I like all kinds of chocolate, especially bitter chocolate. So when Mother had bought one, I couldn’t help thinking about 36 .
I was helping Father in the yard when suddenly I got an idea. I could cut a piece 37 that chocolate without anyone knowing it.
I waited 38 Mother went outside feeding the chickens. Then I told Father I wanted to go for a drink of water. I went into the room and got the 39 down. Just when I had the knife ready to cut, I heard Mother coming. So I had to put the chocolate 40 into my shirt,
went to my mom and 41 the chocolate there. And then I went back to 42 Father.
All the rest of the afternoon, I didn’t dare to look at Father. Every time he spoke, it made me jump. My hands began shaking and my heart started 43 fast. I didn’t want the chocolate any more. I 44 wanted to get a chance to put it back.

I have so many rules at home just like at school. My parents give me ‘rules’ because they want me to become a nice girl.
The first one is that I cannot watch online videos without parents’ permission. When I was in Grade 3 , I was about a cartoon series, ‘Balala Fariry’. One day, as I was walking home, I suddenly got a good idea: ‘Why not for this cartoon series on the Internet and watch it online before Mom comes home?’
When I arrived home, I turned on the and found the series online. Then I turned it down and watched it . But when it played to the most exciting part, Mom walked in…
She asked me why I watched that cartoon series before my homework. I didn’t answer because I was so afraid. Then she wanted to know if I watched other videos on the computer the night before , and I said I didn’t. She knew I was lying(说谎), she saw the historical record(记录)on the computer. She was so me because I lied; that was something she really cared about. That day , I two rules . The first one : no television , video games or computer videos before homework is finished; the second rule: be . From then on , I never lied again.

I’ve never thought about talking with a stranger online before. I thought it was dangerous, but last month I it. Let me tell you what happened. I set up my speaker and my microphone (话筒) and then began walking into different kinds of , because I didn’t know which room was right me. I just wanted to find a native (本地的)English speaker to talk to, I failed(失败).Several days later, I went online again and an English speaking room. I hoped this room would become a good place for learners. The third time, I stayed in my room, and several people entered it. There were two native English speakers. One was from the UK, and the other was from Australia. It was too because neither of them had a microphone.
couldn’t speak to us but just typed words so our conversation went on . However, I learned a lot from that conversation. I thought I have known a lot about English, but the fact is that I still have a way to go. I will work harder.
