随着电子商务的发展，网上购物成为一种新的购物方式，越来越受欢迎。许多市民可能现在通过网上商店。

Generally speaking, shopping online offers lots of advantages with its convenience the most prominent. There are many commodities on the internet where you can search whatever you want. Besides, you just click the mouse can you get all information you want, so that you don’t have to go to the shop personally.

However, everything has two sides. You can not see the products or check their qualities and some of the sellers on the Internet is not so honest. And, for those who enjoys shopping around different stores, shopping online perhaps will make them boring.

然而，任何事物都有两面性。你不能看到产品或检查他们的品质和互联网上的一些卖家不诚实。并且，对于那些喜欢在不同的商店购物，网上购物可能会让他们无聊。

In my opinion, shopping online has more advantages than disadvantages, and with the improvement of e-commerce, there will be more people to shop on the Internet.

在我看来，网上购物的利大于弊，而且随着电子商务的发展，将会有更多的人在网上购物。

I’m a dog lover, because dogs are tame, friendly and easy to communicate

with. I have kept one in my house, whose name is Chocolate. She is covered with

brown curly hair and looks like a Teddy Bear. Now we have been living together

for two years, so I’m very familiar with her characteristics. When she is

hungry, she often barks loudly. At that time, I begin to realize that it’s time

to feed her. She is keen on beef and fish. Sometimes, she also eats some

rice.

Every day when I come home, she always jumps up to me happily, with her

tail moving. She seems to be my best friend. As time goes by, the relationship

between us becomes closer and closer. Therefore, I think her as an important

member in my family. I really have the pleasure of her company.

Someone asks me what on earth happiness means? I cant give you the exact

definition of it, but Im sure if you love and help others, youll get it.

Ill never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. Its said

that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life

is!But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is

always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living

nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind

smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is

full of laughter and love.

But Im sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways.They

speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy

themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at

that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have lost their

personality.

Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness.

Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make you yourself get it.

Every year, June 7th and 8th are the big days for high school students,

because they will take part in the college entrance exam, which is considered

the exam to change their lives. The media give full attention to these students

and many moving incidents have been reported every years. Such as the students

who went to the wrong classroom and in the last few minutes, the policeman

helped them reach the right destination. Parents are also the targets that catch

the medias attention. Many parents are waiting outside while their children are

doing the test. When the students meet trouble during their ways to the

classrooms, people will do what they can do to help them without asking for

return. It is so nice for these people who offer help in this great days. They

are the loveliest people in the world.

Almost all of us heard the story “ Here Comes the Wolf “ when we were

little kids. What we can learn from the story is that we must be honest.

However, there’re lots of phenomena of dishonesty nowadays.

Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also to

yourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for example. After drinking this

kind of milk, the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still

thin, which badly affected their health. To our great relief, the producers got

accused and punishedfor all the serious consequences in the end.

Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other people

trust you, which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities that

others may not get. Being honest, you will find it easier to cooperate with

others and people will be friendly to you and support you. In a sense, if life

is a long journey, honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along all

the way.

Let’s pick up our “ backpack “ —honesty, and start the wonderful

journey!

Welcome to Hangzhou. I am Li Yue, president of the Student Union in my

school. Id like to briefly introduce the Hangzhou Public Bicycle Service to

you. Our city insists to protect the environment, so we began to use the Public

Bicycle Service to reduce the traffic stress in 2008. There were 65 thousand

bicycles for people to use in daily life. In general, more than 8 million people

have to use them every year.

Some people think they are very useful and believe they will make our

society more beautiful. Others think they are not convenient enough. As far as I

can see, reading a bicycle is so interesting. We can take exercise with it.

Meanwhile, Our environment get protected. Lets go into action!

I have a big family, there are seven people in my family, my mon, dad, two grandpas, two grandmas and me. My dad is soldier, he works in police station. My mom works in the bank, she is an accountant. They both are very busy in working, I can only play with them in the weekend. My grandpas and grandmas dont work for company, but they are volunteers and often take me to do the voluntary labor.

I am in Grade three in Yuanling elementary school, my mom always tells me I am a good girl and should study hard and get along well with all my classmates.

In the weekend or holiday, my family often go out for travelling or other things, I feel very happy with all the members and love them very much.

Today, I was so excited because I finally became a high school student,

which meant my life came to a new chapter. On the first day, my parents went

with me to school. They brought my luggage and helped me to finish the

registration. I was so impressed by the slogan that was tagged on the main gate,

which was Help Your Parents Carry Luggage. When I saw those words, I realized

most of us carried nothing at hand, but our parents did the job. We are almost

16 and not a little kid anymore, so it is natural for us to learn grow up and

become independent. Taking luggage is just a small symbol for us to be

independent. We need to complete all the things by ourselves in the following

three years. When we can handle our stuff by ourselves, we are mature.

Dim lamp, I looked at the cup of tea, boiling water, the impact of time and

time again, let me feel the fragrance of tea. That bitter taste in his mouth, a

point slightly sweet, but also by my greedy mouth to the occupation, and eyes

dim, hazy outlines of the memory, can no longer be hazy memory already.

Work as much as “cook a meal,” a playful little, the teachers serious

“inhibition” the laughter of the Miao, the pressure of the heavy, “created” in

the dreams of us - growing pains. Open the heavy book of memories, that little

thoughts, perhaps tired of back and some memories back.

“At first” arrive, I am a fragile being “enemy” aimed at the

“vulnerability” opened a fierce shot, that vulnerable, I, in the “blood” at the

expense of ground could be a “sleeping inside burning the midnight oil to see

volume, Dreaming rang Beishi ”and I once again stood up. Those days are dark,

puzzled me, and learn and sometimes I have to find a seat has not yet withered

and yellow grass, and sometimes a desk, windowsill side to see the rows of trees

standing in the distance is hard, for the only be able to issue a final touch of

Brilliant Green. What are those trees? I have no way of knowing what effect this

relationship? As long as they are trees, would be sufficient. When I looked at

them a daze, the heart will be a myriad of thoughts, when my eyes back to the

tree when the mood suddenly see the light, the pressure disappeared and instead

engaged in learning among busy.

Raising the worlds largest kindness, than their parents. Is worth we use to cherish life, with a sincere heart to appreciate, with practical action to gratitude.

"The sheep have knelt milk, crow has righteousness". And people also should have the thought of filial, dont wait until the desire filial and affection, eventually left the life of a big allready tried, want to dont regret in the future, from now will be grateful parents from around things, return for parents. Returns are also not necessarily material rewards, is more of a spiritual and emotional. Even overseas, study abroad, we point to with a grateful heart. As the century old ba jin said: "I am spinning silkworm mulberry leaves to eat." Silkworm paid, also obtained, get the praise and admiration of people.

Parents are the first teachers for our lives, from the moment a child is born, his life was poured parents endless love and blessing. Perhaps, parents cant give us the luxury of life, however, they gave the irreplaceable - life in a persons life

Parents for their children to hold up a piece of the sky of love, when you get hurt, cry, sad, sad, you can always come back here, enjoy the love of parents. Thanksgiving parents, even a small thing, can let them feel gratified. I remember CCTV has broadcast a public service ads: a little boy, struggling with a basin of water, naive said to his mother: "mom, wash feet!" Is such an AD today, still hit, its relieving feelings and moving heart, dont know how many people infected with. Many people whose tears, not to a lovely boy, also for that one to the deep love, and from the heart of gratitude to the mother.

The classmates, let us learn to be grateful parents! With a grateful heart to treat their parents, with a sincere heart to communicate with their parents, dont take it for granted that their parents do anything for us, they brought us to this beautiful world, is great enough, and will we raise, thanked, silently pay for us, we dont blindly to demand their pay, institute of Thanksgiving, with a grateful heart, grateful parents!

世上最大的恩情，莫过于父母的养育之恩。值得我们用生命去珍爱，用至诚的心去感激，用切实行动去报恩。

“羊有跪乳之情，鸦有反哺之义”。而人也应有尽孝之念，莫等到欲尽孝而亲不在，终留下人生的一大遗撼，要想将来不后悔莫及，从现在就要从身边的小事去感恩父母，回报父母。回报也不一定非的是物质上的回报，更多的是精神上的、情感上的。就算是远渡重洋、留学海外，我们时刻要怀揣着一颗感恩的心。正如世纪老人巴金所说：“我是春蚕吃的桑叶就要吐丝。”春蚕付出了，也获得了，得到的却是人们的赞美与钦佩。

父母是我们人生的第一任老师，从一个孩子呱呱坠地的那一刻起，他的生命就倾注了父母无尽的爱与祝福。或许，父母不能给我们奢华的生活，但是，他们给予了一个人一生中不可替代的——生命

父母为子女撑起了一片爱的天空，当你受伤时，哭泣时，忧郁时，难过时，你可以随时回到这里，享受父母的爱。感恩父母，哪怕是一件微不足道的事，都能让他们感到欣慰。我记得央视曾播过的一个公益广告：一个小男孩，吃力的端着一盆水，天真的对妈妈说： “妈妈，洗脚!”就是这样的一部广告时至今日，仍在热播，它的感情动人心腑，不知感染了多少人。很多人为其流泪，不止为了可爱的男孩，也为了那一份至深的爱，和发自内心对母亲的感恩。

同学们，让我们学会感恩父母吧!用一颗感恩的心去对待父母，用一颗真诚的心去与父母交流，不要再认为父母是理所当然帮我们做任何事情的，他们把我们带到这美丽的世界，已经是足够的伟大，且将我们养育成人，不求回报，默默的为我们付出，我们就别再一味地索求他们的付出，学会感恩，怀着一颗感恩的心，去感恩父母吧!

In every year the end of June, it is the beginning of my precious summer holiday. Last summer, I had a great holiday. Firstly, I spent only a week to finish all my summer homework. Then I have still almost two months to do anything I wanted. Actually, I really did what I wanted to do in last summer. I traveled to beijing with my best friend for 2 weeks. We were so happy and the trip was just perfect. In the rest of my holiday, I did not do anything even related to study. Everything is all about games. However, I will not have a chance to spend my summer holiday like the last one. There is much more homework that I have to use probably three quarters of my holiday to finish it. If there is not so much homework, I might have my ideal summer holiday in this year. My ideal holiday is that go to the beaches in México with my family. For about a whole month we can completely relax in the beautiful beach. In the morning, after the delicious México style breakfast, we can walk along the beach while enjoy the beautiful morning sunshine. In the afternoon, we can have the freshest seafood for lunch. After lunch, take a nap in the sunshade would be the best thing to do. At dusk, there is the most gorgeous sunset on the sea... I love the beach, I love summer holiday.

在每年6月底,我宝贵的暑假的开始。去年夏天,我有一个愉快的假期。首先,我只花了一个星期完成我所有的暑假作业。然后我还近两个月来做任何我想要的。事实上,我确实在去年夏天我想做什么。我去北京和我最好的朋友2周。我们是这样的快乐,只是完美的旅行。在我的假期,我没有做任何事情甚至相关研究。一切都是关于游戏。然而,我不会有机会花我的暑假喜欢最后一个。有更多的家庭作业,我可能不得不使用四分之三的节日来完成它。如果没有这么多的作业,我可能会在今年我理想的暑假。我理想的假期是去海滩和我的家人在墨西哥。大约一个月我们可以完全放松在美丽的海滩。早上,美味的墨西哥风格的早餐后,我们可以沿着海滩走,同时享受美丽的早晨的阳光。在下午,我们可以拥有最新鲜的海鲜午餐。午饭后,睡午觉的遮阳将是最好的办法。黄昏时分,有最美丽的日落在海面上……我喜欢海滩,我喜欢暑假。

Last year’s Spring Festival is special. My uncle and my aunt came back from Shanghai. My family were very happy to keep the Spring Festival with them. And it was the most exciting festival of all the festivals.

On New Year’s Eve, my father and my uncle talked about their work together. My mum did some cooking with my aunt Grandparents and I watched the New Year TV programmes. At about six o’clock, we had a special family dinner. We all thought the dumplings were delicious.

On the first day of the New Year, we visited our relatives. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Jiefanf Road. My uncle bought some Jay’s CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the road. It was more alive than any other time of a year.

On the second and the third days, we spent a wonderful weekend in the country. There were much bigger trees than in the city. And the animals were more beautiful than in the city. We all enjoyed ourselves.

I had an interesting Spring Festival. How about you?

The Chong Yang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is as such known as the Double Ninth Festival.

Climbing mountains: On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. The Double Ninth Festival is also the Old Men Festival. Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.

Origins: The festival began as early as the Warring States Period (475 - 221 BC). According to the yin/yang dichotomy that forms a basis to the Chinese world view, yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, hence the name Chong Yang Festival. (Chong means repeat in Chinese.) The ninth month also heralds the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and filial Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would then be burnt as offerings.

Family get-togethers: The Double Ninth Festival is also a time for family get-togethers. It is an occasion to remember one‘s ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent. Often, family outings are organised during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm their love and concern for family members and close friends.

In the courtyard of my hometown, there is an old phoenix tree that has been

with the town for decades.

Indus trees are not as slim as maple trees, nor are they evergreen like

pine trees. It is just a tall and thick tree with a plain appearance, but it

gives a sufficient sense of security. Relying on it, you dont have to worry

that it will crumble like a skinny maple, and you dont have to worry that it

will "pin to pin" to you like a pine tree. Its sturdy body is always waiting for

your support; its smooth skin wont hurt you in the slightest.

Sycamore tree, just like mother.

In the hot summer, my pleasure is to enjoy the shade under the tall plane

tree. Its lush leaves will divide the dazzling sunlight into small pieces and

sprinkle it down, which is also warm on the body. Leaning on the trunk and

looking up, the plane tree is really featureless, and its ordinary appearance is

incomparable with those beautiful scenery elsewhere. However, in my eyes, only

it is the most beautiful. Its beauty is not in appearance, but beauty from the

inside out. Only when you experience it and experience it with your heart will

you discover it.

When I was a child, because the adults in the family were busy with work,

no one could play with my brother and me. So I got into the habit of liking

being alone. When the adults were busy going out, I led my brother to sit under

the plane tree and waited for the adults to return. Laifu would sometimes lie

quietly beside us, waiting for us. Every summer, such a view is the most

beautiful.

Time passed quickly and we all grew up. The sycamore tree is also getting

older. When I went to see it again, nine years had passed in a trance with the

wind. Its branches were cut off a lot because it blocked the newly built small

building, and it seemed to have grown taller. The leaves were not as green as

before, and some of them were yellowed, which seemed to have a different kind of

beauty. Just like my mother, it is getting old day by day.

I stood on the roof, the furthest away from it, and stroked its smooth

body. I dont know, maybe it does. This time Im not coming back just to see it,

this may be the last time we see each other. what is the reason? It was probably

because the house was going to be renovated, and the tree blocked it. In fact, I

still have a lot of words in my heart that I want to tell it, and I watched it

quietly, and thousands of words came to my mind, but in the end, it came to my

lips and became silent. I looked at it, just like that quietly, at this moment,

it was the scene in my eyes. Is it beautiful? No. But it will always be etched

in my heart.

Perhaps, it is not a tree. Instead, its a playmate of mine. Bring me joy,

support, help, warmth.

The autumn wind blows, and a yellowed leaf dances in the wind. It still

seems to be nostalgic, until the last moment, it will always stand here,

guarding us. Protect us with everything that is kinder than a pine tree and

taller than a maple tree.

Goodbye, sycamore tree.

Dear Susan,

I am sorry to hear that you have decided not to go to college. I am writing

to trying to persuade you not to do that. The reasons are as follows.

First, education has a long-lasting influence on our future. No one can

ignore the fact that well-educated people usually perform better in their career

and enjoy a better life. Second, we all meet certain difficulties in our lives

and what we should do is take up the challenges and trying to overcome them.

Third, you can apply for a student loan or take part-time jobs to earn some

money. Of course I will trying my best to help you too.

In short, I hope you can accept the offer from that college.

Yours,

Li Hua

Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of Henry

Wadsworth Longfellow s poem -- A Psalm of Life: "In the worlds blood field of

battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in

the strife!"

Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical "hero in the strife". He was not only

one of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As a

deaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life,

though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music. Another example

of persistence in struggle is Deng Yaping. She once said that her technique came

from continuous training, emphasizing the importance of daily practice to a

player.

As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailiug against the current. I must

make an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being driven

back. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness.

Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven and Deng Yaping, I shall take

great pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman in

the rough sea of knowledge.

There have been a lot of ways of acquiring knowledge. And the number is

increasing unexpectedly owing to the popularization of modern mass media.

However, reading books has always been the major and convenient approach to

knowledge. One may acquire most of his knowledge through reading books, since

they can be carried easily and read leisurely everywhere at any time. Another

equally important means of acquiring knowledge is through practice, especially

learning from others. It is unlikely for a person to get all-round knowledge by

merely reading books. As a matter of fact, genuine knowledge comes from

practice.

Although books and practice are indispensable to the enrichment of one’s

knowledge, other means shouldn’t be turned aside. With the development of IT

industry, people tend to hunt for knowledge by means of Internet. Internet is

changing people’s traditional approaches to knowledge. It has found its way into

every field of the world.

People have hobby is varied, novel and wonderful, have prosaic. My hobby is not novel, but a wide, even the parents often plaint. And in this great hobby, I still have a special liking to reading.

Love reading also from seven years ago. Thats naughty I didnt love reading, but on one occasion, from toys pile was found in a book is opened. Curiosity prompted me to look down. All of a sudden, I was immediately beautiful illustrations in the book and the wonderful content to attract. And open the floodgates, from now on, I will fall in love with reading.

Grew up, understand more and more, I love reading, watching every day, a day watching less all not line, become a real bookworms. To this end, I still made a joke! Remember once, my mother let me boil water, boiling water, I picked up a book, taste with relish to read the contents, get carried away. As a result, the kettle was burnt out, full of smoke. At this time, the mother saw it, he asked me what happened. When I return to god." Oh, no! Wheres my water? "This picture to see me, mother helplessly sigh: alas! You little bookworm! How many times have I told you..."

Although I because reading by mistake, but I still love reading. Because from the book, I learned many knowledge,ve learned a lot, know many friends: the ugly duckling, the happy prince, the Monkey King, lu xun, bing xin, Edison... Reading is to improve my writing level by a lot!

Now, the book became my daily necessary nutrition, life without books, like a bird without wings, life without books, like life without sunshine, a book is the ladder of human progress, book is the source of knowledge!

I love reading, because reading makes my life rich and colorful, make my life full of sunshine!

人的爱好多种多样，有新奇绝妙的，有平淡无奇。我的爱好虽不新奇，但广泛得连父母都时常感叹。而在这众多的爱好之中，我还是对读书情有独钟。

爱看书还得从七年前说起。那是贪玩的我并不怎么爱看书，但有一次，从玩具堆中发现了一本被翻开的书。好奇心促使我看了下去。一下子，我马上被书中那精美的插图与那精彩的内容给吸引了。而且一发不可收拾，从此，我就爱上了读书。

长大后，懂事的我越来越爱看书了，每天都要看，少看一天都不行，成了一个不折不扣的“小书虫″。为此，我还闹出了笑话呢!记得有一次，妈妈让我烧水，烧水时，我便拿起一本书，津津有味地品读书中的精彩内容，看得忘乎所以。结果，水壶被烧坏了，搞得满屋子烟。这时，妈妈看见了，就问我怎么回事。我这时才回过神来。“糟糕!我的水呢?”妈妈见我这副模样，无可奈何地唉声叹气：唉!你这个小书虫!我提醒过你多少次了……’’

虽然我因为看书误了事,但我仍然爱读书.因为从书中,我学会了许多知识,悟出了许多道理,认识许多朋友：丑小鸭、快乐王子、孙悟空、鲁迅、冰心、爱迪生……读书还使我的作文水平提高了不少呢!

现在,书成了我每天必需的营养品,生活中没有书,就好像鸟儿没有翅膀，生命没有书,就好像生活没有阳光,书是人类进步的阶梯，书是知识的源泉!

我爱读书,因为读书使我的生活丰富多彩，使我的生命充满阳光!

After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody .

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it lea一ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the sa一vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His hea一ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain …

Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.

I read the book then watched the movie, both of them ga一ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never ga一ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don’t like Meggie’s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn’t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn’t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn’t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.

Tell the turth I don’t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn’t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not ha一ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .

Frank is my fa一vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn’t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn’t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn’t belong to himself, it’s really a pity .

Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie’s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie’s fa一vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie’s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.

I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie’s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank’s father that distoryed his life. His father didn’ t give him freedom, and Frank can’t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn’t control himself and broke the law.The energitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn’t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world…it is really a pity.

As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph. Meggie was an excellent girl, she was able to find an outstanding boy to love her, but she put all her love on Ralph even she married Luke. She married Luke just because Luke looked like Ralph. Meggie wanna be a thorn bird, but I think it was too cruel to her. She was so kind that she shouldn’t stand that king of pain, and I think she was born to ha一ve a happy life. I pity for her.

Both the story of thorn birds and the legend are painful and beautiful, but not every one can be the thorn birds, because it is not our porpose to ha一ve a painful life. We are born to be happy. Olny happiness is the ture meaning of life while the story was written for us to enrich our life. It is a wonderful story.

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.
