What’s your favorite weather? Do you like sunny or rainy  days? Many people like sunny days a lot. They don’t like rain.  They think rain makes them feel sad. During a long vacation,they like going to the beach to enjoy the sunshine（阳光）.     Sunshine makes them feel very good and happy.
I like sunshine very much,but I also enjoy rain. I enjoy the sound （声音）of rain. It makes me feel quiet. On rainy days,I like listening to music and reading books,or just looking athe rain and daydreaming.(做白日梦) When you daydream,you don’t think about other things. I think it’s a good way to relax  when it rains.
Sunshine can make one run around and rain can make one    quiet, so I hope you can feel happy ,rain or shine.

“What’s the matter, mum?” When I came home yesterday, I found my mother was unhappy. It was unusual—she usually opened the door and welcomed me with a smile. “She’s dying (死),” mum said sadly. I knew what she said. The tulip (郁金香), mother’s favorite, was dying.
A month ago, we moved into our new house and mum bought a very beautiful tulip. Mum liked it very much. Every time she was free, she would sit near the tulip and enjoyed its beautiful color and nice smell. She treated (对待) it like a baby and looked after it carefully. She put the tulip by window and moved it from one place to another to give the tulip enough sunshine. Every morning the first thing she did was to water the tulip. Mum also fertilized (施肥) it many times. She hoped the tulip would become more and more beautiful and stronger. But the tulip was dying because of too much sunshine, water and fertilizer.
It’s true that mother loved the tulip. But this kind of love can be harmful (伤害的). Love can sometimes kill (杀害) what you love.
