My only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant beating out Miller King, who was the (good) player in our school. On my (thirteen) birthday this year, I promised I would make it come true.
Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I (carry) my football everywhere for practice. Just before September, Miller was struck a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very pale, but he didn't cry.
That season, I broke all of Miller's (record) while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10:11 I was named "Most Valuable Player", but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame (责备) for Miller's accident.
One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and (see) Miller in trouble climbing over a fence which wasn't difficult to climb if you had both arms. I'm sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept help from. But even that challenge he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence. When we were (final) safe on the other side, he said to me, "You know. I didn't tell you this during the season, but you did fine job. Thank you for doing the job for me."
His words freed (解脱) me from (I) bad dreams. I thought to myself how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was still ahead of me. I was right to have respected him. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.
Last June, when my mother told me she had planned a four-day visit to Dubai with me, I was very excited. Tourists from all over the world come to see the sights in this amazing city and experience its culture.
On our first day, we visited the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. It is 828 metres high and it holds several records. After that we visited the Arabian Desert. The next day, we visited the Palm Jumeirah, the world's largest man-made island. The island is made from all natural materials (材料) because the Prince of Dubai wanted to give it a more natural look. The island itself looks like a palm tree from above, with one main strip(条) of land and 16 strips, 8 on each side. They all come from the middle, and make the island appear like a palm tree.
Dubai is home to the world's largest shopping centre. So on the third day, after a short boat ride away from our hotel, my mother and I spent the whole day shopping there. We returned home in the afternoon the next day. It was a fantastic trip.
