    It was a very special day because Dylan Terry came to the West End Children's Home！Dylan Terry is my favorite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （sing）. I like him because he sings {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （wonderful）, he's cute and he helps the kids a lot.

    We {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （stand）near the door, waiting for him. Everyone was very excited. Finally, he arrived {#blank#}4{#/blank#} shook hands with us. He was so nice！He sang several songs for us. Some of us even started dancing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he was singing. We were having a great time！

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} our surprise, Dylan joined us for lunch. He brought us {#blank#}7{#/blank#} big cake. Everyone ate some and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} was delicious. While we were eating, Dylan told us many interesting {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （story）about himself. I never thought I could talk to my favorite pop star. It was just like a dream.

    Doing homework not only can help children master the knowledge they have learnt but also can train their abilities of finishing the work alone, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (plan) the time and doing the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (duty). But some children don't like to complete the work .Why? There are some reasons.

    Some children feel it is very difficult {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (do) their homework, because they can't understand their teacher {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (clear), and can't follow their teacher's teaching process. Maybe there is something wrong with their intelligence.

    But some children's intelligence is normal. They are even {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (clever), but they don't listen to the teacher {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (careful). It is hard for them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (sit) well and pay attention to anything. It needs to carry on the attention centralized (集中注意力) training {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (help) the children.

    Some children love their teacher and then they like the subject. Their interest depends on the teacher who {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (teach) them. So every teacher should be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (help) and kind. It can make children love you and the subject you teach. So they can do their homework happily.

I was looking through my old photos last Sunday. One photo {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(catch) my eye. In the photo, I was sitting in a chair, hugging Duke, my best friend in the whole world.

    Duke was an interesting name for such {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(an) little dog. But he was my friend from the moment I could walk. He stayed with me in that chair when I read {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(book). When I went outside {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(play) games, he would drive our cats up to the trees and then walk off feeling proud of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(him). When he was hungry, he would carry his food dish in his mouth and drop {#blank#}6{#/blank#}at my mum's feet. When I was sick, he refused to leave my bed until I got {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(well) than before.

I learned a lot from Duke. I learned that a short sleep at noon could be good {#blank#}8{#/blank#}you. I learned that the simplest dinner can be delicious {#blank#}9{#/blank#}you eat it with great enjoyment. I learned that life can be good when you live it with love and joy.{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sad), I also learned that life is short, especially if you are a dog.

    To me, Duke is like a teacher who has taught me how to love and to be loved.
