Passage du Gois(格伊斯通道): magic tricks by the water
If you are planning a trip to France in the future, you should be careful with the roads you take because some of them may just disappear.
The Passage du Gois in France, which is a natural passage first discovered in 1701, connects the mainland France and a small island called Noirmoutier(努瓦尔穆捷岛). It is about 4.2 kilometres in length. What has made the passage famous is that it periodically floods. Twice a day, it disappears under about four metres of water. The passage is accessible only during low tide which lasts about one hour. People can also drive on the passage half an hour before and after low tide.
Driving on the passage can be dangerous. Some drivers are caught in the tide because they drive at the wrong time. Besides, as the passage is covered with water for most of the day, it is slippery all the time.

There are also poles set at intervals along the passage for people to climb up when they are trapped in the water. People are warned to drive slowly and make no stops on the passage.

A few days ago, I ran into(撞上)a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him, and he said, “Excuse me too, I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.
Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around (转身), I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.
That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, “You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you’ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favourite blue.”
When I heard this, I thought deeply, “While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient (耐心的).” I felt sad and tears began to fall.
I quietly went to Betty’s bed, “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me ” She smiled, “I found them by the tree. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.” I said, “I am so sorry that I treated(对待)you that way today.”
And she whispered(悄声说), “Mummy, that’s okay. I still love you anyway.” I kissed her and said, “I love you too and I do love the flowers.”
That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn’t realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.

My Childhood Memory
Like many children, I had a happy childhood under the care and love of my parents. There are many beautiful memories that I can’t forget forever.
My mother is an English teacher. She had to get up early to have morning classes when I was young. So I had to get up with her and get to the kindergarten very early. I was always the first to get to the kindergarten then. Because of this, I was often praised by my teachers. My teachers also told me to help them get ready for kids’ breakfast. From then on, I began to learn to do things by myself.
Sometimes I think my mother is a hard-working teacher rather than a good mother, because she loves her work and students more than me. Even so, I should also thank my mother. It was her who taught me to be independent.
