Trouble with Yu and Mi

On Sunday my family and I were watching a movie called Rush Hour 3. There was a funny scene between an American and two Chinese people whose names were Yu and Mi.

“May I help you?”

“I’ll be asking the questions. Who are you?”

“Yu”

“No, not me, you”

“Yes, I am Yu”

“Just ask the questions. Who are you?”

“I have told you”.

“Are you deaf?”

“No, Yu is blind”.

“Hey, I’m not blind, you’re blind”

“That is just what just said”

“You just said what?”

“I did not say “what” I said “Yu”.

“That’s what I am asking you”

“And Yu is answering”

“Be quiet!”

“Now you!”

“Yes”

“Not you, him”

“What’s your name?”

“Mi”

“Yes you”

“I am Mi”

“He is Mi and I am Yu”

Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter was the 39^th president of the United States. He was born on Oct 1, 1924 in Plains, Georgia. Jimmy was a friendly boy who grew up on a farm and helped his dad grow peanuts and crops. When he grew up he was a submariner in the Navy. He liked being in the Navy, but he quit the job because his father died and somebody had to take care of the farm.

On July 7, 1946 he married a woman named Rosalynn Smith Carter. They had 4 children, I think he had three boys and one girl. On Jan 7, 1974 Carter became Georgia’s 76^th governor and then served as president from 1977, to 1981. While he was president he was interested in human rights: he allowed many women, blacks and Hispanics to have governmental jobs. He liked world peace: he asked the countries of Egypt and Israel to come to America and agree to stop fighting against each other. He wanted to protect nature:  he passed a law, the Alaska National Interest Lands, which means he wanted to protect animals.

Jimmy Carter is still alive and still wants to protect the world and make it a better place.

 

Making Apple Pie

On Sunday my family and I made apple pie. First I washed the apples. Then I helped my dad sliced the apples with a mixer. When they were finished I helped my mom make the dough. We mixed flour, butter and water together but I rolled the dough. My mom put cinnamon and sugar on the apples. We put the dough in a baking tray, then apples and on top more dough. Finally we put it in the oven. The apple pie was delicious. I hope I make apple pie again.
