Lois Lowry was borned in 1937 in Hawaii, Hololulu. Since his father was a soldier, they always move; when the World War II started, she moved to her mum's home with her mum's family. She learnt writing in Brown University, but she stoped studying before she graduated and she got marry. Unfortunately, after they gave birth to the forth child, they separated. Finally, she got a degree; she earned money by doing a housekeeping job, on the other hand, she kept writing stories.
Lois Lowry's books' ideas were always inspired by her life, like her chlidren's adventures and their life. Her first novel, A Summer to Die, was inspired by her sister who die in cancer; this story described the complicated feeling of a thirdteen-year-old girl watching her own sister walking on the road of death. A Summer to Die won an award, after that, she published about twenty novels for teenagers.
Even though, Lois Lowry was seventy years old, she was still very active and kept writing books. I think she was a very good writer because of her passion of writing.

Today, we went to the Ocean Park, it's a nice place. We were having a fun day, our group members went up to the hill and played. It's really exciting to play in Ocean Park; we all were enjoyed. We also took two courses about the pandas and dolphins; I learnt somethings new and the course instructors were pretty funny. I enjoyed the seminar on dolphins most because the instructor was funny, they also had some special information that I was interested in, like why fishing in the sea would kill the dolphins. I think the seminar was very well-presented; although some of our classmates fell asleep during the seminar, I enjoyed this seminar on dolphins most. If we are going to the Ocean Park again, I will take more photos for my mum.
