【推荐1】I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave. I found a big tree and cut it down. This took three days. Then, I cut off the branches. This took another two days. After that, I cut the wood away from one side, and then from the other side. This took more than one month. Altogether it took forty-two days. In England, two men with a good saw (锯子) could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.

I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops. I had to protect them from wild animals and birds, so I made a fence around them. I shot some of the birds and hung them up near the corn. After that, all the other birds stayed away. I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready. I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops. A few years later, I would have enough corn to make bread. I had to find a way to grind (磨碎) the corn into flour, but the rocks on the island were not hard enough. I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do. I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks. Not having an oven, I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes (灰烬). This baked the dough (生面团), and I had bread! I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to.

I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the island. I went to the ship’s boat that was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck. However, I could not get it to the water. It was too heavy. I tried many different ways of doing it, but none of them were successful.

【推荐2】Last Sunday evening, my parents went out for a walk with my sister. But I studied alone at home because I would have an English test. Suddenly, I saw bright light in my neighbor’s kitchen. I thought he was cooking, so I went on studying.

While I was studying, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw the fire coming out of my neighbor’s kitchen. So I shouted, “Fire, Fire!” But no one heard or came out.

I ran quickly to my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbor’s doorbell (门铃), knocked (敲) at the door, but there was no response. I got into the house through the window and found my neighbor sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together.

We tried our best to pour water, but the fire was too heavy. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly. When my parents came back, they found I was dirty and tired. After my neighbor told them the whole story, they were happy and said I was a brave boy.
