I'm Oliver. My mom loves music. She wants me to be a pianist. But I like sports. I play basketball every day after school. Sometimes, I stay out playing until it gets dark.
So when my mom asks me to take piano classes, I am not happy. Mom says that I have to ty the piano for one year. I go to the first class. It is very difficult. My hands are not good at finding the right keys. They are good at balls.
A little girl there sees my problem. She says to me, "I will help you learn to play the piano if you teach me to play basketball."
We become good friends. She teaches me how to play Beethoven's music. And I teach her to play basketball. Now, I don't know which I like better.
The trees are green and the sky is blue. Nearly everything in our world has some kind of color. These colors make our world beautiful. But do you know that colors can be helpful at school?
Colorful desks and chairs make the classroom a nice place to study in. Right colors can help students study fast and well.
So it's important to choose colors for students' classrooms.
Red, orange and yellow are warm colors. They make people feel excited. Yellow is good for physics and chemistry classes. Red is the color of excitement, and it is a good one for gym classes. These colors are good if teachers want to teach children something new and let them learn it in a short time.
However, if teachers want children to do some reading or keep quiet to think about something, a room with cool colors may be a better choice.
Blue, purple and green are cool colors. They can make students quiet and calm. Blue is great for bookcases, desks and chairs of the reading area. Green is a good choice for libraries and art rooms.
In primary schools, it's good to use more warm colors. They help young kids learn something new fast. In middle schools or high schools, there can be more cool colors. These colors help young teens focus on their study and help them feel relaxed.
Neha is angry with her sister because she makes her homework dirty again. So Neha asks their parents to buy her a study table with drawers (抽屉), so she can keep her homework in drawers.
Neha's parents don't have much money to buy a new table, but they can buy her a second-hand one. They take Neha to a second-hand shop.
Neha sees an old black table there. She opens its drawer and finds a small bag with some money in it. "My birthday is coming. With the money, I can buy a bicycle or beautiful dresses, Neha thinks. So she tells her parents to buy the old black one.
When they get home, Neha locks the door of her room and takes out the bag from the drawer. There are 300 dollars! Suddenly, Neha finds a letter in the bag. It seems that an old lady saves the money for her family. But she passes away (去世) and nobody knows about the money in the drawer.
Neha thinks, "I should return the money." She tells her parents about the money. "I want to give it back to its owner (主人)," Neha says. So they take the money back to the shop.
The shop owner finds the old lady's family. The son of the old lady is very moved(感动) and thanks Neha and her parents.
Neha thinks, "No new bicycle or clothes can make me feel better than this. I pass the important test of my life- the lost and found test of my honesty."
