One day before my final exam, my dad gave me a gift. It completely changed my life.

    On that day I had a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with my friends and it was a difficult time with my studies. I was unhappy. Then I noticed the gift. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it and saw a DVD inside. Its name was “THE SECRET”. However, I was in no mood (心情) to watch it. I sat down to study, but the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in my life—the fight, the sleepless nights and my poor health … Everything came to my mind. I wanted an answer but I wondered {#blank#}4{#/blank#} there was any. Just then, I saw the DVD again. Maybe it would be helpful. I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my DVD player. I had no words to describe the feelings I experienced while watching it. The moving stories of human beings made me so moved that I wouldn't {#blank#}6{#/blank#}any of them.

    Thanks to my father's gift “THE SECRET”, I discovered {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Everybody has difficulties in their lives. The important thing is that you should be {#blank#}8{#/blank#} enough to face them. Now I have started {#blank#}9{#/blank#}my studies and my friends. And I'm in good health, too. I often hear people say, “Wow! {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a perfect life you have!”

    Thank you{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the card and money you sent me for my birthday. I used the money to go to the zoo with my friend, Mario. It was the most interesting day! You know that I'm taking{#blank#}2{#/blank#}after school{#blank#}3{#/blank#} I'm too quiet. Well, Mario is in the{#blank#}4{#/blank#}class with me, but he really wants to become an{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. He is much more{#blank#}6{#/blank#}than I. He acted like a{#blank#}7{#/blank#}while we were waiting to get into the aquarium. He was so good that people started asking for his {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. I bought a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}as a souvenir, then I could take{#blank#}10{#/blank#}with it!
