As he drank more, Peter began to lose he had---his home, his land and his work. Finally, Peter died in a San Francisco room. When I heard of Peter’s death, I thought he was a and wasted his life. As time went by, I began to know I once thought was wrong. I knew Peter’s little son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the love them. I knew that kindness and caring had to somewhere. I never heard Erine talk much about his father.
One day I asked him, ‘ I’m really puzzled by something. I know your father was the only one to raise you. What on earth (究竟) did he do to make you become such a special person?’ Ernie sat quietly and smiled for a few . Then he said, “When I was a child, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘I love you, son.’ ”
Tears came into my .Al had not left any money , but he had been a kind, loving father, and he left behind a legacy(遗产) of love.

Two years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what the best way to celebrate was. Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many people"s lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute(献礼) to my grandmother .m
We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother"s address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response (回应) surprised us. We compiled(编辑)these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.
The unusual thing about my grandmother"s friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother"s life.
I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one"s lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.

As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Long Zhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn’t what I expected. It didn’t look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2, and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.
I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.
I have worked in Long Zhou for a year now. I’m very happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.
