Tears come out of my eyes when I talk to my parents on the phone. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} This is what I want to know most. I have supper at 5 o'clock in the dining room. Now it is the busiest time for my parents.

    In my family, everyone is equal. We are very happy to have meals together. Mum says that the happiest time for Dad and her is to see my sister and me come back home. We play cards in the room, watch TV and do anything we like, with Dad and Mum preparing delicious food in the kitchen. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I forget all the difficulties and unhappiness at that time.

    Jason Weiner is a cook in New York For the past four years, he has offered a "Meatless Monday" menu at his restaurant. The idea is to encourage people to eat more vegetables. To do this, he relies heavily on a vegetable everyone is familiar with: cauliflower.

    Over the years, his cauliflower dishes have enjoyed huge popularity.

    Weiner, in fact, isn't the only cook experimenting with the vegetable. Cauliflower used to be boring. It was something to buy only when there was nothing else on the shelf. Now, however, it's "taking on a starring role," says food writer Elena North-Kelly. Across the United States, sales of cauliflower have grown rapidly for two years. On the Internet, DIY cauliflower recipes(烹饪法) have been viewed thousands of times each.

    Cauliflower can be cooked in many different ways. It can be roasted-like a steak. It can be sliced into a sandwich along with other vegetables. The hottest recipe is cauliflower "rice.” The dish is made by mixing the flower part of cauliflower and then lightly cooking the pieces in oil. The "rice" is rich in vitamins C, K and B6, and very low in calories(卡路里). No doubt it has become very popular.

    Unlike other healthy foods, cauliflower is almost always in season. That's because it can be grown everywhere, throughout the year. The vegetable also sells at a low price.

    A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt hopeless at the time. He ended his letter with this question "We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we?" I replied to him and started my own letter with these words, "Yes, we most certainly can!"

    I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was a music teacher at my primary school. She was good at playing the guitar. I wanted to impress her. However, I didn't know how to play any instrument.

    One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best, but could only stumble along(断断续续). When I had done, I put my head down. "I guess I am not very good, "I told her. She looked at me with her kind eyes, smiled at me and said, "We are all good at something. You just need to find out what you are good at. Then, you can share it with the world."

    Those simple words changed me. They planted a seed(种子)in my soul that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside me. I just had to find it and share it.

    Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it through one choice. one person, or one kind act at a time. All you have to do is to share your goodness. Mother Teresa once said, "God doesn't ask us to do great things, only small things with great love." So make your love great!

    Hello, everyone! I will tell you something about my trip to the U.K.

    When I got to London Heathrow International Airport, I began my visit. First, I went to a senior high school. I was happy on the first night there because I lived with a kind family, the Whites. It was a big family. They were very friendly to me. They helped me do many things. When I wanted to write to my friends, they let me use their computer. When I lost my camera, they helped me look for it.

    After some days, I went to another two schools. I lived in the Smiths' house. There were four people in the family. I was surprised that the parents were from two countries.

    It was a nice trip and I was happy to be with the two families. They would be my friends forever.
