The Amalfi Coast(阿玛尔菲海岸) is a beautiful place with rich culture. It has high mountains and great beaches. Amalfi is on the west(西部的) coast of Italy(意大利)，and it takes about 3.5 hours to drive there from Rome. You’ll love it the minute you arrive there!

   ▲     You can swim in the sea. You can also play games on the beach. A boat trip is a good way to spend the day, and you may see ducks and other birds sitting on the water. Fishing is also a popular activity. There are many villages on the Amalfi Coast, and you can visit one of them to see what life is like there. If you are friendly enough, you may even get invited into someone’s house to enjoy home-cooked Italian food!

Italy is famous for its pizzas(比萨饼). The Amalfi Coast is also famous for fish. Pastries(油酥糕点) are a popular breakfast food on the Amalfi Coast.

August is the best month to visit the Amalfi Coast because the weather is warm. It’s easy to spend a week traveling around the coast. And don’t forget to take some photos. We are sure you will agree that it is a great place!

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since he was born, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven happy years in the world with the attention (关心) of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life changed. I had to share a lot with him.

Finally, I hated this small boy. Rohan had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Whatever I did, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and always asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. One day, about six years ago, I was feeling very angry. Then I found myself in my brother’s room. I couldn’t help (忍不住) reaching my hand through the bars (栏杆) of his bed. At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched mine. And that was all I needed. I didn’t feel angry anymore at that very moment. For the first time, I saw my brother through the eyes of a sister. Suddenly I realized love from my family was always with me.

To this day, I can’t imagine life without my brother. Above all, Rohan has taught me that one should not only care for himself or herself.

Most 6-year-olds like candy. Not very many of them have a candy store.

Mollie Price, 6, doesn’t just have a candy store, but she has a chain (连锁店) of them. The little girl just opened her third Mollie’s shop—with a little help from her mom, Becky. And she would like to open more candy stores in the future.

“It might sound crazy but believe me. It was Mollie’s idea to open up the shop. It is Mollie who runs the candy stores. It’s great learning experience for her.” Becky told the Shropshire Star.

“She works in one of the stores on Saturday and wakes up at 5 a.m. every Sunday to go to our suppliers (供应商) in Birmingham to restock (补充货源).” Becky added.

One of Mollie’s business ideas is to make ice cream cheaper on cold days. “If it’s really cold, we sell our ice creams more cheaply than when it’s hot outside,” Becky said. She also asks her friends to test the sweets to decide which ones are good.

Another of Mollie’s ideas is to have to large tin soldiers (锡制的士兵) standing at the door of the shops.

Mollie believes that her ideas help make people of all ages like her shop. “Children have the best ideas. I tell my mom what I think and she always says I have good ideas. It’s just that I know what other children like,” she told the Shropshire Star.

When I first came to America, I lived with a local family. In the family there were Mr. Brown. Mrs. Brown and their three little kids. Of the three kids, two went to the school close to their house and one little baby stayed at home with Mrs. Brown. I helped them do some housework for 15 hours from Monday to Friday and I got free meals and a room to live in.

My job was to walk the kids to school in the morning, and pick up the kids from school in the afternoon, and do some work around the house. Most of the time I worked inside the house, doing some cleaning and washing. I did help with garden work, but only when Mr. Brown and Mrs. Brown got very busy in the garden.

One day, they were busy with the new swimming pool in the garden. I was on the second floor cleaning the floor when I heard a loud call from the end of the swimming pool. I ran out of the door with the mop（拖把）still in my hand and heard Mr. Brown say, “Jane, do you have time?” “They must need a hand,” I said to myself. Then I ran quickly to the end of the swimming pool and asked, Mr. Brown, how can I help? Then Mr. Brown said, “Do you have the time?” I told him the time and started laughing at myself. I didn’t hear the word “the” and didn’t get what he said at the beginning.

Now I am meticulous about whether people are saying “have time” or “have the time”. Then I can give the right answer.

It was sunny last Friday. I arrived at the railway station at three in the afternoon. I would take the _________ to Shanghai to see my old friend Jack. But it was two hours _________ my train left. I thought it was the perfect time and place to look _________ an act of kindness to do.

She looked a little puzzled (困惑的), _________ I suggested that perhaps she could give the flowers to someone who looked a little _________. That was because the flowers might cheer him or her up.

“That’s a crazy idea!” said the girl. But then I explained a little more about the idea of doing something for a _________, and she understood.

“I’m leaving for Shanghai and then I’ll _________ know how it turns out,” I said. “But you will have a good __________ to make someone happy. __________ good deeds (善举) we do, they always come back to us.” At that time, she started to seem excited about it.

She went to __________ the flowers out of the water, and I explained, “You’d better leave the flowers there until the person __________.”

At that time, I thought she was __________ surprised and happy, because it might be her first time to meet a customer like me. I __________ for the flowers, said goodbye, and walked into the station.

How wonderful the day was!
