Do you have to be very smart to live a happy life? The character of McDull (麦兜) tells you that this is not true. He is famous for having a birthmark on his right eye. He is not very clever, but he has a heart of gold. He is also happy, with lots of dreams. McDull wanted to visit the Maldives (马尔代夫). But his mother didn’t have enough money for a trip there. So she lied to him and took him to a place called Hong Kong. The place has a sign that says, “Go to the Maldives”. It made McDull very happy. He thought he was really excited in the Maldives!
The cartoon pig character was created (创造) in Hong Kong by Alice Mark and Brian Tse. McDull is just a common pig. He has many dreams, but they never come true. That doesn’t stop him trying. McDull lives his life in a simple and happy way. His idea towards life is “Never give up”.

Today, I want to write something about my mother. When I had something difficult to do, I often asked my mother for   1   . But she always said, “Do it yourself, dear.” I was not happy about this at all. I thought she was the    2    mother in the world.
For example, one day, I decided to   3  some friends to my home. My bedroom was not in order(整齐的). Books were    4 , and I didn’t make the bed. I asked my mother to help me clean it,  5  she still said, “Do it yourself, girl.”
Because of my “lazy mother”, I had to   6  my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents do   7 .  I even had to go to the dentist by myself. It was really hard for me to do everything well, but I have    8  a lot. 
As time goes by, I understand my mother. She made me clever and diligent (勤奋的) .     9 a great mother!  A   10  mother is worth（等值于）one hundred teachers! Don’t you think so?

When I was a teenager growing up in Russia, I felt studying very boring, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. There were only two ways for me to do this—working in the toy factory in my town, or getting married. I chose the first one. I was nervous when I told my father that I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, “No! You are going to college.” Instead,  he took me by surprise when he said, “OK. We’ll go to the toy factory.”
Two days later, he took me to the factory. I had a very romantic idea of working in a factory. I had imagined everyone to be friendly working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and singing. I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager.
When we arrived at the factory gates, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we went inside. My father said, “Take your time. Look around.” I walked around the factory, looking at the buildings, the workers, and listening to the noise. It was terrible. I ran back to my father and said, “I want to go home.”
He asked me, “What do you think of the factory?”
“It’s terrible,” I replied.
“And you have another choice, but I think getting married is even worse!” he said.
I went back to school the next day. From then on, I studied as hard as I could. Finally I got into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so I decided to major in languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!
