Project

Well, before preparing for this assignment, I asked my parents about my family's lives. And there were so many things I didn't know. Like the doll that was there before I was born, my whole family comes from Sai Gon, and how my parents meet and get married. It's surprising that I didn't know that much until today...Great.
I also learned a lot about my friends and people around me. We all come from different cultures and different countries, but we are still good friends with each other. My friends are really awesome. Some can swim, some can cook, many went to different places or countries. It helps me to learn about my friends a lot. :D
