Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms

    By Haizi

    From tomorrow on. I will be a happy man

    Grooming, chopping and travelling all over the world.

    From tomorrow on. I will care about food and vegetables.

    Living in a house towards the sea with spring blossoms.

    From tomorrow on. I will write to each of my dear ones.

    Telling them of my happiness, which is the happiest lightening told me.

    I will spread it to each one of them, giving every river and every mountain a warm name.

    Strangers, I will also wish you happy.

    May you have a brilliant future!

    May you lovers eventually become spouses!

    May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!

    I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.

    I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days．Tonight，in the dark，I would finally take it away．If everything went OK，it would be done by morning．But I had to be sure no one，not even my wife，saw me．
    It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected．I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed．It was partly true．But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan．
    First I had to get the kids to sleep．That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult．The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early．I told him 10:30 pm was not early．As usual，I read them a bedtime story，but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret．
    Silence finally came，and feeling like a thief in the night，I went out of the house and into the garage．Taking one end，I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden．I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police．
    It was already eleven o'clock．By the light of the moon I started working，trying to make as little noise as possible．And that was not easy with a saw（锯子）and a hammer．
    After much effort，my work was finally completed．I looked down at my watch．It was exactly 4:00 am．Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep．It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree house Father Christmas had brought them this year．

    All Aboard the Library!

    A school in London didn't have space for a library inside the building.However,everybody agreed that it was still important to have a school library.So,the head of the school,Graham Blake,decided to park an old bus on the school car park and change it into a library.Pupils helped to paint the bus,and after eight months,the new library was ready.

    In northern Scotland there is a long deep lake called Loch Ness.  More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK.  People  say  a  big monster (怪兽)  lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.

    The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend (传说). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax (骗局). During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.

    There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn't live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.
