I used to be very shy. When I was in Grade 7, our Chinese teacher asked all of the students in our class to give a speech at the beginning of our Chinese lesson. When we got this assignment (作业), I felt a little afraid.
"What should I do?" I thought.
The day to give our speeches finally arrived. Although I had all the materials I needed, I was still worried about whether I would be a good speaker. At that moment, my friend Christina came over and told me to relax. She said she was sure that I could give an excellent speech. This made me feel a lot better.
Finally, it was my turn. I took a deep breath and began my speech. But I forgot the first sentence. I was so sad. Then, I saw Christina's eyes. I found she was smiling at me. I remembered what she said and felt more confident. Everyone, including Christina, thought my speech was great and I was proud of myself.
Sometimes, one simple encouragement can mean a lot to others. So try to encourage others and then all of us will feel happy.

I'm Bill. I lived in a small village before I was ten. Then my father found a job in a city near the country, so all my family moved to the city. Today I still clearly remember the time when I lived in that village. My mother worked in a tea-making factory. It was very small, and only had thirty workers. The factory building was divided into two parts. The first part was larger, with lots of machines. There were about ten rooms in the second part. Some were used as offices; the others were used as bedrooms for workers. We lived in one of those rooms. Although it was very small, it was comfortable. We loved each other and lived happily. The room was always full of laughter. There was a hill full of bamboos near the factory. This kind of plant was green and straight. Also, it looked neat, especially after rain. In front of our room was a garden. My mother grew plenty of vegetables and fruit there, such as cabbages, carrots, potatoes, watermelons and tomatoes. So we didn't need to buy vegetables from the market.
It is a long time since I left the village But that was really the most pleasant time in my life.
