A fisherman and his wife live in a small house. They are poor. One day , the fisherman go outside to get some fish for dinner. Until evening, he got one. The fish tell man: let me got back, I can satisfy your desire. So the man go back and tell his wife. His wife get many desires. First one, his wife want get a nice house. Second one, his wife want to get a big house. Third one, his wife want to be queen. Last one, his wife want to stop the rain. Finally, the fish said: you get so many desires, I want get those back. So they lost everything.

I learned that dont think everything is always bad for us, sometimes bad thing always can be good. Because everything always have two side. We cant just according to one way to deal with everything.

My lesson is we need give up something even though you want it.
One day, I read a story. The story was about two man want to get treasure in the desert. Started a few days, they always felt good. Day by day in the past, their food less and less. They didnt have enough supplies. Finally one day, they found the gold, a big gold. They were so happy, but they didnt have any food. They sat on the floor, and talk about the gold. One man know if he got the gold, he would be died, the gold was so heavy even though he really want it. So he gave up the gold. The other man wanted to get the gold, he liked money, that was his idea. So he got the gold. The gold was so heavy, he walked slowly. Finally he was died, but the other man lived, he could walk fast, and got help. After that, I think we need give up something even though you want it, that is so important. If the man didnt give up the gold. The result will be two men dead. Our daily life always like this story. Many things always like that, we really need but you must give up. But that is not always bad. For example, I have test tomorrow, so I need give up to play the computer. This is better for me to get good grades. This is simple truth.

Summary : oneday a fisherman went fishing and he got a magical fish which can make people’s dream come true. The fisherman didn’t kill him. The magical fish promised he would do something for fisherman in return. Fishman’s wife asked a lot of things from the fish. She wanted to get a new house, a bigger house and become a queen. The fish made all of these things come true, but the wife didn’t know what is enough and kept asking from the fish. When she asked for stopping the rain, the fish lose his patience and take all the things that he gave to the wife away.

I learned that no pain no gain. Because the wife didn’t do anything but asking for free, finally she didn’t get anything she want.

My experience : homework copy
Two yeas ago, I don’t know the importance of studying. I played with my friend all day and sleep in the class, never study. But my homework was always good. Do you know why? Because I copied good student’s homework everyday. So in teacher’s eyes. I was a clever boy, I can do good job even slept in the class. But in the final test, I had nothing to copy. I got a really bad grade. I was so upset at that time. I realized that a famous idiom, ‘no pain, no gain’. I should do homework by myself, then I can get effort. Since that test, I didn’t copy homework and sleep in class anymore and gradually made a progress.

Don’t want to get too much

ESL Writing
Today, Mr. Nakagawa told us a story about a poor man caught a big fish, the fish asked him to
let it go , and said that it can help the poor man to achieve his dream. First ,the poor man’s wife wanted to have a big house, the fish helped them. The second time, she said she wanted to have a bigger house, fish helped them to achieved this dream, too. The third time , his wife still wanted to live in a bigger house like a queen, the fish still helped them to achieve their dream. The fourth day , his wife wanted to stop the rain, fish said angry, “you get too much things “ . So the fish turn the big house into small house. The poor man return to the poor life.
In our life, there also are many people always want to get many things from others. I don’t think it’s a good way to get things that you want. I understood this truth when I was a student in Junior high school. I had a very good friend, she is very outgoing, and we got along very well at the beginning. However gradually, I found she always wanted me to do things for her. She wanted me helped her to took some notes, and she wanted me to help her cleaned the classroom, but that’s her duty not mine. At first , I always helped her but she always had so many things wanted others do for her . I really can’t stand it, so I began to alienated her, because I think everything if you want to get, you’d better do it by yourself. If you always ask others do for you, finally, you will get nothing.

There is a fisherman, and his wife always isn’t happy because they are really poor. One day, the fisherman catches a big fish, and he let it go because the fish tell him it can realize his dream. Again and again, his wife doesn’t feel enough. She asks more and more until she wants rain stop. She asks too much result she has nothing.

I learn” don’t ask too much because rich man wants to earn more money, kin want to get more wealth, people never feel enough.

My lesson is Good mind, good find.

One day, I saw a man san a song in the street. And I ask my mom who he is? My mom told me that he is Busker. Although he worked hard no one give him money. After he stopped, I asked my mom” Can I give money to him?” She said yes, and I put 100 dollars into his box. He asked my name, and told” One day, I will success, and I will invite you to attend my concert.” 2 years ago, I was 9. One day some one who we don’t know sent a letter to us. Letter said” thank you for your money. Here is two 2 tickets. Welcome to my concert.” I was really surprised.

That’s why we need to be kind.

Good-heartedness often meets with recompense.

Summary
One day, have a poor fish men, he touch a fat and big fish, But fish told him “if you not kill me, I can help you do anything”. The fish men not kill it, and told his wife. His wife has so many things every time. First, his wife wanted a new house, the fish agree. Second, she wanted a big and have servant house, and the fish agree again. Third, she wanted to stop rain, but fish didn’t agree this time. This fish said “I can’t do anything to her”. Finally they lived their poor house against.
I learned we need to know enough, and if other people give you some good, you can’t ask too much, because if you do it, maybe all things will become nothing.
My lesson
I had a friend; she really wanted to buy a MP3. She told her mother, and her mother said “it you graded were good, I could gave you bought it”. So she studied hard, and her graded was high. So her mother gave her bought a MP3. After 3 months, she told her mother said “mom, I wanted to buy MP4, and her mother bought it for her”. After 2 weeks, she told her mother “I wanted to a phone”, but her mother didn’t buy anything give her. Her mother confiscated her anything, and she was so sad. So sometimes we don’t ask too much, we need to depend on by ourselves.

There was a poor fisher man. One day, he wanted to catch a fish for the dinner. He caught a big fish and the fish wanted him to not eat it. It said it could make his dream come true. The fisherman’s wife heard it. She wanted a big new house.the fish gave them it. Next day, she wanted another big house. The fish gave them again. Next day, she wanted to be a queen. The fish made her to be a queen. Next day, it was raining and she wanted it to stop. Finally, the fish got mad so it made them poor.

I learned that we should not want too much. Because in the story, his wife became rich and she became poor right after. If we got something enough, we should stop wanting something.

My lesson is Get rid of your greed.

At that time, I was middle school student. I was playing with my friends. We were hungry so we were going to order the foods. Each of us wanted one, but I was hungry so I was trying to order not only one. My friends said that I would regret it as soon because they thought I couldn’t eat all. I ignored them as always, and I just ordered too much foods. After few minutes later, we got the foods. I just ate half of the one food, but I was full. They all made fun of me. I should not order too much foods.

Don’t Think About Appearance

When I finished listening The Strongest Person this story, I got a lesson was “don’t think about appearance”. People always look a person than thinking about everything. I really happed some thing like that. For example: I have different identity with my families. I look like an old person. When I with my mother when to shopping, the waiter always think I am litter brother of my mother. When I call Mon, they always open to big eyes and mouth. Than they say “you are so young”to my mother and say“don’t call your mother Mon, just call sister”. I remember in China two years ago. When I hugged my body brother went to the church, some old women looked at us and took something. When I walked to close and sat at chairs, I heard they say: “look there have a young father”. What? I was very surprised. I want to tell you have one thing very like that. I worked at on Father’s Day in last year. When two old men came to pay money, I said “happy Father’s Day” to them. Then they say “you too. How many children do you have?” I just told them I was a high school student, than they said “Oh! OK, sorry about that.” So, I want every body don’t think about appearance. This is a big mistake.

Every one can beat the strongest
After I read the story which is about the mice, I think we all have the problem likes the mouse’s parents. They thought the sun is strongest. However, they went around everywhere and found the answer is the mouse.
I had a classmate in year eight. She was good at speaking, drawing, singing, sport, and social. She was very beautiful even the boy who I liked was interested in her. She was so perfect that I even thought I will never win. Once time, I saw she was screaming and running out from restroom. Then I went to the restroom and saw a small cockroach was on the floor. I killed it before she started to cry.
After this experience, I realize that everyone can beat the strongest. The main point is using the right way.

Everyone has weakness
I used to have a classmate., he is really fractious. If there is someone are against him, he was easy to argue with others. Even fight with others. My classmates were all afraid of him. One day, we were talking about motherhood but only he was so silence. Finally he cried. After that. We know that his mother was gone. That’s the reason why he cried in the class. I was moved by this thing. everyone has weakness even he is so fractious.

You are never the strongest

Today Mr. Nakagawa told us a story , according that story ,I know that, you are never the strongest , it must have someone who is stronger than you. This story also reminds me a thing. When I was 15 years old, school had a swimming test. it’s easy to me because I learned it before, so I always be the fastest in my class. However,I always be lazy in our training, so I didn’t get to much advance , and other classmates were very hardworking, they swam faster and faster. After the train, we had two week time to rest . In these two week I never practice swim ,and hardly forgot the test . when the date came , I went to test . my classmates all swam so fast , that me feel so scary . when I swam, I saw my classmates are all in fount of me , they swam so fast ,and I couldn't catch up with them . finally , although I pass the test , but I ‘m so down that I’ m not the first. That time I know , we can not always be the strongest in our life . so we should try our best to become stronger .

The best is very close to us

We always want the best, Want become the best person. So we always face failed. In fact the best is very close to us . we just need to find them.
I am a carper so I always I find the best one. When I was shopping I want the perfect one . when I was make friend I want choose a good person. So I always feel depression, because I can’t find the best one. Until one day.
That’s two years ago , I thought I should make some good friend who can help me improve my math grade . although I haven’t bad friends but they grade is not good. We always play computer games . so I can’t improve my grade. One day I found a good student I want make friend with he . he looks like has a little unwilling. But he didn’t refuse me. So we became “friend” I thought he should be my best friend , because we can play together, also can study together.
Trouble happened in a night . he and me and my old friend, went to internet bar. After we went back to home .it’s midnight. We walked in dark. Suddenly a man jumped out , he asked me for money! He is robber! Before I was reaction, my “best friend” that “good student” ran far from us! I was really shock! Then we must face this robber. We gave all of my money 10 yuan to him, my friend gave 15 to him, we explain :we just student , we don’t have to much money.” After that The robber let us go. After that accident I feel a little self-accusation.
We always want find the best one , that make us feel depression . we should find beauty of our life. It make our life more bright and comfortable !

Do not underestimate the small things
Edward Yao

ESL writing
Everything have their role. For example, bee is small, but can collect nectar. Ant is small, but the collective power of large. I think we cant look down on all. In this story, we can see Nazumi can get many holes in the wall. Look at that, this explains do not underestimate the small things. In the world, we dont have the strongest person. Everything have their role. But sometimes we cant find it. I like ant. Why ? Because they have the collective power of large. I have been read a story about the ant. This story explain how the ants save themselves. One day, a fire happened near the ants. The ants couldt not escape, so they grouped into a ball, then used their body to protect the other ants to left the fire. Most of ants died but there are a still a small part of the survive. That is the power for the ants. In nature, there are many things that we didnt find. Many things are not what we know. Like the ant, the bee. I like the ant. Although they looks very small and weak, but their power is so large. We needs use different way to see everything. Then we can find unusual places. In our daily life, we cant just see someone bad way. We need see all, dont just see outside. Inner beauty is the most beautiful.

We are strong person
This story told me sometimes we were strong person. Because I had a friend, and she graded was good. One day, she found me played with her and her friends. When I met her friends, and I knew they studied were so great. When they told something, I didn’t know what that. They knew so many things, when they told to me; I didn’t know how to answer them. After we went to shop, have an activity in there. That activity had a piano, if you can play it, you will have a gifts. They can’t play anything, just graded was good. So I played a song, when I finished it, so many peoples told me “good job”. I was so happy.
So we do anything, maybe you are strong person. We are different, and we had kind of ability. We don’t fear of others people. You need to thing, we are strong person.

We Can Not Always Be a Winner

When I was a junior high school student. Every main test I was second place until 9 grades. Before 9 grades, I studied not real hard. Everyday I just fished homework, and go out side to play with my classmate. I never reviewed textbook.

One day, my father asked me” Why you still second place.” I said” Because I didn’t studied hard?” He said” No.” I said” So why you said this?” He said” Because it’s 2 years. You still are second place. That’s mean you need to change your studying way. ” I didn’t hear what my dad said. I thought that‘s not important.

It was last test in 9 grades. I just got 5^th place. I was angry and sad. After I came home, my mom told me. Why I got bad grades. It’s same to my father said.

I am not surprise because I also am aware of it. Why the person who is first place didn’t change her position because she also study hard and know how to study.

Today, this story told us same thing. That is” We can’t always be a winner.”

" Need to View Wide Picture"

When arguing with my friend, I didn't view wide. Otherwise, I only found her wrong reason. I picked up some of my justice reason I'm right. I didn't listen to what she told and asked. I couldn't view all of my action and opinion by myself. I only wanted her to understand my emotion. After getting calm, I think only one person is wrong don't appear. Also, some of reason are concerned.I seemed losing my control by myself. If I had have considered widely to communicate, we would have discussed without arguing. Also, we might persuade each other.

I need to take calmly my judgment all the time.

No one is strongest,but everyone can try to be strongest

In this world ,no one is strongest,but you can try your best to become strongest,because sometimes the strongest is close to us.If you can work hard ,I think everyone can close to strongest.Like this story,sun,cloud,wind,wall all do not think they are strongest,but the mouse,he is very sure he is the strongest.

Everbody all has their best in them,they can do their best if they want to be the strongest.No noe is strongest,but everyone can try to be strongest. believe yourself,you can get it.I think it is important in your life.

“ We should think that we are strong. ’’

When I was 14 years old, my English was really bad. One day, my mom told me that we had to go America. It was shocking story to me. According to her, I had to go there because they needed me and I was the only person who could speak English. That was why she wanted to me go there with them. This is my family.. Anyway, there were 7 people included me, my younger sister, my uncles, grandmother, and my mother. We was going to go after 3 days later. I was really nervous because my mom really trusted me at that time. However I was still young. The only English that I could speak was just simple conversation. After 3 days later, we went to America. I was so scary because my grandmother was sick and there were so many people, but we arrived at America well. I think I was too young to act like guide. Actually I didn’t have to be nervous. I had to believe myself.

I arrived in Hays half a month ago. Hays is a small town in Kansas State which is quiet and natural. I like it because the air is fresh. And the sky is so huge because of short buildings. Hays is totally different with my home town. My home town, Taipei, is a big city that you can always see tall buildings and a lot of people. People who live in Taipei have busy and quick life step. I consider that Hays is a good place to enjoy a life of retirement.
My goal in writing class is be good enough to get high grade in TOFLE test. I know it is a hard goal. So I have to working hard. I think read more books can make my writing improve faster. I want to make more American friends in USA. I must practice more speaking to let my English good enough to chat with Americans easily.

I am a international student who is studying in America. After I graduated from Korea middle school, I came to America to study. Before I graduated, I have been lived in Seoul for 15 years with my family. I think I was good daughter to my parents but not good sister to my sisters. I was mean to them. But I am a friendly person. I have been living happy.

When I first came hays, it was beautiful because it was snowing little bit. I’ve never hated Hays. I already liked here. It was different with Seoul. Hays is really peaceful. Everybody say that Hays is country and there is nothing to play. But it doesn’t matter and I don’t care. I really like Hays.

In this writing class my goal is really simpler than others. Just escape from the ESL. This is my goal. I have to study hard in this class for it. There is no more goal. As far as I’m in America, my goal is simpler than writing class’ goal. I just want to graduate from here. And then I will go back to Korea. I will learn and study English as much as I can until i’m here.

"Myself"

I’m so shyness and passive personal character now. When I was younger than now, I thought I was active personal character. So, I always behaved it. However, I couldn't have behaved gradually it. I don’t know my personal character have been changing or I tried to behave it. I think I wanted to become it the time. I felt I still have wanted to behave it, but I try to enjoy my now personal character now. It seems like I can control of my personal character to not be tired. I couldn’t communicate and speak strong from me, but I have good side with them. I understand speaker’s opinion by seeing and listening carefully. Otherwise, I can guess and felt them emotion by using my experience. My bad personal character is my good one too.

Myself in America and Goals

I am a friendly person. Because when everyone talks with me, I have smile. When I was unhappy, it’s same. I also talk with anybody with smile. When I in my country, Taiwan, I am a common person because everyday I just go to school, and came back. Every week I really expect release from school on Friday because after that it’s weekend. I can go out with my friend. But now, everyday have fun in America. I live in dorm so everyday I can talk and play game with people who live in dorm, too.

After I came here, I sleep later than slept at Taiwan. I have a little no custom to the food in here. After came here, I need to wash my clothes. In here, I need to tie necktie by myself. I become more independent. Hays is more country than Taichung, my hometown. If I want to buy something, it’s not easy. In my country, we just walk 5minutes, and I can buy many things what I need.

I want my English can be well in here. Because now English is a main langue around world. So I need more speaking, writing, reading, etc. I have a good teacher, NAKAGAWA, who helps us so much. I celebrate my teacher is him.

Think Different Way

When I finished listen the story of Big Family and Small House, I learned one lesson was thinking different way. When you got some thing you do like or you complaint something. You must try to think other way because it can help you to change your mind, that you can different feeling. For example: I got a new MP3 form my mother in my birthday at two years ago. I was happy when I got it but I was sad in second day because my all friends used iPods. Only I used MP3. I was confused about it and I need to think about do I use it at school. That day at home. I heard my sister was talking with my Mom. She asked my Mom why I have new iPod and she doesn't have. She very wanted to get one, but she didn’t have. When I heard this, I had different thought about my MP3. I changed my mind and thought different way than I knew one thing. I had MP3 was batter some person does have. After that, I bring my MP3 went to school everyday.

The problem you meet is always no problem
According to the story that Mr .Nakagawa told us about the poor man , I know that you should think about it in another way. Because maybe things would be fine, if you change you mind.
for ex. I came to America by myself . I’m so sad that I thought Iwas so unlucky ,I have to leave my mother and father ,I have do everything by myself ,no one can help me. However on the other hand , I met so many new friends ,and I can learn English fast ,I can know another country’s culture . I can have a exciting experience in such a young age .so many people have same age as me ,they want to study in American but they can’t ,I’m so lucky that my parents give me such a good entironment .
So let’s change our mind , you will find that the problem you meet is always no problem.

"Do not be in happiest when you know how happy you are"
Many people are complaint about their life. Some are discontent with the relationship. Some are even unhappy with their heavy homework. They all think they are unfortunate. I was same as them at that time.
Two years ago, I went to Australia for study. It was not my choice. My parents asked me to learn English in there. I was so upset and angry that I even thought I was the poorest student in Taiwan. However, my home stay that I lived with in Australia was destitute. They did not have telephone, air conditioner and the Internet. The mother was divorce with her husband and brought up her daughter by herself. She had three careers every week. Every time I saw her, I kept thinking that I was much luckier than her.

We need to know enough
This year, some spaces had torrent in South, and this torrent was hugged. A lot of people were gone for it, and lot of builds was eroded for it. I saw so many people who stayed on the roof waited for people who helped them on TV. The water was hugged, and some schools already were broken. When the torrent was stopped, almost floors were broken. I saw they were cried on TV because their house, school, and some beautiful spaces were broken. They stayed in the shed, and the environment was so bad. I saw some students who were sited on the bed, but the water under their foot, also they studied were hard. We need to know enough because we can study at school, the environment is good.

I got my own opinion after I heard the story. I think our life like this story,we need enjoy our life now. Everyone has different experiences, each person experiences different things. I have my experience. I came to study in the U.S. I think that I am luckily that I have good parents, I have a good family conditions. Do you think everyone can come to study in the U.S ? I don't think so. Maybe many people have a good family, but not every family can take the cost of going abroad. When night falls, I always miss my family, I miss my parents, my friends . At that time I always will have an idea: go back to China. Now I think that is a big mistake. Not everyone can get this good chance in our personal way. I think I should seize the opportunity, get the good collage in my personal way. This is my purpose. So I give up to go back to China, and study hard in the daily life. Thinking more about my good chance. I am luckily than the other people. According to the story, we need enjoy our life now ! The opportunity to create the future.

"we change mind and see good side than bad one."

we can see a lot different way before changing way.

First, I have lived in America since last year, but I sometimes got nerve at first. When going to movie theater, I didn't understand content of story. I had frustration. Then, I said I wouldn't have watch move in English. If I had have changed my thinking the time, I could have spent fun time than the time and enjoyed watching a lot pictures and actors.

Second,when I went shopping, a staff asked me questions. However, I couldn't listen what she asked me. I avoided the staff and ran there away. If I had have thought nicely, I had have listened again until I would have gotten it.

Third, when meeting friend, I couldn't speak English well. So, I spoke a little and only noded. If I had have spoken more, I could have communicated and gotten along with her.

In my opinion, we can consider many kinds of way and decision by ourself, so we have to imagine before our deciding.

Thinking both side

When i studied in china ,we had exam every month. . in our school most of student study hard , only a few student didn’t study hard.
At last month exam , I really want to get good grade before I left china . especially get good math grade . but I didn’t work hard in math . only one way can get good grade . cheat.
I really want cheat one the one hand I can get good grade. on the other hand the teacher fell a sleepy . at that time a student using he’s cellphone to cheat. He’s so unluckliy he was catch by teacher . because the teacher pretend to fell a sleep . that student get “zero” mark .
After saw that I can’t cheat any more , because I think if I cheat although I can get good mark but I still can’t understand . so I decide to try my best to answer these question .
After two days I know my grade . although grade is still not good. But I am every happy ,because I am a honest student.

"see good side of things"

I always have to face many trouble things. Because I always forget something. So I usually feel every angry. It make me unhappy whole day. however now I recognize every thing doesn't has bad effect for me.
3 years ago , when I graduated from middle school , we had a graduate meeting in the morning but i was so unluckily , I sleeped too late . I was late for meting. After meeting I go back to home. When I arrived at home , my friend called me I forgot got my graduation certificate !!! I ran to school to got my graduation certificate . I said sorry to my teacher. I was so down in the hip. After half hour I arrived at home , but I forgot important thing; my key! I left my key on the bed!!! I really angry!!! But angry is unhelpful……
Now, I still usually forget something. however I never forget important things . because I remember those things forever . I think it’s benefit for me. So we should see good side of things. It’s not only good for me also make me feel happy!

Wed 25^th 08 10 Think that you are happy

When I was 15 years old, I wanted to buy something everyday. I always wanted my parents to give me money. Day by day, I spend a lot of money. My mom just gave me money because I wanted again and again. After a few days later, she thought that I have spent too much money and she decided to she was not going to give me money anymore. I was really mad at it because I needed money at that time. I complained about it to my friend and she said her mom never gave her that much money and she also said that do not complain it ever. I thought that I didn’t realize that I was happy. Also I changed my mind.

Tue 24^th 08 10 Don’t be silly

After two month later, I had big test. I thought I had enough time to study. So I didn’t study for one month. After one month later, I started to worry about it but I didn’t study. After a few weeks later, at that time, I had 2 weeks. I thought that I had to do all the study right at that time and I studied only one hour. I was totally gave it up. Three days ago before the test started, I was trying to study but I couldn’t do all of them. There were too much jobs to study. Finally on the test day, I took the test and I failed. Don’t be silly..

A man must know how to improve
Maybe I’m from other side to think the story which was told by Mr. Nakagawa. If the man did like the woman said, he would be easy to be satisfied. I think what he should do is to work hard and buy a bigger house to his family.
When I was in middle school in China. I always compared my grades with the students who were worse than me. So I was easy to be satisfied and never made progress. Gradually I became very worse. I realized that I can’t do like that anymore. I compared me and the first one in my class. So I made a great progress in my studying. Everybody never stops making progress.

Don’t request too much

When I was a child. Some times, I didn’t want to eat food what I hate. My mom told me ”If you don’t eat, imagine some people don’t have food when they are hungry. It’s plaintive right? ” I didn’t hear what my mom said. One day, when I was hungry, nobody at home. I was really hungry, and I scared that I would die. That time, I remembered what my mom said. After two hours, my father went home. He looked me while I was crying. I told him what happened. And he laughed. He told me “This is retribution." Now, I eat every food when meal stops.

Long plan
Today, I listened a story in the ESL class. The story talking about a fox wanted to eat grapes on the farm and had a dog stay there watching. I liked this fox because it tries to eat the grapes to work hard. First, it was thinking about how does it going on of the farm. Next, it dug a tunnel everyday but it was very small. Than, it don’t eat food to make body become the slim. Last, it ate the grapes, but it became a fat fox and it can not use the small tunnel go to the outside. I learned about we do every thing before need to think a long plan because we need a good ending for us and this is very important. Look this fox. It wanted to eat the grapes, so it tries to work and work. If have some questions, it keep thinking to get answer. It was very happy when it eats the grapes, but didn’t be safe to go back. The dog was found it. This story tell us when do something, we need to think a plan and this is a long plan. It must have beginning to ending and after ending. For example: you have a test. Than you study hard and get good point. After this, do we need keep study? We need. Before the fox come to the farm. The fox must need to think about when it finishes eating.

Different view on life
Y ao
8/24/2010
ESL writing
After I finished reading the story, I learned that we need get different view to deal with our daily life. According to the story, The fox doesn’t give up that is everything we need to apply. The fox waiting day by day, I think he can give up and go to found the other targets if he is luckly enough. But he doesn’t , he just waiting at here. This is one place where we can learn. In the daily life, if we get problem,we cant immediately give up,we need try to do that. On the other hand of the story, I think we need look beyond, and think more for each thing. Don’t just pay attention to the immediate, like the fox. He eats enough,but he cant go back. So he must get hungry for many days . That is so stupid. That is my opinion for this story.
