My name is Lisa. I usually get up early in the morning. I always have breakfast at a quarter past six. I go to school at ten to seven. I am never late for school.

I have many lessons in the morning. At around twelve o’clock, I have lunch at school. In the afternoon, I am not busy. After school, I do my homework first, then I play with my friends.                 

In the evening, my parents come back from work. We have dinner together. I go to bed at half past nine. But my father often works late at night.

Jimmy is happy. His uncle gives him a red pen. He likes it very much. He takes it to school and firstly shows it to his good friend, Jack. Jack likes it, too.

After the math class, Jimmy opens his pencil box and wants to show the pen to other classmates. But it’s not there. “Where is my pen?” Jimmy begins to look for it in his schoolbag. He can’t find it. The red pen is lost, Jimmy is sad. He only shows the pen to Jack.

“Jack, I can’t find my pen,” Jimmy says to his friend.

After hearing this, Jack looks uneasy. “You will find it ,” he says.

Jimmy says nothing and doesn’t tell others about this.

In the afternoon, Jimmy takes out his science book in the science class. He finds his red pen is in it. A card is in the book, too. The card says, “Here’s your pen and I am sorry. Are we still（仍然）good friends? Jack.”

I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall.

For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than the other girls, so I often bent（弯曲）my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd. And I wasn’t looking forward to entering the ninth grade.

My grandfather didn’t laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me, “Stand straight and tall, Alisa.” I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.

My grandfather grew up in war-torn（受战争严重破坏的）Europe. “Stand straight, and stand tall” meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life. “If they could do it, why couldn’t I? Stand straight, and stand tall,” he often reminded himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first. He was trying to learn not only this hard new job but also a new language.

“Stand straight, and stand tall,” he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather’s unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.

“Stand straight, and stand tall” has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture（身姿）, it also tells me to be proud of who I am.

And I do.

I like watching movies, especially(尤其) action movies. I saw an action movie called Mulan last week. Let me tell you something about it. Mulan is     51     exciting action movie. It comes from an old     52     (China) story. The movie is about a village girl, Mulan. She     53     (dress) up like a boy and takes her father’s place     54     (fight) in the army. I think the actress played Mulan’s role     55     (good). The other actors are also fantastic and they did a good job     56     the movie. I like Mulan very much. The movie shows     57     (she) love for her family and country.     58     you plan to watch a movie this weekend and you want     59     (see) something     60     (enjoy), choose Mulan!
