    You don't have much time for your diary, but you really want to remember your important days in life. Nine Square Diary (九格日记) is coming to help you. This new kind of diary has nine squares. And they mean nine different parts in life, such as plans, feelings and health. Writing this diary is just like filling in the blanks. It is so easy that you can finish it in only a few minutes.

    The above is a page of Nine Square Diary from John, a middle school student.

    Typhoons in the northern part of the world have girls' names. Sometimes they have very beautiful names. Rose is a pretty name but there was nothing pretty about Typhoon Rose. It was one of the f typhoons to hit Hong Kong in ten years.

    It began o the morning of Monday, August 16th, 1971. At ten o'clock, Typhoon Rose was still 130 miles away but already the wind was blowing people's umbrellas away. It b stronger and stronger. The typhoon shelters were soon full of boats. Some very big ships went out to sea b it was safe for them to be at sea in a typhoon. Kai Tak Airport closed. No p could take off or land.

    In Typhoon Rose, many people died and lost their homes. The people of Hong Kong will not quickly forget Typhoon Rose!
