An Exciting Yesterday


Yesterday was an exciting day.  People were coming to see our house, so we cleaned a 
lot.  We were supposed to go to tae kwon do and then go to the library with food.  
We were so busy cleaning that we forgot the food!  We drove to tae kwon do, where it 
was sparring day.  
" On sparring day what you do is drills at first.  There are arm guards, leg guards, a 
helmet, and a pad which you put on.  You need those equipment because after the drills 
you kick and punch each other using techniques.  The equipment protects you from 
damage.  I sparred against someone that I know.  His name is Noah.  The sparring was 
so intense.  Noah was really offensive, so I had to use counterattack-drills to avoid 
getting hit as much.  My tactic was kicking and then quickly jumping out of range.  It 
worked well, but it was about a tie.  The tae kwon do was very fun for me.  It energized 
me a lot.  
" After tae kwon do, we realized we didn!t have food and we were hungry.  My 
mom suggested going to a restaurant or buffet, and we picked the Chinese buffet.  I was 
so hungry, I got food right away.  First I got seafood, mushrooms, and lo mein.  Next I 
devoured more lo mein with mushrooms and chicken.  It tasted really good!  For desert I 
had peaches.  The last part was the fortune cookies.  My fortune said,“From now on 
your kindness will lead you to success” My brother got something saying he would 
prosper in the medical field, which I doubted.  My mom got a saying saying,“Idleness is 
the holiday of fools.”  
" We went to the library and got some books.  I read a book about the history of 
the U.S and got books about wizardology and the internet.  My moms saying came true 
when we went home.  We played games untill bedtime and joked that we were having a 
holiday of fools.  When I went to sleep, I was content and happy.
