Dear Sir or Madam,

I don't like doing chores. But I have 1 choice（选择） to do them 2 doing chores is a rule in my family. When I come back from school, my mom always says, "Could you take out the rubbish?" or "Could you help me 3 cooking?" I know she is just trying to make me more independent and teach me how to 4 myself. But why does she make me do all the housework? Oh, I know I am the oldest and I 5 do the chores. But it's not 6 for me. My sister should do them, too.

Yesterday I did all the chores again. My parents went to visit my aunt with my sister in the morning. They left me 7 at home because I had to do my housework. After I finish my homework, I found it was really a 8 at home. They didn't do any chores. So I cleaned the rooms, 9 the dishes and watered the garden. Oh, I must look like a servant（仆人）.

What should I do? I hate doing chores all alone. Could you give me 10 advice, please?

    Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.

    One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat beside her.

    "Mom, is there love between you and dad?" I asked in a very low voice.

    With surprise in her eyes, he stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread. It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is quilt, love should be a thread .love is inside."

    I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

    After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day .They were so kind to each other and it seemed that they were the happiest couple.

    After two months, my father still couldn't walk by himself.

    "Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.

    "Susan, don't worry about me," He said." I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I knew, he loves my mother deeply.

    Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

    Do you want to do something meaningful? Then you can join us. We're a non- profit(非营利的)organization and we're looking for volunteers who can work at weekends. Anyone, from12 year old children to people in their 70s，can be our volunteers.

You can help people in many ways. Schools need volunteers to help parents take care of children while they are working. Hospitals need volunteers to look after children while their parents are seeing a doctor. Animal lovers can help take care of their dogs and cats without homes. There is something for everyone.

"As a volunteer, I don't want to get anything. Seeing the children's happy faces, 'm happy too" said Wang Dawei, an old man of 56. "I often played computer games in my spare time before. Now I help older people learn how to use computers." said Lin Chong, another volunteer at the age of 17.

If everyone helps out a bit. We'll have a better world to live in. Are you interested? Call us at 01-45678996 or visit our website: www.activol.com.

    I am my mother's third girl. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow (胳膊肘) . Then he gave her some advice, "Don't treat her any differently from the other girls." And she did!

There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen , "Mum, I can't peel（削……皮） potatoes. I only have one hand. ""You get back to peel those potatoes, and don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"

Of course I could peel potatoes - with my good hand and my other arm. "Jenny if you try hard enough," she said, "you can do anything."

Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bar ( 攀爬架) . When it was my turn, I said no. Some kids laughed. I went home crying.

The next afternoon Mum took me back to the school playground. "Now, pull up with your right arm 'she advised She praised me when I made progress I'll never forget when I was crossing the bar, the kids were standing there with their mouths open.

It was the way with everything Mum had the courage to face anything. And she taught me I could, too.

When I was growing up, I never heard the words "I love you" from my father. If your father never says them to you when you are a child, it gets more and more difficult for him to say those words as you get older.

A few years ago, I decided to make the first move. After some thought, I called my father on the phone and said, "Dad, I love you!"

"Well, me too!" he replied calmly.

"Dad, I know you love me. " I said with a smile.

Fifteen minutes later, my mother called and asked if everything was "OK".

A few weeks later, Dad ended our phone conversation with the words, "Son, I love you." I was at work during this conversation and tears came into my eyes as I finally heard the words.And this special moment took our father- son relationship to a new level.

If I had not taken the first step, I would have never heard the love from my father.

Last year, Lucky to my life.

Wang Ming's help, he could find his Chinese book.

Yesterday I some bikes to the children's home.

Xiao Li her mother.

    Miracles(奇迹) will happen if you don't give up  (try).Even if you have failed for one hundred (time), You may succeed(成功）when you try for 101st time.

    When I was born(出生), my doctor (tell) my mother that there was something wrong my legs. They were too soft to be able to walk. the news was bad, my mother didn't become frustrated(沮丧的).She didn't believe what the doctor said and started to look for other ways.

    My mother kept(look) for doctors for me, and finally he succeeded .The doctor and his team in the hospital did everything they could (help) me. They also asked my parents to teach me to do some exercise to help me walk. One day, when my mother came to pick me up. I crawled (爬) towards her. She was so surprised and happy that she couldn't believe her eyes. Crawling was not walking, but it was a good start .Day by day, I could walk myself.

    When I grew up, my mother always told me these stories. She said that if I thought of what she said whenever I met  (difficult), I could do anything successfully. I have been working hard and I have turned out to be a very excellent person. I get the (good) grades in school and I'm a good dancer and swimmer. What the story tells us, as my mother always says is: Never give up.
