I'm Sally. I was a shy girl. Bu this term, I decided to do a brave(勇敢)thing. In this term, we had a new subject to learn— physics. When our teacher asked someone to be the physics monitor(物理课代表), I put up my hand and got the role. But it was not as easy as I thought.

    At the beginning, I found that many students did not hand in(上交)their homework, so I was a little worried. I shouted at the students. It made the students angry. One girl asked: "Why are you shouting at me? You're making it seem like it is all my mistake(错误)." Then I found that, it was my mistake in fact. I should talk to my classmates in a kind way and not get so angry.

    After this, I changed(改变)how I spoke. "Excuse me. Could you please finish your homework?" I said. Later, I was surprised that many students understood me a lot better and finished their homework quickly.

    I found the best way to do this job is to talk with my classmates in a friendly way. Now, I am getting better and better with my classmates. This job makes me feel like I am growing up like a little tree day by day.

    When I was a child, I was a tomboy(假小子). I had a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. My brothers were two and four years older than I. We often played games together.

    Once, my brothers and I fell in love with playing a game called "stealing horses". Then my parents decided to buy my brothers guns. These were not "real" guns. Because I was a girl, I didn't get a gun. They shot and shot at everything with their new guns. I tried to "fight" them with my bow and arrows (弓和箭). But I was still in the poor position without a gun.

    One day while I was hiding behind a wall, looking out toward the fields, I felt a terrible blow to my right eye. I looked up just in time to see my brother lower his gun. Both brothers rushed to my side. My eye felt great pain and I covered it with my hand. "If you tell that to Mummy," they said, "We will get a whipping(鞭打) from Daddy. You don't want that to happen, do you?" I did not. "Here is a piece of wire(电线)," said the older brother, picking it up from the floor, "Say you stepped on one end of it and the other flew up and hit you." "Yes," I said. To be honest, I didn't want them to be punished. So I did as my brothers told me to do.

    A week after the "accident" my parents took me to see a doctor. Finally I knew my brothers were worried about my eye, so they told our parents what had happened and asked them to take me to see a doctor.

Do you like weekends? The weekend is a time for family {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (member) to relax together. First, we often go {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(outdoor) together on weekends. Planting trees in the field, walking and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) on a picnic are popular outdoor activities. When the wind blows on children's faces {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(soft), they begin {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (laugh). They also like going fishing {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the lake. In autumn, the colourful leaves {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (cover) the path(道路)in the park. The sky is higher and bluer than that of any other season in a year. It is a good season to pick fruits in the fruit garden. On cold winter days, we may watch movies. We often work together {#blank#}8{#/blank#} home. Some do cleaning in the garden. Some may also like {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (paint) their houses. We are busy on weekends, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} we are happy and relaxed. 

Saturday, April 23rd

Today was a sunny day. In the morning, we rode a bike for three people. Max sat in a basket on the front of the bike. That was fun! We took pictures of the beautiful countryside. We bought some gifts and ate some delicious food. 

In the afternoon, Mum ate some bad fruit and didn't feel well. So we stayed in the hotel. Dad and I wanted to make her happy. We dressed up(打扮) and made a funny play. Robin played the part of a dog. He was so cute. Max liked him so much. He jumped on him and licked(系) him. Of course, Robin didn't like it. We laughed and laughed. 

It was a bad day but also a good day!
