The middle school days provide me with enough time to read some fantastic stories. Among them the most unforgettable one is The Cop and the Anthem. It was written by O·Henry, a celebrated American writer.
The main characters of the story include Soapy, a cop and a waiter. It tells a story about a homeless boy called Soapy. He develops a lot of actions in order to let the police put him into prison. He fails many times and has to give up. Finally, he decides to be a good boy. Unfortunately, he is caught by the policeman although he does nothing.
I like it because it is full of interesting things. The humorous writing style tells us the society in a special way. I laughed and at the same time I felt very sorry about Soapy.

Teenagers who listen to the same music often have a common look. One hot style in music and fashion is hip-hop. Hip-hop is a type of urban music with a heavy beat. Typical (典型的) hip-hop fashions are loose-fitting street clothes. The style includes baggy (宽松的) pants, sweatshirts, hiking boots, baseball caps (usually worn backward), jackets with sports logos, and expensive athletic shoes. In the hip-hop style, boys and girls often dress the same way.
African-American kids in Detroit and Chicago first made hip-hop fashions trendy (时髦的) more than 20 years ago. They wore baggy street clothes to dance clubs. Then North American and European bands also began wearing like this. Thanks to the popularity of music videos and movies, hip-hop soon became an international fashion.
Teens around the world, from Britain to South Africa to Japan, now wear hip-hop clothing. Seventeen- year- old Melanie Borrow, of Manchester, England, said, "My pride and joy in life are my Levi's jeans." In the United States, teens spend a lot of money on hip-hop fashions. David Bowen, 17, of Evanston, Illinois, has five pairs of hiking boots, each costing around $ 100. David said, "They are popular because a lot of hip-hop performers wear them."

The middle school days provide me with enough time to read some fantastic stories. Among them the most unforgettable one is The Cop and the Anthem. It was written by O·Henry, a celebrated American writer.
The main characters of the story include Soapy, a cop and a waiter. It tells a story about a homeless boy called Soapy. He develops a lot of actions in order to let the police put him into prison. He fails many times and has to give up. Finally, he decides to be a good boy. Unfortunately, he is caught by the policeman although he does nothing.
I like it because it is full of interesting things. The humorous writing style tells us the society in a special way. I laughed and at the same time I felt very sorry about Soapy.

"We did a good job," said Alan Specter, the org3rnizer of the event. "We've planned to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won't be so much trash next time."
The trash came in all shapes, sizes and colors: bottles, .bicycles, batteries, furniture, clothing, plastic bags, dolls and even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs (高尔夫球杆).

That day, it rained a little. All of them wore boots and raincoats. The work took place along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.
No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he'd sell it. Then he'd donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favourite ice cream every day.

The dirty and tiring work was done by two volunteering groups - Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Most of the volunteers came from a local police station and a fire station. And some of them were old people who had already got retired.
That day, it rained a little. All of them wore boots and raincoats. The work took place along a two-mile river with over 500 big yellow trash bags everywhere.
No one found anything that cost much. A five-year-old boy found an earring which he thought might be worth a million dollars. He said he'd sell it. Then he'd donate half of the money to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy his favourite ice cream every day.
Many people laughed at the boy's story. However, it was easily found that the environment there did become better.

Teenagers who listen to the same music often have a common look. One hot style in music and fashion is hip-hop. Hip-hop is a type of urban music with a heavy beat. Typical (典型的) hip-hop fashions are loose-fitting street clothes. The style includes baggy (宽松的) pants, sweatshirts, hiking boots, baseball caps (usually worn backward), jackets with sports logos, and expensive athletic shoes. In the hip-hop style, boys and girls often dress the same way.
African-American kids in Detroit and Chicago first made hip-hop fashions trendy (时髦的) more than 20 years ago. They wore baggy street clothes to dance clubs. Then North American and European bands also began wearing like this. Thanks to the popularity of music videos and movies, hip-hop soon became an international fashion.
Teens around the world, from Britain to South Africa to Japan, now wear hip-hop clothing. Seventeen- year- old Melanie Borrow, of Manchester, England, said, "My pride and joy in life are my Levi's jeans." In the United States, teens spend a lot of money on hip-hop fashions. David Bowen, 17, of Evanston, Illinois, has five pairs of hiking boots, each costing around $ 100. David said, "They are popular because a lot of hip-hop performers wear them."

The middle school days provide me with enough time to read some fantastic stories. Among them the most unforgettable one is The Cop and the Anthem. It was written by O·Henry, a celebrated American writer.
The main characters of the story include Soapy, a cop and a waiter. It tells a story about a homeless boy called Soapy. He develops a lot of actions in order to let the police put him into prison. He fails many times and has to give up. Finally, he decides to be a good boy. Unfortunately, he is caught by the policeman although he does nothing.
I like it because it is full of interesting things. The humorous writing style tells us the society in a special way. I laughed and at the same time I felt very sorry about Soapy.
