neighborhood alone, and offered to help mow a lawn or wash some walls in exchange for
some pocket money just to buy something I needed, such as some school clothes or candy.
One day, I knocked at an old woman"s door and asked if she needed her walls washed.
She asked why I wasn"t in school and I showed her my pants and shoes, which were torn
and no longer keeping my feet warm. She allowed me to work in the yard for pretty much
that entire day. When I was finished, I knocked on her door and she looked at me. "I
suppose you want to be paid now," she said.
"Yes, ma"am, I do."
She asked what my fee was. I hadn"t thought about this and made no answer. She said,
"Well, come inside," and then she came in and pulled out a big jar which was filled with
dollar bills. She said, "Though you"ve done a fine job today, that isn"t something you should
be doing again. I want you to buy some pants and new shoes and get back in school. I
also want you to come back and visit me with your report card and I"ll reward you when
I see your good marks. Now reach in with your hands and take out as much as possible."
I reached in and grabbed lots of money, which was enough for me to buy those I
needed. I returned several times to see the woman and yes, she did just as she promised.
She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and a sandwich every time
I showed her I had an "A" or "B"．
I"ll never forget the huge difference this wonderful stranger made over my life with her
generosity and kindness; this is something I hope to do myself in my life.

| Several days ago, while I was logging onto QQ, my cousin"s QQ head popped out online. We hadn"t seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a conversation with her. My cousin is studying in a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer, she is always online, listening to music or decorating her "personal space". I like visiting her space. It"s creative and modern and worth a visit. I can"t imagine my designing such a colorful web page. When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed, but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further observation made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals(部首) to the original characters, making them more vivid, a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to the Chinese language and culture. It is true that the Internet has reinvented our language, but I still can"t accept this new cultural change. Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes; one shouldn"t superficially change them by adding an additional radical. So I persuaded my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice. | ||||
