One day, my best friend, Xiao Ming, introduced a piece of rock music to me. We both liked it very much. So when I got home, I couldn’t wait to listen to it. I lost myself so deep in the music that I didn’t pay attention to the volume. Just then my mother shouted at me, “Do you have to turn up your music so loud?” I was surprised and had to come back to the fact. I found my father looking at me angrily, who was working at the desk. My young sister covered her ears with hands. I disturbed them. So I had to turn off the radio. I knew I made a big mistake, but I wish they could know how I love this piece of music.story of picture 2
One evening, on my way home I met a little girl who was crying by the roadside because of not finding her mother. So I took her to the nearby police station. With the help of the police and me, the girl got home safe. However, when I got home, Father said angrily, “I told you to be home by 6 o’clock.” Mom also shouted, “Where did you go?” I felt so sorry that I couldn’t help crying. They didn’t give me even a chance to explain. I hate the way they treat me!story of picture 3
One day, I heard that the famous superstars ‘S.H.E’ have come to our city to give performances. I am the fan of them. I was eager to get their signatures.

You should spend more time on your studies.” Even though I wanted to attend the concert very much, I had to stay at home. Today I still regretted about it.Story of picture 4
