Have you ever felt the need to grab a pen and start writing your thoughts on a piece of paper? Tom had always been a lover of stories, and of words that come together to create vivid imagery (意象). He would spend hours writing down his thoughts and ideas, crafting worlds and people with his pen and paper.
But when it came to his parents, they didn’t believe how much he enjoyed writing. In fact, they discouraged him, telling him that he should focus on more practical career fields like becoming a lawyer.
The annual writing competition arrived once again, which was a time to show creative writing as well as the vivid imagination of students. Although Tom had a burning passion for writing, he had always hesitated to enter the race. He was worried that his parents would disapprove of him spending so much time writing, leading him to miss the competition in previous years. But this time, he decided to take a chance and see if he could win this race. Perhaps if his parents saw how talented he truly was, they would come to support him.
Days passed as he carefully prepared his writing, pouring his heart and soul into every word. When he finished, he read it over and felt proud of what he had written. He prepared to hand in his writing, but his parents still believed he was wasting time. He still decided to submit his entry anyway.
Weeks went by before the contest’s results were announced. Tom waited anxiously, wondering if his writing was good enough to win a prize. He checked out his mailbox every day after school.

7 . In many countries, it is still common to see the whole family cooking together. You will find parents, their children and their children's grandparents in the same kitchen at the same time cooking as a family. They talk with each other, have fun and make a great meal at the same time. However, a lot of families are too busy nowadays to spend this time together.
In fact, it is very important to find some time to cook together. Even if it is just once a month, whenever it is possible, cooking as a family should be done. Family members rarely get a chance to connect with each other as a family, and cooking together can do that. It can also foster an interest in different types of foods, such as healthy food like vegetables and fruits. What's more, a home - cooked meal is often healthier than the one cooked at a restaurant.
Having kids cook with their family in the kitchen also helps develop their self-confidence (自信心). They can feel like they are doing something important by contributing to the needs of their family. It is also more likely that the family will eat dinner together if they prepare it together. This will increase the quality time that the family spend with each other.
Cooking as a family will also help members understand family values. This has many benefits, one of which is that children who spend more time with their parents are less likely to do dangerous things. Cooking together is sure to bring the family closer.
