When I was four years old, I wanted nothing more in life than to play the piano． My best friend Betty had a piano． But Betty hardly played it at all． She would rather play hide-and-seek． It didn’t seem fair．
One day my mother came to pick me up from Betty’s house． “Watch this!” I told her． Then I ran to play a song I had learned that morning． I was so proud of what I’d learned． “That’s nice, Jenny,” she said． “But we can’t afford a piano．”
When I turned six, my mother bought me a recorder（直笛）． The problem was that I didn’t love the recorder． When I played the recorder, I didn’t feel anything special inside． I asked my mother if we could have a piano． “We still can’t afford one,” she said． “One day, I promise．”
In the sixth grade, my mother traded in the recorder for a real clarinet（黑管）． I like the clarinet more, but it still wasn’t a piano． It wasn’t the music that was inside of me．
One day, when I was in the seventh grade, my mother cut an ad out of the newspaper． We drove to a stranger’s home in Providence, Rhode Island． The woman had a beautiful, dark wood piano from Russia． It was called an upright piano because it was tall． It was so shiny that it looked like it was wet． “We’ll take it,” my mother said． “It has a nice sound．”
After that, I played the piano every single day．When I left for school in the morning, I would leave the sheet music open on the piano． When I got home, I would walk straight to the piano and sit down and start playing the sheet music． I even played if I stayed home sick． I had finally found the music inside of me．
Do you struggle with music Have you been given an instrument to play, but you just can’t play it Maybe you think you’re just no good or that you don’t have any musical talent． Don’t get discouraged． It’s not true! We all have music inside of us, even if it’s just what we listen to． Now it’s up to you to find the right way to set that music free．

I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters —— other bottles full of water. I felt really happy.
Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was cold, but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me. Then she threw me into a dustbin. I have never felt so empty and lonely in my life.
Early the next morning, a man took me out of a dustbin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many bad smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat. I can’t believe how thin I became.
I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had bad smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with something.
