“What can you do when you have done nothing but make your whole life in a mess?” These were the words I heard when I the TV the other day.They were coming from one of the talk that are very popular on TV these days. I started to turn the channel but the words made me for a moment. I the speaker. He was even not more than 18 years old, he was already writing off(摒弃)his life as a useless waste.
It is sad that many people are like him.There are so many people who like that talk show. There are people their teens thinking that their lives are over. There are people in their twenties thinking that they have missed the boat to success and happiness.There are people in their thirties and forties that their life has passed them by. I want to shout to them, “Wake up! You are not dead!What have you done today?” If you want a happy life,you can’t only think about your before. If you want joys and love in your life,you have to start to get today.God gives us a new life every day we wake up in the morning. It is for you to get it.
Today must be the of a new life for each of us. We can get joys right now. We can share love today. We can live in happy moment right now.It doesn’t matter hard your life has ever been.Our life today can be full of joys and our future can be full of . It doesn’t matter if we are eight eighty--we can still make our life . Life is not over until your last heartbeat. Start today, then,to make your heart beat with joys, love and light.

Last year, over 11,000 abandoned dogs were put down by government dogcatchers. Why? Because there was too little kennel space to keep them. Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) is a charity that rescues and finds homes for unwanted dogs. It’s a huge task and if this had received more support last year, fewer dogs would have been put down.
To support the efforts of HKDR, the Social Service Club held a fun festival last weekend. ‘We hoped the festival would raise money and also raise people’s awareness of the point of abandoned pets,’ said Louise Wong, the club president.
The club organized stalls second-hand clothes, delicious homemade cupcakes and even the fashions to keep pet dogs warm in the winter. Although there were fewer stalls than last year, items were sold. Louise explained that this was because prices were not set too high this year.
The festival also performances by the school choir and the hip hop group HK Boys. The crowd was extremely excited, and some members of the said there was too much noise to hear the performers. Louise admitted that everyone would have been able to hear if there had been better sound equipment.
The most interesting part of the day was the dance challenge, with contestants(选手) showing off some amazing moves. This year there were more contestants than last year. According to Louise, that was because the prizes, including G. E.M. concert tickets, were better. , this year’s fun festival was a big success. It raised far more money than last year: a record HK$12,000. And the festival also raised joy among the special guests – some of our four legged friends from HKDR!

There is a bar (酒吧) in our town with the name "The White Horse". It is Mr Webster’s. people went to the bar last year. But things are quite different now.
There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. Then a stranger came in one day, drank something, around the bar, and then said to Mr. Webster, “Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put a picture of a black horse .”
“But the name of the bar is The White Horse,” Mr. Webster said. “Yes, but do it.” the man said. Then he went out of the bar. Mr. Webster went to and said, “I want a picture of a black horse.”
later a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of the white horse. Soon after the door , a man came in and said, “There’s a on the door of your bar. It is surprising that the picture is different from the name.” The man looked, sat down and something. Then another man came in and said , and then another and another.
