My classmates and I were playing happily on the playground when I let out a cry, “Ow!Ow! Something in my shoe is biting* me.”Everyone was shocked by the cry. They took me into a classroom and were about to take off my_. “Which foot is it?”One asked “let us have a look.”Suddenly, I remembered the holes in_socks.My family was very poor during those years.

Youre not even sure if anyone knows youre down there. A soccer team of 12 young Thai boys, as well as their coach, had to go through this experience this summer. They became trapped in a cave in Thailand on June 23, spending 18 days inside until they were saved by an international team of divers(潜水员）. After hearing the news that a former Thai Navy SEAL(海军海豹突击队员）died while trying to save these kids, my friends and I talked about the situation and felt as if there might be no way to get the children out. But we held out hope anyway. We refused to give up hope for these kids, even when the situation seemed quite dark. We were rewarded(奖励)for our hope when they were finally saved. It can be hard to hold out hope in dark times. Every day, we read or hear about the terrible things that happen in the world. This makes it hard for us to stay positive. Some people go through their lives thinking that the worst is always just around the corner. However, I believe that its especially important to stay positive during difficult times. This is the best way to deal with the challenges that we face in life. As people often say: there is always a light at the end of the tunnel(隧道).42 .

Parents “My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying its her dream to wear mini-skirt to school every day,” a mom complained. “Girls also talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniform! If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they study well? I prefer the sports wear which makes me think of health and positive(积极的) thinking.”Students The students are sorry about the schools final decision. They think the sports wear uniforms make them look androgynous (难分性别). They said the Korean-style uniform has many advantages such as raising interest in class and lifting confidence. It is also considered to be a good way to develop their sense of pride for the school and help then create good temperaments(气质). As for romance, the students believe that love is love and has nothing to do with the uniform. School “The plan to change the school uniform from sports wear has been cancelled,” Mr Lin, a teacher, told the interviewer.“The students dislike the present uniform, most of students prefer Korean style school uniforms. We know cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou have changed their sports wear school uniforms to more fashionable uniforms. However, we had to stop the plan because many parents are strongly against it. Some parents think its just a way for the school to make money, and others think the new uniforms will take students attention away from their studies,” Lin said. When asked about the problems with early romance between students because of the more fashionable uniforms, Lin said he hadnt considered it. He, however, agreed that the Korean-style uniform makes the students more attractive.Education department“We dont have a unified (统一的) standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sports wear or uniforms are OK,” an official said.
