My friend Peter was kind and lovely. But as a student, he was bad at maths, English and science because he didn't have an aptitude (资质) for that kind of study.
One day we were playing football and the bail got stuck in a tree. Peter climbed the tree to get it, and one of the teachers, John Marston who was looking out of the window, noticed that he was a talented climber.
Mr Marston was an expert (专家) in climbing. He had climbed many mountains.
One weekend Mr Marston invited Peter to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Peter really enjoyed the climbing. Mr Marston told Peter he was a very talented climber for his age. Peter left school three years later with no qualifications (毕业证), but he kept climbing regularly until he became very good at it. In his early twenties, he became a professional climber. He said," I'll always remember Mr Marston because he showed me I had an ability which no one else, including me, knew about."

When I was 5 years old，I went to the USA with my mom. I can still remember the first Halloween holiday I had in the USA.
On the morning of Halloween，we paid a visit to a pumpkin（南瓜） farm. Each of us brought a pumpkin to school with us. I used the pumpkin to make a lantern which had two triangle eyes and a scary mouth.
In the afternoon，we put on the Halloween costumes and went on parade in school. Some of the costumes were nice，but some of them looked scary. I chose to wear a suit of Superman's clothes.
I did a lot of things that day，but the part I liked best was “trick or treat” in the evening. After dinner，I went outside with an empty bag. I hoped to get a lot of candies from people. At first，I was a bit nervous，so when I knocked at the door，my heart was beating very fast. A lady came out，and I said carefully to her，“Trick or treat.” My voice was very low，and even myself could hardly hear it. To my surprise，the lady was so kind to give me two candy bars，and I was so excited，thanked the lady and moved on. I couldn't remember how many houses I visited，but I could remember how many candies I got — I got 91 pieces of candy that day，and I was so proud of myself.
What a happy Halloween I had！And I wish we could have a Halloween every month!
