Patrick never does homework. "Too boring," he says. He always plays baseball and basketball after school. His teachers tell him, "Patrick! Do your homework, or you can't learn anything." But what can he do? He hates homework.
One day, his cat was playing with a little "doll". He found it wasn't a doll at all, but a man of the smallest size. The man called, "Save me! Don't give me back to that cat. I have magic. I will help you if you save me!"
How lucky he was! Here was the answer to all of his problems. So he said, "If you help me to do my homework until the last day of school, I will get good grades." The man agreed. He began to do Patrick's homework. The man didn't always know what to do and he needed help. "Help me! Help me!" he said. And Patrick had to help. Day after day, Patrick had to work harder. Finally the last day of school arrived and the man was free to go. As for homework, Patrick didn't hate doing it any more. Patrick got his A's. His teachers and classmates were all surprised. Who really helped Patrick?
It was the first day of Han Jing in senior high. Being shy, she was a little (anxiously). She wanted to make a good first (impress) and was afraid that nobody would talk to her. In the morning, she had her first maths class. Though it was difficult, the teacher was kind friendly. He even told a funny story, and everyone (laugh) so much! She found most of her classmates and teachers friendly and (help). In the afternoon, Han Jing had her chemistry class in the new science lab. Though the lesson was great, the guy next to her tried to talk to her the whole time, making her not concentrate the experiment. She was (real) annoyed. What a day! This morning, she was worried that no one would talk to her. But in fact she didn't feel awkward or (frighten) at all. She even believed she would make new friends there, and there's a lot(explore) in senior high. She felt much more confident and believed tomorrow would be great day!
