I have a clear memory of my grandmother, a woman of quiet strength and endless patience. When I was a child, I often _____8_____ her on her morning walks. It was a time when we could share stories and laughter though she walked with a slight limp.

Our walks often took us to the local park near our house, where the sounds of birds and whispering leaves created a _____11_____ environment.

As I grew older, I began to understand the deeper meaning of those walks. They were not just _____12_____ exercise, but also a bond between us, a way of sharing simple pleasures.

One day, as we were _____13_____, she suddenly stopped and pointed to a flower in the distance. “Look at that,” she said, “its beauty is so pure and untouched.” I looked and saw a

small flower among the weeds. It was a simple yet meaningful moment that taught me to find the _____14_____ in everyday life.

As the years passed, I found myself facing many challenges and I would think of my grandmother and our morning walks. I would remember how she _____15_____ the world with such love, and I would try to do the same.

Now, whenever I find myself feeling _____16_____ or lost, I take a deep breath, change my speed, and remind myself to find joy in the little things, just as she did.

When Sara was in primary school, she found learning Maths very difficult. She often got low scores in exams and felt sad about it. “I can’t do Maths,” she always told herself.

One day, her Maths teacher Mrs. Chen noticed Sara’s problem. Instead of giving her more exercises, Mrs. Chen asked Sara a question, “How do you learn new words in English class?” Sara thought for a moment and said, “I write them down in a notebook and review them every day.” Mrs. Chen smiled, “Why not try the same way with Maths?”

Sara decided to follow the advice. She started a “Maths notebook”. In class, she wrote down every new formula(公式) and example. After school, she went over them carefully. Whenever she had time, she reviewed her notes. Little by little, Maths became easier. She began to understand the rules and could solve problems faster.

At the end of last term, Sara got an A in her Maths exam. She was so happy that she thanked Mrs. Chen. “You didn’t just teach me Maths,” Sara said. “You taught me how to learn.”
