Sunday, October 16th Fine
Today was one of the best days of my life, as I did a skydive (跳伞) for the first time.
I was really nervous when I got onto the plane and it began to fly higher into the sky. All my family and friends were waiting in a field down below. To stop myself from feeling afraid, I had to keep telling myself why I was doing it .
I decided two weeks ago to take part in this skydive for charity because I wanted to raise money to build a library at my local school. I asked everyone I knew to sponsor (赞助) me. People were very generous. Since then I have spent hours every day learning the skills.
It was not long before the day arrived and I was walking onto the plane. It seemed hours had gone by as we started on the runway and took off into the clouds, but it can only have been a few minutes. The teacher checked everything for us one last time before opening the door. The cold wind rushed in, and I felt my heart beat faster. Finally, it was my turn to jump. The teacher then put his hand on my back and pushed me out of the plane!
Suddenly, I was falling through the sky. I was probably around three kilometres above the ground and going at a high speed. The plane disappeared in a few seconds, and I was completely alone, with the ground getting closer and closer all the time. It may seem a strange thing to say, but I felt as if I were a bird and quickly forgot all my worries and fears.
After around 30 seconds, I pulled the cord of the parachute (降落伞的绳索) on my back. I felt it pull me upwards as it opened, and then I began to float downwards to the ground below. Soon I landed in a field where my family were waiting.
It was exciting to fall through the sky, but I was also very happy to have my feet back on the ground again.

Every cloud has a silver lining
Paul was a rich young man. When his father died, he left Paul a beautiful forest manor ( 庄 园 ). Unfortunately, before Paul could sell it for a lot of money, a lightning strike (雷击) caused a fire that destroyed it. Watching the beautiful green trees turned into ash (灰烬) overnight, Paul felt his heart was broken.
In order to bring back the forest manor's beauty, Paul tried to borrow money from a bank. But the bank refused him, for the bank didn't believe he'd pay it back. Then he felt too upset to eat or drink. So he hid in his room for days. His wife was worried about him and suggested he take a break outside.
Paul went for a walk. When he turned the first corner, he saw a store with a huge crowd. It turned out that the housewives were lining up to buy charcoal (炭) used for winter heating.
Then Paul's eyes lit up. He ran home and hired some charcoal workers to make the forest's burnt trees into charcoal.
As soon as his charcoal went on the market, it sold out quickly. Soon, he sold more than 1,000 boxes of charcoal.
The following year in the spring, he used the money to buy a large number of seedlings (树苗). After a few years, the forest manor that everyone thought had disappeared came to life again.
