One day, the old man came up with a plan. He called his sons and said to them, "Look, my dear sons: in the land we have at the farmyard, there is lots of hidden gold. If you should work together, you may find it”

  In a wish to find out the gold, his sons worked hard from the morning to the evening digging and digging all through the land. The days had passed, but they didn't find what were they were looking for. They got frustrated and angry. They decided to give up and returned to ask their father.

   “There is no gold in the land. We are cheated.”

“Since the land has been dup soft. Why don't you pant some crops there?”was the reply of the father to the sons.

  Off went the sons. Soon the whole once-useless land was rich crops.

  “This if the real gold, my sons.”Said the now proud father.

    My name is Nick. I have four new good friends. They are Dick, Helen, Jack and Amy. Now, they're in the garden. Dick and Jack are boys. Dick is tall and strong. Jack is tall but he's not strong. He is thin. Helen and Amy are girls. They're twins. They are short and slim. Dick is thirteen. Helen is thirteen too. They're in the same class. Jack is in Class4. His shoes are black and his T-shirt is white.

    My best holiday trip is one to Fraser's Hill in Selangor. It was the school holidays and my parents had booked a small house on top of the hill just one and a half hours' drive from our home.

    We started early in the morning by car. My brother, sister and I sat in the car excitedly thinking about the cool weather and the walk in the wood. We arrived at Kuala Kubu for breakfast. It was a little town that had many old buildings.

    Further along the way, we stopped at the lakeside to take pictures. Along its banks were some villages. The journey up the hills was interesting with tropical rainforest(热带雨林).

    Finally, we reached the Gap where we were allowed to go up to Fraser's. When we reached the town centre, a strange clock tower, old police station, and cute golf course greeted us. We stopped for lunch at a Chinese food restaurant. Then, we got to the house we booked.

    It was eating, sleeping, or playing cards all day as it was raining. We looked cool in our jackets as we walked along the road for dinner in town that night. It was dark when we went back. We were excited using our torches(手电筒). The next day was spent at the waterfalls 15 kilometers away and walked near the town. We had lunch at a Hainanese restaurant before checking out at 1 pm. People there were very friendly. We thanked them and said goodbye to the cool place before we made our way back to the polluted city.

Most of us might want to do some great things to help others in need. But I found it's not completely(完全地)right.

I'm Wang Ling. This is a true story that happened(发生) to me last Sunday. That day, I planned to go to a bookstore. On the bus, I found that I only had a five-yuan note(纸钞). The bus driver didn't want to wait for me and was going to leave.

Then I looked around and went up to a grandma for some change(零钱). "I'm sorry," the grandma said. "I have no change, either." Just then, I really didn't know what to do. 

"Come here! I can help you," a young man smiled and said. He looked friendly. Then he gave me one yuan. When I was going to give my five yuan to him for the one yuan, he said, "I'm happy that I can help you. You don't need to give me the money. Just keep it."

With thanks, I put that warm coin into the money box on the bus and then sat near the young man. Yes, he seemed not to help me a lot. But his sunny face and kindness were always in my heart.

I'm Alice from a small town not far away from Nanjing city, Jiangsu Province. The 1 has a population of only 3,000. I always hoped to visit Nanjing, and my dream 2 finally. 

My family went to Nanjing to visit my uncle last 3 morning. My dad drove a little 4 because we wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery (风景) along the way. It took 5 about 2.5 hours to get to my uncle's home. My aunt and uncle made a lot of 6 food for us. It tasted very good. 

On Saturday afternoon, my cousin Betty took me to visit Nanjing University 7 underground. It was my first time to take the underground so I was a little  8 . The university is very big and beautiful. Betty 9 to study there last September. And it is my dream to study in the university 10 . Then we visited Confucius Temple (夫子庙). My uncle told me Confucius is a great thinker of ancient (古代的) China. There were many 11 coming to the temple. In the evening after dinner, we walked around the Qinhuai River. Its name was Huai River over 2, 200 years ago. It is said that the 12 was channeled (被引导) to the city of Nanjing during the reign (统治时期) of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. That's 13 it was named Qinhuai River. Its night scenery 14 so beautiful that we didn't go back home until it was very late. 

Next morning after breakfast my dad drove back to our home 15 he had to work in the afternoon. I really had a nice time in Nanjing.
