    We can conduct an easy experiment to show that black is a better collector of solar energy than white. Prepare two tin cans, black and white paint as well as a room thermometer. Firstly, paint the cans one black and the other white. Secondly, fill both cans with water. Thirdly, put the cans in direct sunlight for three hours. Lastly, check the temperature of the water in the cans and compare. And you will find the temperature of the water in the black can is higher. According to the result above, it is clear that black is a better collector of solar energy than white.

     It is easy to pot a plant if you follow the right procedure. First of all, cover the bottom of pot with plenty of small stones. Second, put two inches of soil on the top of the rocks. Third, make a hole in the center of soil, which you can do it with your finger. Next, drop the plant you like into the soil. Then, add some soil until it almost reaches top of the pot. After that, press the soil down with thumbs to make it even and solid. Finally, water the plant along the edge of the pot. With above steps and you will find that potting a plant is anything but difficult.

A Frightening Experience_Revised

It was the most horrible experience that I had had in my ninth grade.

We students had to study at school at night and take turns throwing the leftover. That night was my turn to do this task, and whoever was responsible for this job had to go down the dark, vastly long corridor and trees alone. Just after my several steps to go back, I heard a slight sound which was like something falling on the ground. Suddenly, I noticed that there was an object in front of me, just four meters away. Since all lights had turned off, I couldn’t recognize what it was. Additionally, I was too afraid to get close to the unknown stuff. What with the appearance of the moon, what with my eyes’ adaptation to the darkness; gradually, the identity of the figure finally came out.

It was a pigeon whose chest was rotten with a large amount of blood pouring out from it. As the pigeon fell from the air to the ground, I stiffly moved my sight up and was surprised to find the suspect easily, partly  because it smack stood on the branch which was above its prey, and partly because there was only one animal, a squirrel, which had a bloody mouse looking down from trees.

I was stunned into silence as I saw the squirrel’s eyes staring sharply at the moribund, shivering pigeon, and some sort of fright took the place of my favor to gentle squirrels.

A Dream -revisedⅠ

　A dream I have had was a touching one. It was about me and a boy who was the most popular boy in my class.

　One day, my classmates and I went to the department store, and so did he. While I was shopping with my friends, he talked to me again and again. Although I admired him, I didn’t want to have a love affair. Later, he came to chat with me when I was alone. During the conversation, I escaped for the excuse of going to the restroom and didn’t go back. After walking alone for a while, I still went back for discomfort. However, he was not there anymore. With regret, I searched all the floors but didn’t see him. Several hours later, I finally found him at the top floor. On seeing me, he rushed to me and held me tight. I felt like saying something but only to find my tears rolling down my cheek. Not until the moment did I realize that I liked him very much.
