【推荐2】I started my school life at the age of six. At first the school for me, a boy, meant play, play and more play instead of sitting in the classroom and learning something. However, I changed the way I used to behave (表现) at school with the help of my teachers. I tried my best to do well in my schoolwork and follow the school rules.

I had brown hair that started going gray（灰白的）when I was 30. So, like a lot of women,I started coloring my hair, which may make me look younger.
However, it was expensive and a waste of time. And my hair grew fast, so I needed to color it every five weeks.
Then one day, I suddenly realized that many people seemed to enjoy keeping young for as long as possible, no matter how much time and money they had to spend in coloring their hair. More importantly, I felt that it was OK to be ourselves because going gray had done more for me than saving me time and money.
I like my natural hair, just as it is. I like how it has gotten curly and full again. After years of not being colored, it is healthier than before.
I also like that it makes me realize something different. It reminds me that I’m not a kid anymore-and this isn’t a bad thing.
Not being a kid any more means I read the books I want and not the books I feel I should read. It means not wasting my time at events I don’t need to attend when I’d rather be with family and friends.
When I see my hair in the mirror，it’s a reminder that my time is not infinite（无限的）and I should spend it doing what matters.
There’s nothing shameful about growing older. So I stopped coloring my hair. I see gray hair as my “flag” now and I’m letting it fly, proudly.

My name is Alston. When I was alone at home, I was more excited than afraid. My parents had gone for an invitation and left me behind. I was feeling free like a bird. I had some snacks, then sat on the sofa and began reading a storybook.
About an hour later, I decided to take a break. It was7:30 p.m. My favourite TV show would start in half an hour. Having found something to eat in the kitchen, I returned to the living room, where I became a couch potato and started watching my favourite show on time. As I was watching excitedly, the lights went off. “What bad luck!” I thought to myself. Gradually, I felt a bit afraid in darkness.
Suddenly I heard a loud knock on the door. My heart skipped (跳) a beat. I nervously looked out of the peephole (窥视孔), but could not see anyone. Then again another loud knock! I immediately phoned my best friend who lived on the first floor. At the same time, I tried to calm down and decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, something ran into the room quickly. It looked like some kind of animal, maybe one or two. I ran downstairs to call my friend and was relieved (放心的) to see him climbing up the stairs.
We both entered the room cautiously (小心翼翼) and heard some noise in the kitchen. We looked inside slowly and saw two creatures (生物) sitting on the kitchen table. They were monkeys. Not knowing what to do, we decided to call 911.
Soon, the power (电) came back on and the police arrived, along with the workers from the zoo. When the workers were catching monkeys, one of them ran away from the window.
My parents hurried back at about ten, and when they heard the whole story, they were happy to see that I was safe.
