we knew it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to come together for a huge birthday
celebration at the nursing home.
Dad was a good storyteller. But this time I told Dad that it was now his turn to listen to some stories for
a change. One after another, people told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes. People
recalled kinds of stories ----stories about when they were little, stories about when Dad was young, and stories
that shared family treasures.
Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn't wait to tell Dad why
they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life, here was a change
to tell him how much we love him. A few months later, at Dad's memorial service, we more fully realized
what we had given to Dad that night. Those are the stories people normally tell at a funeral (葬礼) after a
loved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories, full of tears. But we had given those memories
to Dad in his life, and we had told them through laughter, together with hugs and joy. He had them to hold and
enjoyed them from time to time in his mind during his last days and months.
That's the ways to give back love and that's our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life.

We Want the Best! We did a survey of things that interest young people today. This is what they told us. Most of the cafes in town are good, but The Turk’s Delight, the newest cafe to open here, is the most popular. It is also the most expensive, but the coffee is the best and the chairs are the most comfortable. What’s more, the music they play in the cafe is the best. The cell phone that everyone wants to buy is the V-Phone. This is the coolest phone around because it is like a computer. It has the most extras. You can take photos, make videos, check your e-mail, and of course, make phone calls. And what video game is the best today? Well, everyone agrees it is Viper Boy. It has the best graphics (图画), the most realistic (栩栩如生的) sound and the most interesting story. | ||||||||||||

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live green life. Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce means"use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. Reuse means"use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again. Recycle means"change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees. | |||||||||||||
