The first transaction in my life Last year I set up my mind to have a TOEIC examination and I bought a set of guidance books. But finally I didn't have the test for some reasons. I put them in my closet for about a year. I think it is really a wast. Five days ago, I put them in a second-hand website and marked CNY 50 which I bought them about CNY 200 and I also promised to pay for the mailing fee. Four days later, 11 people came to see my book but nobody placed a order. I really felt a little upset as this was the first time I sold the books online. I made a CNY 10 discount and yesterday a lovely girl placed an order and I will sent the book to her today. I was excited when she placed the order because it is the first transaction in my life!

I will be appreciate it if you can help me to correct my article "The old man and sea" Yesterday I read a book "The old man and sea" in the school library. It is about the process of a fisherman catches fishes on the sea . The old man hasn't caught any fish for 85 days but he never gives up . He believes that he can catch a fish if he insists .Finally, on the eighty-seventh day he caught a big fish even bigger than his boat. He was so excited as he could tell everyone who always laughed at him in the past 85 days that he has excellent catching skills. But the fish was indomitable and wanted to flee . Next the man experienced 3 days and 2 nights sea life. He tried to exhausted the fish so as to kill it but the fish fulled with energy.On the last day , the old man was so tired and the mind of maybe he would die if the fish continued to sail always flashed in his mind as his left hand cramped and his right hand was hurt and bloody . He also did't have any food to eat as a result he always felt dizzy. But he told himself that it was really a shame if he defeated by a fish and he should insisted .Finally ,he got the triumph. He relaxed himself for a while and sailed home. Unfortunately , on the way home ,he met with several kind of sharks .In the battle with sharks , Even if he lost all his tools eventually ,he always told himself that he was able to arrive home . At the end of the story , he arrived home , but he felt upset and defeated. Because the big fish was almost eaten up and some bone left.He though that he couldn't tell anyone he ever caught a big fish which even bigger than his boat. He went home for sleep sadly . I really admire the courage from the fisherman .He has the confidence to defeat the sharks even if he lost all his tools. And the book tells us that we born not for defeated by anyone. We can die but we can't be defeated.

My college Two weeks ago, I finished my last lesson of my college, which means that my student life is over. These days, I recalled the past four years. I suddenly realize that I have been loath to part with my school. I lived in a beautiful and comfortable dormitory. Everyday I get up, I like to stand outside the balcony to breathe the fresh air, which can refresh my mind as well as I can hear the bird songs, and I will have a good mood towards the day. Of course, I have three lovely roommates. I also have many friends, we will make a trip plan in our leisure time and visit spots around our school. As I have three lovely roommates and many friends, I never suffer from loneliness or the homesick. What's more, My headmaster is pretty good, though everyone regards her as a strict teacher. She gave me a lot of useful idea anytime when I asked her for help. And she told me that I had to learn how to enjoy the world so that I could find more goodness in our world. As for the place I like most,I think it is the library, which has gained the "LuBan" prize several years ago. Every time I learned in the library, I could improve my sufficiency and I was able to calm down myself and just enjoy the learning time. The landscape of my school is wonderful, as our school is surrounded by the mountains and we can breathe the fresh air greedily. One month later, it will snow in the mountain top and the school' s cheery trees will blossom.But I think I won't have the chance to admire them.

Whether we should tell the children that the fair stories are just lies. Yesterday I saw a debate competition on TV which talked about whether we should tell our kids that those fairy stories are just lies.I think both of us must have been told many kinds of stories as a kid such as the Snow white 、Cinderella as well as Santa Claus . As a girl ,we are always keen to find our own Mr white on the count of the love stories we were told are so sweet and everyone tend to pursue the happiness .What is more,do your still remember the day when you wait for the coming of Santa Claus .Maybe your wish is the Father Christmas can give you a lot of candy and the second day when you get up you will feel excite and unbelievable because your dream has come true and you would think that what your parents told you is true and also believe the goodness in our world.However , let 's make a assume .When the kid ask his mom whether the story that the Father Christmas will come on the Christmas and bring him the present he wants . And his mother tells him that there is not exist any Santa Claus . If he want to get the candy ,What he can do is to do some housework or get good grade and he will get the gifts as a reward .And i think this time the little boy should be a little upset. Telling the truth is not wrong .As far as i am concerned , we don't have the right to deprive their illusion towards the goodness.They have the right to enjoy the process . Once they grow up , even if they know that the stories they were told as a kid are just lies but I think they will become more positive and still believe that the dead people they love have become the stars in the sky and always be here with him . When they feel upset or defeat by something, they will believe that the flowers by the road are always blossoming for them and there are many goodness in this word . Above all , I think you should not tell the children that the stories are just lies , we should company them to enjoy these process instead. I think it will be more interesting if you can give me all of your opinions towards this topic!
