One day, as usual, Time was taking the MRT to school. Seeing there was only one seat left, he didn’t care if it was a priority seat but sat down without hesitation. Soon after, an old man walked in at a slow pace, standing beside Tim. Although noticing the man was in need and all the other passengers were staring at him, Tim still chose to focus on playing his mobile phone. It was not until a business man, who couldn’t tolerate anymore, asked Tim to yield the seat to the old man did he stand up reluctantly.

 

Tim kept grumbling about the incident the whole day, even when he was playing basketball at school. However, since he was paying too much attention on complaining, he didn’t watch out where the ball was. “Ouch!” Tim cried out painfully, as he slipped down on the court because of stepping on the ball carelessly. He tried hard to stand up, but his ankle was injured so seriously that he soon gave up. Unfortunately, he couldn’t walk normally without assisting objects.

 

On the way home by taking the MRT, Tim found out that there was no vacant priority seat. Frustrated of that, he then saw a girl seemingly at the same age with him, was occupying the seat in front of him. Feeling ashamed of the girl’s behavior, he simultaneously recalled what he had done in the morning and realized it was definitely his faults. Later, Tim asked the girl if he could have the seat angrily because he was disabled. Unwillingly, the girl stopped reading and strode away angrily. Tim was shocked, thinking it was no doubt that the girl should yield the seat but she acted as if he were the person who was wrong. He finally sympathized with the old man, whom he had done something awful to.

 

Since then, Tim never occupied priority seats unless he was really in need. Moreover, when seeing others who was unreasonably sitting on the seats, he would jumped out as a symbol of justice, asking them to yield the seat to those in need, which made him gleeful to his heart content.

When I was a twelfth grader, I was a selfish, arrogant young man who never showed sympathy to others. I remember that during the times I commuted to school, the MRT was always crowed with people. Not willing to stand all the way, I often threw my school bag on a vacant seat as soon as I saw one to prevent others from occupying “MY” seat. Then, I took out my cell phone and began to play the games in it. Sometimes, I seemed to hear some whispers that were criticizing me about my bossy attitude, but I didn’t really keep those in mind. There were often many elder passengers who weren’t fast enough to occupy a seat as I did, standing helpless in front of me. I know they were suggesting that I should give away my seat, but that thought never occurred to me.

 

One day, I was playing basketball with my friends at school. We were having a very close fight so I strived to get the ball to win the game. However, as I rushed toward the guy who was controlling the ball, I was tripped by his leg and tumbled on the ground. “Ouch!!!” I groaned with pain as I wrenched my ankle. “Oh, I am so sorry!” said the guy who threw the ball away and helped me up. I got my sprung ankle wrapped with some bandage, but it still hurt so much that I could hardly move. Since I became handicapped. I could no longer occupy seats as fast as I could before. Ironically, I became the one standing helplessly in front of people to beg them to give away their seats. Sadly, I was often ignored just as the way as the elder passengers had been ignored by me. I finally realized how heart-chilling it was to be neglected when I was in need. As I stood helplessly in front of the absent-minded passengers sitting ahead me, I saw that selfish young man who I used to be in their apathetic faces. Regretfully, I reflected on my previous attitude, and determined to give away seat to people in need from now on.

     My favorite book is the romance novel "Gone with the Wind."  In the novel, a young woman, Scarlette O'Hara, tells everyone that she is in love with a man named Ashley Wilkes.  But there is another man, Rhett Butler, who has a powerful effect on her, and it is not until Rhett decides to leave that Scarlett realizes who she truly loves.  The book is about truth and imagination.  What we believe we are is not necessarily what we really are.  

      In addition to the love story, I also appreciate the philosophy of Scarlett.  For her, "Tomorrow is another day." When I am in a low mood, I always tell myself that tomorrow will be a better day.  Reading "Gone with the Wind" is not only enjoyable, but also true, to me, about the definition of tomorrow.

    Eggs are my favorite food.  I like eggs for several reasons.  Firstly, eggs are very nutritious; they contain protein which is good for our health.  Secondly, they always taste good, no matter how they are cooked.  What's more, cooking and eating them is very easy.  Lastly, eggs are not expensive, and can be eaten every day.

    Eggs often accompany other foods, adding to their fine taste.  For me, two slices of toast with a fried eggs is the best choice for breakfast.  Some cooks think adding eggs to soup can make the flavor of the soup better.  Small as eggs are, they are an important ingredient of many dishes, so it would be hard to imagine food without eggs.
