Hello again. We’re on holiday! My family won a prize – tickets for a round-world-trip on the Freedom of the Seas! Can you believe it? This is one of the biggest cruise（巡游）ships in the world – it‘s huge! It’s as long as 37 buses and can carry more than 4,000 passengers. That’s a lot of people! You know that I like to be very active, so at first I thought this cruise was going to be a little boring … I was so wrong! The ship has an ice-skating rink, an outdoor climbing wall (more than 13 meters high), two swimming pools, a water park and even a boxing ring. But best of all … the Flowrider! It’s a surfing attraction at the top of the ship. I tried it yesterday but I kept falling! I must try again this afternoon. Mom and Dad were also pretty impressed（印象）by the shopping mall on the ship. You’ve really got to see this fantastic ship – it’s truly spectacular（壮观）. I’ll write again when I get home (Sunday) and tell you more about the cruise. Bye! Anne |

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a beach near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding(滑行) down the slide. “He’s a fine-looking boy,” the man said. “That’s my son on the swing(秋千) in the blue sweater.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son,” What do you say if we go, Todd?” Todd pleaded(恳求), “Just five more minutes, Dad. please? Just five more minutes.” The man nodded and Todd continued to swing to his heart’s contently(尽兴地).
Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son. “Time to go now?” Again Todd pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes.” The man smiled and said, “Okay.” “Oh, you are certainly a patient father,” the woman said. The man smiled and then said ,”My older son Tommy was killed by a drunken driver last year while he was riding his bike near here.

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were served
warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying . I was feeling a little tired I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed for another nearby dustbin and started looking something.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and handed the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s day!”
He thanked me and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he
away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “Giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.
