Every week, our teacher gives us a new topic to discuss in class. Last Monday, however, he asked us a very interesting question — “Do you think it is d    30     to be a parent?” Some of the students said they thought it was easy, as parents never have to do any homework! Our teacher said he wouldn’t tell us the a    31    . He said he would let us be “a parent” for a week. He was sure we would find out how a parent will feel by the end of the week.

Then the teacher asked us to s    32     the rest of the class in making “flour (面粉) babies”. We first took some big bags and filled them with flour in order to make the flour babies as h    33     as real ones. We then tied the bags very tight(紧的), so the babies would not fall out. After that, we used cardboard (纸板) to make some arms, legs and a face for our flour babies, and then we d    34     them in old pieces of clothing. My baby looked strange, as I am not good at art, but it was great fun.

When we finished, our teacher gave us all notebooks to record some funny e    35     with the babies for the whole week. We had to carry them with us every day and look after them like real babies. That was really hard work! For example, one of my friends had quite a bad memory, and he l    36     his flour baby on the bus one morning. We also had to feed the baby and get it for bed in the evening. Every night, I was supposed to get up three t    37     to feed the flour baby. I was tired and fell a    38     very quickly. Yet it was just a few hours before my alarm clock woke me up again. I got so little sleep t    39     I had black bags under my eyes.

It was a hard time, but now the project is finished. I feel I have learnt that it is not easy to be a responsible(负责的) parent. I think it also gives me a new perspective (观点) on what my parents have done for me.

Future and Today

　　It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.
　　There is an old English saying, “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious(珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless(无价的).
　　We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
　　As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.
