Don't Open the Wrong Window
A girl was leaning over the windowsill of her own bedroom when she saw her neighbor burying a puppy,which was so lovely that the little girl usually played with it.Seeing the puppy dead,the little girl couldn't help bursting into tears from her broken heart.When her grandfather witnessed this, he led the little girl to another room and opened another window.
Looking out of this window,she found it was a sunshiny rose garden with the birds singing and the air permeated with the fragrance of flowers. Instantly the little girl became cheerful without any anxiety on her face.
The old man told his granddaughter kindly,"My dear, you just opened a wrong window."
On our journey to life,don't we often open a wrong window?

The day that changed my life改变我一生的一天
One day, upon a bus I saw a lovely girl with golden hair. I envied her, she seemed so happy. I wished I were as fair. When suddenly she stood up to leave, I saw her hobble ahead. She had one leg and wore a stick, but as she passed, she gave a happy smile. I stopped to buy some candy. The young man who sold it had such charm. I talked with him, he seemed so glad. And as I left he said to me, “Thank you, you have been so kind. It’s nice to talk with people like you.” “You see, I’m blind.” Later while walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue. He stood and watched the others play, he did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and said, “Who don’t you join the others, Dear?”
He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he couldn’t hear.
With legs to take me where I go,
With eyes to see the sunset’s glow,
With ears to hear what I would know…
Forgive me when I complain!
I’m lucky indeed!
This world is beautiful and fine!

My winter holiday The winter holiday this year is kinda special; the last winter holiday in this university. Be honest, I didn’t think about this before the winter holiday. I just thought I really need this winter holiday to have a break. Since the summer holiday of my second year, I kept on busying with something. Although I know something I called busy this time is not a real busy, I really need some days to slow down or do something I really want to do. I have to say, I partly fulfilled this plan. Everyday during the holiday, I waked up around 11 am, then have lunch, then playing PC game or playing Pingpang with my friends. During this winter holiday, I asked my mother to buy a DVD player, and she did buy one. During this winter holiday, I bought much stuff that I was logging for before, a 350 yuan pingpang paddle, a good earphone, a good speaker and many other stuff. Then the winter holiday ended, I had to get on the train to go back to school, a place you cannot have good foods, you cannot schedule by yourself, you cannot hang on your friends to have fun. What’s more a place, you have to bear cold air.
