The Year of the Goat was a main reason for the low newborns in 2015,a report said.

I have spent almost a third of my life in china,living and working in this beautiful country.In a sense,China has been and is still my second home But in those past years I had never been to Quzhou.
Some days ago,for the first time in my Chinese life,I stepped into the beautiful city of Quzhou.My impressions of Quzhou city were as I always thought:green countryside,rainy sky,wet air.That was what I imagined for years the south of China would be.When we finally arrived,I was impressed by the elegant (优雅的) city.
Next day we were taken to visit some places not far away from the city.I was not aware of the direction of our short trip,but when we arrived at Lanke mountain and got out of the car,I thought that we had been taken to a fairyland (仙境):the light rain over the green and thick plants,the silvery sky like a heavy blanket and the mystery (神秘) of this mountain made me feel like being part of a picture.
Jiulong Lake was our next step.The mystic atmosphere (气氛) of this place was so strong that I decided to watch the view standing at the top when I stepped into the small boat to sail upstream.Sometimes we were so close to the mountain that we could clearly see the red soil under the plants.I was thinking of the joy to be in a place like Jiulong Lake and how it would be to live among those hills for a while.
The final leg of the day's journey was a primary school.We were welcomed by the smiles on the faces of many young pioneers.The energy of the hundreds of kids made me feel younger for a while,so educated,so polite and so warm that I had no doubt about the future generations of Quzhou people.The people seem to me the best of Quzhou and they will remain in my memories forever.

Even though I just had lunch not long ago,I was felling hungry again.I went for something to eat.That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge.It was made from milk,sugar,eggs and fruits,and it looked so yummy.I noticed that there was only one left.
I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen.He found the pudding and asked for it."It's mine!I was the only one who found it!"I shouted."You are my elder brother,You should give it to me!"said he.Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.
