Jimmy spent most of his time in the bedroom when he was in university. With his aunt’s help, the young man found a job in a park after his graduation. There’re all kinds of flowers in the gardens and he has to look after them. He thinks it’s easy and often stays in bed.
One morning the head of the park found some of the flowers were dead. He called Jimmy there and asked him the reason. The young man studied for a long time but couldn’t answer. Just at that moment an old gardener passed by and the head asked him for help. The old man studied it for a while and said,” A mole(鼹鼠)is eating their roots(根).”
“I don’t think it has something to do with the dead flowers,” said the young man, “People appreciate(欣赏)not the roots, but the flowers!”

The summer vacation is over. It’s true that time flies.
In the vacation, the weather was very hot, but I enjoyed myself.
I did my homework in the morning. I got up at 6:30a.m. and took a walk in the garden for half an hour. After breakfast I began reading English and Chinese and did some math exercises. It usually took me three hours or more. I worked quite hard and I made great progress(进步).
I spent the afternoon outside. I went swimming and it was fun. I would not go home until it was about five or six o’clock. Sometimes my friends came to see me and we spent some time listening to music.

I have worked in Shenyang for two months. I seldom meet Westerners in the street. But on TV, I see many foreigners in Shenyang. I am a little lonely and I really hope to make friends with English speakers. Although I study Chinese hard, my Chinese is poor and I can’t communicate in Chinese very well.

I, “Hello.”
The Chinese，“Where are you from?”
