Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village, though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

    Flynn McGarry, a 14-year-old American boy won the prize from "the country's hottest cook".

    He began cooking four years ago and wanted to cook as much as he could do it. After looking at all these cookbooks and going on the Internet, he thought he could be successful one day. McGarry said. "Every time I try it, I hope to keep getting better and better. I just fell in love with it."

    He said his mother's cooking was another reason for him to cook. He didn't quite like his mother's food, so he decided to try something simple. He started cooking for himself. He began practicing his knife after school.

    Then，he started making dishes for a few of his mother's friends. Soon after，he made more delicious and expensive dishes for famous restaurants in America. When his skills in the kitchen got better，he was able to cook his way through most of the cookbooks. He has worked in top restaurants across the country.

    The young man has a strong passion（热情）for cooking. He even turned his bedroom into a place like a kitchen. You can't see any video games，basketballs or movie posters.

    McGarry's mother is happy with him and she fully supports（支持）her son. She said，“He showed such interest for this that it was a right choice to do what he loves. ”

    "Keeping on your passion and hard work certainly pays off in the end." said McGarry.

    I look at Grandma, and I don't know what to do.

    "Go! Go! But come back with some wood and some fruit," she says.

    "Ok!" I say, and I run out of the door and down the street out of the town. I follow an old track and it leads me towards the hills. Suddenly I see the nursery in front of me. It is like a sea of green. There are all kinds of trees and a very big vegetable garden. I step inside the gate. It is quiet here, safe from the wind and it smells so good.

My name is Jack. I am fourteen years old. I have many friends. Most of them are as old as me. Some are older than me and some are younger. 

My best friend is David. He is also fourteen and he comes from the countryside. We live in the same neighborhood now. We are in the same class. He sits behind me. David is good at math and he often helps me with my math homework. I often help him with his English homework. He is poor in English, because he never studied English before. 

David is 1. 7 meters tall. He is taller than me. I am only 1. 6 meters tall. We both have brown hair, but David's hair is longer than mine. 

David is a little thin, but I am heavy. I don't like sports, so I don't get much exercise. But David likes sports very much. He often asks me to play sports with him. 

After school, David and I play soccer for half an hour in our neighborhood. Thanks to(多亏) David, I am healthier than before. 

We help and learn from each other. We are good friends!
