My First day at college

    I remember my first day at college. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at 8:30 and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} lessons at 9:00. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#} from 9:00 to 11:00. The teachers {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to us a lot! Then we{#blank#}5{#/blank#}basketball for an hour. At noon we {#blank#}6{#/blank#} lunch at the canteen (食堂). In the afternoon we continued (继续) the lessons and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to the teacher carefully. Then at 4:30 the lessons {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. It was a long and tiring day!

    One day, I took my daughter to the park. As soon as we got there, my daughter{#blank#}1{#/blank#}to the swing (秋千) and asked for a push. When I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}my daughter, I noticed another girl trying to make her own swing {#blank#}3{#/blank#}high by herself. Her old grandmother was sitting on the chair nearby and smiling at us. Gradually, my daughter{#blank#}4{#/blank#} higher and higher by me. Then I walked towards the little girl. I asked if I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a big push to her. She smiled and said “Yes”. For the next hour, I pushed the swings, and played with my daughter and the little girl. When we went home, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}tired but very happy.

    One day two years later, after a day's work, I went to pick up my daughter before going home. While I{#blank#}7{#/blank#} outside the school gate, a little girl smiled sweetly at me and gave me a big hug. As I watched her running away, I{#blank#}8{#/blank#}that she was the girl whom I gave a big push in the park.

    So far, I{#blank#}9{#/blank#} her sweet smile and the warm hug that she gave me. In fact, if we give love to others, love will find its way back to us. It may travel from heart to heart or it may blossom (开花) in the heart. The love we share, the kindness we give, and the happiness we create{#blank#}10{#/blank#}back to us with a pleasant surprise.

    We are going to have a party in our house this evening. It is my mother's birthday, and she has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my uncles and aunts and some of her {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Mother and I are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to cook most of the food for the party, and my father is getting the drinks. The living room looks very pretty. Balloons of all colours are hanging from the lights {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we have taken the carpets away {#blank#}5{#/blank#} we are going to dance there after dinner.

    In the dining room we have{#blank#}6{#/blank#} out the best plates and glasses and tablecloths, and they all look {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. We are going to have soup, fish, chicken, fruit and cheese. We are going to dance {#blank#}8{#/blank#} midnight, and after that, we will have more food, because we will be hungry after all that dancing.

    Last year my mother {#blank#}9{#/blank#} her birthday party in a restaurant, but it is pleasanter{#blank#}10{#/blank#} and at home. When it is my birthday, I am going to invite my friends and have a party in the garden. I will hang pretty lights in the trees and we will enjoy our food in the garden and dance on the grass.
