【推荐1】The man traveled far and worked hard until, finally, it was time to go back home. He put all the presents he had bought into his bag, but decided to get a fresh rose for Bella when he was closer to home. On his journey home, a terrible storm came. Luckily, the man found a place to shelter (躲避). He ran to the door. To his surprise, it was open and it seemed nobody was in. It looked warm and welcoming. So he went in.

“Is there anybody home?” he called. But there was nobody to be seen or a sound to be heard. Tired and wet, the man sat down by the fire. Invisible (无形的) hands gave him warm drinks and good food. Invisible hands put a cushion (垫子) behind his head. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “I must be dreaming,” he thought.

Next morning, the man woke up and remembered he had to get a rose for Bella. In the garden, he found some beautiful roses. He started to dig up a small part of it. Then he heard a terrible roar, “How dare you take my roses!” Suddenly, a great hairy beast (野兽) appeared, roaring loudly. “Please don’t hurt me!” said the man. “I’ll do anything.” “Then you must promise to send me the first creature (生物 ) you see when you get home.” “Aha!” thought the man, “I will see the chickens around my door first.” So he gave his promise.

Sadly, the first creature he saw was not a chicken, a cat or a dog. It was Bella, who came running out to meet him. The man went as pale as moonlight. He told her the whole story. Bella did not think twice. “A promise is a promise,” she said. (To be continued …待续)

【推荐3】Many people think heroes need to be handsome, rich, or very smart. But as for me, a hero is a person who always helps others. My hero is Uncle Bill. He is the oldest son of a worker, and he grew up in a poor family with four younger brothers and two little sisters.

He was good at neither writing nor maths. In fact, he never did well in school. So he had to give up school at a very young age. He worked and gave all his money to help his parents. When he was getting older, he found that he was very interested in fixing things. He collected broken things which people threw away and fixed them. He could fix almost everything that did not work. He worked hard and never gave up. Finally, he opened his own repair shop. It took him about 20 years to become a successful shopkeeper.

Now, he is very rich and has four shops. But he never forgets the days when he had nothing. He gives money to poor families, helps poor kids buy books and offers them free lunch. He also encourages people to reuse things. He always says, "Make good use of what you have because we just have one earth."

I am proud of Uncle Bill. He is really a hero.
