Will you put others' needs before your own? What 1 will you get if you do? Here is an experience of mine.

    It was a wet day and I had a 2time. I was busy and everyone I talked to was in a bad mood(心情). What's more, I went out without breakfast and I left my 3at home. So I couldn't get lunch and was terribly hungry.

    When I finished my work, I 4to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy 5. Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my 6meal of the day at 5:00 p.m.

    As I was halfway home, my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in 7and needed a lift(搭便车)home. My mind said, “I will get him 8I get the meal.” But my mouth said, “All right, I'll give him a 9”

    He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how 10he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the 11stopped him from making that journey.

    Traffic was 12. A drive to his home normally took 10 minutes, but that day it took 30 minutes.

    Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a 13friend of mine. But, in fact, he is a friend of a friend's.

    I wonder if I will ever see this person again, but I feel glad I was there when he 14me.

    So you will feel yourself helpful and useful when you 15more about others.

I love fun jokes. I read a lot of jokes in books and 1 the Internet. But I also like 2 jokes myself. I wanted to find a 3 to show them to my classmates. I found QQ zone（空间）. It is a very nice place. I write many jokes about birds there. My classmates laugh loudly when they see 4 . They also talk with me about my jokes. So I can write more interesting jokes! Well, I also want to try English jokes later. I want my jokes to make 5 people laugh.

Long long ago, a man went to his neighbor's house and tried to steal something. On entering the gate, he saw there 1 a big bell. The bell was beautiful in design and shape, so the thief 2 to carry the bell back home. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not move it, because the bell was both big and 3 . He thought for a while and believed there was only one way to solve the problem. He had to break the bell to pieces before he was able to carry them back to his home 4

The thief found a big iron hammer, with which he struck(敲击) the bell with all his strength. The striking5 a big crashing sound, which made the thief terribly frightened. He got flurried(慌乱的）and hugged the bell, trying to muffle(裹住) the crashing sound with his6 . But how could the sound the muffled? He subconsciously (下意识地) shrank back and covered his ears hard with his hands.

The sound became weaker, so the thief became7 at once. The sound of the bell couldn't be heard when the ears were covered. He immediately had his ears plugged(堵住) with some cotton. He thought that in this way 8 could hear the sound of the bell. Feeling relieved, he began striking the bell, one blow after another. The sound of the bell was heard in the 9 , and finally people caught the thief.

Later, people used the interesting phrase "plugging one's ears while stealing a bell" to10 the ignorance and foolishness of the person who deceives(欺骗) himself as well as others.

Good morning, everyone!

I am very happy to be here to make a speech today. The topic of my speech is "One Thing I Keep Doing".

Dear Lisa, 

 Today is a big day. We have a new family member. Her name is Amy. She is my little sister. 

 There are four people in my family now. My parents Shelly and Robert are very happy. My dad saysI am a big brother now. But what is a big brother?

I ask my mom about it. She says, "A big brother is like a good friend. You talk and play with her. In summer, you buy ice-cream and eat it with her. In winter, you play with her in the snow. You take care of her. "

 It sounds interesting. And I am very happy to have a sister. I want to be a good big brother! And now you have two cousins. Do you want to come and see my sister?

 Love, 

 Joseph
