When we say, “A friend is better than fortune,” we always hear, “A friend is worse than
in some cases.” The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable, but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good, while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.
friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below: he has no bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in
. He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics that I don’t have. I can follow him as a model. With his help, I can be free from all difficulties.
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word, “
Dear Mother,
Every time I look up at the blue sky, the
remembrance which makes me full of fighting spirit on my way of life is thought of.
Do remember the days you washed my favorite dress, because I was teased by some naughty boys who made
filthy marks on my lavender dress. Do remember the days you sat on the chair, with a needle and thread in your hands to sew and mend my worn clothes.
When at some moment I lost the
aspiration and wept with grief, you encouraged me and touched my head fondly. When at some moment I was mocked in the regret of my height, you helped me to face my disadvantages with love and patience.
Some day you discovered that I hid out the corner with a sob. Hearing the footsteps, I wiped the tears hurriedly. You walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder, which gave me a warmth. While you knew the reason why I wept was that I failed the exam. With
condemned loudly, you said clumsy birds have to start flying early instead of distressed alone. Leaving the word, "Dying to take wing in the sky must touch the sky first," you walked away. When I looked up at your back, finding the scene of you back was a clear, blue sky.
Thanks for your words, my mother. I love you
Your daughter

Title: Sunflowers
QQ:
When I was young, I lived in a small village. There used to be many beautiful flowers. I like the flowers with sweet smells and bright colors. But my grandma likes a kind of common flower very much. It was called
sunflowers and it has a little sweet smell. My grandma always told me, this kind of flower lives in little soil, and the more strong
sunshine, the more beautiful the flowers. It is a symbol of confidence, courage, and strength. I can’t understand what she said at that time. But one time I was in a terrible mood, I thought of it suddenly. I started understanding my grandma’s words and I learned that I should smile at life.
When I faced the difficult problems in life, I always think of the sunflowers. I can imagine that they are standing in strong sunshine, singing sweet songs in the win and smiling to the sun. I think I should learn something from the sunflowers. I should keep a confident mood in my life and try my best to study or to live. My grandma planted many sunflowers around my house. When it was
in bloom with light yellow, she liked watering it and then told me, “You should have a strong heart like the sunflowers. You can do everything you want to do. Don’t be afraid of difficulties. Believe in yourself. It’ll make you more mature and encouraged.”
Now, my grandma has died. I am busy with my studies. Though I have little time to see the sunflowers, I always keep it in my heart. I love the sunflowers and my grandma. I think I will remember my grandma and her sunflowers forever. I wish the sunflowers can spread all over the world, then more and more people will get confidence, strength, and courage from it.
