Every child has his own dream．Every child hopes to be an adult．However, is it truly like what they imagine? As a boy who lives in modem times and in a modern city，I feel greater pressure on me with the city’s development．Although we seldom worry about money, we still have a lot of others such as competitions among classmates and expectations from parents．These experiences are very helpful to our future．But in fact，they really give me a lot of pressure．I still clearly remembered the happiness of my childhood．Unluckily，we had to face the fact with time passing by．We began to feel this invisible(无形的)pressure come upon us．We get up before sunrise and return after sunset．we work and study like an adult，even harder．What we do is to get an excellent mark．Oh，growing up is completely boring．We must try to find happiness while growing up．I think the friendship among our friends，the support from our parents and the encouragement from our teachers can help us．Why not enjoy the pleasure of growing up and its delicious taste?

    A man went to the house of a rich man. He saw a bag of apples by the roadside. He thought, “I don’t want to eat those apples, because the rich man will give me a lot of good food.” Then he took the apples and threw (丢掉) them away into the dust(垃圾堆).

    He came to a river. The water in the river was very deep(深) and he couldn’t go across the river. He waited for some time and then said, “I can’t go to the rich man’s house today because I can’t cross the river.” So he began to go home.

    He had nothing to eat that day. He was very hungry when he came to the apples. He was glad to take them out of the dust.

    Don’t throw good things away, you may be glad to have them sometimes.

I’m Jack, and I am a middle school student. Yesterday was the most exciting day in my life. I was on TV! This is my first time on TV. In the evening, Mum, Dad and I were watching a TV programme in the sitting room and there I was! This is how it happened.

I was playing soccer in the park with my friends when a man and a woman came to us. The man had a camera. The woman had a microphone. “I’m from Channel 9,” she said. “Do you know the programme Kid’s Speak Out?” I did know it. I watched it often. It’s a weekly programme where kids say what they think about different things.

“Would you like to be on it?” the woman asked me.

 I wanted to be on it and I thought my friends might also want to be on it, so I asked, “Can my friends be on it too?”

“Sorry, only one of you can,” the woman said. “You can talk about it and decide which of you is going to be on the programme.”

I asked my friends if they wanted to be on the programme. They didn’t, so I went on it. The woman asked me a lot of questions. I thought carefully and tried to give sensible answers. When she finished, she said I was one of the best kids she’d spoken to! I felt very proud of myself. My mum and dad were proud of me too!
