Last Sunday afternoon, I was having dinner in a restaurant when my friend Poor came in. Poor is working in a bank and is quite rich, but he is always borrowing money from his friends and never pays it back. Poor saw me and came to sit at my table. He had never borrowed any money from me. When he was eating, I asked him to lend me two dollars. To my surprise, he gave me the money at once.“I have never borrowed any money from you,”Poor said,“So you can pay for my dinner.”

Hi, I'm Wei Yan. There are many kinds of delicious food in the world. But I like beef noodles best. My parents also like beef noodles. But my mother is too busy to cook for us, because she is a famous doctor in a hospital. So when I want to eat beef noodles, I often go to the restaurant.
Yesterday I went to a restaurant to eat beef noodles. On my way back home, I thought I should learn to make beef noodles. If I can cook them, I will make beef noodles for my mother on her birthday, October 28.She must be very happy. So when I got home, I began to learn to make beef noodles on the computer.
First boil some noodles. Then cut up some beef. Next mix them up and add some relish. Now you can eat them! They are not only delicious, but also good for our bodies.
