You are actually right!
But my parents and I are all not good at growing flowers.
Those beautiful flowers always die in my home
so, now, I am just able to grow some hearts as m ...

HEY,does anyone know how to make cookies? This is one kind of my favourite snacks. I look for it on the Internet,but the information is not too particular. It didin't tell me how long time I should put the cookies in the oven!! Hope someone can give me the idea. Thanks a lot!
1/2 cup butter or other soft shortening
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Get Ready
Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Grease the cookie sheets.
Make the cookie batter
1. Get a large mixing bowl. Measure the shortening and put it in the bowl. Then measure the peanut butter and put it in with the shortening. Whip them together with a mixing spoon. Whip them until they are blended together.
2. Measure the granulated sugar and pour it on the peanut butter mixture. Pack the brown sugar into a measuring cup and then dump it on the granulated sugar.
3. Cream the sugars and the peanut butter mixture together.
4. Now get a cup. Break the egg into the cup and then add it to your mixture.
5. Measure the vanilla and pour it in. Start to stir slowly. Then stir hard and fast until you have a smooth batter. Set the mixing bowl aside.
6. Measure the flour, the salt, and the baking soda into a sifter. Sift them into a bowl.
7. Add the sifted ingredients to the peanut butter batter. Stir slowly. Stir as hard as you can. You will have a stiff, light-brown cookie batter.
Shape and Bake the Cookies
Use an "eating" teaspoon. For each cookie, scoop out a spoonful of batter and push the batter off onto the cookie sheet. Leave a lot of room around each cookie.
Before you put the cookies into the oven, mark them with the back of a fork. Here's how you do it: Put some flour on a plate. Dip the fork into the flour. Then press down on a cookie with the back of the fork. Make criss-cross marks all over the cookie.
Dip the fork into the flour again and mark the next cookie. Mark all the cookies this way, and then put them into the hot oven.
Let the cookies bake for 10 minutes. (Get another batch ready if you have another cookie sheet.)
Ten minutes are up! Smell those peanut butter cookies! Look how much they have spread out! They are very flat and very soft. Use a spatula to lift them off the cookie sheet and put them on a wire rack.
Let the cookies cool for a couple of minutes. As they cool, they become crisp. Try one and see.
1 egg
1/2 cup butter or other soft shortening
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate bits
or
1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup raisins
Get Ready
Set the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
Grease the cookie sheets.
Make the Cookie Batter
1. Get a small bowl and a rotary beater. Break the egg into the bowl. (No bits of shell, please!) Beat the egg with the beater. Beat it until it is light and foamy. Then set the bowl aside.
2. Now get a large mixing bowl. Measure the shortening and put it in the bowl.
3. Pack the brown sugar in a measuring cup and dump it on the shortening. Cream the shortening and the brown sugar together.
4. Pour the beaten egg onto the creamed mixture. Add the vanilla and the water.
5. Beat the mixture with a mixing spoon. Beat it until you have a smooth, creamy batter. Set the mixing bowl aside.
6. Measure the flour, the baking soda, and the salt into a sifter. Sift them into a bowl.
7. Pour about half the sifted ingredients onto the creamed mixture. Stir. Then pour the other half in. Stir until all the flour is blended into the batter. You have a batter that can be used to make two different kinds of cookies. Which kind will you make?
8. If you are making chocolate chips, do this now: Dump in the package of semi-sweet chocolate bits. (Do not put in any cinnamon.) Stir the chocolate bits into the batter.
If you are making raisin-cinnamon cookies, do this now: Measure the cinnamon and sprinkle it over the batter. Stir it in. Then dump in the raisins, and stir them into the batter.
Shape and Bake the Cookies
Use an "eating" teaspoon. One full teaspoon of batter makes one cookie. Dip the spoon into the batter and push the batter off onto the greased cookie sheet. These cookies will get bigger in the oven so leave plenty of room around each cookie.
Put the cookie sheet into the hot oven. The cookies should be ready in 12 minutes. (If you have another cookie sheet, get another batch ready for the oven now.)
Twelve minutes go by fast! The cookies come out of the oven! Lift them off the cookie sheet with a spatula and set them on a wire rack to cool.
The next time you try this recipe, you may want to divide the dough in half after step 7 and make half raisin-cinnamon cookies and half chocolate chips. Use half the amount of raisins, cinnamon, and chocolate bits.
uh,huh!That's a really really long paragraph. I guess you really took time to write all of them(or you found them on the Internet too) Thanks very much,Zhangyi!I will try to do it. But I always want to make a little innovation

Hey! Now I also have something interesting to show you. I have a little toy named Cathy. It's a cute little fox. Today because of my very nice mood, I made a house for her. Look!
Recently I am making my own research...
Maybe mum and dad didn't know it yet...hee hee!
It's all about the history of Canada.
I got all the imformation from books,Internet and my views.
That's pretty cool! Then I will be able to know Canada the 'second motherland' well.
I can show you my big project when I finish it. But before the time ,I will show you more crafts that all come from my imagining!
