Although I'm not in my childhood, I still prefer reading fairy tales(童话).They often make me think of some special experiences and feelings. This summer I've reviewed The Little Prince. It was first published in 1943.It's a world famous fairy tale written by the French author Antoine.

    “I”, the narrator(讲述者) of the story, is a pilot. His plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. The little prince lives on a small planet, and he grows a flower called ROSE there. One day they have a quarrel(争吵), so the little prince runs away. On his all­ alone journey, he meets different kinds of people. From these people he gets a conclusion(结论) that grown­ups are strange. And with the help of the man he meets, he descends in the Sahara.

    This book moves me a lot. It is not only a fairy tale for children and teenagers, but also for grown­ups.

    Unlike most restaurants, the Enoteca Maria Restaurant in New York offers only home-cooked food by grand mas coming from across the world.

    Joe Scaravella, a 61-year-old Italian-American born and raised in New York, opened a restaurant in 2007. Having lost almost all his family members, he tried to recreate the feeling of home-cooked meal in his restaurant.

    He employed (雇佣) grandmas from different parts of Italy at first, and later, he begin hiring grandmas from other countries like Brazil, France and Greece. He built two kitchens in the restaurant: one for Italian grandmas to cook during lunchtime and the other for grandmas from other countries to cook every evening. The menus in the restaurant are constantly (不断地) changing because what is being served depends on the grandmas who are on duty.

    The restaurant opens five a week from Wednesday to Sunday. At present, there are more than 40 grandmas working in it. Most of them came to the U. S. with their children, helping take care of their grandchildren Scaravella give them the chance to express themselves in a culinary (烹饪的)way.

    The Enoteca Maria Restaurant has received positive reviews since its opening. Customers are ingested by its delicious food, comfortable environment and most importantly, the grandma who may remind them of their own.

Last summer, I went to Yunnan on vacation with my family. We 1 four days there.

Our first stop was Lugu lake. I wonder why there was so beautiful a lake in the world. I enjoyed 2 there. We went boating and took quite a few photos. Then we went up to a hill. On the top of the 3 . we got to see something beautiful. I felt like I was in a painting. I thought l would 4 forget the beautiful scenery there.

The next morning we went to Lijiang by bus. It was a long 5 from Lugu lake to Lijiang. We6 in the afternoon. After a short break, we went to walk around the town and bought some gifts. Then we decided to try the famous Guoqiao Rice. Noodles for dinner. They were very 7 and delicious. After dinner, we took a walk and enjoyed the old streets and buildings 8 the moon. The summer evening was cool.

Our 9 stop was the" spring city" Kunming. We visited Dianchi, watched the birds and went to the flower market. We had a really wonderful day.

The four— day trip came to a(n) 10 soon. We had to go home. Everything in Yunnan was great. It isa very beautiful and interesting place. I'm sure you' ll never regret going on a trip there.

I used to hate running. In secondary school, I found it really tiring to run and I was always one of the1 students to cross the finish line. Then, in 2023, my friend asked me 2 I would like to run a 10K event with him. I answered without thinking, "No way! I hate running."

 Over the weekend, I3 his question. "Why do I hate running when I haven't tried it since Year 7 in secondary school?" In the end, I decided I should give running another4 before I said I hated it. I told my friend I would like to go to the 10K event with him. He was happy to hear that I would5 him. He advised me to look on the Internet for a running program to help me learn 6 to run.

 There were lots of running programs on the Internet. I7 a 14-week running program that would teach me how to run for 30 minutes non-stop. I enjoyed following the program as I could see8 in my running each week. I went from hating running to loving running!

 On the day of the 10K running event, my friends and father came to 9 for me. With their support(支持) and my training, I finished the 10K in 72 minutes. It was difficult, but I felt very proud for having tried it. From this 10 , I learned that it is a good idea to try something before saying you hate it!

Nick and I are in the same class. He doesn't study well and he never talks with us. He doesn't have many friends. Today is Tuesday. We are studying in the classroom.

"Hi, Tom. My birthday is on this Saturday. I'd like to invite you to my party. I think it must be cool," Nick says to me.

I am very happy and want to be at the party, but I'm afraid (害怕) my friends will laugh at me. "If you study well, I will go."

"Oh, oh, OK. Cool." Nick says. With his head down, Nick goes away.

In the afternoon, I know most of my classmates will go to the party. They say they want to be Nick's friends and help him. My face turns red. I want to say sorry to Nick tomorrow. And I will buy a birthday present for him.
