When shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me, if it zips (拉上拉链) , it fits. My mom, however, usually says I need a bigger size.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When mom told me something didn’t suit me, or that I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.
To avoid arguments (争吵) , we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged(订婚) and I needed to find a wedding dress(婚纱) .
I could have just bought it alone, of course, but my mom is my favourite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed as frightening as taking her with me.
And so the day came, As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful.” she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.
This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mom didn’t say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. At that moment, all those arguments we’d had while shopping in the past were laid to rest. We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more, which I would never have predicted.
A few weeks and many shopping trips later, we found the perfect dress. And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship.

“I will pay you anything you ask.” Wayde said.
“Don’t give me anything now, but promise to pay me $ 10,000 when you become Prime Minister (首相) .”
Wayde laughed. “That’s impossible,” he said. “I shall never become Prime Minister.”
“Who knows.” Manningtree said. “Give me a week, and I’ll see what I can do.”
A week passed. Then, Manningtree came to visit Wayde again. He brought with him a small bottle.
“I cannot find out how to make more of this medicine,” he said, “but you can have what’s left. I don’t need it anymore.”
“That’s very generous of you,” Wayde said. “How can I ever thank you ”
“Just take one small drop of the medicine once a month.” Manningtree said.
Wayde took the bottle from his friend. Once a month, he took one small drop.

“You can certainly have it if you want it.” Wayde said. “But that is not the reason I have come to see you.”
“Oh And what is the reason " Manningtree asked.
“I have almost finished the medicine you gave me,” Wayde said. “Have you found out how to make it ”
Again Manningtree laughed.
“Oh, yes,” he said. “I have known how to make it for a long time. I knew how to make it when I was at school.”
“What do you mean ” Wayde asked.
“My dear friend and Prime Minister,” Manningtree said, “the medicine I gave you was just a bottle of distilled water.”
“But the color.”
“Oh, I added some coloring.”
“Then, the medicine did me no good,” Wayde said.
“It didn’t need to. There was nothing wrong with you. All you needed was to have confidence in yourself.”

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in the city I lived. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre, 1 was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and the life in this awful place.
As I walked down the empty street under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. “Run!" I told myself and began to do so, both to keep warm and keep away from any possible danger.
About a block from my flat, I heard a noise behind me. I turned quickly , but the street was empty. The noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. I didn’t realize what the noise had been until I reached my flat. It had been my wallet falling to the street.
I wasn’t cold or tired any more. I ran back to where I had heard the noise. Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard a rubbish truck stop next to me. A voice called from the truck driver, “ Alisa Camacho ” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name The door opened and a man jumped out. “Is this what you’re looking for ” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.

Good morning , everyone !
I'm Wei Hua from Class1 ,Grade 9. I'm happy to be here to
share my ideas. I think happiness is achieved through hard
work.
Firstly, helping others will make us feel happy. For
example , we should give our seats to the elderly when we take a
bus. After we see their smiling faces, we must be happier too.
Secondly, healthy bodies can bring us happiness. Health is
important to everyone. Only when we keep healthy, we can
work and study happily. So we should keep on doing exercise
every day.
Thirdly , knowledge makes our life colorful and interesting.
In our free time, we are willing to learn different kinds of skills
(like computer and art) so that we can serve the society better.
Finally, the beautiful environment gives us a comfortable
feeling. We should plant
more trees to protect the
environment. We also work as volunteers and clean up the
parks.
That's all. Thank you!
