During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong asked Feng Deyi to look for talented people. However, several months passed, he didn’t find anyone.
“I tried my best, but there are not unusual people at all.” Feng said.
“People are like tools. What we need to do is to make good use of their talent. You should check yourself for not noticing talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our country ” said the emperor.
It is really true that each tool has a specific use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to pick up food. We can’t use a knife as chopsticks. Like a tool, each person has a special talent. Nobody is perfect. We can’t expect a person to be good at everything.
With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people. He offered them important positions, which helped them make the most of their talents The talented people helped the society develop. A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong gave him a high position and promoted him many times. He helped deal with difficult problems and became a famous person in history. During that period, the important people around Emperor Taizong, such ag Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng Li Jing, all were the brightest and the best of the time with their own strong points.
Emperor Taizong’s talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”.

During the Qin Dynasty in China, there was a boy named Han Xin. He was born in a very poor family and often had nothing to eat. He often went fishing but almost caught nothing. He was always hungry.
One day, Han Xin was fishing at the river. An old lady saw that the boy was very thin and looked hungry. She gave him a bowl of rice.
“Thank you so much,” said Han Xin as he bowed down to the old lady. Since then, every time Han Xin met the old lady at the river, he never went hungry. Han Xin was very thankful to the old lady. “I will find a way to pay you back someday,” he said.
“Why do you promise so much when you have nothing ” she said. “I give you rice because I feel sorry that you don’t have anything to eat. I don’t expect you to repay me. If you are a real man, you will find a way to support yourself.”
When Han Xin grew up, he became brave and kind. He joined the army and then became a general. And later he became the “King of Qi” and the “King of Chu” in the Han Dynasty. He did many good things and helped many people.
Han Xin never forgot the old lady. He went back to the village and took her to his palace. Han Xin bowed down to her and gave her a bowl filled with gold.

五．例文
Yesterday, I read a story about Sima Guang. One day, he and his friends were playing happily in the garden. They were having great fun. In the garden, there was a big vat filled with water. A boy climbed up a tree to play. Suddenly, the boy fell into the vat by accident.
Another child noticed this and shouted, “Help! Help! He has fallen into the vat!” The other children were scared. They didn’t know what to do. Some of the children ran out of the yard to get help. But the vat was filled with water and the boy could not breathe in it. So Sima Guang did not run out to ask for help. He picked up a big stone and hit the vat. The vat broke and water flowed out. The boy was finally saved.
I think Sima Guang was very smart and kind through this incident, and from this story, we should learn that when we are in danger, we must calm down and find a solution.
