71．例文：
Hello, boys and girls. Today I’ll introduce a story to you. It’s To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow.
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young man couldn’t wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
This story tells us that everything we do in the life, we must follow certain rules and not rush to achieve results. We are also the same in the learning. We must study diligently and not cheat our teachers and parents, as it will harm ourselves.

Newspapers are very important in our daily life. Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world.
