It was a day of much rain. On the street an old guy was pushing a cart, and desperately looking for a shelter.
A middle school boy saw him. He took his umbrella and held it for him, he didn’t mind that half of his body was wet and in the rain.
The most beautiful thing was not the rainy day, it was the world under the umbrella.An old poor guy scratched an expensive car accidentally as he was pushing an old tricvcle. He was very worried as he didn’t have money for compensation.The car owner got out and told him not to worry, he wouldn’t ask for money. The old man was so touched, he knelt down to say thank you. The car owner walked quickly over to help him to stand up. Decency is not about wealth. Life is so hard, we must treat each other better.
A dog owner had to go the post office. He had no choice but tie his dog to a pole, It was so cold, the dog started to shake in the frozen winter. A homeless guy passed by and saw the hopeless dog, He went over to the dog, and warmed him in his shabby clothes.
He was in exile, but his heart was in heaven.
He looked dim, but his heart was bright.0 votedMarch 24, 20180My First Short Essay in Italki

Nice to meet you~0 votedMarch 24, 20180The news: Getting It The Way You Want to (Second draft)
According to the "The News: Getting It the Way You Want to", the number of people who read the news on the Internet is soaring. On the other hand, the number of people who read newspapers is decreasing. This paper explained that people prefer to read the news on the Internet for free instead of buying a newspaper. In addition, the money which newspapers receive from advertising is shrinking because it is chap (?) the news on the Internet. However, this article said that because the Internet recommends the news we might be interested in, that news is not objective. In addition, it reduces the chance to bump into new insights. On the other hand, with newspapers we can see the essential news on the first page. Therefore, newspapers play a role in providing news we need to know and this objective and trustworthy media should not be taken over by the Internet.0 votedMarch 3, 20180March 2, 2018
Today was nice and warm, and I didn't go to work. My mother and I went shopping to buy a cake for my dog. He will be 10 years old next Monday. I can't believe that he's already been here for nearly 10 years...! Time flies so fast. I'll never forget when he came here for the first time. My brother said "|Which one is the dog...?", because there were two small toys, one of the toy shaped a dog. I'm so glad to have him in my family.I will work all day tomorrow. I also have a plan which I'm so excited about. It will be a nice day :)
Thank you for reading this! Please correct the sentences if I have made mistakes.

This is a a short story I wrote for kids. I have also drawn the pictures for the story, but the pictures cannot be upload here:( So the story cannot be illustrated here. Sorry about that.
A Short Story I Wrote: The Flower Who Was Afraid of the Dark
And the whole story goes like this:
On a starry night, a little firefly was flying in the night sky.
He lit up his way in the dark night with his glowing tail.
When the firefly was flying around the bushes, he suddenly heard someone sobbing.
He turned around, and started flying in the direction of the sound.
When he found the source. It turned out to be a flower who was crying.
The firefly flew towards the flower and asked her, “Why are you crying?”
She answered, “I am scared at night. I am afraid of the dark, because scary monsters come out at night.”
“Scary monsters? Where?” asked the firefly.
“One of them is over there！It has a big scary mouth!” said the flower.
The firefly flew towards the monster, and lit it up with his glowing tail.
“This is not a monster. It’s just a tree! Don’t be scared.” said the firefly.
“One of them is hiding in the bushes！It has a pair of glowing eyes!” said the flower.
The firefly flew towards the monster and lit it up with his glowing tail.
“This is not a monster. Mr. Raccoon is eating his late-night snacks! Don’t be scared.” said the firefly.
“One of them is always around me. It keeps asking who who……” said the flower.
The firefly flew towards the monster and lit it up with his glowing tail.
“This is not a monster. It's just the sound Mr. Owl makes! Don’t be scared.” said the firefly.
“And I feel alone at night.” said the flower.
“You are not alone, I can be your friend.” The firefly replied.
“I can also be your friend.” said Mr. Raccoon.
“I can also be your friend.” said Mr. Owl.
The flower smiled and said, “Thank you all, guys! I'm not scared anymore.”
She found that what at first seems frightening, may not be so scary after all, especially when your friends are nearby.0 votedMarch 2, 20181Never stop trying
Never stop trying
As the saying goes “Taking a beautiful fall is better than wondering (perhaps you mean 'wandering') aimlessly .” which means you should do some meaningful things and never stop trying. No one can succeed easily, if you want to succeed that you must never stop trying.
There is no doubt that we will meet a lot of difficulties in our life , but no matter what may happen , we should remember to never stop trying. As we all know , Einstein was a famous physicist who suffered many difficulties when doing research, but he never stopped trying, even when he had failed many times. Fortunately, although Einstein failed many times, he also had many outstanding achievements. Had Einstein given up when he suffering difficulty, he would never have succeeded , and would not have become such a famous physicist. I believe that the great success because they never stop trying
Our life is short ，we should grasp our time. If you want to have a better future，you should never stop trying when you meet difficulty.0 votedMarch 1, 20181Diary 11: Doing a test
Yesterday I attended an interview, the interviewer asked me to do a test. He then sent the test to my email inbox, and told me not to be nervous, just to see the test as an exercise, not something to judge whether I could be employed.I need to finish the test in 3 days. Although do not care whether or not I am recruited, I do feel a little anxious, because my family want me to have a job, and if I cannot pass the test, they may feel disappointed, and that would make me feel I'm worthless and guilty.
Do others feel the same when they cannot find a job?
Wishing you all a nice day!

What are your goals in English learning? Have you ever not achieved your goals in English learning? How did you overcome hard periods in English learning? If you take English learning seriously, you must have faced many challenges. In other words, you often felt stress whilst learning. Remember, don't ever let that stress become distressing. If you regard stress as normal, then stress will facilitate your performance, otherwise, the stress will become your distress. There are some basic guidelines to follow:
1. Focus on what you have to do instead of what you must achieve, and believe you will achieve your goals over time.
2. Use your new skills (in your realities - ?) step by step.
3. Follow a guide in a specific period (?).
Do you have any more suggestions?0 votedMarch 1, 20182
