Mozart was a great musician. He was born {#blank#}1{#/blank#} January 27, 1756 and died in 1791. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he was three, he often had lessons with his elder sister. His father took him through many different {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(country) where he played music for lots of people. He spent half his life before the age of fifteen traveling and giving shows. But some people didn't believe a little boy {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(can) write such beautiful music. They asked him to stay in a room all by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(him) for a week and somebody watched the room all the time. In a week, he finished {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(write) a new piece of music. After that, people believed that he could write beautiful music. Mozart {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (die) when he was still a young man. During his short life he studied music and taught music and played music and wrote {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Even by working so hard, he couldn't make much money. Often he had to borrow money from his friends. But his music made him happy and for more {#blank#}9{#/blank#} two hundred years his music has made other people happy, too. He is one of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(great) musicians in the world.

    We are lucky to live in a rich country where we have many things. However, most of us usually {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (waste) some things.

    Electricity is one thing that we waste most. Lights, TVs, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (radio) and other things are often kept on even when no one is using them. We should turn them off {#blank#}3{#/blank#} we do not need them. It takes  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (little) than a second to do it. Anyhow, not wasting electricity saves money, because we do not have to pay for the electricity we do not use. The {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (two) thing that we often waste is water. Fresh water is precious, so it shouldn't be wasted. It is only a simple matter of turning {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a tap. I am sure everybody can do this {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (easy) if he wants to. Another big waste is food. My mother used to cook so much food that much of it was thrown away. I told her we had wasted so much {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (food). She thought I was right and now cooks mainly what we can eat.

    It is not right to be wasteful. I find there is a simple way of not wasting things. That is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (use) only what we need. Do not touch what we do not need. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}this way, we can stop being wasteful.
