It's Sunday afternoon. It's my son's eighth birthday today. I go into a 1shop to buy a big birthday cake for him.

    There are lots of people in the shop. When I am 2 a cake, I find a little boy watching the cakes for a long time. He is 3old clothes. At last he chooses a cake. Then he gives money to the shopkeeper and says to her, “I want the 4 cake.”

    “Sorry, the cake is 20 yuan, but you only have 10 yuan,” says the shopkeeper.

    “I ...I have no more money,” says the little boy and he begins to cry.

    “Oh, my boy. Who would you like to 5 the birthday cake for?” I ask.

    “My mum, madam.”

    “6 doesn't she come and buy one?”

    “My father left us three years ago,” the boy says. “We don't have much7. My mother has to 8 from morning to night every day. She celebrates my birthday every year, but she 9 celebrates hers. It's her birthday tomorrow. I want to buy a small cake for her. But I don't have enough money...”

    “Oh, my boy! I'm your 10 friend,” I say. “I will buy her a nice birthday cake.” I give the money to the shopkeeper and leave the shop.

    Hi, my name is Eason. I am English because I was born in England, but I am also British because England is 1 of the UK.

    I live in a typical(典型的) English family. I have a father, a mother and a sister.

    We all live together in a house in a town in the south east corner of England. At the back of our house we have our 2 where I play with my sister. My family has a car, a computer, a colour TV with a DVD, a washing machine, a dishwasher and a cat. Mum and Dad both have mobile phones. I am hoping to get one soon. My favourite subjects at school are Science and History. My favourite topic in history is the ancient Egypt(古埃及). I also enjoy 3 lessons- we play football, netball, cricket and sometimes we go cross-country running.

    Every Saturday my family and I go into town to the open 4 . People sell vegetables, clothes, toys, posters, and nearly(几乎) 5 else out on the street. Mum buys her fruit and vegetables there. I enjoy just wandering(闲逛) looking at all the things for sale, hoping my parents will buy me something. Sometimes I am lucky. I love my family very much.

A Talk to Myself

    How time flies! I have been a 16-years-old girl now. I'm leaving school soon. I really have a lot to talk to myself.

    Lucky, my teachers are very friendly. They not only give me knowledge but also tell me how to be a man and my classmates are helpful. We share happiness and sadness in our school life.

    However, I'm also upset sometime. I don't take part in outdoor activities quite often because too much homework. I know it's not good for me. I'll try my best to join in more.

    I believe that my life in the future will be more beautiful and more beautiful..

One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 7, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.

During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.

But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong. 

"Haven't you got any friends? " a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down.  "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy. " I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.

That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive（原谅）me. But I thought I should. 

The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize (意识到) what your apology（道歉）has meant to me, Jimmy, "he said to me. "I hope we can become friends. "

We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.

When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was.

Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.
