O
ne of our topics is the Chinese Zodiac. The 12 zodiacs are The Rat, The Ox, The Tiger,
The Rabbit, The Dragon, The Snake, The Horse, The Goat, The Monkey, The Rooster, The
Dog and The Pig. The 1st zodiac made in China was the Rat. Some people believe that
Buddha picked the 12 zodiacs. But before that there was a Chinese princess who saw the
animals fighting so she told them they ’re going to have a race and whoever wins will be
a zodiac. The Rat won.
A
nother topic is Chinese writing. Chinese writing is the oldest writing in the world, which
is still used now. Chinese writing is from top to bottom. There is no grammar in Chinese
writing.

Chinese zodiacC
hinese zodiac was picked 5,000 years ago.
The Buddha was the ones who picked the
animals. The 12 animals were The Rat, The
Ox, The Tiger, The Rabbit ,The Dragon ,The
Snake ,The Horse, The Goat or the Sheep
or the Ram, The Monkey, The Rooster The
Dog and The Pig or Boar.
I
n China, individual birth dates are not as
important as the year in which a person is
born. And if you want to know a person's
age, you don't ask how old they are, you ask
for their Chinese Zodiac animal. To know
which one is yours, look up the year of your
birth below and look at the qualities of that
animal to see how much of it agrees with
you.
Chinese writing
C
hinese writing is from top to bottom and
right to left, but now changed to left to right
and top to bottom, same as English writing.
There is no certain grammar in Chinese
writing, such as Present Tense, Past Tense,
Future Tense, etc. Chinese writing is kind of
difficult to write. Chinese writing is not
based on the alphabet, it's based on Chinese
characters, and each Chinese character
indicates the meaning of the word. Chinese
writing is the oldest writing in the world,
which is still using now.
