Once upon a time, there was a wild donkey(驴) and a tame(驯养的) donkey.
The wild donkey was thin and small. He1 his life outdoors. The grass on the hill was his food all the year round. Sometimes, he had to walk miles to find fresh water 2 at night there was always danger from wolves. The tame donkey was 3 and strong. During summer he ate the rich grass while in winter he had corn and hay (干草)to eat. There was always fresh water for him to drink and at night he stayed safely in 4 stable (马厩).
The wild donkey always wished he5 live like the tame donkey.
One day, the wild donkey 6 food on the hill. Looking down, he saw the tame donkey 7 slowly along the road, carrying a heavy load of wood. As he watched, the tame donkey stopped 8 some grass by the roadside. Suddenly, his owner began to beat him 9 a stick.
"I've changed my mind about your way of life, " thought the wild donkey. "I see that you have to pay 10 for the food they give you. "
Like two different worlds
I come from London in England- a very big city! Over 81people live there, and it's always busy with tourists. So moving to a little town2only 15 ,000 people was a big change for me! I am living in a little town in Germany now.
In the countryside, the towns are3so everyone knows each other. At home in London, I don't even know my neighbours! Another nice thing about the countryside is that it's very green and there's lots of fresh air. I like nature, and it's nice to see4the seasons change the trees. My favourite thing about living in the countryside is that at night I can see thousands of5. At home I can hardly see any! That's because there's6light in the city, but here everything is dark and the stars twinkle in the sky.
One thing I do like about living in a city is that it's7to travel. We have the subways, buses and trains, and we even have buses that run all night. Here, the last train is before 9 pm, and there's only one in an hour! Another good thing about cities is that there are lots of8 ， so you can usually find what you need. Here there aren't many shops,9I have to go to the nearest city!
I always thought I was a city girl, but now I like the countryside too. They are like two different worlds, but10are like home !
Taiwan island, the biggest island of China, is between the South and East China Seas. Almost two-thirds of the island is covered by mountains.

A very important world problem is the growing population on the earth. The population of the world today is more than 6, 500, 000,000. That is a great number and we know it quite well. The important thing is not how large the population of the world is now, but is the rate of the growth— it is about 1.63 percent every year.
Every second, four babies are born in the world. Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! You can not speak quickly enough to keep up with the birth rate. The population is growing larger and larger. In one day, people have to find food for over 350, 000 mouths.
This great growing population will make a big problem—there have been over 7 billion people on the earth. So this is one of the biggest problems which you are going to see in your life.
