And I thought that this was the perfect chance to get the recipe (制作方法), and that I could actually have a time to 2 with him.
Since then, I would go to my 3 early on the morning of New Year’s Day, and we’d make the cake together happily. I was amazed that Grandpa could peel an apple. And we’d mix everything and put it into the oven. Once the cake was done, the house would immediately smell like apples.
But as I got older, so did Grandpa.
One New Year’s Day, as I was taking out the apples from the shopping bag 4 as usual, he looked at me and said, “Sophia, what are you doing?”
I was shocked. I knew that he was beginning to forget things, but I didn’t think he would forget this. It was our 5 . It was our time of bonding (联络感情). My heart ached. “We’re making the apple cake. You know, we always make a cake on New Year’s Day.”
And he said, “Apple cake? Can you teach me?”
Now, I was terrified (很害怕的). Still, I 6 Grandpa in making the cake because I didn’t want this tradition to die. But the whole time it just didn’t feel the same.
Before this New Year, Grandpa was in hospital, and we’d have our family get-together there. To provide a bit of 7 to the family, I decided to make the apple cake at home by myself. But I was 8 the whole time. I was afraid the cake was going to taste terrible because it didn’t have Grandpa’s touch.
At the hospital, everyone was surrounding (围绕) him, creating some 9 . Grandpa looked down at the cake, and then looked back up at me and smiled. And I never forgot our shared moments flooding back to him.
Even though he was in hospital, it felt like we had made the cake 10 .

Hey, I’ll tell you a bad-news story. My name is Mike Hankins. The first eight years of my life were 1 —until my parents told me some bad news.
Let me tell you about my perfectly normal day first. Every morning, my mom wakes me up. When I go downstairs, the unmistakable 2 reaches my nose, making my mouth water. Dad makes delicious food. During the drive to school, we sing along 3 to my favorite music without restraints (约束). After school, Dad and I play football together. Then we eat and tell each other stories about our day.
Well, it’s about time I tell you about the bad news. It’s 4 . A few months ago, my parents told me that I was going to have a little sister soon. I told Mom that I didn’t want a baby sister.

Now can you see why I’m so sad? This is going to 7 everything! For eight years, I have been the center of the attention. The worst thing is that my bedroom won’t be mine anymore. My baby sister will 8 it with me.
Today, Mom and Dad are coming home from the hospital with my new sister. I will just tell them to return her again.
Well, here they are. Dad is carrying a pink blanket (毯子). Is the baby inside there? Before I say anything, Dad is putting the baby in my arms. And then the most 9 thing happens.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t 1 about me. You know that Alice is one of my best friends. If you want to talk with me, you can call 68610598 after 6:00 p.m.
Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will 2 me to do so if I tell you first. 3 I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid any more. I hope I can make decisions by 4 .
At home, there are too many 5 for me to follow: Don’t stay out so late; don’t have meals before 6 hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be 7 teenagers, but we need freedom (自由), too.
I don’t like doing my homework 8 at home. I’d love to study with Alice. We can learn a lot from each other. 9 please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you 10 , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.

The key is to go into 7 . You can start by asking people about their childhood homes. Then you can follow up with “What did your windows look out onto?” or “What 8 woke you up in the morning?”
What did you do on this year’s Double Ninth Festival? Next time you can try an interview with your grandparents. You could learn about what it was like to 9 in the 1950s. You could hear about how technology changed the world. The elderly are full of “ 10 ”. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.

In my opinion, the generation gap (代沟) is a result of our “pride” and “prejudice (偏见)”.

Hey, I’ll tell you a bad-news story. My name is Mike Hankins. The first eight years of my life were 1 —until my parents told me some bad news.
Let me tell you about my perfectly normal day first. Every morning, my mom wakes me up. When I go downstairs, the unmistakable 2 reaches my nose, making my mouth water. Dad makes delicious food. During the drive to school, we sing along 3 to my favorite music without restraints (约束). After school, Dad and I play football together. Then we eat and tell each other stories about our day.
Well, it’s about time I tell you about the bad news. It’s 4 . A few months ago, my parents told me that I was going to have a little sister soon. I told Mom that I didn’t want a baby sister. But it didn’t 5 . My parents believed that I would get used to it and I might even like the 6 . But I doubted.
Now can you see why I’m so sad? This is going to 7 everything! For eight years, I have been the center of the attention. The worst thing is that my bedroom won’t be mine anymore. My baby sister will 8 it with me.
Today, Mom and Dad are coming home from the hospital with my new sister. I will just tell them to return her again.
Well, here they are. Dad is carrying a pink blanket (毯子). Is the baby inside there? Before I say anything, Dad is putting the baby in my arms. And then the most 9 thing happens. My baby sister catches my finger tightly, and she won’t let it go! I think she 10 that I am her big brother, and she likes me already. Maybe having a little sister won’t be so bad.
