This morning, I got a funny feeling. Today I had to give a report in my , and I had been afraid to do so for a long time.
Mom came into the kitchen, asking , “Are you ready, ?”
“ Yes.” I answered quietly. in fact I wasn’t ready!
On my way school, I could feel my heart beating. I hated this!
I went into Mrs. Owens’ class. She was smiling, and saying to all her students as she did every morning.
“ Hi, Sam,” she said to me as I walked the classroom.
“ Hi,” I said and quickly sat in my . I looked at the clock. The time was near. Then Mrs. Owens started, “ Sam, it’s time for you to show yourself.” “Show ? Oh, no!”
I got up slowly, the ground as I walked to the front of the class. Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs. Owens knew I was , so she came beside me, and put her hand on my back.
She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam, did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”
I thought about the fun things I about surfing before, and I started to talk. I talked and talked the whole class, and I was not nervous at all. It was great fun. It wasn’t frightening. The class cheered as I finished and Mrs. Owens was .
In fact, I can do better than I think I can— if I try! I am proud of myself.

As a young child, I was quiet and shy. I was also sick for a long time. My parents worked, and I spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s home. While my grandmother cleaned the house and cooked, my grandfather played with me.
I was six when my grandfather died. A few months before he died, he gave me a beautiful blue and white blanket (毯子). I loved the blanket very much because it made me think of my grandfather. But after a few years, the blanket didn’t look very good. It had holes and was dirty. I didn’t want to throw the blanket away, so my mother made the blanket into a book bag. I was proud of the book bag, and I used it to carry my books to school every day for a few years. Then the book bag was broken. I begged my mother to make something out of it.

Luke says, “At first I was shocked that somebody would do such a thing, but then I saw Jenifer’s and knew that I had to do something. I jumped up and started chasing him down the street and calling‘Thief, stop !’but nobody seemed in stopping him. They were too busy staring, like it was a or something. Luckily, I play soccer for the school team, so I’ve been training all year and I’m in pretty good shape, so I to catch up with him on Third Avenue and knocked him down. Once he was on the I sat on top of him and waited for the police to come.

Sarah ran in, shouting, “Look what I found!” Over the top of the paper I was reading; came a terrible thing that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin found in our garden.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.
I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,” I explained.
“Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did. “
As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn’t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave. I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced.
“Snakes don’t peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. “
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.
I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories m our deep hearts.
