I'll never forget that day on which my brother took me to stay at the street. Everytime I thought about his face, my heart shook strongly.

    "Got it? Just a couple of seconds later I will come back." Saying this, his figure went disappearing in the earth. At the same time I saw people sleeping with fear, suddenly realizing that persons didn't belong to anyone. And as time went by, I could never forecast(预想) what would be going on where I stayed.

    I watched the way my brother went on, thinking of something that happened when I was a kid. You know, I was not that outgoing, for which I always refused to talk to anyone including my parents. It is so weird that relations looked down on me and my parents ever sent me to the psychologist(心理医生). They never understood what I was really sick for.

    But something totally changed on a blue moon night. It's him, my brother. He knew the softest in my deep heart, being the first one to care for me. He would stay with me when my sleep was spoiled by horrible dreams; when I was down after something unpleasant occurred; when huge happiness surrounded(环绕) me and was needed to be spoken out to a listener. He gave me all these, on which the others didn't focus. I was moved.

    He always stayed. And kept staying. I was mixed in it. Which ever drove me crazy. But now I have to accept the truth that he has already gone. Like an opening petunias, come with charming smells, and then go with heart breaking. I don't feel sad, or any sense of bitterness. It's just like a two-people party, now it's time to end.

    Had someone given me a chance, could I let him stay? I think it's fate, unstoppable. His eyes are too small, not being able to fill me in. He's right. I shouldn't force him and myself.

    Today I live well. My life goes the right way. I will still miss him, imaging his life in heaven. Then it reminds me of that day. Eight years ago, he felt dying, then held me tightly, passing the beats and temperature to me. That street is in Wenchuan, on May 12th in 2008.

    The moon was behind a cloud and there weren't many stars in the sky.

    It was a dark night. I saw a glow(光) in my neighbour's kitchen. I thought he was having a night meal so I went back to my bed.

    Soon, there was a smell of burning in the air and I thought there was probably something wrong. I jumped out of the bed quickly and went out to make sure. I saw a fire coming out of my neighbour's kitchen. Then I shouted "Fire! Fire! ".But no one in the neighbourhood heard my shouts for help.

    I ran into my house, called the fire department(消防队) and went back to my neighbour's house. I banged(猛敲) on the door and called out my neighbour's name, but there was no answer. Finally I broke into the house and rescued a cat and a dog.

    I tried to pour water through the kitchen window but it was no use. It was a big fire. Luckily, the firemen arrived soon and stopped the fire.

    When my neighbour came back, he was sad for his kitchen but he thanked me for calling the fire department and for saving his pets. He wanted to give me some money but I did not accept it.

    Weeks later, my neighbour had a new kitchen. He invited me to see his new kitchen and we enjoyed a big meal there. It made me very happy.

David was a truck driver. Recently he was thought to be a great man.

Last Monday, he was driving along the road with his son and his friend. Suddenly he saw a car hit another truck (卡车) and catch fire. The accident was just in front of his truck. Without thinking, he stopped his truck, found a fire extinguish er (灭火器) and ran towards the broken car. But other car drivers still sat in their cars. David began to fight the fire. His action encouraged his friend. He also came and gave David a hand. Later, David's son and four other men came to help. Another five men pulled the car driver and her granddaughter, a three-year-old girl, out of the car successfully. They were all safe except that the driver's leg was hurt.

When people talked about David's brave action, David said, " I didn't think too much then. I just did what other people would do in that situation. When I first got out of the truck,I wished they wouldn't be dead. When I saw they were alive, it was really great!"

I read a story last night and found it very inspiring. Now, I'd like to share it with you.

A group of frogs were travelling through the woods.1 , two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs just to2 . But the two frogs didn't believe it. They tried to jump out of the3 with their own efforts. The other frogs kept telling them to4 trying and to wait for death. Finally, one of the two frogs gave up and fell down. Soon he died.5 frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just to wait to die. But he jumped even harder, and finally, he6 it.

Do you know7 the frog didn't give up? Because the frog was8 . He couldn't hear what the other frogs were saying. He thought they were all encouraging9 .

What lesson can you learn from this story? If you ask me, I will tell you that after reading this story, I decide to10 others when they are in trouble.

I finally got a chance to visit the beautiful Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) in India. Since I was a child, the Ta j Mahal {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) the place I've always wanted to visit. I was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (excite) when my family decided to visit India with me. Before our trip, I searched for information {#blank#}3{#/blank#}it, but when I saw it in person, it was much {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (beautiful). I believe no visit to India is complete without a trip to it.

The Taj Mahal is an ivory— white tomb(象牙白的陵墓) on the Yamun a River in the Indian city of Agra. The emperor Sha h Jahan finished {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (build) it in 1653 and placed the tomb of his favorite wife. It. us also the tomb of Shah Jahan {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . he). Words can never be enough{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (describe) the beauty of this building of love.

As one of the most famous man- made {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(wonder) in the world, the Taj Mahal is considered as the symbol of India by local people. To hear about the Taj Mahal's history is one thing, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to see and feel it by yourself is a different experience.

This is really {#blank#}10{#/blank#} unforgettable trip for me!

Yang Weiyun, over 70 years old, is teaching pinyin on TikTok. She also 1 reading and writing. Mrs Yang used to be a Chinese teacher at a primary school for about 30 years and a kindergarten (幼儿园) head for 2 20 years. 

After retiring (退休), Mrs Yang wanted to do 3 meaningful. Then she got the  4 of using the Internet to give lessons. Soon she 5 teaching pinyin on TikTok. At first, her classes were for kindergarten kids who will go to 6 schools next year. However, she 7 found there were more and more adults (成年人) in her" class". And most of them weren't8 to read or write.

"Many adults didn't have any 9 to go to school when they were young. They were afraid to go to new places. They couldn't teach their children at all 10 they knew few characters (汉字). I wanted to give them a new starting point," Mrs Yang said. So she began to teach reading and writing. Most of the adult students are 11 during the day, so they may have no time to have the lesson at 8:30 am. Mrs Yang gives 12 lessons every day. One starts at 8:30 am and the other starts at 8:30 pm. 

Zhang Mei is one of the adult students. She was born 13 the countryside and never went to school. After moving to the city, she found the life really 14 . She often got lost and couldn't find better jobs. Now she can write her name and she 15 more than 300 Chinese characters. She also finds a nice job. 

Mrs Yang says she will keep teaching.
