Hey friends! Do you like flowers and do you know how to plant flowers?

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}all my family members，my grandma knew the most．She planted flowers in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}．She planted them with love and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}them as her children．So the yard was always filled with beautiful flowers． Grandma {#blank#}4{#/blank#}her flowers several times a day．She would smile when she saw the sun shine down on them．

    Every Friday Grandma asked me to pick flowers，and then she would turn them into delicious wine(酒)．To be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}，I liked doing that．

    Grandma not only planted flowers in the yard but also planted flowers in our hearts．Her delicious dinners made with love encouraged us．Her {#blank#}6{#/blank#}smiles always made us happy．Her hugs(拥抱)and kisses were the sunshine．

It's a(n) {#blank#}7{#/blank#}that Grandma died last year．We miss her a lot．

    Claire is my cousin. When we were young, we often went to school{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. So I knew a lot about Claire. When Claire was at primary school, she liked junk food{#blank#}2{#/blank#}hamburgers and ice-cream. She often drank coffee in the evening. Then she stayed up late to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. At home and at school, she{#blank#}4{#/blank#}exercised. Sure, she wasn't in good{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Her mother took her to the hospital{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a month Because of this, Claire missed a lot of lessons. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}all her classmates were worried about her. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , when Claire was in Grade Eight her life changed. She gave up junk food. She got into the habit of eating healthy food. She liked reading and often wrote something. In 2013, Claire wrote a book about the life of a sixteen-year-old girl. Many children loved her book. As a result (结果), Claire became famous. And she became a great young{#blank#}9{#/blank#}After that people often read her articles on the Internet. Her classmates and teachers were really{#blank#}10{#/blank#} when they read her articles.

    Our town is a great place to live in. It's the best place to enjoy my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} time.

    There are three movie {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. They are all good, but the one near my house is the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.The most popular place for people to hang out is the Shopping Street, so it's really {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is very convenient (便利的) in our town. There are many clothes stores and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of them are trendy, but they are much {#blank#}7{#/blank#} than those in other cities. There are also a lot of video and music {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. They are very popular with students.

    Sometimes there are even street {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Some students think they are boring, but I think they're quite {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. I want to be a street performer, too.

    Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there {#blank#}1{#/blank#}water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

    Probably not. But that's what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a report, the capital, Sana'a, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.

    Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old girl from Lahej, told the Times: "In a good week we'll have the water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for {#blank#}3{#/blank#}."

    Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They {#blank#}4{#/blank#}every day to sell water—at very high prices. "A lot of people can't afford it," she said.

    The government is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
