The ship was very old and could not sail for more than once. So we spent five hours to clean the ship quickly. We sailed after we had done our cleaning. The four sailors were waiting for us to put the luggage inside the ship. When we were in the middle of the sea, we saw a basketball court there. There were many famous athletes.
We saw Thunder and many NBA stars, and we were very amazed. When the ship turned back, we saw an old ship. We saw the word “Titanic” painted on it. It crashed into an ice mountain. We wondered why the ship was here and not in the bottom of the sea. Some passengers fell into the sea, others rushed to the lifeboats.
We saw the ship sinking. Jacky wanted to help a child and he jumped into the sea. Suddenly, there was another big boat crashing into Jacky and we lost him.
We lost the captain and the four sailors did not know how to drive the ship. We swam near the boat and saw Jacky trying very hard to swim back to the water surface. We were very scared because there was a shark swimming after him. We were swimming faster than before and went back to the ship. When we went to the bathroom, we were shocked to find a small swimming pool. We thought the space was not real.
When we went back to the bank, there was an old car. It belonged to Jacky’s father. We went to Jacky’s home and attended his birthday party. We saw a pop singer singing at his home. We were very amazed and sang with her happily.
We went to school the next day, and everyone forgot everything happening yesterday except myself. I was very scared and did not go sailing anymore. When Jacky and I played football, he brought a basketball. I thought something was unreal. Was it a dream?

Johnny turned on the light of his mobile phone, and we went to the correct exit. We went to the Call Center and said, “Can you give me a bottle of alcohol and a rope? My friend fell into the hole!”
The staff went with us and said, “Where did you find the hole?” Johnny said, “It was near the Chinese haunted house!” We went there and found Jason there. He was scared and yelled, “I… saw a ghost there!” We turned back and saw a Chinese ghost. There was some blood on his face and he had a man on his back. The man was covered with blood too!

The Unfair Class
When I was eight years old, I was not very happy in my class. I was in class 3D, and I always answered my teacher’s questions. I had three best friends there. They were called Anson, Ma and Tony. We always played the Superman game. Ma was our leader. I was the second leader. Whenever I went to school on foot with my mother, my friends would chat with me.
One day, my teacher asked me how to solve a math question. The question was 7-2x9. I was always very happy to answer these questions. I was very certain and answered, “The answer is 45!” My teacher said angrily, “Why?” I said loudly, “It is because 7-2=5, then 5x9 is 45!” Other students laughed at me and someone shouted, “Alex is a fool, the question is very easy!” My teacher said I did not concentrate, so he ordered me to stand up during the whole class.
My teacher asked my classmates another question, “What is 8+2x9? Jenny, can you answer it?” Jenny stood up and answered, “It is 90!” When Jenny said the answer, I thought, “It is wrong, Jenny will need to stand up during class!” But my teacher said, “Sorry, you are wrong! It is because we need to multiply before adding! Sit down!”
I shouted at my teacher, “Why didn’t Jenny need to stand up during class?” My friends shouted too. My teacher said angrily, “It is because Jenny was careless! But you were not concentrating!” I was very angry and shouted, “How did you know I was not concentrating and Jenny was?” My teacher did not say anything and he took me to the Discipline Office.
My teacher said to the teacher at the Discipline Office that I was naughty in math class. He shouted to me angrily. The Discipline Office teacher asked, “Why were rude to your teacher?” I told her everything.
I went to my class again. The bell rang and it was recess. I played the Superman game with my best friends. Suddenly, my Math teacher found me and took me to the Discipline Office again. He said to me, “Sorry, I can’t say you were not concentrating, I have hurt your feelings!” From then on, my Math teacher always took care of me and Math became my favorite subject!

Sam's Turning Point
Sam did not have any friends, because he was very poor. The other children only played with a rich child, Ken. When Sam went to school, he was very good at swimming, so he used all his money to buy swimming trunks. Sam was very happy to have them, so he went to the river everyday. Sam went to the river and swam very fast. A swimming coach saw him and took him to a swimming pool. Sam was very amazed, because it was his first time to go to a swimming pool.
The coach said, “I am a swimmer in the Hong Kong team. I am Tom. If you can swim 50 meters in less than 0.9 seconds, I will make you a swimmer of the Hong Kong team!” Tom thought, “Sam can’t do it this time!” When Sam finished swimming, he checked the time and said, “Sorry, I was very slow, I will be faster!” Tom was very amazed, because Sam finished in 0.874 seconds. Tom apologized to Sam, “Can you join our team?”
Tom used a lot of money to help Sam to be a good swimmer. When Sam was 16 years old, he could swim very fast. He won nine competitions in the swimming gala of his school. Tom was very famous in the school.
Sam went to Beijing to join the Olympics one month later. He joined eight competitions and he won them all. He was the first Hong Kong athlete to win swimming gold medals. When he went back to Hong Kong, many reporters asked him, “How do you feel after winning eight medals?” Sam answered, “I thank my coach, my family and all my fans!”
Sam and his family became rich and his family did not need to work anymore. Tom told Sam, “You can’t be proud, you need to join other competitions! You can have one week to rest!” After Tom left Sam’s big house, Sam went to the river to swim again. Although he moved to another place, he always swam in the river.
When he went to school, many students played with him and he had many friends. The principal said, “Sam is our example. Although he is poor, he is very hard-working!”

Whenever Jacky forgot something, Yoyo would remind him. Jacky felt very lucky and they had a baby. Jacky called the baby Annie. One night, a man burned their house. Yoyo went out of the house and she caught the man. Then, they found a new house. Jacky knew Yoyo was the mountain’s guardian. He did not want to lose her and they lived happily in the new house.

When I was 10 years old, we went to the cinema and watched another movie. But we sat very close to the screen. When we watched the movie, I asked again, “Why aren’t we caught into the screen?” My parents answered, “It is not true. But if we sit close to the screen, we will be short-sighted.” Afterwards, I thought I was very stupid. I would not trust everything my parents said.
