The boss was sorry to see his worker go and asked if he could build just one more _________ .The carpenter said yes, but it was easy to see that his _________ was not in his work at all. He did his work in a careless way. It was a bad way to _________ his lifelong work. When the carpenter finished his work, the boss handed the front-door key to him. “This is _________ house,” he said, “my gift to you.”
What a _________ ! If he knew that he would build his own house, he would do it _________ . Now he had to live in a poorly-built home. This wasn’t what he thought before.

Then we look at the house we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built for ourselves. If we knew what was happening earlier, we would do things in a different way.
Think of yourself as the _________ . Think about your house. Each day, you do some little things for your house. Build it __________ . It is the only life you will ever have. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day needs to be gracious(优雅的) and with dignity (尊严).

Who do you admire most? |
Jackie, 14 Sofia Marconi, my friend Bia’s mum, is probably the most amazing person I know. She is also very brave. She is a wildlife photographer and she travels to some of the most dangerous places on Earth to take photos of the world’s most endangered animals.

Jacob, 16 One of my heroes is Mr. Donaldson, our great music teacher. He is so creative and finds different ways to get us interested in his lessons. He is also a really amazing guitar player. He is in a band. I’m sure they are going to be famous one day. But I hope it doesn’t happen soon. I don’t want to lose my teacher!

Alex, 15 The person I admire more than anyone is my grandmother Gwen. She is 78 and looks just amazing. Many people think she is my mother when they see us together. She is one of the nicest people I know. She always sees the good in other people. She still does volunteer work for a children’s charity (慈善机构) in India!

Oliver, 17 The greatest person I know is my uncle Jack. I admire him not only because he is a brave policeman but also because he tries his best to look after my aunt who is in a wheelchair and their kids. Life is hard. But I have never heard him complain. He’s always so cheerful with a huge smile on his face.
