Hi, I'm Gina. In February, 2018 my mother had a yard sale. During the sale, she had a conversation with a young girl called Nancy, for they had a common interest in some books she had for sale. They enjoyed their conversation so much that they exchanged their phone numbers. Later they became friends and got together a few times. When my mom moved into her new house, she had a family dinner and invited Nancy and introduced her to my brother. Five months later Nancy married (结婚) my brother.

In 2018, there was another special "yard sale" that I'll never forget. One day, after work from school, I found one of my neighbors had a lot of things out in their front yard with cars and people everywhere. I ran to the yard at once and wanted to find some good cheap things too before everything good was gone. But then I found out it wasn't a yard sale. In fact, policemen were taking the stolen (被偷的) things out of the house. My neighbor was a thief! Luckily, I didn't ask how much the TV was.

There are some ways to improve your English, but I think the most important thing is to make English all around you. Here is some advice for you.

Listen to the radio in English. If there are no English radio stations where you live, listen to one on the Internet.

Watch TV and movies in English. If there are English channels on your TV, watch them. If there are no English channels, you can buy some DVDs of English movies.

Speak English to your friends. You can make friends with someone who is good at English and speak English with him or her as much as possible. You'd better make friends with people whose native language is English. Ask your friends to correct your mistakes when needed.

Study or travel to an English-speaking country. Of course the best way to improve your English is to live in English environments. You will find yourself surrounded with the language everywhere. It can be a more difficult and expensive choice, but you may find it to be a very valuable and helpful experience.

Amy was a sweet little girl，but she often wasted time preparing instead of acting. In the village，Mr. Smith owned a store that sold {#blank#}1{#/blank#}fruits，including seasonal berries. One morning，he told Amy，I saw some blackberries on Mr. Green's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} today. He said anyone could have them. I will {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you 13 cents per kilogram for all you pick for me. "

Amy was excited about the idea of earning {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to help her mom. She ran home to get a basket {#blank#}5{#/blank#}，thinking about how much money she would earn if she picked 5 kilograms. After finding out that she would earn 65 cents，she {#blank#}6{#/blank#}to dream bigger. She imagined{#blank#}7{#/blank#} she would do with a dollar and fifty﹣six cents if she picked a dozen kilograms. It took her a while to dream bigger. Then，it was almost lunchtime，so she didn't leave home{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the afternoon. 

As soon as lunch was over，she took her basket and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to the farm. Some boys were there before lunch and picked all the blackberries. She could not find half a kilogram to fill her basket. Then she thought {#blank#}10{#/blank#} her teacher's advice："Do your task at once；then think about it. One doer is worth 100 dreamers. "
