With her snow-white hair and a pair of glasses, my grandma is a kind traveler and she loves adventures（冒险）.
During the summer of last year, my grandma and I went to Japan together. We ate delicious Japanese food, visited beautiful buildings, and took the speedy train. She was so open-minded about the new things we saw there. We also bought things from special machines that we would never find in America. We went to Tokyo, Hiroshima and Kyoto, which were all different and very fantastic.
This summer break, my family and I flew to visit my grandma in Maine, a state about 3,000 miles away from Los Angeles. The town she lives in is small and pretty with many local shops. Her house is right on a lake, and we went swimming with her in the water. Paulinka, my grandma’s dog, would join in the fun and jump in the water as well.
Maine is on the east coast and near the Atlantic Ocean, so we ate fish and chips and lobster（龙虾）very often. Sometimes, my grandma and her friends took us on a boat to catch lobsters. In a little hidden town, the whole family got to walk in nature, lay under the stars and most importantly, enjoyed each other’s company.
I’m looking forward to the winter break because my grandma is going to come over and stay with us for some time. I’m sure my house will light up while she is here.

After the party, when all the students were outside the hall trying to find their parents and friends, a man and his wife came to me and asked if I was Becky’s mom. I said yes and the man handed me a gift and told me how much they would like thank Becky for her kindness to their daughter, Jessica, during the school sports meeting the week before.
Jessica’s left leg was hurt and she was not able to finish the up-hill race. Becky was worried about her and kept going back to check on her. Jessica’s dad told me that Becky had shown more kindness for her daughter than even the coach, and that he and his wife would never forget her kindness.

【推荐2】Peng Qinglin is a deliveryman (外卖员) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. One day, Peng heard a call for help and then saw a woman in the river.
Without thinking twice, Peng quickly took off his glasses and shoes, laid down his phone and jumped into the river. The bridge is about 12 meters high. “Of course, I was a little afraid because of the height of the bridge”, the man tried to save the woman. Peng swam towards the woman. When he reached her, he held her and took her to the nearest safe place. People who saw what happened called for help, and soon a boat arrived to save them.

【推荐1】I entered a university after years of hard study. I thought my life would be full of happiness and knowledge. But my life in the university was not as what I had expected. Then I became lazy and silent, even puzzled (困惑的), I didn’t know what my future would be like.
Four years in the university is only a short period. And a half of it has passed already. This year, many people, such as my parents and my friends, asked me what I wanted to do and they all told me to make a plan for my life with their thought. I don’t want to take their advice. I want my own style. So I think carefully.
I have been a young volunteer for five years. It has been a happy time and it is a big thing for me. Then I have a dream of joining the University Student Volunteer Go West Program. I think I can be a teacher in the west. I would like to try my best to help them. I want to see the world clearly. To make it come true, I will work harder in the next two years. There is an old saying “Where there is a will, there is a way”. I think my dream will come true in the near future.
At last, I want to say something to everybody, “Never give up your dreams, no matter how big or small they are. The path to dreams may not be smooth or wide. Even there are some difficulties you will face. But hold on to the end, and you can find there is no greater happiness than making your dream come true.”

I was making lunch when I saw my 6-year-old son, Billy, walking very slowly towards the woods. Minutes later he came running out again, towards the house. Soon after, I saw him walking towards the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.
Billy cupped (笼成杯形) both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it tried to lift its head to drink the water in my boy’s hands.
When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the kitchen. Billy opened the tap and a small trickle (涓涓细流) came out. He let the drips (水滴) slowly fill up his “cup”.
Now I understood what was going on. The week before, he tried giving water to our horses but I told him not to waste water. Now when he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes filled with tears (眼泪). “I’m not wasting,” he said. I joined him with a small cup of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood by the woods. Tears rolled down my face. Suddenly there were some drops falling, as if the sky itself was crying.

My school went on a camp in the north of the city last Friday. We did simple things like cooking food in the bush(灌木) and sleeping in tents(帐篷). Among all of them, I enjoyed the two exciting activities most.
One of the activities was called Flying Fox. When you are taking part in the activity, you are connected to a wire(金属线) that begins from the top of a mountain to the ground. Then you jump off the mountain. There are very strong ropes so you are very safe.
Before I went on the Flying Fox, I was a bit afraid. My classmates kept on encouraging me. So I closed my eyes and jumped. I felt my whole body was flying! It was so wonderful!
Some students in my class were also afraid of doing it at first. We just cheered them up and encouraged them. In the end, everyone in my class enjoyed it.
The other activity was called High Ropes. You need to walk on a wire in midair. To make yourself safe, you should hold the ropes hanging in the tree. Every time you walk on and take hold of the next rope, the space between the ropes becomes longer.
I once missed a rope and fell from the wire. My heart was in my mouth! Thanks to the protection equipment(设备), I didn’t fall to the ground. I pulled myself up and kept going. When I arrived at the final place, I felt so pleased. I thought it was like life: you just have to keep going no matter what happens. This camp was really enjoyable. I hope I can go to more camps in the future.
