Joe was driving home on a road one evening. He just lost his job. It was winter and it was very cold, just like his feelings.

    An old lady with a car was standing on one side of the road. She needed help, but no one stopped to help her. Joe stopped in front of her and got out of the car. The old lady looked very worried. Even when he put a smile on his face, the lady still looked worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe, and he looked poor and hungry.

    Joe knew how she felt. He said, "I'm here to help you, madam. Why don't you wait in my car? By the way, my name is Joe."

    The lady thought for a while and then went into his car. There was something wrong with her car. Joe went under her car to repair it. It took him a long time to repair the car. He got dirty and his hands hurt. Then the lady told him her name was Mercedes. She asked Joe how much she should pay for his help.

    Joe never thought about getting money. This wasn't a job to him. This was helping someone in need. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person help.

    I caught a very bad cold last weekend and had to stay at home for a whole week. The nurse in the hospital took my temperature, I had a fever. The doctor told me to take both some Chinese and some west medicine. He suggested that I should stay in bed and have a good rest.

    When he asked me what probably caused（引起）the cold, I told him the whole story.

    Last weekend, I was studying for an exam. Father said to me, "You look stressed out, son. You really need to relax. Let's go fishing in the countryside!"

    "Harrah!" I shouted.

    The next morning, we got up very early. Mother told us that it was going to rain and she suggested that we should take our raincoat with us but we were too excited to remember that. We took a train and arrived at a lake in the countryside. A few hours later, it began to rain! Soon, it began to rain cats and dogs. We had to go back home.

    When we arrived home, we were wet through. Mom asked, "Did you catch any fish?"

    "No, we didn't. But we caught cold!" Dad answered.

I'm Timo Halla. I1 with my parents in Helsinki， Finland. I'm happy every day. Now, it's December. Every Tuesday, I usually get up at 7:40. 1 often listen to the news2 music. My mum always cooks for me. After 3 , I walk to school. And it only takes me 10 4 .

My school begins at 9:00.There are 18 5 in my class. Each lesson is 45 minutes. Between lessons we have a 6 , and we can do other things with our friends. We have three7 in the morning-one Finnish lesson and two home economics lessons. The afternoon lessons begin at 12:30 and8 at2:15. Then I go to my ice hockey club.

I usually get home around 4:00. It is already9 outside. All the lights are on. I often have dinner at6: 00. Then, I read with my parents for an hour. After that, I 10 my school things for the next day. At 9:30, it's time for me to go to bed.

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon—not just any afternoon, but my birthday afternoon. We had the delicious cake. My mum 1 it. It was time to open the 2 . To my surprise(惊讶), my parents gave me a new 3 this year. 

I liked my new baseball so much, and I wanted to take4 everywhere I went. 5 my parents didn't want me to take it to school. The next day I did it anyway and it was a big6 . 

Alice and I just played our first baseball game with some classmates. Alice hit a home run(本垒打), and I ran to 7 the baseball. I was so happy to catch it. I jumped up and down and the ball ran 8 my hands, into the bushes, rolling(滚动) and rolling. We 9 everywhere, but we couldn't find it. 

I felt very 10 the whole day. When I got home after school, my dad picked11 up from the kitchen counter(柜台). It was my baseball! My dad told me that he12 it in our front yard(院子) and asked me why it was there. I 13 answer. I was so happy that it was back. 

14 did it get to the front yard? Maybe it rolled all the way from my 15 to our home down the street. Maybe it decided to teach me a lesson to listen to my parents!
