Last Sunday I saw the worst storm in years. It came suddenly and went on for more than three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, and all was quiet.

       The strong wind started blowing into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall. When I came back into the house, it was raining harder. I tried hard to close the window. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what it was—a big tree had fallen down(倒下) and broken the top of the bedroom.

Kelly is a very special student in my class. Her father is an American, and her mother is a Chinese from Hong Kong. Kelly was born in New York and finished elementary school (小学) there. Then the family decided to move to China because Kelly’s father found a new job in Beijing. Kelly could speak only English, but her parents did not send her to a special school for foreign children. They wanted her to study in a regular (正常的) junior high school and to make friends with the local students.

       Our school has strict rules (规定), not like American schools. Kelly has to work very hard at school. English is easy for her, of course. Maths is OK, too. But Chinese and History are big headaches (令人头痛之事) for her because she cannot read the books in Chinese. She doesn’t have many friends at school, so she often comes to me, her English teacher, to ask questions about Chinese and History. I often give her some useful advice. She is working very hard, and I believe she will do well in them.

Now DIY is very popular all over the world. People like to make something new for their houses or just for fun. In China, sewing (缝纫) was a traditional DIY skill for most women in the past. They sewed for their parents, husbands and children. I always think that sewing is such a wonderful art form. My grandma is a gentle old lady. She is good at sewing. She made all my childhood clothes with her skillful hands.

       As a baby girl, I didn’t like playing outside with my friends. Instead, I liked to stay with my grandma to help her sew. I really enjoyed getting the thread (线) through the eye of a needle. I tried to make something, but I couldn’t do very well.
       Later, instead of making clothes, my grandmother would sew other things for me. The love from her needle and thread always warms me. Grandma let me love sewing and taught me how to show love and care. Almost a year ago, I thought about finding a birthday present for my friend.
       Then I decided to make her a pencil case. The final result wasn’t as pretty as I imagined (想象), but it was the best pencil case I could make. I sent it to my friend and wished her a happy birthday.
       Just yesterday, she called me and said, “Every time I see the pencil case, I think of you and get a warm feeling.” Sewing is a wonderful art form, which can also show our love and care.
