I used to work in an office, which had a Locust tree growing outside the window．It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time．The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull．Unfortunately, this happened to be the room assigned to me, and l was depressed by it for quite some time．
When the first spring came, everything was green except the locust tree．I felt very happy because I had thought it had died!
One morning, when I opened the window for some fresh air, I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office which I could not name．Suddenly, I realized it was the locust tree! The tree that I thought dead was in full bloom!
From then on, I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms, and was eager to see spring again every year．
During summer, the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight, but allowing enough light in to make it pleasant．In autumn, the leaves turned many different colors．Its beauty touched my soul．Many times, I thought to take photos but never did．Then, I had to leave in a hurry．Later in life, it became a great regret that I had not done so．
Actually, many times in our lives we think we own something and thus do not value it．We don't feel regretful until we lose it one day! Moreover, sometimes, we have to accept the things we don't want and need to discover the hidden beauty to find unexpected joy!

Every country has its own culture.
Even though each country uses doors, doors may have 50 functions and purposes which lead to 51 differences.
When I first came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different 52 and they had distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word “ PUSH ” to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word “PULL” to 53 the building. This was new to me, because we use the 54 door in South Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.
The way of using school bus doors was also 55 to me. I used to take the school bus to school. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back door. Students who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on 56 in South Korea. We do not need to wait for people to 57 . One morning I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I 58 tried to get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me. I was totally 59 , and my face went red.
