I have many teachers now and I love them all, but I think I love my English teacher, Sophia, best.

    Sophia is from the UK. But she loves Chongqing very much. She thinks Chongqing is great. She loves Chongqing food. Do you know what she likes for breakfast? Bread and milk? No, she doesn't. She only has noodles（面条）. Hot pot（火锅） is her favorite and she always eats it on Saturday and Sunday. Sophia has a daughter and a son. Her daughter's name is May. Her son's name is Jack. They are 8 years old. They go to the same school. They like hot pot, too. They are all in Chongqing now.

    We have English from Monday to Friday. So Sophia is very busy. But she is always nice and happy. All my classmates like her and her classes very much. She often plays English games and sings English songs with us. When we have questions, we like to ask her for help.

    Now I think I can do well in English because I have the best English teacher, Sophia.

    Ann wanted to play in the city orchestra (管弦乐队), but she was nervous (紧张的). She thought it might be too difficult. The first day she was so nervous, and she could hardly breathe. After a few rehearsals (排练), she could comfortably play along with everyone else. She found that there was no reason to be nervous and began to enjoy herself.

    In rehearsals, Ann became friends with Danny. Danny sat next to her and always helped her. Ann often asked him questions about music. Danny's parents were musicians. They started teaching Danny music when he was only five years old. Ann couldn't imagine playing the violin at that age.

    Ann's another friend in the orchestra was Marie. After rehearsal, Marie would tell Ann funny stories. Though Marie was much older than Ann, the two became good friends.

    The orchestra was rehearsing music for a concert. Ann invited some of her friends at school to come. Though they didn't understand music, they promised to come. They all liked Ann and wanted to cheer her. Ann's family also planned to go to the concert. Ann looked forward to the event, and she hoped it would not rain on the night of the concert.

    On the night of the concert, Ann was excited. Danny and Marie both told her that the concert would be fun. Ann knew that she would enjoy it. The conductor (指挥) Mike was nervous. Ann was surprised because she knew that he conducted many big concerts all over the world. After the concert was over, the conductor seemed happy. He said the orchestra gave a fine performance.

I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the crossing selling toys.1I would hurry past such sellers. But I found this young man was 2, so I stood for some time without crossing the street. I wanted to see how he sold his things.

Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set 3 eyes on one of the teddy bears. The mother asked the 4 and it was only one dollar. She 5 out a 10­dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the 6 back. I was wondering how he was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag 7 around his neck and take out her change.

I realized that this young man depended on believing people would not cheat him. There was no way for him to know 8 someone took out more than they should have done. I was so 9. I bought a car model from him that I did not need. As I walked down the street, I gave the car model to a kid walking with his father.

I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to 10others more, like the young blind street seller.

In the past, I didn't get on well with my parents. I hardly talked to them, because they liked to compare me with my sister. And that made me {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (happy) and sad. I didn't know {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to do. Sometimes I even {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (argue) with them about this.

However, I wanted to show them that I could do things as {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (good) as my sister. Then I began to spend most of my free time {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (paint) in my bedroom. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (Lucky), my art teacher, Miss Green, offered me a lot of help. She taught me some drawing skills to help improve my paintings. At that time, she was the only person I would like {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (communicate) with.

One day, I told Miss Green {#blank#}8{#/blank#} my problem. She encouraged me to take part in a painting competition. She said the best way to communicate with my parents was to prove (证明) myself to them. After a few weeks' waiting, the result finally came out. I got the first prize! When I took the prize home, my parents were so happy {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they couldn't stop laughing all the time! And they began to care more about me. Now {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (relation) between my parents and me are very good. So I think it's very important to have someone to talk to.

Tina started her junior high last Tuesday. There were 36 students in her 1 . In the first class，Mr Smith asked them to 2 themselves. Tina was shy，so she felt 3 . When it was her turn，Tina looked at Mr Smith 4 couldn't say a word. When her eyes met 5 ，Tina felt more nervous. Then she heard Mr Smith say，" Everybody，Tina's 6 is drawing. How about asking her to 7 a picture of me on the blackboard?" The students said，" Good idea. " Then Tina walked 8 the platform(讲台). On her way to the platform，she didn't feel so nervous. A question ran through her mind—9 does Mr Smith know her hobby?

"Are you 10 ?" Mr Smith asked. Tina said YES and 11 Mr Smith for a minute. Then she 12 to draw with chalk(粉笔). Very soon she finished the picture. "Wow! The picture looks the 13 as you，Mr Smith，" some students shouted. 

"Well done，Tina!" Mr Smith said. "I14 you can share your drawing skills with other students. " Tina said，"I will，Mr Smith. I'd like to give them some 15 about drawing. "

Tina really likes her classmates and teacher.
