The next morning, the little girl took the gift to her father and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”

I blew lots of kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy.”
The father was surprised. He put his arms around his little girl and kissed her. For many years, the father kept the box. Whenever he lost confidence, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of her daughter who had put it there.

One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held a sign which said, “I am blind. Please help me.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and put them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning What did you write ”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was “Today is a beautiful day, but I can't see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing
Of course both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people that to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people that they were so lucky because they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is:Treasure what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is:Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

Mr. and Mrs. Spenser both had very busy jobs and didn't have much time to spend with their young children. They wanted to change this, and because their hobby was boating, they decided to sail around the world together.
It took six years to prepare everything for the trip. First, they bought a new boat. Then, both the husband and wife had to take advanced (先进的) sailing lessons and learn all about the sea and the weather. Mr. Spenser also did several courses (课程) in repairing engines and Mrs. Spenser spent an hour in a restaurant learning to cut up fish.
In October, they had one year off from their jobs and sailed away from England with their two children. The next year, in August, their long journey ended in Australia.
The boat was not big, but they took a teacher for the children with them. None of them found the trip boring because there were three computers, many CDs, a TV and a DVD player on the boat.
The family loved being at the sea and seeing the stars in the sky. But, most of all, Mr. and Mrs. Spenser enjoyed spending time with their children while they were still young.

Do you like hamburgers Do you know how they were invented Now I'd like to introduce you something about the history of hamburgers.
There was no hamburger in the world long before. People ate bread, meat and vegetables. One day a European put several pieces of meat and some fresh vegetables between two pieces of bread. After he ate it,he thought it tasted delicious. So this kind of food was invented in this way. In the 19th century, some people from the City of Hamburg in Germany brought it to America. And soon it became a kind of popular American food. Now many people, especially young people, like hamburgers very much all over the world.

One Possible Version:
In some schools, students begin to use electronic schoolbags in class. Is it good or bad Here are my group members' ideas about it.
Lily thinks an electronic schoolbag is not heavy and easy to carry. We can get information easily. And it also makes us more interested in lessons. Peter says if he uses it all day, it will be bad for his eyes. And he doesn't think it can replace textbooks. Tina thinks it is expensive but it can protect the environment because people don't need to cut down trees to make paper books. In my opinion, it's easier for teachers to find each student's problem and help them.
