My Hometown
My hometown is Kaiping, it is located in the southwest part of Guangdong province. Although is not a big city, but it is a very beautiful and warm city. It is located in the southwest part of Guangdong province. I have been lived there for thirteen years, until four years ago our family moved to San Francisco.
I love to live in kaiping and I miss the time that I live in kaiping, for the environment is so comfortable and it around by greens. Like trees, flowers, mountains and the not harvest cropland. The air in my home town is very fresh. When you breathe in the air, you can feel the air inside of your body. Then few second later you could feel that your tired are gone.
The neighborhood that I live, there has many supermarket, food market, shopping center, and shopping streets. In the shopping street, there has various sorts and varieties roadside stands, which is very lively. For example, there are clothes stands, jewelry stands, BBQ stands, game stands and etc. Once you walk in the street, you would feel that you never ever want to get out and go home anymore. People usually will stay there for three to four hours, buying things and keep looking things that fits them. Coming and going. That’s the reason why the street had always been crowed. Every day I can hear the people singing, yelling, walking away, and those talking sound from the street to our home, but it was not very loud, at least it didn’t bothers me. However I was very interesting in which person makes the sound. So sometimes when I am free, I’ll run out to the balcony and spend few hours to watch people walking around.

Our apartment is facing the street, so that I can see people from our balcony easily. I saw some of the families walking together, some people are buying clothes, some boyfriends and girlfriends holding each other’s hand, brother buying foods for his little sister, and some of the kids joking around. Also there has many foreign visitors walking slowly on

So much more that there is not enough room on the sidewalk for both me and the students and their parents to walk on.…

    The play “Our Town” explores the lives of people (primarily two families) living in a small and quiet American town in the 1900’s. In the first act entitled “Daily life”, the narrator did a good job of guiding the audience’s imagination to set up the ideas of a town in the early 1900’s. The lighting and sound cues made that very successful. The lighting was on cue and was very good at setting the scenes (i.e. brighter for morning sunrise). Realistic sets and props were minimal but, the performers pantomimed the majority of the play. The performers did a good job of conveying the imagery use of cooking, opening doors, and eating food. The performers were so believable that your imagination wasn’t very hard to use because things came to sight as if it was really on stage. The costumes of the performers set the age of the play and made you believe that you were in an earlier day and age. In act one, you follow the lives of the Gibbs family and the Webb family. Dr. Gibbs appears hardworking and is soft-spoken. Mrs. Gibbs is good in portraying that her husband is overworked and should take a vacation. Rebecca is George’s little sister. George seems scared or nervous in the delivery of his lines. There is many long pauses before he speaks as if he has forgotten his lines. He wasn’t enthusiastic at all. George seems not to understand or express the character's motivation. In the Webb family, Mr. Webb is great in the delivery of his lines. Mrs. Webb portrays a strict but loving mother. Emily Webb their daughter is very bright and hopeful. Wally Webb is her younger brother. When Emily and George are talking to each other at their windows, he seems to forget his words. Without a stellar Emily, the emotional potential is lost. The cast seems as if it was dead before act three of the funeral. Act two is about love and marriage. This scene reflects the love between George and Emily. In act two, Emily rises as the star of the play. She is very clear in her words and motivated.…

    I stopped for a moment just to observe the people in the streets. Many of them were scurrying to get somewhere, talking on the phone, listening to music, and ignoring one another as if they were the only ones here. The men were all dressed in their suits and ties and the women’s high heeled shoes could be heard striking the ground very swiftly one after the other. The enormous skyscrapers tower over me and I can no longer feel the summer sun beating down on my skin. The architecture of each building is so eye-catching and differs from one another. Some appear to be made of all glass, others are more vintage looking, and some even have striking statues attached to the buildings. The streets seem more congested than the side walks. The continuous sounds of cars honking at one another pierce through my ears, and the bright yellow taxis are so overpowering to the eyes.…

    It was a street filled with hues of bright, native art work, the aromas of fresh, ethnic foods, and magnificent lights. As my family and I walked down the rather large, rocky road on the humid summer night in Riviera Maya, I could hear the Mexican mariachi band playing in the background. Small shops and vendors lined the street, as millions of tourists, including my family, wandered along in admiration of the city’s rich culture and sights.…
