When I was in primary school, I got into a big argument(争吵)with a boy in my class. I forgot what the argument was about, but I will never forget the lesson I learned that day.

I thought that I was right and he was wrong -and he thought that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson.

She brought us to the front of the class and asked him to stand on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large,: round ball. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the, ball was. "White,” he answered.

I couldn't believe he said the ball was white, when it was obviously(明显地)black!

Another argument started between us, this time about the color of the ball.

The teacher told us to change places and then asked me what color the ball was. I had to answer "White". It was a ball with two differently colored sides, and from his side it was white.

From my side it was black.

Going to the Library

The library is a great place to visit for help with schoolwork. It opens up new worlds, makes you imagine, encourages reading and helps you in school and in life. But the library isn't just about reading and learning. You can have fun in the library, too. Some libraries hold fun events for children, such as story telling, making things and book hunting. And when you, to your library, there is always someone there to help you find what you want. That someone is a librarian.

You can ask your librarian to help you find books about any subject that interests you. Libraries have books about everything from planes to zebras. If you like to read fiction(虚构小说), your librarian can suggest(建议)adventure books, fantasy books and many more. If you are having hard time finding an answer to a question, ask your librarian to help you find the answer. Your librarian can help you locate(定位)information in magazines and newspapers, and on the computer.

Libraries are also great places to go if you want a quiet and relaxing place to read or study. They have areas with cozy chairs where you can curl up(蜷缩)and read a book. They also have tables and chairs where you can work on school reports. And most libraries have lots of bright reading areas, so you won't hurt your eves by closely looking at that tiny print.
