I touch pocket, found that only 20 yuan, the boss see me the yo-yo very eager to get this, said to me: "well, then, you pay 20 yuan to take it away, remember next time also me three yuan!" I was overjoyed to promise a way: "good!" I pay the money, laugh, while playing, and went home happily.

But then I will left the matter in the brain, until a few days later remembered, I think, for such a long time, may be the boss also forget yourself. With the fluky psychology, from now on every time passing through the door of the little treasure, I go out, more cant go to with the bosss three yuan. However my behaviour has attracted the attention of the mother, mother seemed to see through my mind, asked me: "whats wrong with you? You not all will be ok before to see if there are any in the shop like gadgets? Now look at how?" I immediately looked down to mother said: "oh, oh, the last time I bought a long ball, no bad boss three dollars..."

诚信最珍贵 每天放学，我都要路过宝小门口的小卖部，看看今天里边有什么新鲜玩意儿。有一天 ，我忽然发现小店的货架上出现了个我一直梦寐以求的悠悠球，它发出耀眼的光芒，外壳是金黄色的，里面的绿色的，绚丽的外壳上还写着“光子精灵”四个小字。就是它!我拿着它爱不释手地抚摸着。

这时，小店老板走过来对我说：“喜欢吗?这个悠悠球原价要二十六元，最低二十三元卖给你。”我摸摸口袋，发现只有二十元钱，老板见我十分渴望得到这个悠悠球，就对我说：“那好吧，你先付二十元把它拿走，下次记得还我三元哟!”我喜出望外地答应道：“好的!”我交了钱，一边笑，一边玩，一边高高兴兴地回家了。

然而后来我就将此事忘在了脑后，直到过了几天想起时，我便想，这么长时间了，可能老板自己也忘记了吧。带着这种侥幸的心理，从此每次路过宝小门口，我都避开走，更不敢去跟老板还三元钱。然而我的举动引起了妈妈的注意，妈妈好象看透了我的心思，问我：“你怎么了呀?以前你不是都要没事去店里面看看有没有喜欢的小玩意吗?现在怎么看都不看了?”我立即低下头对妈妈说：“啊、噢，我上次买了一个悠悠球，差了老板三元钱没有不还。。。”我半天才说出了原因，妈妈赶紧给我钱让我现在就去还。

还钱后，我觉得心里舒服极了，我感觉做人一定要做一个诚实守信的人，相倍别人，也相信自己!

This game is divided into two modes: fighting mode and monsters. Fighting modes are fighting each other, and monsters mode is a few people together to kill a giant rubber. Because Chen Haotian rubber is a little small, so, every time he lost soon, but he still loves the game.

Day at noon, we again as usual, eat a meal together play, rubber war play today is monsters model - a giant city in ruins. Results play a mess, noisy.

我的朋友是陈昊天。我和他虽然说不上是什么铁哥们，但关系还是不错的。

他长得瘦瘦的，看起来文质彬彬，很是绅士。他读书很多，属于我们班的读书名人。

他最喜欢玩橡皮大战游戏。每天中午吃过饭，我们就一起玩橡皮大战。橡皮大战就是每个人用自己的橡皮来斗，谁的橡皮先掉在地上，谁就算输。这种比赛分成两种模式：打斗模式和杀怪模式。打斗模式是互相打斗，而杀怪模式是几个人一起杀一个巨大的橡皮。因为陈昊天的橡皮有点小，所以，每次他都很快败下阵来，但他仍然十分喜爱这个游戏。

一天中午，我们又像往常一样，吃过饭一起玩橡皮大战，今天玩的是杀怪模式——巨人城废墟。结果玩得乱七八糟，闹哄哄的。这时王泽宇来捣乱，老是挤我，我说：“没和你玩，请你走开。”他理也不理，又对陈昊天说：“看，这个是炸弹，谁碰我，谁就死!”陈昊天又对他说：“请你走开!”王泽宇嬉皮笑脸地说道：“这是流星雨，砸到谁，谁就死。”陈昊天终于火了，说：“不玩了!”于是，我们只好各拿各的东西走了。你瞧，他发火都很有绅士风度哟。

还有一次，我们玩橡皮大战，陈昊天想起了上次闹哄哄的场景，就对大家说：“请各位把音量调到1——3度，和我现在说话的声音一样。”他的幽默，令在场的同学都哈哈大笑了起来。

这就是我的好朋友陈昊天——一个很有绅士风度，又很幽默的男孩。希望我和他的友谊能越加深厚!

What will our world be like in 20 years.I can’t imagine. It must change a lot. If I meet myself who comes from the future, I will ask her whether my dream comes true or not.

My dream is to become an excellent interpreter. When I was in Grade 1, I began to study English. At that time, I was so excited for learning a new language. Because of English, I know that America is a beautiful and polite country. From then on, I hope I can speak English very well and have chance travel to America some day.

Nowadays, English is widely spoken throughout the world. What’s more, plenty of people have realized its importance. In order to make my dream come true, I try my best and work much harder. I start to watch America drama to practice my English. And I also read some English books now. I talk with others to practice my oral English as possible as I can. But the path to the success isn’t smooth. Sometimes I want to give up. But it’s my dream, I can’t give up easily. Shelley said” if winter comes, can spring be far behind”

On the other hand, with the development of China, more and more people are interested in our culture. Some enjoy Beijing Opera, some study Chinese Kongfu, some even learn to speak Chinese, etc. As a Chinese, of course I will help them to know more about Chinese culture. I want to be an envoy of cultural exchange between China and America. So if I am an interpreter, I will introduce China to the world. I believe if I work hard enough, my dream will come true.
