We went into a secondhand shop to get out of the rain.

I took my 6-year-old daughter’s hand and we started to walk around. Suddenly she reached out her hand to touch a pair of shiny black shoes.

“Buy for me?” she asked.

“Oh, Sweetie, they are tap dancing (踢踏舞) shoes. You aren’t taking tap dance.”

“Buy for me?” she repeated.

“Well, let’s try them on.”

She sat on the floor and took off her bright pink rain boots . When she stood up we heard “click”. She took a step, “click, click, click.”

The sun came out and we went on our way. Our next stop was the grocery store(杂货店).

“Click, click, click…” people turned to look as we went into the store. People would never allow their daughter to wear tap dancing shoes to the grocery store .

“Excuse me, dear. Why would you allow your daughter to wear tap dancing shoes here? They make such a noise.”

“Isn’t it wonderful?”

“Wonderful? My dear, this is not the place to wear those shoes.”

“You don’t understand. When she was a baby, doctors told us that she would never walk or talk. It has taken a lot of hard work and patience, but she asked for the shoes and the ‘click, click, click’ says that she can walk,” I said.

My daughter is 18 now and will graduate from Grade 12 in June. It has not always been easy, but it has all been worthwhile (值得做的). She has taught me that it doesn’t matter what others think. They don’t walk in your shoes.

CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million

people for a year.

Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programme, there were

900 million hungry people all over the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year. So

think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, “Every grain on the

plate comes from hard work.” It tells us everybody must save food.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant

in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. But many people

were by her side and criticized (批评) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening.

Here are some tips:

Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can’t eat all the food you

order, take the rest of it home.

Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. some food may not be tasty, but put body need it.

Don’t keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.
