When I was four years old, I wanted nothing more in life than to play the piano． My best friend Betty had a piano． But Betty hardly played it at all． She would rather play hide-and-seek． It didn’t seem fair．

One day my mother came to pick me up from Betty’s house． “Watch this!” I told her． Then I ran to play a song I had learned that morning． I was so proud of what I’d learned． “That’s nice, Jenny,” she said． “But we can’t afford a piano．”

When I turned six, my mother bought me a recorder（直笛）． The problem was that I didn’t love the recorder． When I played the recorder, I didn’t feel anything special inside． I asked my mother if we could have a piano． “We still can’t afford one,” she said． “One day, I promise．”

In the sixth grade, my mother traded in the recorder for a real clarinet（黑管）． I like the clarinet more, but it still wasn’t a piano． It wasn’t the music that was inside of me．

One day, when I was in the seventh grade, my mother cut an ad out of the newspaper． We drove to a stranger’s home in Providence, Rhode Island． The woman had a beautiful, dark wood piano from Russia． It was called an upright piano because it was tall． It was so shiny that it looked like it was wet． “We’ll take it,” my mother said． “It has a nice sound．”

After that, I played the piano every single day．When I left for school in the morning, I would leave the sheet music open on the piano． When I got home, I would walk straight to the piano and sit down and start playing the sheet music． I even played if I stayed home sick． I had finally found the music inside of me．

Do you struggle with music? Have you been given an instrument to play, but you just can’t play it? Maybe you think you’re just no good or that you don’t have any musical talent． Don’t get discouraged． It’s not true! We all have music inside of us, even if it’s just what we listen to． Now it’s up to you to find the right way to set that music free．

When I was a kid, my dad worked in a shop in the center of our town. Sometimes, I went to the shop with him and I made a little pocket money by buying things for his workmates. But I never paid attention to all the things and people around me.

One day, as my dad and I were driving to the shop, I looked out of the window of the car and I saw an old man standing at the street corner. There was a rose in his hand, he was smelling the rose. For some reason, our eyes met and we looked at each other for about twenty seconds. There was nothing unusual about this man but the meet was unusual to me. Up to that moment in my life, I had given no thought to anyone on the street, in shops or anywhere else. I had no interest out of my family.

But I was interested in that old man. For the first time I had interest in a stranger. What kind of life had he lived? Where had he been in his time?

Once a great man encouraged us to “stop and smell the rose”. Now I want to tell these words to you. Stop what you are busy with and try to fully understand things and people in your eyesight. If you don’t care about others on your road of life, then you are missing your life itself.

2.What was the old man doing when I saw him?

3.When did the writer have interest out of his family?

The best holiday of my life was two years ago. My parents, my aunt and uncle, my three cousins and I all went to India together. We spent two weeks traveling around and we visited many interesting places. The night before we left for India, I was so excited that I could not sleep. Our plane left at 1 p.m. and it took nearly six hours to fly to New Delhi. It was raining when we arrived. We were all very tired so we went straight to our hotel.

The next day, we went on a sightseeing tour. I took lots of photos and we all bought souvenirs at the markets. I learned that there is also a place called Delhi which is the oldest part of the city.

On the third day of our trip, we went to a place called Jaipur. At Jaipur we visited the Palace Museum and rode elephants. The elephant I rode was so big that I almost fell off. While my cousins and I were riding elephants, our parents went to look at the pink buildings that Jaipur is famous for.

Some people think that all Indian food is very spicy. But there are some dishes that are not spicy at all. My favourite dish is chicken. It is delicious. It tastes a little bit sweet. We ate rice every day, just like at home.

India is so big that it is impossible to see all of it in one trip. I hope that I can visit it again some day.
