Kate and I, high school classmate, often spend a lot of time shop together. I enjoy Kate's friendship,
but one of her habit is really starting to bother me. When there aren't any trashcans around, she just throws
her trash on ground. One Saturday afternoon, we went to their favorite part of town. The busy streets and
a large number stores made it a great place to shop. We were hungry, so we buy some fried chicken to eat
as we have walked around. Just as we finished eating, Kate noticed some dresses in a store window. She
was readily to shop, left me looking around for a trashcan so that we wouldn't litter.

     My dentist had just pulled out one of my tooth and had told me to rest for while. My mouth
was full with cotton wool. He knew I collected bird eggs and asks me whether my collection was

nod or make strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy search out the hole where the tooth
had been. I suddenly felt very worried, so couldn't say everything. When the dentist at last removed
the cotton wool, I was able to tell him of that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

     Schools should be clean and pure place. But now something bad happens. Some students cheated
in examinations at school. As students, we often have examinations, many of which are sometime too
difficult for us. In addition, some students not work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations,
they are dishonest in order that get better results to please his parents and teachers. I think it wrong to
cheat in examinations though it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to
get good grades in studying hard instead of by cheating in the examinations. What's more, we should
improve our study methods and get good prepared for examinations.
