Many people, sometimes myself including, tend to judge a person by his appearance.

I was afraid of my uncle who has a scary tattoo on his arm till my mother told me a “story” .When I was three-year-old naughty boy, I always ran around the neighborhood with my toy saber. Unfortunate, one day I hit a wild dog on accident. The dog became crazy and try to bite me. It was at that time when my uncle appeared and protected me with her strong arm. However, this accident left a scar on his arm. My uncle went to get a tattoo in order to cover up the scars. From that moment, he is my hero but instead of a bad looking uncle.

So we need to go beyond people's looks and focus on more internal spirits in order to truly judging a person.

5 . One night, as I was driving down the road, I found something was sitting in the middle of the road. A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (海龟). Afraid of it being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety. But I’d made one big mistake.

I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director.

Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one of the vastest road networks of the country.

“Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So, just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,” Dr. Sue said.

Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (设备) ready to go, including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and help their patient.

When I offered my next-door neighbor an ice cream, what was difficult to open, she told me to wait the minute. She went in her house and comes out with a rubber band (橡皮筋). She said she could get it open right away by put the rubber band around the top! And she did open it. When she was told to have the ice cream, and she said, “No. You enjoy it!” I noticed her garden gloves were worn as we spoke, so I went in my house and got a new pair for him. The gloves were decorating with ladybugs (瓢虫). She loved them and I was attracted by the legend of the ladybug she shared me! We've been neighbors for 9 year and we have shared so much happy moments.

One day when we were playing the basketball, I saw Tim wearing a pair sneaker of my style. I thought they were my shoes, so I shouted angry and blamed him for using my personal possessions without permit. Then I went back to the dorm after he could say anything. I opened the door only to find mine own sneakers just under my bed. For a while, I stood there still, shocking and guilty. When realizing my act must have hurt him, immediately I rush to the court to apology to him sincerely. Fortunately, though he was angry and sad, he pardoned me. With my relief, the conflict ended happily.
