The Fireworks
By Max
Today we went to see the fireworks in the evening. At 8:00, we changed our clothes and we went out. We first went to Green Bay, and we walked there because of no bikes or motorcycles can go in. We saw a lot of people, about 20000 people. We came up the ramp, and went down the ramp to the ground. We heard a band singing there on a very big stage. I want to see the concert, but since Dad only wanted to go to eat some food, so we quickly walked away. We went in the door to the food area and got a handbill. At the food area, there are a lot of tents, and it had various kinds of food. We didn’t walk along because I don’t want to eat it. So we sat on the manhole cover. We waited and waited until the first firework happened on the back of us. We can’t watch it very clearly, because there is a building which blocked the firework. But it was still very beautiful, because it has many colors and big explosions. But at 9:00, the “real” firework finally started. The firework had even bigger bangs and a part that shoots fireworks like a fast shooter! After the firework, I think that this firework is the most beautiful, and this is the first time I had seen the firework with a short distance! After the firework, we went to see a softball game. It is Taiwan versus Japan. After we arrived, the score is tied 1-1. But at the 8th inning, that player that defenses home base didn’t catch the ball thrown from the other player and let Japan score another point and ended the game winning! I think that the player is stupid and should been replaced! After the ball game, we went home.
