My six-year-old daughter, Cindy, and I stopped at a food shop for some bread. As we were going out of the door, a young teenage boy was coming in.

    The boy had a strange hairstyle. His nose was pierced, and a ring ran 1 the hole. He held a skateboard under one arm and a2 under the other.

    Cindy, who was walking ahead of me, suddenly 3 when she saw the boy. I thought he had frightened my daughter. But I was 4. My daughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I came face to face with the young man. I 5 aside (到一边) and let him pass. He replied vey 6, “Thank you very much.”

    On our way to the car, I praised Cindy for holding open the door for the boy. It seemed that she was not troubled by the boy's appearance,7 I still wanted to make sure. I wanted to be ready to talk about the young man 8 was so different from others.     I prepared to tell my little daughter what 9should be like.   

    But as it turned out, the person who needed the talk was 10!

    The only thing Cindy noticed about the boy was the fact that his arms were 11. “ He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other. He would have a 12 time to open the door,” said Cindy.

    I just 13  the hairstyle, the piercing and the ring, while she saw a person carrying something under arms and heading towards a(an)14 door.

    What my daughter said 15 me that I should change my ways of judging people and learn from my daughter to be open-minded and warm-hearted.

Mum's Christmas Surprise

    Molly ran back home from school and dropped her schoolbag on the sofa. Then on the table she saw “Mum's Wish Book” – a mail order catalog（商品目录） from a gift shop. “Mum,” she said excitedly to herself, “this year you'll get the gloves you want!” Molly had walked a dog for a neighbor and saved her 1 all year to buy Mum the gloves.

    She opened “Mum's Wish Book” and hoped that she could find these 2 in it. Teas ran down her face when she saw the gloves in the catalog. Mum wouldn't buy them for herself, because the family had a 3 time on the farm. She once heard Mum say to Dad, “Maybe some day, I'll have the money to get them.”

    Molly ran out by the back door and went straight to the post office. There she carefully filled out the order form torn from the catalog.

    “I need to buy a stamp to 4 the form.” She said to Mr. Smith, the only worker in the post office.

    “Umm, a pair of gloves?” said Mr. Smith, as he passed a stamp to her.

    “Yes, It's a Christmas gift for Mum, but please don't tell her. It's our 5, OK?” Molly didn't realize how white Mr. Smith's beard was until that moment. In face, he reminded her of Santa Claus.

    As Molly walked back home, she decided to tell Dad her secret. “You've got to check the mailbox every day,” said Molly 6 to Dad. He nodded, with a big smile.

    Coming home from school every day, Molly peeked at （偷看） Dad when Mum wasn't 7, but every time he shook his head.

    On Christmas Eve, Dad came back from mailbox, still empty handed. Molly felt 8 when she went to bed, because she didn't have the gloves for Mum.

    Before Christmas dinner, as Mum took the apple pies out of the oven, Molly began 9 the table. Suddenly, they heard someone pulling up the driveway. From the window they saw Mr. Smith making his way to the door, with a box in his hand. Mr. Smith 10 Mum the box, “I believe this is yours.”

    Mum looked from Dad to Molly and opened the box. Her eyes lit up when she saw the gloves. “Oh, who bought these for me?” she asked.

    “Santa did,” said Molly smilingly.

    “Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!” Mr. Smith, with a loud laugh.

    It was Christmas that no one would ever forget.

    With a hat by his feet, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building. He held up a sign which said," I'm blind, please help."

    Only a few people put1in the hat. A man was walking by. He dropped some coins into the hat, then turned the sign2wrote some words, put the sign back and left.

    Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people began to give money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see3things were going. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, " Were you the one who 4 my sign this morning? What did you write?"

    The man said, I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a(n)5way." What he wrote was. "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."

    Both the6told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by throwing some money into the7. The second one, 8, told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day. But the boy couldn't.

    There are at least two lessons we can learn9this story. First, be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less Help them if you can. 10, be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

I am John. In June 2018, my family took a plane to Manchester. We were going to visit my older sister because she was studying at a university there. 

On the first day, we woke up and took a bus to the airport. It was so early in the morning, so l slept on the bus. When I opened my eyes, we reached the airport. We had breakfast at a cafe there and then got on the plane. 

We reached Manchester in the evening and of course, everyone was very tired. No one felt like talking. 

Although l was tired and hungry, I felt thrilled. My sister and her friend warmly welcomed us and we had some tea at Starbucks. "Wow, I am in Manchester, " I said. You should imagine how great the feelings were. 

After that, we took a train to our apartment (公寓). I am not sure where it was but it was near the train station. I pushed the apartment door, and my mouth turned to an "O" shape. My sister is really good at choosing the best place for us to stay. I ran to a window and I could see Manchester, the park, some buildings, and there you go！ Instead of(代替) watching them on TV, I saw them right in front of my eyes!
