Yes Man Changed My Life
Yes Man is the best book I’ve ever read. It’s the true story about the life of Danny Wallace. Before Danny Wallace became the ‘Yes Man’, his life was boring and he felt old. So he decided to make things more exciting. He started saying “Yes” to every question people asked him. And he did it for a whole year. From the day he started, it completely changed his life.
It’s an interesting story. When I finished the book, I also wanted to change my life. So I had a holiday and became a ‘Yes Man’ for a week. This is what happened.
I started on Saturday morning. At 10 in the morning, I got my first question. I saw a poster in the window of a travel agent (旅行社). I needed a holiday so I went in. A lady asked me where I wanted to go. But before I could answer, she said, “A beach holiday, sir?” In fact, I don’t like beaches, I like cities. But I said, “Yes.” Five minutes later, everything was ready. My flight was the next day.
I arrived at my hotel at lunchtime. It was very, very hot. I just wanted to have a rest, but the guide said, “we have a bus to the beach in ten minutes. Do you want to go?” I said, “Yes.”
It was about 40℃ at the beach. A man asked me “Sunglasses? Do you want sunglasses?” I had a pair of sunglasses in my bag, but I said “Yes.” Five minutes later, another man came，“ Beautiful hat, sir?” I said, “Yes.”
Three hours later, I had two pairs of sunglasses and three hats. It was difficult to carry all my new things back to the bus.
I decided: no trips tomorrow, just rest. When I got back, the guide asked, “Oh, there’s a water skiing course tomorrow. Do you want me to book a place for you?” I can’t swim very well and I don’t like the sea. I wanted to cry.

My Earth Day Birthday
My name is Tara, and this year I had the best birthday ever! My birthday is on April 22-Earth Day. Icall it my “Earth Day Birthday”. Every year, Ido something special on my birthday to help the environment. Last year my mom and Ihelped clean up a beach. Ihad a great time and learned a lot about ocean animals. But this year’s celebration was even better!
Back in January, my teacher, Ms. Gonzales, told usthat the school would hold a special Earth Day celebration this year. Because of my birthday, my classmates put me in charge of the whole thing!
After discussing,we had a great plan. Some family members even helped us with our projects. We were surprised at how fast the time flew. Before we knew it, Earth Day had arrived.
When our class planned the Earth Day fair, we knew that kids from our school and their families would come. We had no idea that our whole town and other towns nearby would hear about it. But during the fair, a news van（新闻车）pulled up with a television reporter and a camera person!
After Ms. Gonzales talked with the reporter,shecalled me over and introducedus. She told him that Ihad helped to organize the fair. The reporter asked how Ihad become involved in environmental activities. I told him that Idecidedto do something to make a difference when I sawa dead turtle in Mexico. He said he thought our Earth Day fair was a big success.
Iwas really excited about being on television. But Iwas even more excited when Igot a phone call that night from our town’s mayor（镇长）. She told me she had seenthe news about the fair.And she willhold an Earth Day celebration for the whole town next year. She wants to include special activities for kids, and asked me to work with her!
I’m so happy that Ifound a way to helpthe environment and Ihad a chance to get more people involved. Maybe the life of that sea turtle Isaw in Mexico wasn’t a waste after all.
