As the youngest child, I didnt have many new clothes. The only time I would receive new clothes was at Christmas. The family across the street lived a better life. They had two daughters and they were often seen wearing new dresses. The younger girl named Anna was of my age. One day, she walked on the street wearing a beautiful white dress. I, together with other girls, followed her. We all wished we would have such a dress one day!That day, I told my mom that I wanted a dress like that. My mom frowned(皱眉). She thought such a beautiful dress must cost much money, but my mom kept that in mind. She worked five days a week at that time, but when Christmas was getting close, she worked even on every Saturday. However, several days before Christmas, I changed my mind. It was Annas birthday that day and I was invited to her home. After that party, I asked if I could try on her white dress. “Of course,” she said, “and you can take it if you like it.” I couldnt believe my ears. How could she give such a beautiful dress to someone else? After trying it on, I knew why. The dress looked beautiful, but it was uncomfortable to wear. As in fact, my back was quite itchy(痒的) after I put it on. From that day on, I stopped admiring what others had. They may not be as good as we think.36 .

Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you get messages from them all the time?People can communicate in many other ways.

Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books，newspapers, TVs, radios and films all help us to communicate with each other.
