My Adolescence
I had my adolescence when I was
thirteen.
It started with acne that showed
up on my face. It was very annoying. It lowered my self-esteem and I was
embarrassed to come out of my house and play with friends.
Fortunately, my Mum gave me a
good medicine. In three weeks, the acnes started to vanish although those
showed some black spots in my face.
That was my bad experience with
adolescence, though there were still lots of good experience too.

There
are millions of plants and animals living in the sea. Most of the plants and
animals living in the oceans are extremely small and float near the surface of
the water. They are food for huge numbers of small animals that also live near
the surface. Together, they are all known as plankton.
Many fish feed on this plankton, including one of the largest, the whale shark. Despite their great size, certain whales live entirely on plankton. The blue whale is the largest animal ever to live. It grows to a length Of over 100 feet. The humpback whale is a smaller kind and has long flippers. It can jump right out the water. The Californian grey whale makes long migrations every year – it spends the summer feeding in the Artic but swims south to the warmer waters off the coast of Mexico in the winter. The females give birth in the shallow, warm water there.
Many of the fish in the sea may be eaten by other meat-eaters. Sharks, for example, are some of the fastest hunters, although not all of them eat other fish.
Deep down in the oceans live many strange fish. It is so dark down there that many of these fish have “light” on them, which are used for attracting smaller fish for the larger ones to eat.
Jellyfish are peculiar-looking creatures ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to 6 feet across. They don’t really swim but drift in the currents of the open oceans. Although they contain a powerful sting, they are often eaten by turtles. Turtles are reptiles that spend most of their eggs on sandy beaches.

NARATIVE
CINDERELLA
Once upon a
time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother
and two step sisters.
The step mother
and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very
badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such
as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the
family. The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house.
Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two
step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son was going to
give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time
choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and
away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had
left.
“Why are crying,
Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing
beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well”
said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining
girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.
Magically, the
fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman
and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand,
and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass
slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then
away she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was
having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king’s son.
Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly
as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind.
A few days
later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted
the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small
for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the
king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the
page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was
driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were
married and live happily ever after.
