Yesterday, I posted a photo of a pile of cross stitch kits(十字绣)on my blog. To my 1, many readers say I do well in them. I couldn't use them all, 2 finally I decided to give away the rest to ladies in my neighbourhood who like to 3a project with their own hands.

I4them all up into a box and decided to start with the lady who 5a pub. She's perfectly kind and she served me with a cup of coffee. I took her out to my car and showed her the 6. I was holding it in my arms beside my car when another car 7up next to us with two other ladies in it. Within moments I was pushed against the 8behind the weight of three elderly ladies and I had to fight my way to pick up the empty box. The three ladies had taken every single item in that box with 9expressions on their faces and lots of thanks. One of the ladies has a son who is a firefighter. She decided to give some cross stitch kits to the 10station. Her decision did make me pleased. I had in my mind a wonderful picture of all these 11and strong firemen sitting around all working on their cute cross stitch Christmas stockings while they 12for fire alarms to be called in.

Finally, 13and laughter all went around, and then I e­mailed another 14, who often visits me and also likes cross stitch kits. She promised to send me her extra cross stitch kits, too. I just know kindness will finally 15on to others.

China is a big old country, has a history of more than five thousand years. We are proud of (it) culture and part of the culture even influences the world  (great), for example, the thought of Confucius. As Chinese economy develops very fast and plays  important role in the world, more and more  (foreign) learn Mandarin (普通话) in Confucius institutions. The Chinese traditional culture can be tested by the time. It unites the whole nation and no matter kind of disaster comes, we will fight together for the country's future. Today, many young people lose faith in (tradition) culture and they are crazy about the western culture. They follow the western fashion, (think) we are the old style. But some day, they (realize) it is wrong  (abandon) traditional culture.
