Take a Moment to Really See
I was driving to a meeting and I was planning in my mind what I was going to say. I came to a very busy crossroads but the stop light just turned red. "All right，" I thought to myself. "I can beat the next light if I race ahead of the line."
Suddenly my thought was broken by an unforgettable sight（情景）. A young couple, both blind, were walking am-in-arm across the busy crossroads. They couldn't see. Cars were running by in every direction. Each of them held a white cane（手杖） which helped them to cross the road.
I was moved. They were fighting against blindness. "Wouldn't it be terrible to be blind?" I thought. My line of thought was quickly broken by what I saw: the couple were not walking in the crosswalk， but into the path （路） of oncoming cars. I was frightened.
But I didn't see an accident. Something wonderful happened. Every car in every direction came to a stop almost at the same time. Suddenly a driver stuck（伸出） his head out of his car and shouted, "To your right. To your right!" Other people followed, shouting, "To your right!" They all wanted to help.
Without a stop, the couple changed their direction. They trusted their white canes and the help of some caring people. They came to the other side of the road safely..
I have thought of this situation many times since it happened and have learned something from it. "Slow down and smell the roses." Do yourself a favor as you walk through life. Take time to look around and really see what is going on around you right now. Maybe you are missing something wonderful.

An Essay on Charlotte’s Web In Charlotte’s Web, by E.B. White, a pig named Wilbur gets a chance at life thanks to a little girl named. Fern, and a spider named Charlotte. The writer shows that a real friend will help you even if he or she has nothing to get from doing so. Throughout the book, Charlotte is always willing to help Wilbur. She spins (吐丝) words into her web to save Wibur’s life, even though it is tiring and difficult for her. Charlotte is a true friend. She helps Wilbur for one reason only—because she cares about him. Templeton, the rat, on the other hand, is not a real friend to Wilbur. Templeton is only willing to lend a hand when there is something in it for him. When he is asked to help save Wilbur’s life, he says no at first, saying, “Let him die.” Later on, he agrees to help, but only because he wants to keep eating Wibur’s meals. At the end of the book, Wilbur shows that he has learned the true meaning of friendship. He helps Charlotte by taking her egg sac back to the barn, where he knows her babies will be safe. He does this deed not for selfish reasons, but out of concern for his friend. In Charlotte’s Web, the author shows that a real friend will help you even if he or she has nothing to get from doing so. Reading this book made me realize how important it is to help others. Being a good friend means being there when you are needed. | ● The book title is italicized (斜体). ● In the introduction, you can write a short summary of the book. ● You can share a theme from the book. ● You can give an example that illustrates the theme. ● After that, you give details (细节) about the example. ● A 2nd example and the details. ● A 3nd example and the details. ● You can also explain what the theme means to you. |
