Hail in Shanghai in June...So Weird...

1111 views. 2009-6-6 22:17 |

It hailed in Shanghai yesterday, which is so weird because never did I meet such things in Shanghai, let alone in the month of June.(Maybe I'm something of an ignoramus as I said before...)
 
As we all know, Shanghai is a place that warm in winter and cool in summer. Perhaps it is a little exaggerated, but it's true to some extent. Rarely can we see snow in Shanghai and I really lost some fun in my childhood.
 
It was a strange day yesterday. Maybe it's the reason why we say that weather in June is changeable like the face of a child. I went out with my colleague at noon and came back at about 2 o'clock. It was sunny and hot in the bus. After we came back to the office, it became dark outside and I guess it was going to be a thundershower. To my surprise, it rained slightly. When 4 o'clock went by, it was darker like the night and rained at last. The lightning was followed by a fearful clap of thunder. So horrible! My colleagues told me that it hailed in the central Shanghai. Many pictures were uploaded in the internet. A little crazy! But what I cared was how I got to school without an umbrella!
 
Fortunately, I worked in the finance department. That is to say there are many women there and women are always considerate as I see it. So Linda, one of my colleagues, offered me one, which I felt grateful.
 
Taking the bus of my corporation, I successfully arrived at the Wujiao Court near my university. The next thing I need to think of was how I got to the university with my bicycle in the heavy rain. I thought a lot and decided to have dinner first. I hoped the weather would be ok after my dinner.
 
To my big surprise, it stopped raining and became bright at the time I was searching for some place to have dinner. Great! And to my big big surprise, I saw a big and bright moon riding high in the sky at about ten. The weather is so weird. But I like such changeable weather hahaha~

Hehe, your hometown is not far away from Shanghai. Maybe the wind blew them to your hometown.
Anyway, wish it didn't do much harm to the farmers~

Hehe, we can learn each other in this way. But I feel ashamed that I have nothing to show. Maybe I have to read more^_^

Every time I wanted to have a good review before the test to get high marks while every time I failed to manage my time to go over it. I have twice experiences, althought both of them are over 500, I'll take the third time. But I'll go on taking the test "nakedly". You know what I mean hehe~
Here I give you some advice that you should take every chance and do your utmost to take the test because you'll be busier that you won't have time to do it again...
