Linda – Cleaning out my Books and Donating Some to Children in Sichuan

Last weekend I cleaned my room and I found that I had so many books!!! The books that you are seeing in these pictures are the books that I might need for study one day.


So I cleaned out my books and decided that the ones pictured below will be given to the children in Sichuan. Now I’m just looking for a chance to do something good. They are useless for me, but they must be useful for those children.

Linda – My Favorite Place – Ditan Park’s Book Market

If you ask me which place I like best. My answer is Ditan park. It is not only a park, but also is a book market. It has “book show(书市)”every season. People can a lot of books or something else in a low price.

As it is a park. It has beautiful scenery: Colorful flowers, old trees, old buildings—-which can show us the history and its culture. In the morning, you can see many people doing exercise, chatting or just enjoying the sunshine. In the evening, you can find them dancing, chatting or having a walk after dinner. At that time you will think life is beautiful and easy. Some of your pressure will go away from your daily life.

As it is a market, we can buy the things we need and they are all really cheap.  You can buy all kinds of books in Ditan Park. Including some English original version books. Computer books, fashion books, documentary books, stories and so on. They are all on sale, the cheapest one is 90% discount. (I bet you can see from the picture above. It is said: 90%-70% off the original price. We say it 1 Zhe or 3 zhe).

The book market is one of the most famous activity around here.  At the market, people can both relax themselves by walking around and buying books that they want or need.

If you are hungry, you can get some snacks from the Ditan Park too.  There are Beijijing local people’s style food.  You can taste some snack or sit down on the chair between the road to see the crowd…

Ditan park is really colorful. Although it is an old place, it can show us its bright and vitality. It bring us more happy, healthy, smart.

Here is the photo for Ditan Park.

I hope that when you are here, and we can go there together and try it!
