The hardest thing for you to do is to look in the mirror and like what you see, accept yourself, and then be thankful. And believe you can finish anything you try to do. To live a comfortable life, you must start with believing in yourself.

I have struggled with believing in myself so many times in my life. Struggling with little tasks such as completing homework or memorizing a piano piece, I would get so upset. But you will never realize how much easier your life will become until you say, "I can do this!"

Four or five years ago, I began taking piano lessons. One day, recital time was coming near, but I had a piano piece that I couldn't completely memorize. Coming home with a feeling of sadness, I just considered I could not finish this task. I sat at my piano and told myself that I would never get it finished. But on second thoughts, I could memorize it. So, I tried my best to play. Finally, I did end up finishing the piece, and the recital was able to go smoothly. The important point is that looking back on this time in my life, I can see how important it is to believe that I can complete anything I want to do if I try my best.

Now, when I become upset about a piano piece, I never give up or think that I cannot do it. Always beginning with confidence, I sit down and tell myself that I can achieve my goal if I put my mind to it. I realize that I should have this mind in everything I do.

So, my dear friend, never give up and believe that you can complete anything if you put your mind to it.

The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated to honour Qu Yuan, a famous poet who threw himself into a river sadly when he was unable to help his homeland. Zongzi is a special snack for this Chinese festival. Zhang told Hernandez stories about sea urchin zongzi-making traditions in Nan' ao and how the local zongzi gained popularity around the whole country. Hernandez followed Zhang's instructions step by step: picking leaves, preparing filling with sticky rice, peanuts and fresh sea urchins, wrapping filling in leaves and tying the zongzi with strings.

Hernandez said, "It shows that people care about the environment here and are remembering where they come from. I think it is important to show other people the culture and continue passing down the sea urchin zongzi cooking skills. People take a lot of pride in this."

Before saying goodbye, Zhang gave the American a box of sea urchin zongzi as a gift. "I was thinking about how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with friends. Now I can share it with my friends," Hernandez said happily.

"Mummy, can I have the necklace (项链)?"1 the mother checked the back of the little box and said, "$1.95. If you really want it, I'll think of some housework for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy it for yourself. Your2 is only a week away and you might get another dollar from Grandma."

As soon as Jenny got home, she3 her coin bank and counted out 65 cents. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores for 20 cents. Then she went to the neighbour and asked Mrs McJames if she could pick cotton for 10 cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her4 dollar and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace. Jenny loved her pearl necklace. She5 it everywhere.

Jenny had a great daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the6, he asked Jenny, "Do you love me?"

"Yes, Daddy. You know that I love you."

"Then7 me your pearls."

"Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess— the white horse from my collection. She's my favourite."

"That's okay, honey. Good night." And he brushed her face with a kiss.

About a week later, the same thing happened. Jenny gave her father the8 baby doll she got for her birthday instead of the necklace.

A few nights later, when the father9, he noticed his daughter's mouth was shaking and that one silent tear fell down her face.

"What's the matter, Jenny?"

Jenny said nothing but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened her hand, there was her little pearl necklace. "Here, Daddy. It's for you."

With tears in his eyes, Jenny's kind daddy reached out one hand to take the cheap necklace. Then he reached into his pocket,10 a blue silk case with a real pearl necklace and gave it to his daughter.

In the end, Xue and his father chopped about 900 kilograms of firewood. Xue recorded the moment when he and his father were working. Then he shared the short videos online and they became popular. Many people said, "This is the true meaning of Labor Day." As for Xue, he was happy to do something to help his family during the holiday.

This trip was great. We went to the countryside in a big car. There were two guides (导游) to help us. I askedthem lots of questions, "Are there any lions? What kinds of snakes are there? How many giraffes live in Kenya?" The guides answered all my questions.

After twenty minutes, one of the guides shouted, "Look!" In front of us, there were ten elephants! They walked slowly. They were beautiful. A few minutes later, the other guide shouted, "Look!" Near a group of tall trees, there were some giraffes. They were so tall!

Our first trip to Kenya wasmarvelous—everyone enjoyed it. We want to go back next year.

After an hour, they didn't5 any fish at all. Suddenly it became6, and the wind blew their hats away. It was a little cold. Jack and his friends didn't want to get the two hats. So Jack told the dog to go for the hats. When the dog arrived near the hats, he tried to take7 of them with his teeth.

But it was difficult for him to put two hats in his8. The dog thought for a minute. Luckily, he found that one of the hats was smaller (更小). So he put the smaller9 in a bigger (更大) one. In this way he could carry the two hats at the same time.10 smart the dog was!
