In Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money.1usually start to do chores at the age of 10.
School students have to do homework and study 2 tests on weekdays, so they often do chores on 3.
Young kids only do 4 chores, so they don't get much money. But that's all right. Many of them only want to5 candies. And candies are cheap! They help wash the dishes after dinner, and 6the family cat or dog.
When kids get 7, they want to buy more things. The things they want are much more expensive than candies. Then they have to work harder! They often 8 the family car, cut the grass, walk the dog and even cook dinner.
Doing chores is a good 9for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawn mower(割草机) or 10 to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.
Many people like to travel by plane, but I don't like it because the airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safer. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time. I also like traveling by car. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

Michael was a good boy. He was hard-working but shy, so he had no friends at school. James was a new student in his class. Other students soon got on well with him except (除了) Michael.
One day, some boys put some money into Michael 's bag and one of them pretended(假装) to have lost his money. Of course, they found the money in Michael's bag at last.
Michael felt shameful, but he could not say anything about it. Soon his classmates called him a thief (小偷) and laughed at him at school. His teachers also believed he stole the money and called his parents to the school too. Just then, James stood out and helped Michael make everything clear.
From that day on, Michael and James became good friends. James often took Michael to take part in many activities and Michael became active. Michael often helped James with his Maths. Then Michael got more friends, and he became the monitor in his class.
Tom and Joseph are best friends. They spent their summer vacation in Africa. When they were walking through the desert(沙漠), they started to argue(争吵) about something. Tom became very angry and slapped(掌击) Joseph in the face.
Joseph felt hurt, but he didn't say anything to Tom. Then Joseph wrote in the sand(沙地): "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."
They kept on walking until they found a small lake. They decided to have a bath(洗澡). But when Joseph got in the water, he started to sink(下沉). Tom jumped in after him and pulled him out. His friend saved his life.
After he became well again, Joseph wrote on a stone (石头): "Today my best friend saved my life."
Tom couldn't understand it. "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand. Now you write on a stone. Why?" he asked.
"When someone hurts us. We should write it down in sand, and the wind can take it away." Joseph answered. "But when someone does something good for us, we must write it on stones so that no wind can ever take it away."
