    There was a park near my home. 1I didn't go there often. Many people said there was 2 .

    One afternoon, I went into  3and found it was really small. I walked4because there was nothing much to see. Suddenly*, I found myself standing in front of two paths. “Which way should I go?” I asked myself when I looked at the two different paths. One was wide and clean 5flowers on both sides. But6 didn't look nice. It was narrow*and dirty. Grass grew everywhere. Of course I wanted to take the 7way. But a strange feeling made me choose the dirty path. It wasn't nice, but I didn't give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a nice small garden there, maybe 8 garden in my hometown. There were green trees, colorful flowers and lovely chairs. I thought it was the nicest area of the park. And I spent a 9 afternoon in it.

    My trip to the park made me understand something about life. Why not 10a different way next time? Don't be afraid! You may get a big surprise.
