But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).Sand is the second most-used resource in the worl d after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitl ess and that we might be running out of it.Sand is mad e up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to buil d houses, roads and other things.People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for exampl e, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-mad e islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to buil d.If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For exampl e, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more fl oods to happen in places close to the sea.

I knew it was French.Because I can speak and understand it.Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits.At first I thought she was really l ooking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was.

The woman then felt each one and smil ed, and the daughter woul d put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help.

I rushed and pull ed at the clothes in the wardrobe, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子), turning right and left. I looked ugly. I threw it on my brother's bed and l ooked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, l ooked at me for a l ong time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers l ooked my way and talked about how foolish I l ooked in my new jacket.
