Today is the third day in Florida， the USA. You will never know I went today. I visited the Harry Potter Theme Park! It was really a great for Harry Potter fans.
In the theme park， I saw all the places in the movies， such as the school， the stores and the restaurant. I also went into these buildings and took a lot of pictures. I had lunch in the park， but I didn't in dollar. I used the money in the movies. Wasn't it interesting?
As a Harry Potter fan， I really wanted to Harry Potter and his friends in the park. ， it was a pity that I didn't. But I got a chance to fly like them. It was exciting!

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often laughed at her. She would open a , pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted (收养 ) by a family, and they thought that the best way for her to American ways of life is to be with American kids. I looked at this small girl and promised myself that I must help her.
But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect .
I was surprised and thought that she could do in the coming talent show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s ,” said Miss Parker, and then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And ,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “We have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students painted them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could that well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I realized, at that time when I was looking at her face, she’d probably never owned anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to clap their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right. ”
