As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of high places. One day, when he was 12, he went back home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them.

When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of high places was gone.

In China, a lot of food is wasted (浪费）every year . The waste food is enough for two hundred million people to eat for one year. The food is wasted in restaurants, at home and in schools. . .

Mary used to be a shy and quiet girl. She used to get nervous easily and her face often turned red when she spoke with strangers. She liked nothing but reading alone in her free time. However, she has changed a lot since she joined the Buddy Club. Now, Mary is so brave and outgoing that she isn’t afraid of speaking out in public anymore. What’s more, she has lots of hobbies, such as singing, writing and dancing. She is good at them as well.
People sure change all the time, right What we should do is to learn from Mary. Change ourselves and choose to be the best of ourselves.
