“Just keep away from your deskmate.”Abby, my elder daughter, listened carefully as I said, “If she says any more 1 things to you, I’ll go to your teacher. I’ll make sure you 2 have to sit next to her again.”
At that time, Allyson, my eight-year-old daughter, came to 3 us and listened to every word. Neither of my daughters stopped me as I finished my talk, filled 4 “a mother’s wisdom(智慧)”. Then, as I was telling them what I thought right, Allyson’s real words of 5 came out. “Mum,”she said, “I was just thinking. Maybe Abby should be that girl’s 6 so that Abby can bear(容忍) her. In that way, she can let that girl see forgiveness(谅解) and 7 through her.”
Hmm, I became the 8 . At that moment, I realized that I was wearing the “mother’s hat”, but the “hat” certainly didn’t make me 9 all the time. In fact, I wanted to pull that hat over my face and hide 10 so that they couldn’t see my embarrassed(难为情的) look.
“Yes, that’s a good point,”I said, forcing a half smile. “Abby, you can solve the problem in the way that you think is right.” “OK,”she said, giving me a quick hug before walking out of the door and went to school. “Bye, Mum!”Allyson said, 11 her elder sister.
I was left alone—in my slippers(拖鞋). In those following 12 moments I was lost in thought. I did feel 13 my two amazing daughters—small in size but big in heart. Sometimes our children have great lessons to teach us— 14 we are willing to listen.
That lesson came more than ten years ago, and I’ll never forget 15 I have learned from my children. In some ways, children can be our teachers.

Richness was passing by Love in a big boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?”Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love. I will take you.” It was an elder. Love was so excited that she even forgot to ask who the elder was. So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?”“It was Time,”Knowledge answered.“Time?”asked Love.“But why did Time help me?”

It’s very large, more than 264 square kilometres, and it’s the magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s famous for the strange shape of its rocks.
Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, I heard a loud noise, like someone was laughing. I woke up Lingling and her uncle, and I asked them what the noise was. Lingling’s uncle told us not to worry, and left the tent to find out what it was. After a few minutes, he told us to come out quickly. Then he pointed into the forest. It was a monkey. When it saw us, it jumped up into the trees and went back into the forest.
Tomorrow we’re going to Mount Tianzi. I’ll go back next week! Wish you were here!
Love,
Sally

My school trip to the World Park
Hi, my name is Lucy. I’m a student in Grade 8. Last Friday, my classmates and I went on a school trip to the World Park.
To my joy, we met at the school gate at 8:00 a.m. and took a bus there. And we came back to school at 4 in the afternoon.
When we got there, all of us couldn’t wait to get off the bus. In the morning, we made fruit salad and made cards for our friends. In the afternoon, we visited the park and enjoyed a song and dance show.
In a word, the trip was interesting. What a good time we had! I not only enjoyed myself but also learned a lot. If I have a chance, I will go there again.
