My neighbor is a doctor. He and his wife are some of the1people I have ever met. A few years ago, we started this kind of "favor war" where one of us would do something kind for the other, such as2the driveway or building a shed, and next time the other would3to top it with another favor.

    Yesterday morning, it snowed heavily and I remembered he shoveled (铲) my driveway for me. So I took out my shovel and took care of both our driveways and sidewalks because it was my turn to do a favor4. It took a while but I finished it and got into my car for work.

That night I got a5on my door, it was my neighbor. He immediately shook my hands and thanked me for shoveling his driveway and sidewalk, so that he was able to get to work earlier and6a boy.

    "As soon as I started the car early this morning, a call came through that a young boy in our neighborhood was seriously ill.7, my partner and I were only about 2 minutes away, but the closest ambulance 10 minutes," added he. "A young boy got to live his life because you did me the favor."

    It wasn't too much8to shovel a driveway, but what I did got a young boy to see his family again, go back to school again and live his life again.9favor is too small. Even the smallest favor can make the biggest10. One favor will always be followed by another.

My name is Maisie Hall and I have five brothers and sisters! Life in our house is fun, but it's difficult, too.

On school days I get up very early at 6:30 a.m. I have my breakfast first. After breakfast I take a shower and get dressed.

At 8:00 a.m. we go to school by bus. School starts at 8:30 a.m. and we go home at 3:00 p.m. After school I don't watch TV. I clean the house for my mom and play with my brothers and sisters.

We have dinner together at 7:00 p.m. My baby brother goes to bed at 8:00 p.m. and my other brothers and sisters go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Then I can study!

From 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. I do my homework and read a book. After that I brush my teeth and go to bed.
