I was lying in bed yesterday afternoon after a big dinner. There was nothing interesting on television. The book I was trying to read seemed boring too. Finally I decided to take a nap (小憩).
Suddenly, I felt something lick (舔) my face. My eyes opened and I saw our dog Flufly standing there looking at me.
After a while, I got up and we headed outside. The sun was shining and warmed the cool air. I laughed as I ran with him.
He sniffed the grass with his nose when the breeze (微风) picked up. After we went back inside, we played fetch together. I threw a ball to him, and he brought it back to me. Then he started to take a nap. It seemed like even while he was asleep, he never found life boring.
I think I could learn a lot from Flufly. In life, there is time for napping and time for playing. There is time for reading and time for doing sports. There is time to sing and to dance. There is time to walk your dog and smell the flowers. But there is no time to be bored. Every moment is valuable. Don’t waste a second of it.

Recently I went to Happy Valley with my friends. The roller coaster rides were interesting but challenging.
My friends were afraid of riding the roller coaster. “I can’t do it,” said Linda. “But we all need to challenge ourselves and try something new!” I encouraged them. At last, they agreed to try the Music Roller Coaster.
When the roller coaster started moving, my friends were too nervous to open their eyes. I advised them to shout to help fight against fear. So they shouted the whole time during the ride! After getting out of the roller coaster, they said it was a nice try.
Then we tried some other roller coasters. My friends were no longer scared and were even looking forward to trying more. One of my friends even opened her eyes during the ride, and she felt totally fine. Finally, we all enjoyed these activities.
My friends said it was truly an unforgettable experience and they would have regretted it if they had missed it. I totally agree about that.
Sometimes, our fear is our biggest enemy. It may stop us from experiencing challenging but meaningful things. So I would say to everyone, “________________.” You will then discover your real power.

I was lying in bed yesterday afternoon after a big dinner. There was nothing interesting on television. The book I was trying to read seemed boring too. Finally I decided to take a nap (小憩).
Suddenly, I felt something lick (舔) my face. My eyes opened and I saw our dog Flufly standing there looking at me.
After a while, I got up and we headed outside. The sun was shining and warmed the cool air. I laughed as I ran with him.
He sniffed the grass with his nose when the breeze (微风) picked up. After we went back inside, we played fetch together. I threw a ball to him, and he brought it back to me. Then he started to take a nap. It seemed like even while he was asleep, he never found life boring.
I think I could learn a lot from Flufly. In life, there is time for napping and time for playing. There is time for reading and time for doing sports. There is time to sing and to dance. There is time to walk your dog and smell the flowers. But there is no time to be bored. Every moment is valuable. Don’t waste a second of it.

Nancy was a baby turtle (海龟). She was protected well by her parents on the beach where she was born. But as she grew older, she decided to see the world. She would have to get a tool to travel around, for turtles were very slow.
She asked her mother to buy her a moped (助力车) so that she could go off and discover new lands farther away. But Nancy’s mother said, “Certainly not! Mopeds are too dangerous for turtles.”
Nancy was unhappy about this, so she decided to look for a moped that had been thrown away. Finally, Nancy found what she was looking for. Without a second thought, she took it and went off to find another beach along the coast road. As she rode, she noticed that the moped was going very fast, and that it was getting more and more difficult to control it.
Suddenly, a bee (蜜蜂) flew into Nancy’s face, which made her fall onto the ground so heavily that she broke a leg. With great difficulty, Nancy went back home and shut herself up in her own room without saying anything.
That evening, Nancy’s parents bought a lot of her favorite food and made a big meal. Nancy went out and saw all the delicious food on the table, and then couldn’t help crying! It seemed that her leg wasn’t painful at all.

Recently I went to Happy Valley with my friends. The roller coaster rides were interesting but challenging.
My friends were afraid of riding the roller coaster. “I can’t do it,” said Linda. “But we all need to challenge ourselves and try something new!” I encouraged them. At last, they agreed to try the Music Roller Coaster.
When the roller coaster started moving, my friends were too nervous to open their eyes. I advised them to shout to help fight against fear. So they shouted the whole time during the ride! After getting out of the roller coaster, they said it was a nice try.
Then we tried some other roller coasters. My friends were no longer scared and were even looking forward to trying more. One of my friends even opened her eyes during the ride, and she felt totally fine. Finally, we all enjoyed these activities.
My friends said it was truly an unforgettable experience and they would have regretted it if they had missed it. I totally agree about that.
Sometimes, our fear is our biggest enemy. It may stop us from experiencing challenging but meaningful things. So I would say to everyone, “________________.” You will then discover your real power.
