I’ll always remember the first time I tried ballet. My mother was a dancer and I wanted to be someone like her, but after making mistakes during my first class, I felt like I wanted to give up right now. But as it was only my first day, I told my mom I looked forward to dancing again.

________. Then one day, my dance teacher told us that we were going to dance in a show. I was afraid of losing my face in front of hundreds of people and letting my mom down.

Even though I practiced hard for the show, I could only made little progress. Finally, I went to my mom to tell her how I felt. She simply smiled and told me she would always be there to help me.

My mom quickly found out how bad at ballet I was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience, love and understanding. When I jumped and fell, she was there to catch me. When I lost my balance, she held me up. Slowly I got the hang of ballet after many times of practice with my mom.

By the time the show arrived, I was as ready as I could be. The music began and my heart started to beat fast. I tried to calm down and began moving to the music without missing a step. When the music stopped, I ran off the stage and laughed in excitement. My mom found me and gave me a huge hug, telling me how proud she was. I looked at my mom in the eye and told her that there was no way this could happen without her.

How to Develop a Good Reading Habit?

A good book can teach you a lot. It can open your eyes and clean up your minds. If you want to get into a good reading habit, here are some ways to develop it.

Choose interesting books. If you’re not interested in the book that you’re reading, it can make reading boring. But if you’re really into what you’re reading, you won’t be able to put the book down and reading will be fun.

    39     You should give yourself at least half an hour for reading every day. When time is set, nothing can change it.

    40     Find a place in your home where you can sit comfortably. When reading. keep away from the television, computer, music or even noisy family members.

    41     Have a library card, and read as many good books as possible in the library. Make it a weekly trip to the library.

    42     Writing down the titles of books as you read them is a fun way to see how much you have read and the different kinds of books you go through. Write down when you start and finish the book along with a few ideas and feelings about the book.

Nowadays we can see more and more electric cars on the road. In 2022, more than six     58     (million) electric cars were sold. People predict that electric cars might be more common in the future. Last month, we asked young readers what they thought     59     electric cars.

Some of them say they like electric cars better. This will cut down air pollution and be good for our     60     (health). Cleaner air also means there will be fewer     61     (animal) dying. Electric cars are expensive, but     62     (they) prices are coming down. What’s more, gas costs a lot more than electricity. Anyway, I think we     63     (run) out of gas one day. This will make electric cars a need. Also, do you know that electric cars can travel     64     (far) for about a dollar than gas powered cars?

The others don’t think all cars should be electric. First of all, charging stations are less common than gas stations. This doesn’t allow people     65     (have) too long trips. What’s more, on cold days,     66     batteries in electric cars can’t work well as usual. The used batteries are bad for our home and we can’t reuse them,     67     we must find some ways to deal with them correctly. Or there will be another problem.
