Mr. Swales wanted to find out what his students’ parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls laughed. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s daddy is a garbageman!”

Everybody in the class laughed out loudly, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red.

“Silence!” Mr. Swales said, “Being a garbageman is a difficult and useful job. We should all be grateful to Jodie’s father.”

Jodie’s father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn’t run up to him as she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.

Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie’s father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.

It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie’s arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy.

“Garbage is dirty, but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making others happy. That’s why I like being a garbageman so much.”

Jodie gave her dirty, smelly garbageman daddy a big kiss. She said, “When I grow up, I will be a garbage-girl!”

Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He’s a garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”

Everyone wants to relax after working or studying for a long time. I have many ways of relaxing myself. Let me tell you some of my favorites.

I am a sports fan, so the usual relax is to watch or play many kinds of sports. My favorite is tennis, but I am interested in all kinds of sports. It is exciting to see team members doing their best. It’s amazing to see players playing very well. It’s true that playing sports is not only physically(身体上地) “ relaxing”, but it is really cool, and a good way of “relaxing” my brain after a day’s hard work.

I enjoy listening to music, and I always have some music playing during my free time. I listen to all kinds, but I enjoy listening to beautiful piano music. Some people can’t study while listening to music, but for me, I believe I can study better by listening to music.

Some people choose to relax by traveling. I don’t have a favorite place, but I hear that traveling in Australia is really enjoyable. I like visiting different kinds of places and eating famous food there. I also enjoy sightseeing and seeing how the culture and people change from place to place.
