My Life

One afternoon of May, a woman was lying on the hospital bed, huge drops of sweat rolled down her forehead. She was trying hard to give birth to her child.

Suddenly, a cry had burst out. A new and precious life was born. With the cheers of their loved ones, I gradually grew.

When I was five, I learn how to walk, talk, write and much more due to my parents intent teaching.

I even learned about teamwork and the outside world when I was in kindergarten.

When I was teens, I became more mature, I can take care of myself and as well as others. I was able to help my parents more and I could view things in a different point of view.

When I was twenties, I became an adult, an independent. I shouldn’t always take money from parents, but instead I should make money and support the family.

I wanted to begin my teaching career. To teach students the knowledge and let them enjoy the learning process.

When I was thirty, I had a husband, children, my own family.

I should treat my husband and children as I would like to be treated, and hope our family will be filled with happiness.

When I was sixty, at that time, I should be a grandson’s grandmother.

I want to play with him everyday and take care of him, watching his little body and peaceful sleep.

When I was eighty, I want to move to the beautiful countryside and experience the rural life of the 50’s.

Without noisiness, pollution, but only happiness, and enjoy the rest of my life.

“Dead” it’ll absolutely come someday. It might come early, might come later, I don’t know when it will come, I only know I have to make the best of the time I’m given.

Save the planet go go go!

Hundreds of millions of years ago, the solar system in the universe was born, there are now eight planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

When our Earth was finally born, there was only green grass, bare land and empty oceans on the primitive Earth.

A variety of dinosaurs, plankton and tiny insects were born.

Tens of thousands of years ago, human civilization appeared on the beauty of the Earth.

We humans have damaged this unique planet, but some people find the planet was always hurt. For example, we have lights on all the time, wasting electricity.

We cut down trees, every day to make paper. It’s a waste.

We use cars and other vehicles every day. Each causes carbon emission to the skies, causing a big hole in the ozone layer.

We use too much food packaging and we spit on the ground. I believe that human beings are not good for the Earth.

We should do something to make the Earth a better place.

We can turn off unused lights, reduce our paper consumption and can also take public transportation instead of cars and trucks, we can also pick up the trash on the ground.

By doing these things, our Earth can become more beautiful.

A Trip

It was a rainy day in a town. Many raindrops fell down on a road, in a garden, and on an umbrella.

One raindrop named Len, fell on a colorful umbrella. Then it slid down on a girl named Tina’s shoulder.

Suddenly, the wind blew strongly and Len was blown away.

Len fell on a little purple flower. Len asked the purple flower, “Whose beautiful garden is this?”

She told Len, “It’s Tina’s garden. She is a nice girl. She takes care of us.”

It kept raining for many days. Len saw Tina every day. He liked to watch her playing in the rain. He was happy there. He wished the sun would never come out.

However, after six days, the sun appeared. It heated the water in the garden and Len rose into the air.

Len became water vapor. The wind took Len higher to the sky. He was very sad. He cried and cried. He thought he would never see Tina again.

Then Len met some water vapor friends and they got together to make clouds. Then the clouds got too heavy and they fell in the same town.

Len became show and fell on the ground. There were two kids playing in the snow. Suddenly, he saw Tina playing in the snow with another kid.

Tina and her friend made a snowman with snow on the ground, so Len and his friends became a snowman. The next day, it was sunny.

Len and his friends were heated by the sun, but this time, Len was not sad anymore because he knew that he would come back again and again.

Colors

The world is full of colors.

There are 7 colors in a rainbow. They are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

If everything in the world was black and white, it would be so boring.

When I think of red, I thing of Elmo. Elmo likes to laugh and he likes to sing the Elmo song.

When I think of orange, I think of Bert. I want to know why he put an orange on his nose.

When I think of yellow, I think of Big Bird. He is in my student book, on my bookbag and on my pencil case. I can see him everywhere, even on TV.

When I think of green, I think of Oscar the Grouch. I don’t know why he would eat a sardine sundae and drink pickle juice and not get a stomachache.

When I think of violet, I think of Rodeo Rosie. I think she might have eaten too many eggplants.

When I think of blue, I think of the Cookie Monster. I want to ask him why he is never full.

When I think of indigo, I think of Grover. I will ask him to teach me to be as thin as him.

The Sesame Muppets are so colorful and they make my English learning interesting and exciting, too. Imagine, the Muppets in black and white…

Oh, no!

The disobedient Son

Not long ago, there lived a boy named Kai who refused to listen to his mother.

Whenever his mother would say, “Kai, you have to eat your fruit.” He always replied, “You can’t tell me what to do!” Soon, his mother became very frustrated.

One day, when Kai’s uncle Sam came to visit his mother said, “I don’t know how to make Kai obey me. He won’t listen to a word I say. Please, help me!” Uncle Sam just smiled and nodded.

At dinner that night when Kai refused to eat his fruit, uncle Sam smiled encouragingly, “That’s right, my boy. You don’t need to eat fruit because fruit is very sour.”

Kai was surprised. He yelled, “You can’t tell me what to do!” And then he ate the whole plate of fruit.

Later on Kai’s mother wanted Kai to practice the piano, but he refused. Uncle Sam said again, “That’s right my boy. You can’t practice the piano because it is too noisy.”

Kai’s face became red. He yelled again, “You can’t tell me what to do!” And then he practiced the piano for two hours.

That night, Kai refused to go to sleep when his mother asked. Uncle Sam smiled and said, “That’s right my boy. You can’t need to sleep because sleep is boring.”

Kai was furious. He shouted, “You can’t tell me what to do!” And then he threw his head on the pillow and slept quietly all night.

From that day on, whenever Kai’s mother wanted him to do something, he would always say the exact opposite.

Poor, stubborn Kai never caught on to his mother’s trick and always did exactly as he was told.

And so, all thanks to wise uncle Sam, Kai became the most obedient son in town.

Finding Strength in Defeat

I have participated in many Taiwanese speech contests and have never been beaten until three years after I began giving speeches.

In the first year, I took part in the speech contest which was held by my town. I won first place in the contest. The next year, I won first place again.

In the third year, everyone was confident that I would win the prize, however…

The list of winners did not have my name on it.

As I saw the list, I felt as if a knife was piercing my heart.

A negative thought hit me all of a sudden. Reading Taiwanese aloud did not mean anything to me anymore. I decided that I wasn’t going to practice any more.

My teacher said “A contest is simply an experience of your life and losing is not the end of your life. What you have learned during the process is more important than the result.”

My teacher said “Forget about the contest since you are already the best in my eyes.” His words were an encouragement to me.

This was my first time to suffer from frustration and also the first time to experience and understand how much courage I needed when I encountered frustration. The following days, I was upset and looked down on myself. I was afraid of anyone talking about the contest in which I was defeated.

Two weeks passed and I was getting back to normal with everyone’s encouragement and was even able to challenge myself to learn advanced Taiwanese and give another speech.

This time I lost but I was thankful to have a chance to learn from my frustration.

My courage was strengthened by this event and I learned that life is not always perfect. However, courage helps us to overcome the frustration.

A Little Tiger’s Journey to Happiness

A long, long time ago, there was a little tiger who lived in the jungle. He was unhappy, but he didn’t know why.

One day, he decided to find happiness.

Firstly, he went west. He saw some cats playing together happily. He thought they were very happy, so they might have the answer he wanted.

The little tiger asked the cats, “Can you tell me what happiness is?” Then, the cats answered quickly, “Eating mice is a kind of happiness.”

The little tiger thought that wasn’t the answer he wanted, so he continued going.

This time, the little tiger went east. He saw a deer. The deer was eating grass without a care in the world.

He went to ask the deer, “Do you know what happiness is?” The deer answered cautiously, “If I am not eaten by you, that will be a kind of happiness.”

Then, the deer ran away quickly. “How stupid it is!” The little tiger shouted out loudly.

Though the little tiger felt disappointed, he didn’t give up. He went south and saw a pig. The pig was grinding its teeth on a tree happily.

The little tiger saw the pig feel so happy, so he said, “I must have finally found happiness.”

He went to ask the pig and the pig said gladly, “ Finding a good tree to grind your teeth is happiness.”

The little tiger thought that trees were everywhere, so he didn’t think it was the happiness he was looking for.

Finally, the little tiger thought of all the ideas about happiness he got from those animals and felt sad because he didn’t find out what he thought happiness should be.

As soon as he arrived home, he ran to his mom and said, “Mom, what is happiness?” His mom said, “Happiness is on your tail.”

Then, he chased his tail for a long time and he still couldn’t catch it. His mom smiled at him and said, “Oh, cutie! You can’t chase happiness.”

If you live contentedly, happiness will be with you.”

A Whole New Jason

Once upon a time, there was a hunter named Jason. He was the best hunter in the world.

Jason always got the perfect score in the shooting contest. He never lost and enjoyed being the first place in the contest.

Jason was very proud of his shooting record and thought he had the perfect skill.

Jason refused to share his experience with other hunters because no one could compete with him.

An annual shooting contest was about to begin. Jason was very confident with his first place. He didn’t prepare it at all.

To everyone’s surprise, Jason lost the game. He was angry and shame. Moreover, he continued losing points in the game. He gave up the game at the end.

He was in a temper all the time. He treated people badly. He wasn’t that super Jason anymore.

One day, Jason took a nap and he had a dream.

In his dream, he came to a forest. Though the forest animals took good care of him, he still found that living in the forest was not as comfortable as living in his home.

Jason tried to find the way home. Unfortunately he got lost. He completely didn’t know where he was.

Jason walked and walked, and then he saw a desert. The desert animals disliked him. They didn’t want to share any food or water with him. He was very hungry and tired. He thought he was going to die in the desert.

A noise woke Jason up and he realized it was just a dream. He started to think what the dream meant to him. He didn’t want to be alone anymore.

He started to practice his shooting over and over again. He hardly took a rest until he was satisfied with his score.

He became to be polite to the other hunters and discussed how to improve his shooting with his friends.

“No pains! No gains!” Jason finally won the first place again. This time he won people’s respect and he was truly a super hunter.
