It snowed again. My seventh Christmas was round the corner. I dreamed of getting the present from Father Christmas until my elder sister dropped the bomb. “ there is no Father Christmas.”

I ran to my grandmother’s house, for she always told the truth. Grandmother was at home. I told____everything. “No Father Christmas?” she was a little____. “Don’t believe it. Put on your coat, and let’s go.”

“Go? Where, Grandma? I asked.

“Kerby’s Store.”

As we walked through its doors. Grandma handed me the dollars and said “Take the ____and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of the Kerby’s.

For a few seconds, I just stood there, holding the money, wondering____to buy, and who to buy it for.

I decided to buy Bobbie a red warm coat____he would like.

That evening, grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons, and____”To Bobbie. From Father Christmas” on it. Grandma told me Father Christmas never let people know that he____ them. Then she drove me over to Bobbie’s home, telling that I was helping Father Christmas____the presents.

Grandma parked the car along the street, and we hid behind the trees near Bobbie’s home. Then Grandma said to me. “ All right, Father Christmas get going.”

I took a deep breath, rushed to his front door, put the present down____the door, rang the doorbell and flew back to the safety of the____and Grandma. We waited breathlessly in the dark for the front door to open. Finally, it did and there stood Boobie.

My favourite great book is The adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(冒险). He runs away with his friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave and finally they find a box of gold.

My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his town funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.

Tom is the hero of the story, but there are another important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him . Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.

The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished(惩罚)for bad behavior.

Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19thcentury, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on--read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.

At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowed and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.

First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars-it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!

Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us？ There is no answer now.

There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.

Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways, People will have more space. Living in allergen building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robot will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.

There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called "e-teacher".

However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same-meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
