5．When I was a boy，I used to love walking in the woods around my home．My mum warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house．Being a typical boy，however，I soon found myself hiking further and further away，testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost．After losing my way once for two hours，though，I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk．
The very next day I decided to try it．I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight．Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place．I wandered further in and broke another limb and then another．In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough，I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees．After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back．Turning around I easily found my tracks，but instead of being proud I felt sad．I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on．Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again．Instead，I started to cherish my times alone in the woods with nature．I'd sit by the streams and listen to them sing．I'd watch the birds and squirrels．I'd bend down to smell the flowers．And I even buried an acorn or two hoping that one day an Oak might grow．
There is an old Native American Saying that goes"We will be known forever by the tracks we leave．"As I have grown older and wiser，I have done my best to never leave a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day．I have instead tried to leave tracks of love，kindness，goodness，and compassion and I have strived to show others that they can do the same．May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love．

Studying abroad is beneficial to them．First of all，it will open their mind and enrich their experience．In addition，①it is a good chance to learn new culture and make new friends，②which can improve their communication skills（高分句型一）．However，it will take parents a lot of money to send their children abroad．And some students prefer traveling to learning．So it is a waste of money and absolutely not worthwhile．

15．As the only child of my parents，the newest fashions were always in reach for me．I liked having the latest clothes and a particular look．I felt I wouldn't fit in with a certain crowd if I didn't create the right image with my clothes and shoes．As time went by，however，my mother's answer was no longer always"yes"to everything．
One day I asked my mother for a little extra money to go shopping．After giving me a long speech about not spending too much on clothes，she decided to give me a credit card with the intention that I could learn to handle money like an adult．Though she warned me that﹩150 is the absolute maximum I could spend every month，I thought I'd be free．
During the first two months，I only used the card to buy small things．But one day，I bought a pair of boots that cost﹩250．My mother asked me to give her back the credit card．Once she took my card away，things changed a lot．All the things I wanted seemed out of reach．I knew she wasn't going to give me the credit card back or buy me the expensive things I wanted，and consequently I was in desperate need of a job to support my spending habit．
But it was about more than just having the money to support my habit．I also knew my mother was right．
Image was everything to me，and my image was about having what everyone else had．Now that I am older，image is still important to me，but having the latest of everything isn't．I have a lot more responsibility and adult expenses now，so I focus on buying the things I need first and worrying about wants later．This has helped me realize what you wear doesn't make you who you are．
