Emma June 17 at 8:15 Amsterdam The train ride to Amsterdam was a long one. It gave me time to write some postcards to send back home. Amsterdam is a fun city, full of friendly locals and tourists. I spent the whole day visiting the art museums here. The museums are historic and filled with beautiful arts. I also took a boat ride along the river. Emma June 19 at 21:20 Travelling alone, I have been very careful to keep safe. Luckily, I am in Copenhagen, Denmark, and I am told that it is one of the safest places in the world.

I used to have little passion (激情) in my life . But what happened the other day changed my mind . It was then that I learned how important it was to have passion in life.
One day, I went home from school in Mom’s car. When Mom stopped at a red light , someone on the side of the road attracted(吸引) me. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛的). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me because I had seen many people like him before .Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.
But this man was different in some way. He was not sitting down with a sad expression. Instead, he had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music . The radio seemed to be the most precious (宝贵的) thing he had. “ Mom, why does the homeless man have a radio ” I asked .
“He bought it.”she replied,“ But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes He paid for something that he didn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important .”
That man must have loved music so much that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes . I soon realized that passion is the key to life.
Meals , clothes and something like these things are only part of life . We all need a joy, a light in a dark day.
We all need passion to keep going no matter what situation we are in .

Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller and smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. Of the 900 thousand pet cats in this country, about two—thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that thousands of birds are killed by these cats each year. Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife, it’s also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks(攻击)from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually can’t live past the age of five.
Keep our pet cat inside! If we raise a young cat, it's our duty(责任) to let it play inside. Also, another duty for us is to keep others safe.
