I'm Linda. I live in Oxford with my parents and sister. There's a second hand shop near my home. Although it's old, it looks nice. People give away their unused things to the shop. The shop then sells them at a low price. All the money is used to help poor people living in our city. It is open from 8：30 a．m. to 4：30 p．m. My mother always shops there on weekends.
In front of the shop, there is a very big box and people can put their old clothes in it. The shopkeeper comes to take the clothes out before she starts working every morning. Then she will put tags on the clothes and try to sell them. I am always curious about what is in the box. But there's a sign on the box that says, “Only the shopkeeper can take the clothes.”
One day after school, on the way back home with my sister, I decided to open the box. The first thing I saw was a beautiful dress. “I can wear this to my friend's party，” I said to my sister. My sister said in a serious voice, “You can't take it. That's not yours. That should go to the second hand shop.” “But no one is around. They will never know who took the dress，” I held it in my hand and refused to put it down. Then my sister said to me patiently, “Let me explain it this way. If everyone is like you and everyone breaks the rule and takes clothes from the box, how can the shop help others The shop needs these clothes to help people in need.”
Hearing this, I knew I was wrong. I put the dress down and went back home with my sister.

Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape.Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries.They easily break down when they face difficulties.They don't know what to do when they are in trouble.They have a common name—strawberry kids.
Why are many students so easy to break down Parents and schools are a main reason.Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personalities (个性) .
Liu Yue，13，is from Fujian.His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself.When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad.He began to doubt his ability.
Students should do something to make themselves mentally strong.An expert said, “When you are in trouble, don't ask for help too quickly.You should try to deal with problems first by yourself.I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities.That can make you mentally strong.”
Growing up is not just a happy process (过程)．Pains also go along with it.The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

三、　　I was on a safari holiday. It was a really beautiful place, and very quiet. One evening, at about six o'clock, we went for a drive in the tour bus.
There were twenty of us. Well, we soon saw some elephants. They were drinking at a pool. So we got off the bus to take photos. Anyway, suddenly a large elephant started looking very angry. Then it walked towards us. The guide told us to run back to the bus as fast as possible. So we did, but the elephant followed us. Then the guide got into the bus and drove away very fast. We were really quiet and calm because we didn't want to make the elephant scared. But it wasn't a nice experience and we were happy to get back to the hotel that night.
四、　　Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of the laws here.
The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy wine or beer if you are under 18 years old.
Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means. But please don't make unpleasant noise, especially at night.
Thirdly, crossing the street. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use crossings and don't take any chance when crossing the road.
My next point is about waste. It's against the law to throw away rubbish in a public place. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in the dustbin.
Finally, smoking. It is against the law to buy cigarettes if you are under 16 years old.

How to Communicate with Our Parents
Communication with parents is one of the first things we have done since we were born. As we grow older, we'll find it's not easy to communicate with our parents openly and effectively. So what should we do when communicating with them Here are some of my ideas.
Firstly, we can make a list of things our parents and we disagree about most. Try to find out the reason why we disagree with each other. Accept each other's ideas little by little. If we still have disagreements, we'd better not get too angry. Secondly, we should talk with them more! Sharing ideas can make us closer. Besides, we should also learn how to really listen. Listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced. Finally, be sure to be polite. We are a family in which everyone is loved and cared about.
