It's always an unforgettable day for my father. This is because on July 19, 1969, humans first landed on the moon. Every summer, he takes out old pictures and sits1the dining room table.
My dad was just ten years old at that time, but he described it like it happened yesterday. His whole family sat together2the pictures of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin climbing down the spacecraft（宇宙飞船）, and setting legs on the moon.
"Since then, we3on another space from our little planet. Mars will be the next," Dad thought. Although Dad felt that4task was the best, he thought we would achieve more in the future.
My elder brothers5to spend more time in science. However, they found their own interests. You could imagine his surprise6I, his only daughter, turned out to be the only one who really loved science.
Every July 19 of my teenage times, I sat and looked at the old pictures with my dad. The pictures of those7on the moon encouraged me a lot. And I majored in studying space when I went to the university. I was crazy about8so much. But at that time, studying space was one of9subjects, so there were not many girls in my class.10difference the space made to my life! I hope I can encourage some young girls to get into it.

Gourds（葫芦）have a history of 7,000 years in China. These special-shaped plants are used for cooking delicious dishes as well as making musical instruments. But today we are talking about the pyrography craft（烙画工艺）on gourds.
The craft originated during the Han Dynasty at first and entered its golden age during the Qing Dynasty. Many cities of China like Tianjin and Beijing are well-known for such gourds. Take the craft from Beijing as an example. As the family's fourth-generation inheritor（继承人）of Beijing's gourd-pyrography craft, Niu Chengguo has been working hard on the craft for about 40 years. With his great love for beautiful things, Niu has kept improving his art skills and created many works of art.
"When I was a little boy, I was deeply touched by the lively patterns（图案）on gourds which were created by my grandpa. I began studying how to create the artworks with the help of my grandpa when I was 11 years old." said Niu.
Niu's efforts to create wonderful artworks paid off, as his artworks sold well in many countries in Southeast Asia, Europe and America. Many of his works have appeared in different cultural exchange（交流）activities. As a result, the gourd-pyrography craft is becoming more popular.
In 2021, Niu started to provide a platform to help visitors enjoy the beauty of the gourd craft. "I just want to make the traditional craft known and liked by more people," Niu said.

Frank and Tony are two new students in our class. They came to our class the same day. Frank is good at communicating. Soon, we often study and play together. However, Tony usually stays and seldom talks with us.
Last Friday, we had a composition lesson. The result gave us a big . Tony did best in our class. In the next class, the teacher him for this. When our teacher read his composition to us and advised us to learn from him, we got to know how powerful his heart was. After this, Tony decided to change . He told us he believed he could do everything well.
Tony also told me he was too shy to himself well in front of us in the past. He was that no one could understand him. So he chose to keep silent. In fact, the teacher him courage to write down what was in his mind on paper. It helped him face himself correctly and speak out his ideas bravely.
Frank and Tony stand for two of students. Treat them in a correct but different way, they may get better and better. I've learned a lot from the two classmates.
