I'm a Chinese boy. My name is Zhao Ming. I am in No. 34 Middle School. I am in Class 1.My English teacher is Mr. Wang. My Chinese teacher is Miss Wu. They（他们） are good teachers. I love them. I have a good friend. His name is Tom. He is an English boy. I love him, too.

    It was a cold snowy morning after the winter vacation. And it was my first day at my new school. I was walking alone slowly and worrying about lots of things. It was early and there weren't many people on the road. Suddenly a girl who was riding a bike on ice fell down. She was trying hard to get up but fell again. Without thinking, I went over and helped her. She said" thank you" with a smile and then rode away. Her words warmed me a lot.

    Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and introduced me to the class. Then he asked me to sit down beside a girl. I felt so nervous that I didn't dare to look at her. Soon the first class, English, started. Their textbooks were different from those in my old school. As I was wondering what to do, an English book appeared in front of me. "Let's share," the girl beside me said. "Hi, I'm Carrie." I looked up. It was the girl I helped this morning. Later on, we became good friends.

    From that I learned: To help others is actually to help ourselves!

    A man got lost in a desert. He walked for two days but he still couldn't find his way out. Dying for water, he found an empty house in the desert. There was a water pump(水泵）in the house!

    The man was so happy that he ran to draw water. But no water how hard he tried, no matter came out.

    He was sitting sadly on the ground when he saw a little bottle with a cork in it. On the bottle, there was an old note saying: You must add the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don't forget to fill it with water again before you leave! The man took the cork out and found the bottle was full of water!

    If I'm selfish（自私的）, as long as I drink the water, I can go out of this room alive, he thought. If I do as the note says, I might die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?

    At last, he decided to do as the note said and began to draw water. Sure enough, lots of water started coming out from the pump!

    After he drank enough, he filled the bottle with water and added his words after the note.

    “Believe me, do as the note tells you!” he wrote.

My First Day 

I'll never forget my first day at primary school. I got to school early but I still felt really  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （紧张的）. Luckily，a girl was kind enough to  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （邀请） me to sit next to her. We were all together and the head teacher with thick  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （眼镜） welcomed us. He looked so kind that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （没有一人） of us felt afraid of him. 

My First Teacher 

I remember her name is Mrs Simpson. Her voice sounded really sweet. Moreover，she was more  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （幽默的） than any other teacher in our school.  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （也许） she was my dream teacher at that time. 

Sports Day 

Sports Day was the best day of the year!I used. to take exercise with my friends after school. My {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （业余爱好） is running，so I took an  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （积极的） part in the running race and I won he third prize!But I haven't won a better prize {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （还、尚）. 

With the development of society, people's needs are becoming increasingly different and we have more expectations for the future. What do you expect to see in 2024? Let's have a look.
