21. I Did a Silly Thing
A few years ago, when my family moved to this city, I became interested in soap-box race That's when I discovered that“it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.”
Dad bought a set of tools to make a racing car for me I just couldn't wait, and one day, while Dad was at work, I decided to have my car going. I looked at the drawings,and I said to myself,“Dude, you can do this.”I got out Dad's toolbox, and I started building. Part A fit into Part B Part C was a little harder to connect to Part D. It was easy to fix Part E. By the time I got to Part G. I'd made a real mess(混乱)of things. I really regret having done such a silly thing.
What did I learn from this experience?Now I know that before I start something, I should know how to finish it.
22. Snakes
Today I read a book about snakes.I found some interesting facts, especially some surprising facts in it Did you know that some big snakes are strong enough to kill a pig or a goat?All snakes eat animals. Without snakes, the world would probably be filled with rats and mice.
You probably didn’t know that snakes smell with their noses and their tongues.Some snakes are even longer than an elephant or a giraffe!
This book made me think a lot about snakes. Most snakes don't hurt people, but some are dangerous.I'm thinking if I saw a snake, would I know if it was dangerous?
23. A Call from the Secretary
Mr. Young was a boss,and he worked hard. Seldom did he have a vacation. His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she suggested to him taking a vacation. At last Mr. Young agreed. But she was afraid that he might be disturbed by his company,so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband's secretary.Mrs. Young told her,“My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens; please don't disturb him with letters or telephones while were away. Just wait until we get back.”
Then on a pleasant morning, after Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, when the couple was having a picnic and eating their hamburger,Mr. Young received a phone call from his secretary, she said,“Something terrible has happened to your business, but I remember what Mrs. Young told me. so I'm not going to disturb you with it now while you're enjoying your vacation Bye-bye!”
24. My Collection of Sea Shells
Every summer my family goes to the beach I dig in the sand and search for sea shells(贝壳).
I've collected many shells so far. They have different colors: orange, silver, purple,gray（灰色), brown ... Some are common,others are unusual. I have a shell which is like a bird's wing,and one of my shells is like a whale's eyes.
Last year, my elder sister helped me put all my shells in my drawers and on my desk.When I see them, I will remember the fun I have at the beach
