There are just three of us in my family: my mum, my dad and me. I've got many possessions and many modern things: a big TV, a new computer and a mobile phone. In my family life, I'm not expected to do the housework.

We go out for dinner together sometimes, but my dad is often abroad on business, and my mum works too. We usually just do our own personal things. My parents don't usually set rules for me, and since I'm a good daughter, they never punish me. Recently, we moved to a new flat and I like it very much. It's much bigger than our last one. But I feel very lonely when my parents are away from home. I hope they can spare time with me. I seldom feel happy in my family.

一Emily

I live on a fruit farm. We have lots of pear trees and some apple trees. I have to help my parents all through the year.

The busiest time is in late summer, when the fruit is ready to be picked. At this time of year, we usually get up at 4:30 in the morning, start picking at 5:00 and carry on working until late afternoon. My mother would bring lunch for us to have under the trees. At the end of the day, we are all tired and sleepy. It takes about five weeks to pick all the fruit every year.

At night, the fruit would be carefully packed into boxes and then put onto trucks. The trucks take it to the markets to be sold. Sometimes we ride in the trucks to the city. For farm boys, that is a very exciting time. Tired though, we are very happy to be with family and share the happiness.

It was an early spring morning. I was driving home down a quiet country road. Suddenly. I saw a rock up ahead in the middle of the road. As I slowly went around it. I noticed that it had a head and was looking up at me. It was a turtle(龟). It was sitting in the sun to warm up.

I stopped to the side of the road and picked it up. I knew if I moved the turtle off to the side of the road it would just move back to the warmer place as soon as I left. What if it was hit by a car?Not knowing what else to do. I carried it to my car.

When I finally got home, I picked it up again and went to the forest behind my house. After looking around a bit, I saw a clear place. The sun was shining down on a rock. I slowly put the turtle down on it and took a few steps back. A few minutes later the head slowly came out and started enjoying the sun once more. I smiled and went back to my house. My simple act of kindness didn't seem like much in the eyes of the world, but it made a difference in the life of one turtle and in the heart of one man.
