What do you think of love? Maybe it is the best thing in most people's eyes. I once considered love was to give everything1my family moved to a new house.
In order to celebrate the new house, my grandmother invited her friends to come. Many of them2some gifts like flowers. What brought her great3was that she got her favorite flower-the red peony(牡丹). In the following days, she was used to sitting beside the peony, enjoying its beautiful color and pleasant smell. She even seemed as4as she was several years ago. She treated the flower as her baby.
One evening, I found my grandmother sitting against the window when I returned home after school.
"What's wrong, Grandma?" I asked.
"She's dying," my grandmother said sadly. I knew5it was about. The peony, my grandmother's favorite, was dying. Caring for the peony like a baby, she6to put it by the window and moved it from one place to another, chasing the sun on nice days. She watered the peony as soon as she got up every morning. Besides, she also fertilized (施肥) it many times. She hoped the peony would become more beautiful and stronger with great7But the peony didn't grow as what she had expected or imagined. Instead, she was dying because of too much sunshine, water and fertilizer.
It's true that my grandmother loved the peony. But this kind of love can be8harmful(有害的). Love can sometimes kill what you love. Remember to love properly to make sure it's helpful to others.
Nowadays many parents think of studying as the only important thing and are not willing to allow their children to play computer games. However, they don't realize that they may get in the way of their children's communication with others. Playing computer games is one of the ways for teenagers to have fun, communicate and relax with friends in some ways. Here are some opinions about this.

Some computer games are good for children's development of art, English or music. My 14-year-old child can play a meaningful game for no more than 25 minutes at a time. It interests him much in speaking English. |
In my free time, I may play some relaxing computer games with my daughter. It makes us happy and helps improve our relationship. But we often promise to take a 10-minute break every half an hour. |
| On weekends, my son can play computer games with his classmates. It can last at most one hour. He never breaks the rule and he is thankful to his dad and me. He likes the teamwork in the games. | Playing some kind of computer games can help our children type faster and think better. The most important is to lead them to play computer games in a right way rather than just keep them away. ) |
There are always some helpful people who take care of others as volunteers. For example, some high school and university students often spend many hours volunteering in hospitals, orphanages(孤儿院) or old people's homes in their free time. They read books or the newspapers for the sick people, play games with them and tell jokes for fun. Other young people volunteer to help some old people. They help paint, clean up, repair their houses or cut the grass.
To help teenagers, there are a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn some skills. The clubs often offer the problem teenagers some chances to watch movies or have short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most volunteers there are high school and college students because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.
The volunteers always get excited about helping others. The volunteers help make people less worried and forget their problems and understand the happiness in their life. They say they can learn a lot from the experiences. The volunteers also believe that the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness and kindness to others.
Seeing the teacher smiling to us, we often feel encouraged. Also, it's easy for us to know our mother is angry when she frowns(皱眉). Facial expressions are one or more movements of muscles(肌肉) on a person's face. Usually, examples of facial expressions include frowning, raising one's eyebrows, and nose and lip movements.
According to many famous scientists, humans have about 80 muscles on their faces. These muscles can create more than 7,000 facial expressions. These kinds of facial expressions are common in all cultures. They mainly express the feelings like happiness, sadness, surprise, fear and anger.
One study in western countries, reported that in most conversations, more than 90 percent of communication is finished without words. If people can read facial expressions, they may be better at knowing what other people are feeling, so they can understand each other better. Someone who does not enjoy a certain type of food will usually make a face when they see or taste it. A frown means worry or anger. Raised eyebrows and open eyes show surprise. Of course, there are also some Don'ts for reading people's facial expressions. You may be considered rude if you do like that.

Talking of breakfast, lots of people may think of the busy situations in the morning. They seem to do everything in a hurry before arriving at schools or the working places. They don't always spend enough time having a good breakfast.
Recently, we have done a survey about missing a meal. We ask the people which meal they will probably skip if they have to miss a meal a day. Most people (especially very busy people) choose to skip breakfast even if they know it may cause some health problems. They think they can't come up with a good idea to solve the problem of missing breakfast.
According to many experts, we have to improve the situation of having breakfast to be in good health. If we have a good breakfast, we will have the energy and nutrients (营养) we need to begin our working day actively. Without a good breakfast, it's easier for us to be crazy when we have much work to do. Also, we may be heavier if we often skip breakfast. This is because we become so hungry if we skip breakfast that we eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight.
Luckily, the experts provide us with some tips. First, we should know it is important to develop the habit of eating a good breakfast. Second, it is necessary to have different kinds of food like fruit, meat, eggs, bread and milk for breakfast every day. Besides, make some time to have breakfast. Having a too quick breakfast may cause a stomachache. So you see, to keep healthy, we shouldn't skip breakfast with an excuse of being busy.

I didn't realize the importance of persistence(坚持) until I took part in the model plane competition last year. It was the time for me to have such an experience. On a wet day before the rain, some black clouds were hanging in the sky. I walked into the competing field with my heart beating fast. I was really nervous while the other were excited. Because they were more skilled, it seemed a little for me to get a prize. I was just a beginner.
I was waiting for my turn, my teacher Ms. Lin came over and told me not to worry. I calmed down and tried to control my plane. But things didn't go as well as I expected. My plane fell to the ground and I I would fail. Soon it was time to take a break, Ms. Lin noticed my bad and encouraged me. However, I became so upset that I told her I would not like the competition. She stopped a second and told me the true meaning of the competition was to beat myself rather than win others.
I understood her. I went back to the field and began to operate my model plane carefully. In the end, I finished fifth.
I was because Ms. Lin helped me out through her kind words. She was completely right. No one can stop you if you never choose to give up.
