An Incident Report
The accident happened on Feb 2nd, 2010. Eliana Ramirez and I were walking in front of my office building. Suddenly, Eliana slipped on the sidewalk which was very slippery after a heavy snowfall during last night and fell forward on her stomach. She is 8 months pregnant. She gasped for air for about 20 seconds and began to feel pain. She felt she might be going into labour. Marc Brennan from the Accounting Department was walking by when he saw what happened and called 911 immediately. Paramedics came 3 minutes later and took Eliana to North York General Hospital and said she might be in labour. I called Eliana's husband and told him what had happened.

Buying a car
Almost everyone has a car here, and there is a saying:"No car, no feet." I totally agree. But we are new-comers,should we buy or just rent one? I have no idea, so we just think about it, then make a decision.
Driving a car is a good idea for my husband but not for me. When we talked about getting a car, obviously he had more interest than me. Then the first car of our family will given to him. I totally agree with that. Just like my children said, Dad is the owner and driver. We are the passengers. What we should do is sit down and tell dad where we want to go, dad has the responsibility of carrying us to the right place."
We really need a car. First, my husband likes driving the car. Second, he can drive to work. Third, he can go anywhere he likes by driving the car.Fourth, he can drive to supermarket and buy a lot of things without worry whether we can carry or not. Fifth, when we go out to play, we don't need to take the TTC anymore. Finally, he can pick up our children after school.
Should we buy a new car or a second-hand one? It's not a question for my husband and me. Both of us have not experience in driving, so maybe buying a new one is not a good idea for us. We decided to buy a used one to have some practice. The most importance of all is that we can save a lot of money on the car price and insurance.
Based on our decision, we decided to look for the car in the Internet. Its kind, the style, the price, the quality were not my business. The job for my children and I was to tell him that we didn't like this one or that one. So he had to work hard to explore and find one we liked and to pay for it. It's a good idea for someone as lazy as I.
Finally, on the evening of July 30th, he gave us a big surprise--he just have bought one-- It was a very beautiful white, Mazda 6. My children like it so much and so do my husband and I. we can go anywhere we like!
In short, car is very important to our life. I love the life with a car.

Apple Picking Day
How excited we were! In the last day on September we finally welcomed the apple picking day which had been postponed for one week.
In the morning all my classmates and I got on the school bus to go to the farm. We have been looking forward to this field trip so much and to picking apples ourselves and tasting the fresh fruit. Unfortunately, there were almost no apples on the apple trees. Then what should we do? My children gave me the answer. They said to look at every tree carefully to find the a few apples on it, though perhaps the apples were not delicious at all! Finally we found some apples and put them into their baskets and tasted them. "It's yummy!" my sons shouted. The children are easily satisfied. They like everything in the world, but why not? Impressed by my children, I thought the apples delicious too!
All of us enjoyed this trip and bought a lot of goods to home, including the apples we have already picked. My children thought it was a pleasure journey, so did I.
