I was so careful. I was nervous too. I had taken driving lessons and passed my driving test. I had to pick up my father from work and drive him to the train station. But as I got close to my father’s workplace, I felt more and more confident.

There he was standing in front of his office building. After I stopped the car, he got in. But then, I was nervous again. I had to get the car into the street. With so many cars around, it wasn't easy. After about two minutes of waiting, the way was finally clear.

Soon we got onto the highway(公路). My father was giving me some advice on how to change lanes((车道). Suddenly, I saw a police car behind me. They were pulling me over(令我停靠路边).“Oh no! 'I said.

No. You were going 65 kilometers an hour. You can't drive that slow. You'll cause an accident. When he found out this was my first day as a driver,he smiled and walked away. And that was my first day as a driver.

In the sea there are many islands( 岛 ). In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “coral islands(珊瑚岛)”. A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water.

There is a little round lake inside the island. If you look into the lake, you will see beautiful corals. You may think they are flowers.

If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes(洞)in it. In each of these holes a very small animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.

They begin to build coral under the water year after year, the coral grows higher and higher. At last it grows out of water.

Then the sea brings it to small trees or something else. After some years, these things change into earth. Sometimes the wind brings seeds( 种 子 )to the earth. Sometimes birds fly over it and bring seeds to the island.

The little seeds grow. In a few years there are plants all over the island. In a few more years there are trees growing there.

So you see, the islands are built little by little(渐渐地). The workers are very small. Don’t they teach us a lesson?
