tree top crystal（水晶）star was in its place. a few green branches reached out a little awkwardly（难看）at the side, i thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. but the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of christmas. its not like the one you used to find, my mother went on. yours were always in good shape. i suppose the gates boy

used a wheelchair from the age of 7. at first, she was not keen on(热爱) sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. but in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously.
