My favorite vacation I have ever been to is Kauai Hawaii with my family. On the island, there are
so many to do and see. We snorkeled, and saw a ton of ocean life, such as eels, sea turtles, fish of all sorts of
sizes and colors, and even saw a huge sea lion and shark. The island was very beautiful with the large
canyons, waterfalls, and even a rainforest. I also have to say that I probably saw close to 100 rainbows during
my stay in Kauai.
The weather in Hawaii was always warm and sunny. The restaurants had no windows or doors
allowing us to enjoy that beautiful weather day and night. It was the same thing at the hotel we stayed at.
There were no main doors to the lobby; it was just a big opening with a Koi Pond, birds, and an amazing view
of Pacific Ocean.
The water in Hawaii was just perfect. It was warm and so clear that you could see everything that
was in the water. The colorful fish, the rocks, and the coral made the ocean experience so entertaining. I was
able to swim, boogie board, and even surf all day long.
I had such a great time when I went to Hawaii with my family! It was a trip of a lifetime, where I
was able to experience things I don’t ever see in Michigan!

brother.
That day, my brother and I went to the mall near our house. I wanted to do buy T-shirt while my
brother wanted to buy socks. We left home after lunch. It was very crowded at mall because it was
Sunday. Many teenagers hang out there. We entered to one of the fashion store. I went to the T-shirt
counter and select T-shirt that I wanted to buy. Suddenly my brother saw one of his friends and he said

store and looked for him everywhere. Finally I saw the back of a boy wearing a T-shirt like my brother

There are two major kinds of fishes raised in my aquarium. Their names are Peacocks and
Mickey Mouses. The Mickey Mouse fish are the first kind I bought. They are very smart but their
appearances are very common. They get such a name because their tails have totem of Mickey
Mouse. The other kinds of fish are Peacock and they get their name also because their tails are
colorful and beautiful just like that of a real peacock. It seems that God is always fair to everything,
so the fish of Peacock are beautiful but not smart. I put them together and let them learn the
advantages of each other. It is really very interesting to observe what they do every day: their eating
behaviour, their sleep habit, and their way of giving birth to the next generation.
Every time when I get closer to them, they seem very happy and excited because they know
that their food is coming. The Peacocks are always very flushed to swing their bodies and are
agitated to eat as quickly as they can. It seems that they haven’t eaten for a long time. I cannot but
associate them with cannibalistic fish. In contrast, The Mickey Mouses are relatively quiet and
steady. They usually swim under Peacocks and eat the rest food falling down from Peacocks. They
move their bodies swiftly and accurately to the aim. Like a killer, they show their cool and placid
personality when pursuing the goals without wasting any energy.
