It was one of the honest days of the dry season. There was no rain for about a month. Cows stopped giving milk. On this day I saw a wonder.

I was making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son Billy walking very slowly to the woods. Minutes later, he ran to the house. Soon after that, I saw him walking to the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.

Billy cupped(窝成杯状)both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head to drink the water in my boy's hands.

When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy turned it on and let the water slowly fill up his "cup". When he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes were filled with tears. "I'm not wasting water, Mum," he said. I joined him with a bottle of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood meters away. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops… and more drops... as if the sky itself was crying.

For convenience(方便). plenty of people prefer having a takeaway(外卖)to cooking at home. Now there is an app through which people can enjoy delicious and cheap takeaway food.

Too Good To Go, an app being used in the UK, allows users to order leftover(剩余的)food at a low price from restaurants. The purpose is to cut down on food waste, as lots of restaurants usually throw away the food that can still be eaten at the end of the day.

Users just need to pick a restaurant and pay through the app. Then they pick up their food at planned times usually around closing time or after peak (高峰期的) meal times.

"Food waste is one of the biggest problems we have in this world," one creator of the app said. "The restaurant industry is wasting about 600,000 tons of food each year." By the end of August, Too Good To Go had helped save about 600 meals in the UK.

Users also have the choice to give meals to people who are in need by donating one British pound or more through the app. By the end of August, more than 1,100 meals had been donated.

Too Good To Go isn't the first app to try to deal with food waste. In Spain, the Yo No Desperdicio app allows people to exchange leftover food with each other. In the US, the Food Cowboy app allows food shops to sell "ugly vegetables" that most customers don't buy to charities and food banks that need them.

Adolescence(青春期)is a very important time in one's life. During the time, a person's character is being developed. Parents play the main roles in teenage life. What they say and do have a great effect on their children, and even decide the children's future. So parents need to pay attention to right education.

First parents should treat their children as grown-ups. In parents' eyes, no matter how old their children are, they always treat them as babies. So they will be easy to make every decision for the children. Then the children will be rebellious(叛逆的)and don't want to talk to their parents, because they think there is nothing in common between them.

Second, parents should encourage their children. As parents always treat their children as the babies, they will deny(否定)their children’s ideas all the time. It is wrong to do so, parents should encourage their children and lead them to have their own thinking. It is better to let the children realize their mistakes by themselves.

Teenagers' education is of great importance, and parents should do it in the right way.
