I am Mandy and I live in the city with my parents and my little sister. City life is boring sometimes. I love going to my grandmother's village.
It is so much fun living in the village. I like collecting leaves there. I usually do it on my way to the only shop in the village. They are in many different shapes. Some are like hearts and some are like hands ... I can make a lot of things with leaves. One fun thing is making leaf pictures.
This is how I make a leaf picture. I take a leaf out and I also need paper, glue (胶水), a brush and paints(绘画颜料). First, I glue the leaf onto the paper and wait for an hour. Then, I paint over the leaf and the paper and let the paints dry. Next, I take the leaf off the paper. There it is — a beautiful leaf picture on the paper!
