A young man was on a train. As the train turned a corner, it slowed down and then a small house came into sight. The house looked so different from the grey big buildings of the city that everybody on the train turned to look at it. Some passengers began to talk about it.
The young man was also interested in the house. He decided to get off at the next station and make his way to the house. The owner of the house told him that he was trying to sell the house, but no one would buy it. The young man decided to buy the house right then and there for $30000. He used it for advertising(做广告)，as the house faced the railway bend(弯道)。 The train had to slow down at the bend, giving the passengers plenty of time to look at the house.

How to Create a Harmonious Community
My name is Tony. I live in Xiangjiang Community. What and how should we do to create a harmonious community
As far as I’m concerned, first of all, it’s important to create harmonious families. We are supposed to show our respect to our parents and follow their good advice. Besides, I think we should spend more time communicating with our families. What’s more, as a member in the community, we should be friendly to each other and give a hand to him or her when someone is in trouble. In addition, it’s everyone’s duty to protect the environment. Therefore, we ought to take care of flowers, and don’t throw away rubbish everywhere.
As long as we try our best, our community will become better and better.
