Have you tried painting by numbers Paint-by-numbers is a picture which has many parts with numbers. This has made it easier for people to paint because they only have to paint in each part with its color.
Dan Robbins is the inventor of paint-by-numbers. After World War Ⅱ, he worked for Palmer Paint. Working in the paint company helped him make the first paint-by-numbers. The idea came from Leonardo da Vinci. While painting, da Vinci often divided the picture into different parts and numbered them, so his students could complete the painting later.
Robbins used this idea and decided to make something that everyone could enjoy. He shared the idea with the manager of the company and got his help.
After working hard for some time, Robbins created paint-by-numbers. At first, sales of the product were low. But in 1951, after a show in New York, paint-by-numbers became very popular. In 1955, sales reached 20 million dollars. Paint-by-numbers is not only popular with children, but adults also enjoy it in their free time. Dan Robbins retired（退休）in 1973 and died in 2019. Till this day, his paint-by-numbers is still popular around the world.

I will never forget a girl student sitting at the back of the classroom. Having failed the college entrance examination and changed schools twice, she couldn't smile naturally.
Life is harder for senior high school students. Every time when the scores came out, her scores wouldn't be the first but the last. Dark clouds always flashed in her eyes. When I invited her to the teachers' office, we never talked about studies or scores but jokes.
The exam results finally came out and she did pass! Since then she had never been heard from again.
Two days before the Spring Festival Eve, I was shopping in a supermarket. Suddenly an excited voice came into my ears, "Hello, Mr Deng." I looked up and she was doing her part-time job during the college vacation. From her happy face, I could see she was busy but happy. "Mr Deng, I am in the second year of my college. You helped me get through my darkest time. Thank you."
At that moment, I realised how important it was to give a bit of care to those in need. Your each gesture or word may mean a lot to someone.
