Since the first case of “Cow Cold” was reported in Kirk State in June, this killer cold has moved up north faster than we thought it would. By July, almost every part of the country had been attacked by Cow Cold. In only two months, the number of dead cows has risen to 5,000. Though Cow Cold started in the south, the east of the country is the worst hit area. By this week, 80% of the farms in Osten State have reported cases of Cow Cold.

The sale of milk in Osten State has slumped because of Cow Cold. Before Cow Cold, the sale of milk in Osten State was $2.5 million each week; now it is less than $500,000.

Odin State is the only area in the north without cases of Cow Cold. Before we know how to deal with Cow Cold, we can only hope Odin State will be lucky enough not to experience the power of this killer cold.

Ted sat next to me when we were in elementary school.　He had serious problems in communicating with people.　One always had to guess what he was saying.　Besides, most of my classmates did not like to be with him because his hands and shirts were always dirty.　I 38 let him know the importance of being clean by telling him several times a day to wash his hands.　But he just could not understand.

One day, our teacher Miss Hsieh walked up to Ted.　Without saying anything, she took Ted to the washroom.　Slowly, Miss Hsieh washed his hands and told him that he should keep himself clean.　She 39 that every day for one month.　Finally, Ted understood.

Miss Hsieh's love has given me a good example to follow when I 40 my job. I always remember to teach my students by showing them the right ways to do things.　And most important of all, I always remember to give them more time to learn and to grow up.

My mother is always busy. During the day, she sits in front of the computer and writes stories for children. Mom always says that writing is the most important thing in her life. She enjoys it a lot and also gets paid for her writing. That makes her happy because she has three daughters to bring up.

Mom always tries to finish her writing before we get back in the evening. By doing so, she has more time to be with us. Mom loves talking and reading with us, but she hates cooking and cleaning. So we have learned how to do housework since we were very young.

Mom is always busy writing and taking care of us, but she is always smiling. To me, my mother is the most beautiful woman in the world.
