Every time I see people riding bicycles on the street, I always think of the time I used {#blank#}1{#/blank#}on my grandpa's old bike.

    When I was little, my grandpa looked after me because my {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (parent) were both busy with their work. At that time, only a few people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (have) cars. Most people usually got around {#blank#}4{#/blank#} bike. And how did I go to the school then? Yes, I went there on Grandpa's bike! {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the bike was moving forward, it made some funny sounds that made me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (laugh). I always clapped my little hands and sang {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (happy). Grandpa turned back over and over again to make sure my little feet would not get caught in the wheels. Grandpa was so careful {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I never got hurt in his care.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a sweet memory it is! Now, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (study) in a boarding school and I miss my grandpa a lot. I wish I could relive those old days.

    Why do people wear clothes? "To make me warm and to cover my body" will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (probable) be the answer. That's why people wear clothes, but people also want to look attractive and appear {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (success) to others.

    If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In many countries, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for that {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) not the cost of the materials or the cost of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) clothes. The clothes are expensive because they are fashionable.

    Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a suit and several hundred dollars for {#blank#}7{#/blank#} tie. It's still just a suit and a tie, but they pay these prices because of the famous designer.

    Fashion is changing. It means that people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (month) clothes have been worn only once or {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (two). Some people have wardrobes (衣柜) full of clothes, but some of these clothes have never been worn. These clothes are no longer in fashion though they are still new.

    Do you know how to make your kids {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (happy) at home? Let me tell you something {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it. Create an {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (excite) meal, My kids love to help in the kitchen, especially when I'm cooking something really tasty. Older kids can help peel vegetables. Younger kids can roll dough into balls to make dessert. All the time they enjoy {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they). Make a really big piece of art. I buy some brown packing paper from the dollar store(一元店) each about 20 feet {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and as wide as a roll of paper. Kids can use makers to tell a story as they fill in the huge blank paper with drawings of their own. This is much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (interesting) than a coloring book. Go {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (camp) in the living room. You can set up a small tent, or build one from sheets and furniture, then pile in all the pillows you can find to make a comfortable nest in the living room. Eat hot dogs for dinner, and turn {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the lights and tell some ghost stories. Enjoy a movie marathon. Sit on a sofa and watch a movie together on {#blank#}9{#/blank#}cold day. Try finding some {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (fun) movies which your kids haven't seen, or putting together old favorites to create a funny theme.
