我曾经读了一个非常感人的故事，名称是“致命的跳伞”，在叙述一个名叫汤姆的人和他的朋友之间的友谊。
一天，汤姆，好友和另外5个人要乘飞机飞过一个人迹罕至的海峡。飞机飞到一半，忽然，汤姆发现飞机上的油料不够了。
汤姆一将这个消息传达，好友便对汤姆说：“没关系，我们有降落伞！汤姆，我带这5个人先跳，你开好飞机，最后在适当时间再跳吧！”说完，好友便带领5个人跳了下去。
飞机上只剩下汤姆了。他也正要跳时，发现好友给他的包里没有降落伞，是一包旧衣服！他很气好友，但是又非常紧张，只好往前开，能开多远算多远。油料正要用尽时，突然，一片海岸出现在汤姆的眼前！他用力拉纵杆，飞到了岸上，逃避了死亡。
半个月后，汤姆回到他和好友所住的小镇。他生气地把好友那包旧衣服还给好友的家庭，然后气愤愤地对他们说，好友想用那包旧衣服把他害死。他把袋子给好友的妻子时，一张字条掉了出来：
我的好兄弟，机下是鲨鱼区，跳下去必死无疑。不跳，没油的飞机不堪重负，会很快坠海。我带他们跳下后，飞机减轻了重量，肯定能滑翔过去。。。你就大胆地向前开吧，祝你成功！
面对生死存亡的危机时刻，好友决定把生的希望留给汤姆，自己丧失性命，真是一个好友。我觉得这个故事令人感动。

假期功课
唉哟，假期功课那么多，我哪做得完？真是的，回学校没这么好玩了吧。我说错话了。。。幸好还有两天，所以不用着急。我也不知道要讲些什么，开学了，每天又是忙得要命，这也是功课。。。老师，求求您，不要给那么多功课！！！
用最断的时间，完成功课，是最好的，所以，不再讲太多了，再见！

我的邻居
我的家坐落在斜阳道入口处的组屋区。住在组屋区的好处就是邻居都很友善，处处充满温情。
我们家楼下住着两位印度阿姨。每天清早我上学时，都会向她们打招呼。每逢印度的重要节日，她们也会做一些印度糕点请我们吃。新年时，我们会拿橘子年糕去向他们拜年，祝她们新年快乐。她们非常爱干净，每次经过印度阿姨的家时，都看见她们正在洗地，晾衣服。她们的家。总是干干净净，时常飘着一股煮咖哩的香味。
我们组屋楼下有四只没人养的猫，有位邻居伯伯每天一定准时带猫食，来喂养这些猫。我们称他为“猫伯伯”，他常常教导我和妹妹要善待动物。我觉得我们的社会需要更多这种好心的人士。
俗语说：“远亲不如近邻”。在我们需要帮忙时，这些好邻居们总会伸出援手。我喜欢我的邻居们，也喜欢我住的社区。

我的假期
三月的假期已经开始了，同学们应该很高兴，是吗？但是我不怎么高兴，因为在家里真无聊，爸妈一直逼我做功课，我也不能用“忙”做为借口了。虽然开学时会很忙，但学校里可以找朋友一起玩，日子还过得比较有趣！现在，我只能呆在家里，每天做完功课，就和妹妹吵架，吵完架就看故事书，看完故事书就再和妹妹吵架。。。好无聊！爸爸妈妈并不打算出国游玩，所以我们只好留在这儿。
幸好，星期一那天，妈妈请了一天假，带我和妹妹到鸟园玩。在那里，我看见了许多鸟类，例如：老鹰，鹈鹕，鸵鸟，企鹅，猫头鹰，鹦鹉，也帮工作人员喂鸟呢！因为我穿了一双不合脚的鞋，结果回家时，脚都起水泡了。
除了去鸟园参观之外，这个假期实在过得十分无聊！

Atlantic Puffin
Special Features: This sea-bird can "fly" through water using its waterproof wings as paddles and its webbed feet to steer itself through the water. It needs this skill to catch fish. Other than being able to travel through water, it is also speedy in the air. It can flap its wings as many as 400 times a minute, and can fly up to 88km/h. Its beak is also designed to catch fish, and the largest ever recorded number of fish in a puffin's beak was 62.
Other facts: Its scientific name is Fratercula Arctica. It usually lives to be about 20 years old. The oldest puffin lived up to 29 years old. It weighs about 500g.
Manatees
Special Features: These gentle giants are about 4 metres long and weigh about 400kg. Despite their big size, they are graceful swimmers. They looks like hippos, but their snout is smaller and have a tail. They are slow, and swim at about 8km/h normally. If threatened, they can swim at 24km/h. They are an endangered species, as they are often killed for meat, hides, oil and bones.
Other Facts: They have sensitive skin, and the females give birth to one calf at a times. The calves' weight range from 25-80 pounds.
Blue-Footed Booby
Special Features: Blue-footed boobies are a type of bird. They have blue feet, and males usually have brighter-colored feet than females. The females choose their mates according to how blue the males' feet are. They only take care of their babies until 2 months. They have a wingspan of about 1.5 metres, and can dive into water for fish.
Other Facts: They weigh about 1.5 kg, and females are usually bigger than males.
Special Info for Sick people thinking about....well, if you are sick, you will know: The name "booby" comes from the word "bobo" which means "stupid" in Spanish. They are named like that because these birds have slow reaction and are clumsy. Not the other thing....

Post 2: My autobiagraphy
Hello! This is my autobiography:
My name is Amy Liang. I was born 3rd February, 1996, in Mercy Hospital in Melbourne. The hospital was must have been really lousy because my mom started her contractions in the morning of 2nd February but only gave birth to me on 3rd February in the afternoon. I was cute and cuddly, my mom told me, unlike my puny little sister that looked like a tiny monkey.
At 10 months, I said my first word, "马", which is "horse" in Chinese. I threw up a lot, and my mom was practically driven crazy by me. At one year old, I started taking my first unsteady steps. At 2, I ate with a spoon and bowl. (You may be wondering why my sentences are so short and abrupt. That's because I don't remember anything at all, and is depending on my parents' information now.)
At 4 or 5, I beat up my first victim. It was a boy in my kindergarten, and he had been bullying me for years. I did not kick or punch. I did not scratch. I bit into his leg and like a drumstick, and tried to tear the muscle off. He cried and cried, but I did not let go. To my surprise, it tasted quite nice. It was bloody and had teeth marks after the teachers pulled me away. Serve him right.
At 7, I got myopia and had my first glasses. There were Mickey Mice at the sides, and was dark blue. I also entered primary school, Henry Park Primary School. At 8, I started to learn horse riding. It was really fun (and absorbed my energy so I did not beat up anybody yet in these few years.) I'm still learning now.At 10, I participated in my first riding competition and got a 1st!!! I was really nervous and was literally shaking on that day. But the horse was obedient and I'm thankful for that.
At 11, I got my second and third medal, which is 3rd and 1st respectively.
My hobbies are horse riding and reading. I have so many novels at home I have to stack books on top of each other and my bookshelf looks really messy. My favorite so far is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It is 550 pages long, and I loved it. The story was set in the early times of World War II and was about a German girl and a Jewish man.
I haven't done anything spectacular so my autobiography must be really boring.
P.S. For you all child kidnappers out there, you must be glad you know lots about me. But why not kidnap other children in my class, my family isn't filthy rich. And they don't drive a Mercedes. And actually, I live in a flat, not a bungalow because I'm not a Singapore citizen and the government here is really cruel to us.
