When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.

    It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and a{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to make friends with anyone.

    Every time I heard the other students talking and l{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, I felt my heart broken. I couldn't talk to anyone about my p{#blank#}3{#/blank#}, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.

    Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as u{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. At that moment, a boy e{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, s{#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

    Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and f{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.

    That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became c{#blank#}8{#/blank#} to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.

    One day, I asked him w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!

    It doesn't m{#blank#}10{#/blank#} because all the dark days have gone. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

    This term we have a new English teacher from Australia, Mr Green. He teaches very well and is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to us.

    Last Sunday some of my classmates and I went to visit him. He cooked some Australian food for us. We taught him {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to use chopsticks and the way of making dumplings.

    He had an interest in making Chinese food. He also told us a lot of western customs(习俗). For example, when they have dinner in a restaurant together, they {#blank#}3{#/blank#} keep quiet.

    When it was time for us to leave, I said to him, "Come to my home for dinner when you have time." He looked happy and asked, "When?" But {#blank#}4{#/blank#} fact, I was just to be polite. From that, we could see the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} from country to country.
